Pelosi A Reformer? Right Jeff, Tell Me Another One
Lobbyists Won't Like What Pelosi Has in MindHonestly Jeff, I knew you were a bantam weight, but I didn't expect even you to be that gullible. You actually believe that Pelosi will do as she is saying? You are a fool. Nancy Pelosi is as crooked as any politician that has ever been on the Hill. If she does pass any laws, you may rest assured there will be loopholes galore for her Democrat buddies.

Odds are that lobbying in the House of Representatives is about to get harder.
If Democrats gain the 15 seats they need to win control of the House-and most analysts think they will-one of the first things the new House will do is restrict or end outright a slew of lobbying practices.
In a little-publicized statement, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), the House Democratic leader, has promised to change the chamber's rules to reflect the provisions of her not-so-modestly-named Honest Leadership and Open Government Act of 2006. The months-old measure would, among other things, prohibit House members from accepting gifts and travel from lobbyists or from organizations that employ lobbyists.
The Pelosi bill includes changes not only to House rules but also to federal laws. Any changes in law would have to be approved by the Senate and the president before they could take effect. But the House can alter its own rules anytime, and that's precisely what Pelosi proposes to do as the House's first official act next year -- after it selects her as speaker.
It is certain that her buddy Harry Reid won't allow Ms. Pelosi to prevent his sons from earning a living as lobbyists Democrats were for four decades the primary recipients of the largess of lobbyists. Do you really believe that they are the ones to clean it up?
If the Democrats and Republicans do pass any kind of lobbying reform, it will be due to overwhelming public pressure, not from any genuine sense of honor. Pelosi has no honor.

What has she done to make her as crooked as, oh say, Bob Ney? Have you noticed that no one reads your stupid blog?
Jebus, not even you read your own blog. Or are you just afraid of how I will fillet you?
Just this once,
I don't care what you say you gutless, anonymous, moron. Most readers don't comment, and most of my readers read my stuff on mensnewsdaily.
You couldn't filet me in a million years. Hell you can't even spell it. You are a nobody, irrelevent to the world. You have the intellect and the wit of a fifth-grader on a bad day. Post to your little brains content, you only make my criticisms of Liberals more poignant. I won't do anything as long as you keep it reasonably clean.
Go ahead, show the world how emotional and illogical Liberals are and how low they have to stoop to argue.
You didn't answer my question. I guess this means you admit you can't back up your statement.
Is mensnewsdaily a log cabin republican site?

I mean really, there is nothing "stooping" about this. Totally straight forward question. I mean really, do you have to insult me? Does calling me names really allow you to ignore this simple question? All of your readers (meaning me) want to know. Perhaps you can't because you are a liar?
What a coward you are.
Does your boss at Parsons know your surfing the internet instead of working?
I wondered how long it would take for the threat of, "I'm going to tell on you" came out. It is often employed by those who have nothing to say to refute claims. You make false calims and fail to back them up. That makes you full of shit.
I made no threat whatsoever, merely asking a question. I was just curious what kind of coward hides behind the anonymous label. Whatsamatter your conscience bothering you. Typical gutless Liberal.
You have made no arguments with which I need to take issue, only lob insults. You are a legend in your own mind.
I told you, enjoy yourself. I really don't care. Oh yeah, what does Bob Ney have to do with Nancy Pelosi? Typical Liberal bait and switch. STick to the subject.
