Default Con8757 Thanx for the Pelosi background.....

what you have confirmed is she is a thoughrobred(sp?) politician.
There is a progression there without a doubt. The problem I have is she is also an openly professed partisan....she is against what ever the opposition is for!!!!!!

I am a victim of my background.....corporate America. And I am proud to say one of the minority at that. In what way? I had a reputation for being the "hired gun". I fixed companies that were in distress. The usual root cause?
People who had great credentials, like Pelosi. When I went in to save a business, among the first thing I did was a quick evaluation of those in charge/in power. Those who worked their way up....unfortunately too many were not doing what was right for the business. They usually were populist in character. Well spoken. In the industry for years. However they were not making the hard calls that were required to stop the ship from sinking. They were the sort who were rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic when it was going down!!! My first task was always to ID the likes of the tall talking, non contributors. They were in the job TOO LONG. They knew too many resaons why something different could be done. The solution? Remove them. Put some one in who is aggressive. Someone new who DOES NOT KNOW WHY things need to stay as they are. For me CHANGE was an absolute requirement. Experience would show, encumbents with tenure, good people basically.....BUT INCAPABLE OF MAKING CHANGES.

That is exactly what is wrong with our governing bodies. They have been there too long. They have tenure. They are not about to rock the proverbial boat. They know how things work and why. They are NOT capable of doing what needs to be done. They can't. They have too many ....you owe me one in play.

I would take a Palin, rough as a cob, to come in and shake things up. Not McCain. Not Obama (he is a in bred politician too.....too much baggage!!!!!!).

Let's face it. We do not have the best people for the job running for the highest offices in the land. We do not have the best people in the Senate or Congress.....too much inbreeding! They will never get the job done.

The main reason I like Palin....right wrong or any otherwise....she is not an in bred Washingtonian. Is she the one to get it done....unfortunately no. She is only a VP candidate....a second best job with not much responsibility or capability to make change.

So a long winded response....I have no use for any candidate...eother party that is in bred...that is incapable of doing what needs to be done. and I do not subscribe to backing a person because they are my party.

I would bet on a breath of fresh air who is not a part of the existing system.
Someone who will no doubt make mistakes trying to DO SOMETHING VS the ongong do nothing crowd. Partisan politics WILL NOT GET THE JOB DONE.

Every well running business I left for the stock holders usually had very few or NONE OF THE ENCUMBENTS in place.

Washington needs an enema!!!!!!!!

The likes of Pelosi...Obama....McCain are not the candidates to get it done.

I am ranting I know....but it is what irks me no end......defend the party.....no matter what. There is no way that will succeed or change anything.

I am not for Palin as much as I am against the establishment. McCain....Biden...Obama...Pelosi....Reid....et al....!!!!!!!

I also do not believe in voting for the best of the worst....whoever that may be.

I'll take the new broom every time.....however...ther are none running for office. Yes, I would bet on Palin to make changes the others can't. She won't be able to....because the establishment and partisan America won't let it happen.

In corporate America it took paradigm shifts to make things change/happen. It just will not happen in Washington, DC.....NO MATTER WHO WINS!!!!
