Nancy Pelosi, Liberal Obstructionist
Posted by Dave Blount at November 3, 2006 9:23 AM
Just how liberal is San Francisco's Nancy "Stretch" Pelosi, the next Speaker of the House if Dems have their way next Tuesday? A piece in today's Washington Times takes a look at her record. It is not a pretty sight.
According to the National Journal's 2005 vote-based ideological ratings, Stretch is more liberal than 91% of other House members on economic issues, 96% on social issues, and 82% on foreign policy. She received a 95% liberal rating from the Americans for Democratic Action, which is actually relatively moderate for Pelosi, considering that it broke a four-year streak of perfect 100% ratings. But she did get a perfect 0% rating from the American Conservative Union last year. A committed champion of abortion, she has earned a lifetime rating of 100% from NARAL and 0% from the National Right to Life Committee.
What Pelosi has stood for:
- Squishing the skulls of half-born babies and vacuuming out their brains.
- Keeping taxes high.
What Pelosi has stood against:
- Parental notification of minors who want to abort their babies.
- The death penalty for anyone other than babies.
- Welfare reform.
- Permitting prayer in school.
- Allowing the Ten Commandments to be displayed on public property.
- School vouchers.
- Raising the child tax credit.
- Reducing our dependence on Muslims and maniacs like Hugo Chavez by drilling in ANWR.
- Free trade.
- The B-2 bomber.
- Missile defense.
There isn't much that the Queen of Obstruction doesn't try to block. She was even opposed to the foolishly extravagant $400-billion Medicare prescription drug bill, if only because she preferred one that cost twice as much. The odds of any constructive legislation getting through a Congress controlled by Pelousy are nil — despite nimble action being required on the part of the government to protect the country from terrorism, secure our energy supply, and stem the Mexican invasion before it leads to disaster.
