Was this before or after Sheehan called for the withdrawal of US troops...from New Orleans. No kidding folks. Or after Cindy became Hugo Chavez's bestus buddy?
Just a reminder of what you will be voting for if you abstain from voting for a republican candidate in the House. I really could care less about congressional politics save this one thing. If you don't vote republican, Pelosi will most likely become the speaker. I shudder at the prospect.

Let's take a look at the character of the Congresswoman who will run the House:
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA): "Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process. The responsibility of the United States in this conflict is to eliminate weapons of mass destruction, to minimize the danger to our troops and to diminish the suffering of the Iraqi people." (Rep. Nancy Pelosi, "Statement On U.S. Led Military Strike Against Iraq," Press Release, 12/16/98) source
"I am pleased that Iraq appears to be moving towards democracy, as indicated by tomorrow's upcoming election. However, democracy is not the reason that President Bush gave for invading Iraq more than 1,000 days ago. President Bush asserted that Saddam Hussein presented an imminent threat to the security of the United States, a threat that could only be reduced by going to war. The president was wrong." (Nancy Pelosi 12/14/2005) source
The Valerie Plame unscandal: Nancy Pelosi
"The American people deserve the truth about who in the White House recklessly disclosed the identity of a CIA clandestine service officer, endangering our national security...."The President has said that anyone who leaked the identity of Ms. Plame should no longer be part of his Administration. The American people and Congress expect the President to keep his word. That means firing Karl Rove and anyone else in the White House if they identified her as a CIA clandestine service officer." source
The truth:
It follows that one of the most sensational charges leveled against the Bush White House -- that it orchestrated the leak of Ms. Plame's identity to ruin her career and thus punish Mr. Wilson -- is untrue. The partisan clamor that followed the raising of that allegation by Mr. Wilson in the summer of 2003 led to the appointment of a special prosecutor, a costly and prolonged investigation, and the indictment of Vice President Cheney's chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, on charges of perjury. All of that might have been avoided had Mr. Armitage's identity been known three years ago. ( Washington Post Editorial/sep 1, 2006) source
Clearly Congresswoman Pelosi only has one guiding principle; take what ever position will gain her power. Now for sure this is some what of a factor for any politician (which is why I am not really a political minded person as much as a national security minded person). But come on, she will say anything to get power. Do not trust our national security to this Congresswoman!
