My new favorite politician

[readherring]

Tom Coburn Knocks Fox News, Says Nancy Pelosi is a "Nice Person"He's not my favorite because he said something bad about Fox News. He's my favorite because he has gone out on a limb with his party just to be a decent and respectful person. His political beliefs are 180 degrees away from mine, but I admire his decorum and his breaking away from

i'm just suspecting it's another case of this:

that depends on who we're talking about.

it's certainly not fair to people like nancy pelosi. or for that matter anybody who has had to put up with this nonsense for so long, since all the eliminationist rhetoric in the world will magically disappear if one guy says something nice and you can produce an eight year-old picture of a guy calling george bush hitler.

the republican party has gone out of its way to make debate and compromise impossible. when you convince everyone who votes for you that "the other guy" literally murders babies and wants to sell all the nascars to china, do you think they want you to compromise? there can be no compromise with mortal enemies. they set themselves up to defend irrational positions and needlessly obstruct and distort the entire government process. "nancy pelosi is okay in person" doesn't undo any of that.

I hope that it is a start, and not just an anomaly.

While I was pleased to hear that someone on today's right has a modicum of courtesy, it really says something about the state of the nation when it's big news that someone from one side of the aisle showed some civility toward the other.

Phew this gave me a good laugh. Nancy Pelosi a "nice person." HAHAHAHA thanks I needed that!

[readherring]

Have you ever met her personally? My parents always taught me not to prejudge people.

[rainynights]

like I am not judged on my beliefs here? Right. In a perfect world no you would not judge a person before meeting them ( I pray to God I never meet her) but in this case she is a politician so yeah she is opinion to judgment. Its called PUBLIC office for a reason.

Let me ask you something. Is sacrificing other dems jobs just to push your super leftist agenda nice? Hmm I would say not.. who cares what happens to you little peons as long as my agenda gets through. If I have to step on you to get it done well so be it..

Yeah she is super nice..

and before anyone starts on the GOP or conservatives yes there are quite a few jerks I know..
