Of course until she does something everything is speculation. But I would say there is a threat whenever someone new comes to political power that their payback to their respective supporters could injure the country. This is especially true in a time of war.

Wow! How non-alarming! Sorry, but I'm not planning to stock up on canned food because a few committees are getting new chairmen. Ethical lapses are common in the U.S. government, and as I'm sure you know, it's not an area of particularly good moral high ground for the GOP.

Pelosi just has a really narrow view on the people we have to deal with and dosen't seem to take this new age of a terror threat seriously.

She wants to negotiate with Al Quada, oh and she believes the state should pay for sex change operations - amoung many other crazy beliefs, enough said.

What do you mean by "narrow view" and what people are you talking about?

That sounds like a Republican attack ad.

Yeah, it does sound like it was quoted from a Republican attack ad. It's stunning, in all honesty, that this kind of stuff appears to be effective. Little wonder it's so prevalent - chasing the stupid vote is plain easier than effective governing, regardless of whether its from the left or right.

I don't even know what this means. I suppose the current administration's tactic of fighting a foreign war in a country that had nothing to do with the terrorist attacks while forging alliances with the countries that did is much preferable, eh? You may want to check in a few other places on the dial--not everything you see on FoxNews is actually true.

Huh? Find me the link that says she wants to "negotiate with Al Qaeda." As for the sex change operation business, that sounds like more Fox News alarmism. Relax. This will be a moderate congress, which should be a refreshing change from the intrusive, overreaching, deficit-running congress of Dennis Hastert.

But please--do some more hand-wringing. If it makes you feel better.
