Yes she is presently takeing a cue from Dick Cheney and moving legislation behind closed doors despite the REPEATED pledges of our then future President that this would not be the case.

I came of age when the great Tip O'Neil was the Speaker. He was a good man who did a fine job. Vulgarians like Pelosi and Gingrich do not deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as him. Both, but especially Pelosi, exemplify how absolutely elitist and disgusting these people have become.

I swear, drones like you would defend mass murder if a leftist was behind it. Its no wonder your ilk defended Stalin.

Isn't it funny how only those who agree with you represent "independent standards" and anyone else is to be discarded? Time for more of your liberal limeaid, LFO.

BTW, back to the OP.

Does anyone truly see Pelosi as anything good for the entire country?

IMO, she is trying to run the house as a personal fiefdom.

Tell me about it! That's what makes this news, even that much more impressive. A little slow but they are coming to face reality, and the taste of crow doesn't taste any better with salt or pepper on it. They held off as long as they could, to swallow.

It tells me that even a blind dog has to wake up and find a bone.

Don't worry, he might suddenly announce he has to...errr.. chosen to "pursue other avenues at this time" just like Lou Dobbs

Robert Gibbs: "The liberals love CNN for so-called "facts". It is the most un trustworthy of sources."

wdavid002: "We have the power..keep up the momentum from yesterday. Write to the sponsors that support the liberal networks and tell them you refuse to buy any of their products until the media stops trying to brainwash the American public through their one sided reporting and commentaries. It's time to put an end to the biased press. Let's force organizations like CNN and CNBC off the air for good. Power to the people !!!"

Even when fellow Democrats cite it, I've been saying CNN is nothing but entertainment as is MSNBC. I don't use any of them as sources or credibility, nor should any Republican with FOX. I haven't watched a terrible amount of him but to me Cafferty was always an exaggerative drama queen. I'm undecided about Pelosi but this really seemed like a typical Cafferty "hey look at me I'm on TV" rant. Maybe he's right. I don't know. But considering the level of hated from the right towards CNN and now they eat this up is an epic level of hypocrisy.

Pelosi epitomizes the modern day Washington democrat, which is why they will suffer badly over the next few election cycles.

BTW, the American people are not thru with the RINOs either, we have a few more that need to join the private sector life again.

Yeah, this is going to get interesting soon as the GOP regulars try to front moderate candidates who have some chance of beating a Blue Dog while the Tea Party Piranhas go bersek over their weird ideas of party purity. Shaping up as a lose-lose proposition for the right-wing I'd say...
