Even Her Side Is Running Away

Hey folks,

I caught this after all the posts on Sunday, and did not want to take away from our special gust on Monday, so here you go.

You KNOW you are having a bad day when even your own people start backing away from you. No, I’m not talking about Hillary. Supreme Leader Wannabe, Socialist Society Seeking, Communist loving Hillary taking illegal laundered campaign contributions from Chinese. Any questions on that one? Anyone?

No, I’m talking about LWL Leader and Traitor Pelosi. Remember what I said about the Armenia genocide resolution? Back on Friday October 12, I said this.

“That is complete and utter BS. Not even Bunk. That is complete BS The TIMING is exactly RIGHT, for the LWL and Traitors in Congress, to further their agenda of hindering the troops, attempting to block this President from keeping America safe, and causing us to LOSE the War while Bush is still President. It really is that simple.”

I told you about the letter Pelosi received signed by the eight living former U.S. secretaries of state, Republicans and Democrats, stating that passage of the Armenian Genocide resolution would harm our foreign policy objectives to promote reconciliation between Turkey and Armenia. The letter also strongly urges the speaker not to bring the resolution to the House floor.

I ended with this.

“Again, just like the “poor children” when it comes to Healthcare, or the “support” they show for our soldiers, while delaying funds, while calling them stupid, murders, torturers, Nazis, or YOU, when they talk about moving America forward, they do NOT care. They do not care about what happened to the Armenians, they are USING them as political pawns. It is, just that simple.”

She STILL wanted and wants to continue with this. Denying the real intent the whole time of course. This is not going well though. According to Reuters - Pelosi's judgment questioned over Armenia issue

Democrat Nancy Pelosi's pledge of a new direction took a detour when she fumbled an Armenian genocide resolution and raised questions about her leadership as the highest ranking member of the U.S. Congress.

Pelosi, 67, speaker of the House of Representatives and next in line to the presidency after the vice president, swore she would push the controversial resolution to a vote, then blinked when some fellow Democrats withdrew their support in the face of furious reaction from Turkey.

President George W. Bush warned the symbolic resolution to affirm the 1915 massacre of Armenians by Ottoman Turks as genocide would harm Washington's relations with Ankara. But as long as it looked like it would pass, Pelosi stuck to her guns.

{Laughing} “As long as it looked like it would pass.” They do EVERYTHING based on “Popular opinion.” Based on polls. Forget right and wrong. “What’s POPULAR? We’ll do that.”

When Democratic support started waning last week amid protests from NATO ally Turkey -- which denounced the measure as “insulting” and hinted at halting logistical support for the U.S. war effort in Iraq -- Pelosi wavered.

What did I tell you?

Critics say she miscalculated.

“Miscalculated?” No, that WAS her whole point. That WAS the goal. Again, they got found out. They got caught. Lights came on, the Cockroaches scattered.

“It's certainly not her finest moment,” said Michael O'Hanlon, senior fellow in foreign policy studies at the Brookings Institution in Washington.

“There's been no great harm done, but we do have to find some ways to mend the U.S.-Turkish relationship.”

Turkey accepts that many Armenians were killed in World War One, but denies they were victims of a systematic genocide.

Pelosi took office amid much fanfare 10 months ago. She proposed “a new direction” for America and vowed to challenge Bush on a host of fronts, including the Iraq war.

We all now KNOW what that new direction is all about.

Her stumble on the Armenia resolution gave Republican critics more ammunition.

They called the bill another “irresponsible” or “dangerous” foreign policy gambit by Pelosi, who flew to Syria last spring when the White House was not on speaking terms with Damascus.

Pelosi also has tried for months without success to defy Bush's policy on Iraq with legislation forcing a withdrawal of U.S. troops.

Definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different outcome. It will NEVER happen. But they keep trying. I love this. Get this.

Even some of Pelosi's closest allies, like Pennsylvania Rep. John Murtha, say she misjudged the Armenian resolution.

No, got caught.

Murtha, who opposes the measure on the grounds the United States doesn't have any “damn allies” and therefore needs to keep Turkey on its side, counted up to 60 Democratic votes against it and said it would fail if brought up.

MURTHA folks.

Pelosi is one of several Californians in Congress with many Armenian-Americans in their districts. They have pushed similar proposals for years.

“She feels morally committed to this issue,” said Murtha. “It's just, is it practical at this point to go forward with it?”

Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich offered another excuse for Pelosi's misstep: she had too much on her plate.

I wonder if that was intentional. “Dennis Kucinich offered another excuse”

This week House Democrats also tried and failed to override Bush's veto on a children's health program. A bill to revise rules for government eavesdropping on terrorism suspects had to be pulled from the floor at the last minute.

“The pace of this institution is not always conducive to a well-thought-out approach, to considering the consequences of a certain type of action,” Kucinich said.

Pelosi still has not ruled out calling a full House vote on the Armenian resolution, which the House Foreign Affairs Committee passed on October 10.

{Sigh}

Some conservative commentators suggested the genocide measure was part of a hidden Democratic agenda to undermine the Iraq war effort, but other analysts said that was unlikely.

Of course it is.

"I think it's more domestic politics, playing to interest groups, than backdoor foreign policy," said George Washington University professor of international affairs Henry Nau.

"If members of Congress are plotting with interest groups to weaken Turkish support of U.S. policy in Iraq and thus undermine American forces in Iraq, the drama thickens beyond my capacity to comprehend," he said.

“Beyond my capacity to comprehend” THAT is one of the problems. It IS beyond MANY people’s capacity to comprehend that we actually have a political party in this country that wants us to lose this war. It is beyond MANY people’s capacity to comprehend , that we could actually have a political party in this country that WANTS to bring about a Socialist Society. That ACTUALLY want to take away the freedoms that have made this country so great, and replace it with tyranny. But the truth is the truth. She did, there are, and they are trying to. America needs to wake up and see what is, as it is. Before we start standing in line for bread.

I don’t think, even she, is this stupid, to bring this to the house floor. If she does, she already knows it will fail. It will be nothing more than another show for the owners of the New Democrat Party. Nothing more. But the consequences are dangerous.
