Pelosi - First Female Speaker of the House?
First of all I hope the Democrats take back the House. Having said that I don't think Nancy Pelosi should be the next Speaker of the House. Most experts agree that Pelosi has the best chance to be Mrs. Speaker if the Dems win control.
I would like to give the tip of the hat to John Spratt (D) of South Carolina for Mr. Speaker. Suprisingly, John Spratt has been a progressive Democrat in the South since 1983. Having a Speaker from the deep South would do major damage to the Republican image of us Democrats. On-the-hand, Pelosi would simply be a punching bag for the Republican minority.
The Republicans are coming after John Spratt this election cycle. His race will be reflective of the direction of our nation. Stay tuned... Jun.04.2006.
My hope is that the war in Iraq can be resolved quickly. I do not believe that this war was necessary. I think the representatives of both parties should first clean up our own yard before we try to force our way of life on peoples from other countries who enjoy different cultures and values.
As far as which party will do the best job for the people that voted for them I think this is a joke. They will continue to work against each other because the so called party is the most important entity. The people that vote do not seem to make a difference to our Congress people.
My hope is that they will work together for the common good!
