Is Pelosi trying to prove how stupid she is or what?
A House vote to label the century-old deaths of Armenians as genocide was in jeopardy Tuesday after several Democrats withdrew their support and sounded alarms it could cripple U.S. relations with Turkey.
The loss of support is a major setback to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill, who have fiercely defended the resolution to Republicans and the Bush administration as a moral imperative in condemning the World War I-era killings of up to 1.5 million Armenians by Ottoman Turks.
President Bush called Pelosi on Tuesday to ask her not to call for a House vote on the resolution.
"The president and the speaker exchanged candid views on the subject and the speaker explained the strong bipartisan support in the House for the resolution," Pelosi spokesman Nadeam Elshami said, noting that Bush initiated the phone call.
The nation believes the entire govt is stupid. Look at the low ratings for both Bush and Congress. If this is what Pelosi is currently worrying about she is a moron. Actually, the democratic leaderhip is not very smart at all (neither is the GOP leadership). Smart people do not run for office. We elect (and re elect) fools who are bought and paid for by big business to do their bidding in Washington. The People of the USA are not being represented fairly. It is time to start over. DO NOT RE ELECT ANY CURRENT MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. Demand term limits and massive campaign finance reform that assures NO CORPORATE INFLUENCE in Washington. Make our elected officials accountable only to We the People.
In essence, throw ALL the bums out and start over. The ideas of the Founding Fathers have been destroyed. This is NOT what they had in mind when they went to war with England 230+ years ago. The system is good - those that are twisting it to their own agendas are not.
