Pelosi ready to make history as new speaker

[kat8585]

Which woman has more power over America - Pelosi or Oprah?

(By "power" I mean influence.)

Oprah, for now, and I hope it stays that way.

Forrest, haha. And let it be noted that Baltimore girls get it done.

By the way, are people objecting to her liberalism, her gender, her general positions, her attitude, or any given combination?

I object to her liberalism and her positions and her attitude. Why should I care that she is the first woman Speaker Of The House? As a Christian I cannot and will not stand behind anyone that is a rabid liberal and supports things such as partial birth abortion and gay marriage. I'm not a liberal and I don't apologize for that. She is dangerous and I don't trust her If the church doesn't start being responsible for who we put into power we are all going to be in big trouble.

I'm shuddering. Fortunately it porbably won't lsat past these 2 years.

Use to be Mom! Now it's Nicole Richie or Britney Spears or maybe even Jessica Simpson!

Except for a few "old" folk who know where the tax bills come from, I doubt "young" America knows or cares what a Pelosi or a Winfrey thinks!

All I know (think it will never happen and don't believe it) is that now none of us need to worry about our "pursuit of happiness" the Dems will take care of it for us. I have been labelled by some as a right wing, Bible thumping, intolerant, gay bashing,etc etc etc person. I really do not try to be but oh, well...they didn't like Ezekiel or Jerimiah either. Below is a "satire - joke? I recently received on the internet. Don' be offended - vote for the man that God approves and you can find that out if you spend time with Him.

Grandpa and the Government Check

Without any paperwork or for any reason, this old black man everyone called

Grandpa started getting a $500 check every month. So Grandpa and Grandma

started cashing them.

It turns out the government made a mistake with the address; the checks were

intended for another person with the exact same name.

Grandpa then received a notice that he had to pay back $6,000. Visibly

upset, he complained to his grandson, an accountant.

His grandson asked: "Grandpa, didn't you wonder why you were receiving

checks for doing absolutely nothing?"

Grandpa answered: "I just assumed the Democrats were back in power."

How can they get something they didn't contribute to? Most illegals get paid under the table and aren't taxed at all.

Sorry, wrong post.

One of the things they want to do is lower the interest on student loans.

Translation: we have to raise your taxes.

All of the above excluding her gender.

Interest rates on student loans have nothing to do with your taxes. Reducing the interest rates on student loans costs the banks money, not the taxpayer directly. Why do you think the proposal has like 80% of the public behind it.

It all eventually comes down to us.
