I’m an Independent, but I lean to the left. I was inspired by Barack Obama and believe he’ll do great things for the country. On most major political issues I side with the Democrats.

So it’s not just partisan drivel when I say that Nancy Pelosi is a b*tch.

There’s no way around it. She’s a petty, manipulative robot. Have you ever watched her speak? Her face doesn’t move like a normal person’s. Everything but her lips is completely frozen. There’s a solid chance she’s not even human.

Consider the situation facing our country at this moment in history. We’re dealing with a recession and teetering on the brink of full-scale economic collapse. We’re dealing with an energy crisis. We’re engaged in two wars overseas. The GOP has been dramatically thrown out of power, an African-American has been elected President, the Democrats made sweeping gains in both the House and the Senate, there is an urgent public demand for an effective stimulus bill– the stage has been set! Enter Nancy Pelosi… and the biggest potential waste of taxpayer money since we payed George W. Bush over $500,000 to run our country into the ground.

If you’re not familiar with the concept of economic stimulus, here’s a simplified explanation: In a recession, business slows down. It affects everyone. People lose their jobs, and have to stop spending money. Because less money is being spent, more people lose their jobs. It’s a cycle, and when it gets moving the wrong direction it takes a massive intervention to stop it. This is where the government steps in. By spending money and creating jobs, they get money flowing again. As previously unemployed citizens find jobs, they start spending money again. As more money is spent, more jobs are created. It’s an incredibly simple concept.

That brings us back to Pelosi and her colleagues in Congress. All they needed to do was spend some money on projects that would create jobs. Build roads. Repair bridges. Renovate buildings. Build parks.

And what did Pelosi give us? Take a look! $300 million for contraceptives! $50 million for the National Endowment of the Arts! $400 million for global warming research! $2.4 billion for “carbon-capture demonstration products”! $81 billion for medicaid, $20 billion for food stamps, and $83 billion in tax-credits for people who didn’t pay taxes.

These are all worthwhile causes, BUT THEY WILL NOT CREATE JOBS! They do NOT belong in a stimulus bill.

Pelosi knows this– but this is her chance for payback. The Democrats were harassed and marginalized under Bush, and Pelosi wants them to pay. You can make the case that the GOP deserves it– but that’s not the point. The point is that our economy is at the brink of collapse and THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR POLITICAL REVENGE! Grow up, Nancy Pelosi! Follow your President’s lead. Work with the Republicans and DO WHAT’S BEST FOR THE COUNTRY!

You’ll have plenty of time to jerk the Republicans around AFTER we fix the economy.
