Does Nancy Polositi understand her role?

Yes she is a danger and she should be stopped. Who is going to do the stopping though? She has gone over there against Bush's wishes thinking that somehow she can accomplish something where others have failed. What even qualifies her to try something like this? Does she has experience in foreign affairs, or is it more likely that she is making a political statement much the same as those congressmen did last year when they pulled a similar stunt? This is kind of a pet peeve of mine with these people. Instead of doing the job they were elected to do, they would rather meddle in things that they have no business messing with. Would she be doing this if a Democrat was in office? I think not.

I think it is apparent to anyone who knows the government and the rules that Speaker Pelosi has overstepped her boundaries. First, the attempt to act as commanders in chief by the Democrats is unconstitutional. Secondly, this trip to Syria is unnecessary and puts our government in a vicarious position. Any talks between her and the leaders of the Middle East show a weakness and a divide in the US Government. This is a huge opportunity for even the weakest of our enemies to get a foot in the door. This little "goodwill" trip is actually going to harm our foreign policy by degrading our strength as a nation. Speaker Pelosi needs to remember that she only runs the House. She is responsible for what happens on the hill not abroad. I am not sure if there is any action that can be taken by the President. But the members of Congress can do something and should.

Her one and only goal as Speaker of the House is to undermine the US as much and as often as possible. She doesn't care how many laws she breaks or how many lies she has to tell. The thing is, her supporters don't care either. The US Constitution and seperation of powers means nothing to the left. While the US is at war with terrorists, the left is at war with Prs. Bush. Trashing the US Constitution is just "collateral damage" to them. If anyone doesn't believe me, count how many replies here defend Pelosi without ever citing any legitimate authority she has to have policy talks with leaders of other nations.

I did a little research and found that she did in fact brerak the law. There is a little known and nnever enforced act called the logan act that forbids anyone from conducting diplomatic negotiations with another nations leader without express aproval of the president. Thpugh she will probably never be prosicuted, it does demonstrate her complete ignorance to the way of government and international affairs. The president expresly dis-aproved of her trip but she went anyway. I fear this may only be the beginning of things with her and as time goes on we can expect to see far more of this kind of behavior from her. This can mean no good to this nation or our allies in the future.

I have a number of issues with Madam speaker's little trip abroad. First being is that it is NOT in her job description. It is not described as a speaker's duty anywhere. Several groups have come out and praised her for the trip including Islamic Jihad. Many may interpret this as her trip being a success. This is a dangerous mis-conception. All she is doing is creating a false sense of security in this nation and opening more opertunity for these groups to get to us in our moment of devide and blind trust in diplomacy. There is no amount of diplomacy and reasoning or diplomacy that can be successful with people who are driven by deep religious belif to kill us. You CANNOT negotiate with these people and it sickens me that a great number of believe we can. YOU CANT. I re-iterate, YOU CAN NOT NEGOTIATE WITH THESE PEOPLE. Despite what success may apear to arise from this it is far from the case. People like Pelose need to get this into their thick skulls. Bill CLinton, who was LOVED by the world, was diplomatic with all of them, was caught with his pants down every time one of them blew up more of our people. Now if Clinton's diplomacy didn't stop all these attacks, why should ANYONE think that Mrs. Pelose's will be any more useful other than to open us to more attacks. I dont believe there is any legal recourse in this matter, there is no law forbidding a u.s. congress member from such trips. However, when we suddenly find our selves being blind-sided by another attack, we will have the speaker to thank for it, although she will be far too ignorant to realize that it was her that opened the door to it.
