Pelosi has a 53% approval rating which is astronomical for a Speaker. Newt toped out at 41%.

1. Didn't I hear that scum blond on MSNBC

say that Pelosi was a flop?

That her ratings were terrible and she is a horrible role model?

Are you telling me that is not true? :sarcasm:

[MadBadger]

3. Just wondering

who said that. An anchor or a guest?

[goclark]

22. It was an anchor

agreeing with a guest.
They just started piling it on Classy Nancy.
It made my blood boil!

It really makes me mad when the so called "Democrat" that is a guest will let the bully out talk them.

That's what happened.

[Hamlette]

11. the press better start "getting it" or the are history

I couldn't take more than 10 minutes of news on the shootings, people are starting to realize Jon Stewart was right, the media are hurting America.

It didn't matter when there was no competition. They could say whatever they wanted no matter how false and who was to say?

Now the Internet can. And is.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

20. Was that the vile Alex Witless? I would love to know if she has Swiss bank accounts. eom

[goclark]

23. I think that was when it was but I'm not sure.

There are so many of the new vampires that I can't keep them straight.

One was called a LIAR by one of the guests and she told the guest in no uncertain terms --- "I am ending this interview because you called me a LIAR!"

Did anyone hear that one? Was that the Nancy poll numbers time?

[mrreowwr_kittty]

2. Those are some fascinating stats. K and R. n/t

[MadBadger]

4. Read all the stats

Almost all of them are very good for the dems. I think the Hillary Clinton one is the only bad one.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

7. I did!

The opinion trends on the war, economy, and Dems in Congress are SO encouraging.

Why, exactly, are we not starting the impeachment process? :wtf:

[Ediacara]

18. Those aren't for Hillary, they're for Bill

Check the dates, all the Clinton data is from the 90s.

[BlooInBloo]

5. One wonders how extreme it has to get before people realize that the public is on our side.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

9. No, before the DEMS in Congress realize it!

The people are there. All we need is for our leaders to get a clue and IMPEACH THOSE FUCKERS!!

[BlooInBloo]

17. You *tried* to disagree with what I said, but you failed.

[ginnyinWI]

6. I admire Pelosi so much

I'd like to see her as our first woman president. She's smart, tough and compassionate, and you need to be all three to be a good president.

[Poiuyt]

25. I'd like to see her as the first female president too. Preferably before 2008

[MadBadger]

8. I wonder how many of those that disapprove...

Do so because they dont think she is doing enough in terms of the war.

[Erika]

10. She's one fantastic lady

She has the balls W wished he had.

[saltpoint]

12. Nancy Pelosi is doing a great job. One of our brightest lights.

[Hamlette]

13. I will admit I was anxious about her being speaker.

Now I'm not sure I remember why.

But she's been great. Hearding cats and doing it with style (yes, shallow, but ya gotta admit, more fun to watch her then Denny.)

[saltpoint]

14. There's this incredible blend of fire and compassion in her eyes.

I really like her, and as you say, there's that aspect where the job is like herding cats.

But she's getting it done, and I hope Bush realizes that "a new Congress is in town."

Time for a few changes!

[Hamlette]

24. the kids at the swearing in was absolute genius, a wonderful image to remind us of what it is all

about...the children. I can stil picture her up there with all the kids.

[saltpoint]

27. Yes. They are our future grown-ups and future citizens-who-vote.

She does a great job of reminding people what is expected of them.

Bush is likely shaking in his fake cowboy boots that she's the new Speaker of the U.S. House.

Go, Nancy!

[Hamlette]

28. and also of reminding all of us that the laws we pass in Congress will impact our children.

Which really starts to concern you when you see your children become adults. I hate that we are leaving this huge debt to my son's generation. I worry he will never be able to own a home with all the debt we are passing on.

And don't get me started on how expensive it will be to clean up the environment after ignoring it all these years. . . .

[saltpoint]

29. Agree on everything you said.

[bdamomma]

15. Pelosi is everything these thugs are not, she poses a threat

to them, I hope she remains strong in her conviction to support the American People and the exit plan for our troops to get out of Iraq.

[byronius]

16. I've grown to respect and adore her.

She speaks for me.

[Hippo_Tron]

19. Yea, but Bushenfurhrer's approval ratings are in the 70's...

If you poll freerepublic that is...

[progressoid]

21. K/R!

[The Count]

26. Pelosi for President 2007!

[senseandsensibility]

30. Yo, Nancy!

And she made it without being babied by the corporate media. Lil georgieporgie can't top thirty even with the "media" cheering for him.
