Kim..before I post links..I will give you the opportunity to admit..a Republican delegation visited Syria just days BEFORE the Speaker..

"A lot of people have gone to see President Assad..."

Just not anyone from this administration.

I think that we have to give Bush the benefit of the doubt. He has a proven track record with:
-Iraq
-North Korea
-Iran
-Lebanon

Never mind!

Nogo:

The bangers NEVER let facts get in their way. Kim tried, pathetically, to distinguish between Pelosi and the Repubs.

Hey, How much do you make being Blog Vultures?

The trolls are correct about this one. Why, Grandma Pelosi is, after all, The Most Powerful Woman In The World. I expect her to soon return home and announce peace in our time. Yep, she can do it...just like that other moonbat did in 1938.

Her own foreign policy is to support and capitulate to terrorist nations..just like the trolls that post on here!

I see the idiots have already chimed in. Read the Constitution. Never mind, you would have to search for someone with enough education to read it to you and since none of you, your family or friends meed these requirements, why bother. You ultra brilliant thinkers on the left praise that fool for going to Syria. At last look, Syria is an Arab country with Islam as the dominant religion. She will be uncovered and unveiled. Therefore she will be viewed as a whore, an idea not totally without merit. Since she represents San Francisco, the Babelon of the west, all gay and all the things muslims find so indearing about us. She will be viewed as a gift as the whore of Babelon from the United States. Do you really thing they will take that bitch seriously? If you do, you are the fools that I think you are.

Did "Stretch" Pelosi take several pairs of knee-pads on this trip? She DOES have many Islamo-fascists to service, and you know how demanding they can be....

I see the idiots have already chimed in.

But they were really waiting for you to put the icing on the cake. You never dissappoint Zels.

From the AP wire (via Seattle PI):

In a statement issued by the U.S. Embassy in Damascus, the congressmen said they had talked about "ending support for Hezbollah and Hamas, recognizing Israel's right to exist in peace and security, and ceasing interference in Lebanon."

"We came because we believe there is an opportunity for dialogue," the statement said. "We are following in the lead of Ronald Reagan, who reached out to the Soviets during the Cold War," it added.

Hmm, my history may be a bit fuzzy, but I'm fairly certain that it was Thatcher who said to Reagan regarding Gorby, "I think we can work with this one." Why? Because Gorby was not a hardliner and interested in reform.

Now who actually believes that Assad or Ahmadinejad are reformers in the Middle East, raise your hands.

here is a clue.."Indeed, on April 1, Reps. Frank Wolf (R-VA), Joseph R. Pitts (R-PA) and Robert Aderholt (R-AL) traveled to Damascus and met with Assad, two days before Pelosi's scheduled trip."

check this out for yourselves..then e-mail them and ask them why they hate America...

Maybe Ms. Pelosi is going to see if the surrender date that she's proposed is acceptable to Syria. So, perhaps she'll be visiting Iran to surrender there next ?

Zelsdorf Ragshaft III,

Syria is a secular state. Like Turkey. Or like Iraq before the invasion.

Didn't you catch the election coverage there? The Baath Party girls were very fetching in their tight sweaters.

Average, you don't have a cake to ice. I hope you spend your days waiting for me to post. It is time well spent. What part of "the Congress is responsible for making laws, not judging them or enforcing them, and that the executive branch is exclusive in determining foreign policy escapes you Average? I will wait for you to formulate an answer.

Are you implying that above went against the wishes of the President or are you demonstrating that you don't understand the distinction between engaging foreign leaders at the behest of the President and engaging foreign leaders in opposition to the President ?

BryanD, do you know the origin of the Baath party, who they admired and tried to copy? If you research the answer, tell me you think Pelosi should be cavorting with Nazis.

Question: Are the Islamo-Nazis truly collaborating with San Fran Nan or are they just laughing at her? My bet's on the latter....

Zelsdorf,
Don't waste your breath. Liberals are ignorant of history...that's why they're Liberal. Anytime they hear of something, they think it's happening for the first time and they discovered it. It's all brand new to them. So explaining the parallels between the Nazis and the Baathists, including their support during WW2, would be a monumental waste of time.

"..went against the wishes of the President.." mike

Sorry mike but you are wrong again. Perino was asked about the other Congressmen that went to Syria and this is what she said:

Perino: "Tony Snow was asked at this podium months ago, when Senator Nelson made a similar trip, he said the same, that this was a blanket policy -And so that was the reason that we said that we discouraged her from going. But that policy applies to all."

So you see mike, the Rep Congressmen did not go on the behest of Bush. Bush only wanted to make a big deal out of a Democrat going.

Zelsdorf Ragshaft III,

Right! The Baathists are not Islamic fundamentalists. They're modernists of the National Socialist stripe.

And women can work, drive, go to school, travel, hold high office, and are allowed to go "uncovered".

Your post implied otherwise.

I was right. Rush to defend the Queen Piglosi.

Nogo , You don't know the difference between "self serving" and "serving the people".

She isn't there discussing trade or anything but foreign relations.

Logan Act.

I love how you put that BryanD. Modernist of a national socialist stripe. With Swastika's. Outside of Nazi Germany, were else is natioal socialism popular? Are you intending that by modernist, they use VX gas rather than Zyclon B? Since you are good at answering questions BryanD. I will ask you just one more. What faith is it that these modernist Nazis ascribe to?
Himt, Islam. What is the major religious belief practiced in Syria? I know, more than one question. I can't put anything past you lefties.

Hey, I can pretend to be a Wizbang poser, I mean poster too.

Where do I start?

Clinton! Ted Kennedy!

dims r traitorz, duhhhhh

Piglosi, huh huh huh.

I may be confused...
please explain how the Republicans visiting a few days earlier was serving the people..and the speaker on a fact finding mission is not?
Serving the people?
The People want the troops home now..Yet Bush and the Republicans could care less...
ya all want to hang on to this?

"The answer my friend, is blowin' in the wind..The answer is blowin' in the wind"

I am often amazed how the past 5 years have pushed me more left than I thought possible when I enlisted in 1969..voted for Nixon in 1972..
Voted for Ford..Voted for Reagan Twice..the real Bush once..and "W" the first time..

Kim, Jay Tea, et al, once again I beg you to deal with the trolls. They're polluting the site. After all, who is your audience? The trolls will never consider your arguments; all they do is mock.

There's an important distinction between dissent and disparagement.

Goddess, please allow the trolls to continue. Without them, on must log on the the dispicable daily kos to find real idiots. The way we have it here, they are resident. Saves time. I admit it would be interesting to see a honest and logical defense of their positions, but then we do not have the cream of the left log on here.

"Outside of Nazi Germany, were else is natioal socialism popular"

Loosely to very loosely speaking:
Spain until 1975. Egypt now. Turkey now. China since 1949. PRK. Until recently Uraguay. Paraguay. Argentina. The list goes on.

"Are you intending that by modernist, they use VX gas rather than Zyclon B?"

Military caste system focused on science. A more correct term would probably be Futurist, from the Italian glorification of harnessing technology which influenced the Fascist Movement in Italy after WWI. And Hitler.

"I will ask you just one more. What faith is it that these modernist Nazis ascribe to?
Himt, Islam. "

WRONG! While ostensibly muslim, as stated above, Baathists are thoroughly modern and place the state above (or equal) to religion. That is by definition Un-Islamic today. Islam preaches an inexorable deterioration of society and a strict reliance on faith. Baathists are futurists and pragmatic and are by definition worldly.

And sorry, but I'm one of the 18% of Republicans who never bought the Kennebunkport Kowboy line.

The reason the dimmers do not get the significance of little Nancy's trip is she is now in a position of leadership. Third removed. More gravitas. She knows it and is trying to usurp some presidential authority. I would hope the dimmers would get the difference but that would be expecting way too much of them. ww

You mean Pelosi Galore?

nogo:If Democrats really believed the people want the troops home now cutting off the money would have been their first option and not a last resort response to a threatened veto.But maybe they aren't interested in serving the people and bringing us what we want-success in Iraq-only ensuring our defeat.So what facts will the speaker find from the murderous dictator of Syria? Just what is she saying to him in private? For all I know she is plotting the assassination of Bush and Cheney with the help of Assad.I'm often amazed that leftist trolls think Conservatives belief any of the b.s. they come up with about how they used-to-be-Republicans-but-finally-saw-the-light.
Sure, Moby, of course you were.

Maybe that's true BryanD. But they surely are different when they're in charge don't you think?

Pelosi & Crew, crica 2007 = Neville Chamberlain, circa 1938.

I couldn't agree more. Trolls like jhow, Scrappy, Rob, etc. do nothing but insult, and the discussions of opposing viewpoints would be a lot more pleasant without them. In fact, we've lately even had some on posts from the right telling those trolls to knock it off, so it would be a bi-partisan cleansing.
