GOPers Must Think Nancy Pel... from thejoshuablogs.blogspot.com

Last week, Nancy Pelosi said that Gen. McChrystal should report his recommendations up his chain of command and not in press conference: Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) criticized Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal on Charlie Rose last night for going public in London last week with his assessment of the war in Afghanistan -- which he believes requires tens of thousands of additional U.S. troops for victory. "Let me say this about Gen. McChrystal, with all due respect," Pelosi said. "His recommendation to the President should go up the line of command. They shouldn't be in press conferences." "That's not where this debate takes place," Pelosi added.The always modern, forward thinking GOP, through the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) responded: Washington- General Stanley A. McChrystal, the top American commander in Afghanistan rejected a call to scale down troops last week and reasserted the need for a strategy that will lead to victory in Afghanistan. That wasn’t good enough for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) who once called for the same strategy advocated by the military’s top ground commander. ...If Nancy Pelosi’s failed economic policies are any indicator of the effect she may have on Afghanistan, taxpayers can only hope McChrystal is able to put her in her place. I guess they think The SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES place is in the kitchen, barefoot & pregnant? Well, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz was the first to jump to the Speakers, and women everywhere's defense (via Politico): "I think the place for a woman is at the top of the House of Representatives," said Wasserman Schultz. "It's evidence they long for the days when a woman's place was in the kitchen. Now a woman is third in line for the presidency... But it's not surprising, coming from a party that's 80 percent male and 100 percent white," she added, referring to the composition of the House GOP conference.But then, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) doubled down on

Called Out for Their Racism... from www.progressohio.org

Republicans in the House are 80% Male and 100% White. So racism was their first choice of how an "opposition minority party" should act out. After they got called out for those tactics they moved on to try misogyny.The National Republican Congressional Committee is attacking Nancy Pelosi and is really hoping that Gen. McChrystal will put her in her place in their latest fundraising press release. Now, Pelosi is backpedaling on Afghanistan amidst increasing criticism from the radical left: "I've also made it clear it's a very difficult vote to get from the members," she added. "Their constituents don't like an escalated war in Afghanistan. They'd like to see a different approach. But let's see what the president has to say." (Glenn Thrush, “Pelosi skeptical about Afghan surge, McChrystal,” Politico, 10/05/2009) “General Pelosi has no problem sacrificing her own credibility as the Obama administration and liberals in Congress attempt to walk back a strategy they strongly advocated just months ago,” said NRCC Communications Director Ken Spain. “Nancy Pelosi continues to make party politics a higher priority than our national security. Rather than listening to a four-star general’s assessments on Afghanistan, General Pelosi somehow believes she is better suited to craft our country’s military policy.” If Nancy Pelosi’s failed economic policies are any indicator of the effect she may have on Afghanistan, taxpayers can only hope McChrystal is able to put her in her place.Speaker Pelosi responded to the NRCC like this: "It's really sad they don't understand how inappropriate that is," Pelosi told reporters at her weekly press conference. " I'm in my place. I'm the Speaker of the House, the first woman Speaker of the House. And I'm in my place because the House voted me there. That language is something I hadn't heard in decades."Watch It: Republicans seem to think a woman's place is in the home. Nancy Pelosi shows them it's in the House. . . . and GOP frat boys, . . . before you tr
