Who would make a better Speaker Nancy or Cindy?

[Perky]

Poll question: Who would make a better Speaker Nancy or Cindy?

Yes I know that Cindy would not replace Nancy if she wins.

[Perky]

1. Watch how many say Cindy

[mmonk]

2. Dang right.

[Perky]

5. I am no Fan of..

Cindy....or nancy for that matter....but this poll ought to be very telling of just how whacked out DU can get.


CIndy SHeehann has no bo business at all getting anywhere close to the Speaker's chair.

[mmonk]

11. You can be amazed how one vote can affect people.

[Javaman]

41. Yeah, because you know, as an american citizen she isn't allowed to voice

her anger and call our do nothing congress failures.

How dare she do that!!!

:sarcasm:

[NavyDavy]

48. shes not a dem so she should not be discussed as much as she

is here if you like and support her that much make a cindy underground....IMO

[Javaman]

51. cindy underground has a ring to it, because if nothing happens next week

with our spineless congress regarding miers, I might just go over to a cindy underground.

Thank you for your great idea!!!

[SoFlaJet]

8. I love all Cindy Sheehan has done

and feel sad for what she and 3,611 other mothers have had to go through and all but come ON-Nancy Pelosi is a skilled politician and Cindy-well she isn't.She's never get the speaker job anyway so it's a moot point

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

10. If They Do, That's The Biggest Sign Yet Of Mindless Lockstepping And Blind Allegiance.

I don't care what arguments people do or don't have as it relates to Cindy and her efforts. But anyone of any rational, open and reasonable mind couldn't POSSIBLY truly believe Cindy would be better. The concept is beyond absurd.

[Perky]

13. yep

[mmonk]

35. How come you think that can't be said about you?

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

37. Ummm, Because I'm Not Being An Extremist Ignorant Lockstepping Moron? Simple Enough.

Spare me. Anyone who things Cindy is prepared, experienced or capable enough to be better than Nancy as speaker, is either monumentally stupid or so blind in their allegiance and lockstepping that they no longer have the ability to have any critical thinking skills; or even common sense skills for that matter; whatsoever.

So c'mon now. Who are ya kidding. Ya know damn well it would be irrational as hell to declare Cindy would be better.

[mmonk]

53. I'm not an extremist ignorant lockstepping moron either.

However, I know if Cindy somehow got into the speaker's chair and put impeachment on the table, we all would be a lot better off. Everybody who doesn't toe the party line isn't extremist and obviously, not lockstep. Experience counts but isn't always the best choice in any given time. But we all know Cindy will not be the Speaker of the House.

[av8rdave]

3. One critical issue: is impeachment on or off the table?

Both Nancy and Cindy have told us where they stand.

[IChing]

4. Stupid Poll and what does "replance" mean?

[KharmaTrain]

7. Let's Play A Game...

This is all fantasyland anyway.

Do these people assume that if they beat Pelosi, Sheehan becomes Speaker of the House? :crazy:

Or that if Pelosi is defeated what that signifies for the Democrats overall? The last time an incumbent Speaker was defeated, the Repugnicans took control. Is this what they hoping for?

Or did I just kill a kitten????

[IChing]

15. I think a kitten just got killed on this thread

What if Nancy went to the moon and Cindy went to Venus
would they find intelligent life on Mars?

[Perky]

19. KInd of embarrassing isn't it

But I honestly think we would rather rail against the machine , then lift a finger to understand the first thing about how politics or governance actually work.


Am I upset that Pelosi is not pushing hard on impeachment...sure...but I also can see beyond the end of my nose.

[Perky]

9. The poll is meant to reveal

how over the top DU can get. I am suspecting it going to wind up with 35% saying that Cindy would make a better speaker...which is truly terrifying because of what it say about DUers.

[KharmaTrain]

20. The Song "Cult Of Personality" Plays In My Head...

I'm not sure which are the true believers and which are trolling through for a good laugh.

[Perky]

25. can trollers vote if they are not members?

[KharmaTrain]

32. It's Interesting To See The "Mirror" Sites

Places that waste time, bandwidth and electrons convulsing over every little aspect of this place. It's interesting to see them do a happy dance when one of their trolls wades in here and stirs a shitstorm.

I don't and won't point fingers at people...that's killing another kitten. But it does seem curious how this topic has consumed so much attention compared to other issues.

Cheers...

:hi:

[mmonk]

30. Are you talking about the dem leadership?

[mmonk]

24. Hypothethical.

What if you had a friend of middle eastern descent who was a citizen or legal resident, but bush's Homeland security picked that friend up and held them for a couple of years on no charge and may have beaten that friend up? What if you had a friend that worked for the CIA that was executed because of a leak from this administration? What if you were questioned and harrassed by the FBI concerning an email you received innocently or a phone call from someone they were following with illegal wiretaps? If you wanted them impeached for that conduct, Cindy would be your only choice.

[Perky]

31. "Cindy would be my only choice"

I would leave the country first....not becuase of Cindy, but becuase the Housw would have lost it senses if it elected Cindy Sheehan Speaker


I hope to God San Francisco will not give them the opportunity

[philosophie_en_rose]

45. Cindy with her 260+ additional magic votes, no doubt.

:eyes:

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

6. Oh God Give Me A Break. Cindy?????? ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Let's be real here. Cindy is wayyyyyyyyyyyy too wet behind the ears to handle a position like that whatsoever. It is beyond ridiculous to actually and sincerely think for a second that she would be a better speaker than Nancy. We have to maintain some level or rational reality, don't we?

This is too funny.

[philosophie_en_rose]

18. Next Poll: Who would be a better surgeon - your doctor or Cindy Sheehan?

:rofl::rofl::rofl:
:rofl::rofl::rofl:
:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

23. LOL!

:spray:

[napi21]

12. You're missing a very important requirement for a speaker.

Knowledge of how the House rules work! Cindy speaks from her heart, and I like and respect her and her passionbut the likes of Boehner, Hunter, etc. would run over Cindy like she was an ant crossing the road.

[lazer47]

14. Worst case would be that Cindy pulls votes away from Nancy

and a freaking Repub gets into office, then we could all thank Cindy for being and Idiot

[johncoby2]

16. This is so stupid. Cindy would NEVER be selected as speaker.

The speaker is elected by the majority party. WE dont get to vote for this.

What stupidity.

(this is besides the fact that cindy would suck as an elected official)

[question everything]

17. OK, we are adults here

Running for office and holding an office is more than being a one issue.

Only children who scream and throw tantrum if their wishes are not granted behave like Sheehan.

Go home, Cindy. Find other venues to offer you solace at the loss of your son and your marriage.

How about volunteer at a VA hospital?

If she beats Pelosi than we might as well say good bye to the Democratic party.

[Perky]

22. anyone who responds with "good riddance" ought to be banned from DU.

ought to be banned from DU.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

34. Hear Hear To That!

:toast:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

21. Well, Nancy's fucking it up.

It'd be hard to do worse.

[EFerrari]

28. I try to remember that she had to go clean up the horrendous mess

the Thuggery left behind. Sometimes, I think they did it on purpose to create problems for us. :shrug:

[bellasgrams]

38. It could be a lot worse.

Sometime I read these posts and try to imagine what kind of people think like this? Are they young and immature? Are they old and hateful? Or are they just not thinking things through?

Ok blast away.

[Greyhound]

26. My dog (see avatar) n/t

[WI_DEM]

27. Speaker? Nancy Congress person representing interests of district, perhaps Cindy

[truebrit71]

29. Nancy, hands down..she's a Democrat..Cindy...not so much...

..oh, and this is a fucking stupid poll...

[Perky]

33. Of coure it is a stupid poll

but one ion four DUers want Cindy to be speaker.

How much more stupid is that?????

[truebrit71]

40. Quite alot more....

...never quite understood the devotion to her here....I feel bad about her son, but she is clearly heading off the rails...

[Raejeanowl]

36. Give Me A Break

This poll is so sophomoric it's embarrassing. Are you sure this is DU or maybe the AOL Politics Message Boards?

[GeorgeGist]

39. Grow up. /nt

[Perky]

47. Truth hurt that much?

[Lilith Velkor]

42. Nancy, because her voice is slightly less annoying. n/t

[ReverendDeuce]

43. With all due respect to Cindy...

I really do not think she's the sharpest knife in the drawer.

[spanone]

44. You know how long it takes to become Speaker of the House?

you gotta have many friends in congress to reach that pinnacle and put in many years

Nancy has been in the House for twenty years.

[nini]

46. The cindy votes will prove how politically naive people are

passion about an issue does NOT make one a leader or a strong political player. It amazes me how little some people here actually know about how the system works.

Does this mean Cindy shouldn't keep fighting against the war - no. It means she needs to know the best ways to accomplish her goal within the system.

[BuyingThyme]

50. Anybody who supports Nancy thinks failure makes for a strong political leader.

Why is that?

[BuyingThyme]

49. Ummm... The results are already in. Nancy is the worst ever.

Any objective analysis shows that Nancy has marginalized every single duly-elected representative of the people in both the House and the Senate. She has brutally attacked and undermined the Constitution. She has shown no remorse. She has squandered the Democrats' mandate. She has turned the American people against Congress. She has turned a lame-duck president into a lame-duck Congress. She is a stigma on democracy. Anybody is better than Nancy.

Stupid question.

[johncoby2]

52. Cindy cant even find the bathroom in the capitol

Much less run the business of the country.

How stupid.

[Jed Dilligan]

54. To whom?

To a room full of rich and powerful old men? Or to a room full of concerned middle- and working-class citizens?

Oh, wait, you mean Speaker, not speaker. But I want to make the point anyway.

[Vidar]

55. Pelosi is clearly more capable, but all too often she uses her powers for evil.
