Speaker Pelosi is No Poster Child for Civility

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) gave what might be considered an Oscar-worthy performance by a “mis-speaker” of the house in her weekly press conference. Holding back “tears”, the Speaker expressed her “fears” that the peaceful protestors assembled in Washington this past weekend were reminders of the violence she experienced in San Francisco back in the 70’s.

This would be laughable if it weren’t coming from the Speaker of the House of the United States who repeatedly goes out of her way to lower the discourse by referring to Americans who don’t agree with her point of view as swastika carrying Nazi’s; who has no shame in saying the CIA, “…lies all the time…”and then refuses to support her claims; who constantly abuses the rules of the house to stifle dissent and cut off debate; and, who abuses her office and taxpayer dollars by taking junkets to the Europe without batting an eye.

The Speaker should stop playing political games and wake up to the fact the American people have grown tired of the gamesmanship and mistruths spewing out of the Speaker’s mouth. The American people wish Speaker Pelosi no bodily harm, they just want her to stop all the political shenanigans and start listening to the want the people want for a change.
