| Pelosi's Illogic |
| 2008-09-30 |
| Amy Holmes, "The Corner" @ National Review It seems to me that the real problem with her speech was its illogic. She stridently attacked George Bush's "failed economic policies" and then, in the same breath, implored members to support his most controversial, unprecedented policy, yet. So, her message was George Bush has been an unmitigated disaster for 8 years. He hasn't gotten one thing right and has plunged America into an economic black hole. But in this case, we need to trust him. Why? Because she says so? They had a huddle? On what political goodwill was she drawing? The public strongly disapproves of the bailout bill. And to make legislative matters worse, voters have a lower opinion of Congress than a used car dealership. Congressional approval ratings have never been lower. After eight years of relentless partisan attacks on George Bush, Democrats have not only succeeded in sowing distrust of the administration, but of their own judgment, as well. So, now, when our leaders tell us that we have a genuine crisis, they have no credibility to lead us out. Such are the wages of blind, partisanship. We don't trust what they tell us they see. |

| #9 ed and tu are probably right. It's a form on a web page and the form did require my zip code and that would be the tip off that I don't live in her district. But if enough people send their comments anyway it might at least inconvenience them. |

| #7 Pelosi doesn't accept non-constituent email. She feels her position is quite secure in San Francisco. |

| #6 I just went to this link and let the old girl know just exactly how I felt about her speech. I didn't write anything that would get the FBI after me but if anybody ever bothers to read it they will know that I am unhappy with her. |

| #5 Force of habit. Intentional, I think. The last thing she wants is for a solution to happen that a) is remotely connected to McCain and b) that doesn't entail massive flow of monies to Dem voters. |

| #4 In response to his support for the bailout, Fox Noise asked Mac this morning what he thought of the massive outpouring of voter disdain for the MOAB. He responded by saying he voted for "The Surge" which was not popular with anyone either. He appears to never miss an opportunity... to miss an opportunity. |
