Nancy Pelosi...and here we go...

"The Speaker of the House does not normally personally preside over debates, instead delegating the duty to other members of Congress. Aside from duties relating to heading the House and the majority political party, the Speaker also performs administrative and procedural functions, and remains the Representative of his or her congressional district."

So, correct me if I am wrong or blind, but where does it say in that description of The Speaker of the House that duties include foreign relations to a country known for harboring terrorists??? IT DOESN'T!!!

WHAT is Nancy Pelosi thinking? For those of you who are not completely aware of this situation I am talking about I will give you the briefing. As everybody knows, Syria has been linked to supporting the terrorist groups, Hamas and Hezbollah. Our President and the administration decided (a while ago) to isolate Syria in any talks of any form in hopes to isolate them from other countries and to force them to quit dealing with terrorists. Plus, we are supposed to refusing talks with countries supporting terrorists, right. Well, we have the great Nancy Pelosi who decided to take it upon her own to go over to Damascus (capital of Syria) and engage in talks with Syria about "peace". So she goes over to talk peace with the leader of a country, who supports terrorists groups, who has a history for promising "peace" actions and then does NOT follow through with his promises. To make the matters worse, Nancy Pelosi is NOT respected by anybody in the Middle East because she is a female and they do not respect the female gender....duuuuhhhhhh....everybody knows that...she chooses to ignore that fact. (That is why I do not believe Condi Rice would make a good President right now) The leader of Syria said he is glad Pelosi came over to talk and blah blah blah....SMOKE AND MIRRORS....he is blowing smoke up everybody's butt who believes him.

Look at this. Here is Pelosi shaking hands with these people. Hopefully this will make you mad.

So know what has she done? Well, basically she has undermined the President and the administration, which you don't do even if you don't agree with their policy, and shown that we are a weak and torn nation. She has engaged in "peeeeace" talks with a country who we know is supporting terrorism and is allowing Iraq violence attacks be based out of his country. She has over-stepped her duties as The Speaker of the House. She has engaged in peace talks with a country who we know is supporting terrorism. She has engaged in peace talks with a country who we know is supporting terrorism. She has engaged in peace talks with a country who we know is supporting terrorism. Does everybody get the picture?

Gosh this makes my blood boil. People, just to let you know, I am pounding on my keyboard as I am typing this because I am so mad. She is a complete moron and it is REALLY scary that she is 2nd in line to the Presidency...even though it would take a historical event to make her President...it is still scary that she is that close in line.

So this shows you folks. The Democrats want to talk "peace" with terrorists supporting countries and probably terrorists groups as well. Yep, can you imagine where this country will be heading with a Democrat as President. Just imagine if Nancy Pelosi was President right now. Think of all of the "crowd-pleasing" that would be going on with the terrorists. I truly believe that if a Democrat is elected President in 2008, it will begin the downfall of this nation in the sense that we will no longer be known and feared as a powerful nation. Everybody will see us as a weak nation that gives up if you press enough of our buttons.

Oh yeah, what makes this even worse......our tax dollars paid for this useless trip to the Middle East...by the way.

***Edit***
Ok, when I make a mistake, I can admit it and fix it. Not necessarily have I made a mistake, but I have not given you the full picture. There have been other members of Congress visit Syria in the past. Here is the difference in what Nancy Pelosi did and what those other members of Congress did...the other members of Congress (which I believe were all Republicans) went over to discuss breaking ties with Terrorists in more of a stern manner. Kind of like a "do it or else..." scenario. Nancy Pelosi undermined the administration and talked about "peace" with everybody and went to please them. Kind of like a "how can we help you, lets all get along" scenario. As I said, this shows weakness within the country. I think Nancy Pelosi went at it with the wrong attitude and should have approached this situation with a different route like...oh I dont know, maybe discussion with the President and the administration FIRST. Not saying I agree with her going there because I don't whatsoever, just saying she went at it wrong to begin with.
