I wouldn't call myself conservative but I don't like her because... everynametaken Send a noteboard - 08/11/2010 02:40:19 AM
Seriously, i heard so much negative talk about her during this election but no one ever said anything about why they specifically hate her so much? is it the creepy plastic surgery? cuz other than that i cant off the top of my head remember her doing or saying anything other democrats were not saying.


After six years of GOP control of Congress and the Presidency that saw some pretty mean and nasty treatment of "the other party" she managed to come in when the Democrats retook control of congress in a cry by the public for more bi-partisanship and managed to make Congress even worse. In the last two years there has been very little across the aisle talk between parties, some by GOP choice but a lot of it by the Democrat's refusal to forgive and forget and cooperate in a reasonable manner. Some of that, well, a lot of that has to fall at the feet of leadership and she was the primary voice of the Democrats the last two years. While I don't think she is dumb like some other people I don't like I do think it was a mistake for the democrats to ever let her be Speaker. During several of her speeches I hear parts of, including her speech right before passing Healthcare, she sounded out of touch with the mood of the nation and even somewhat patronizing. The House of Representatives is supposed to be the voice of the people. She made it the voice of her beliefs and ignored any other dissenting voices as she barreled on and forced legislation that most Americans simply did not want made law.
Oh, I had to laugh when she recently made clear she wants to remain as the Minority Leader. If the Democrats let her take that position then they truly deserve to take even further losses in 2012. She has no business leading anything anymore.
