- AzBats, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14I think you'll find that many congress critters have visited foreign countries and the problem seems to be that Pelosi has taken to heart what James Baker's commission said unlike the executive branch.
- Junkyarddawg, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Actually it's the executive branch that's trying to take Congress place. Foreign policy is the Congress' responsibility.
Incidentally there's been two other republican congressmen in Syria, just the week before Pelosi. But, they were *republican* congressmen, and hence it wasn't newsworthy. - kaelyiesta, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the problem the left has is in fact the hypocrisy of condemnation (from the media and right politicians) with a democrat visiting syria but not a republican. From what I understand, the left does not have a problem with the right visiting syria. If I see things correctly, the issue you are raising is exact what the democrats are upset about, except its the republicans who are the hypocrits. Ironic...
- kaelyiesta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5No sarcasm, just curious; Who were the congressmen? Google isn't being cooperative.
- Junkyarddawg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6@kaelyiesta: Aderholt and Wolf. Also, republican congressman Hobson visited with Pelosi.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5can you post some links on that
- Junkyarddawg, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Possibly because the GOP has slammed Pelosi?
Hypocricy, indeed.
I don't see *anyone* slamming Issa for going to Syria, I see a lot of people slamming GOP for hypocricy. - the6thReplicant, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3>> considering that the left in this country practically lit up a cigarette in exhilaration when Pelosi visited the Syrian leader
Where in God's earth do you neo-cons get this stuff from. You can't just make stuff up and have it on the same foothold as the facts presented here.
There's a difference between what you want to believe is happening and what is really happening.
Did you see anyone of the "liberal" media doing this COMPARED to what FOX and others are doing with Pelosi. No?
I guess you need to look at how the world really works instead how you think it does. - quakerorts, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1One response has been to bury this off the front page. Cowards!
- Junkyarddawg, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3...crickets...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Silence as in Limbaugh denouncing it or silence as in Mark Levin calling republicans who met with syrians traitors?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Yeah, it's kind of hard to link to a radio broadcast from the past. Jackass.
- InfidelAl, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Darrell who?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1sonofdy1 is a NSA/DHS/CIA Zionist disinformation agent. He is well known on digg putting his useless, puerile, facetious comments on news stories, he is not alone there is a list of these idiots and it includes dshpls, hermiker56, sonofdy1, bjkwjk, musicmantrs, h00paj00, there are others...
FInd everything these Ziono-Fascist-Israelo-Trolls have submitted, commented on and dugg and BURY IT.... - theblooms, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1The guy who got Grey-out Davis removed from office in CA. The recall was his baby, and then The Governator stepped in an won the election.
- xobecide, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1No.
- caution, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1It's the fact that she's the Speaker of the House. That adds a considerable amount of weight to her words.
I don't have a problem with the Speaker visiting other countries, even outlaw countries like Syria. I do have a problem with mixed messages. These politicos must speak with one voice outside the borders of the US.
The real criticism that stings Pelosi isn't from the far right (that's going to come if she does nothing) --- it's from the Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and The USA Today. The fact she botched the message from Israel and used terminology no diplomat in the free world would use with a country like Syria is what's getting her in so much trouble. - pawchikapawpaw, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2Why is HE getting slammed for visiting the Syrian President and Pelosi's not? This doesn't sound like a very supportive submission, considering that the left in this country practically lit up a cigarette in exhilaration when Pelosi visited the Syrian leader. HE's doing the exact same thing that Pelosi is doing, except he doesn't have as much "power" to run a shadow government. AND he didn't do as much foreign policy damage as Pelosi did, relaying a half-truth message to Syria.
Hypocrisy.
We can play this game ALL day long, kids. Either what Pelosi, The Speaker of the House, 3rd In Line For Presidency, with the Second In Line's Heart Being Arrhythmic and all, either what she did was wrong and you are condemning her actions as you are condemning Issa's actions, or you're cheering him on for doing the same thing that Pelosi did, only with less "clout" and less "credibility" and less political damage that didn't require Israel to issue a correction.
Go on, choose. I like how you're spinning THIS one. If you have a problem with Darell Issa visiting the Syrian leader scraping and bowing the same way Spaghetti Nancy did during her visit, tell us why we should condemn the guy.
Go ahead, I'm serious. Why should we be critical of Issa, what did he do wrong? If you think that's wrong, why aren't you saying the EXACT SAME THING with Nancy Pelosi? Does this mean you support him?
Hypocrites, each and every one of your lot. - sonofdy1, on 10/12/2007, -21/+6As long as he doesn't try to take the place of the executive branch like pelosi did, I will not care.
