Pelosi is a twit.

I have sooo much disdain for Nancy Pelosi.
Essentially, Pelosi can't answer a question. Here is my paraphrasing...
"Why won't you let offshore drilling come up for a vote?" - George Stephanopoulos
"Because it's not a good tactic or solution." - Nancy Pelosi
"But you have the better arguement, so why not let it come to a vote? " - GS
"Because the oil companies make lots of money." - NP
WHAT?!
Then George asked her if she thought that her prior quotes regarding the minority being allowed to have a voice regarding amendments to bills were contrary to her not allowing a vote on offshore drilling. Her answer was something to the extent of them having to use their imagination on how to bring it up to a vote.
Keep in mind, that the Speaker of the House has the sole choice of allowing bills to come up to a vote in the House.
AND YET SHE ALLOWS EVERY SINGLE IRAQ FUNDING BILL TO COME TO A VOTE IN THE HOUSE WTF?!
Apparently, bad policy is only worth voting on when you know that you will lose. Because Pelosi knows Iraq funding will pass, she allows the vote on the issue, DESPITE being so vehemently opposed to it. Because allowing it to pass allows her to then criticize the GOP for voting for it. Conflicts like Iraq or Viet'nam end when the funding is cut off. But Pelosi has so far refused to block a funding bill from coming to the House for a vote. Yet with offshore drilling, she somehow decides that she block every attempt to bring it up for a vote.
Essentially Pelosi is playing the worst form of politics. She refuses to exercise her power in something so vitally important while exercising it in an issue that the vast majority if Americans supporting, such as more drilling in America.
But she can't stop a military conflict most Americans do not support.
Dear Pelosi. Please get off the fail boat.
