House Speaker-to-be Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) endorsed Rep. John P. Murtha (D-Pa.) yesterday as the next House majority leader, thereby stepping into a contentious intraparty fight between Murtha and her current deputy, Maryland's Steny H. Hoyer.The unexpected move signaled the sizable value Pelosi gives to personal loyalty and personality preferences. Hoyer competed with her in 2001 for the post of House minority whip, while Murtha managed her winning campaign. Pelosi has also all but decided she will not name the ranking Democrat on the House intelligence committee, Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.) to chair that panel next year, a decision pregnant with personal animus.
Pelosi had been outspoken about her frustration with Murtha's declaration that he would challenge Hoyer, currently the House minority whip, for the majority leader post long before Democrats had secured the majority. Many believed she would remain on the sidelines, just as Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) did earlier this year when three Republicans vied for the post of House majority leader.
But in her first real decision as the incoming speaker, Pelosi said she was swayed by Murtha's early stance for a withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq. Her letter of endorsement yesterday made clear that she sees Iraq as the central issue of the next Congress and that she believes a decorated Marine combat veteran at the helm of the House caucus would provide Democrats ammunition in their fight against congressional Republicans and President Bush on the issue.
"I salute your courageous leadership that changed the national debate and helped make Iraq the central issue of this historic election. It was surely a dark day for the Bush Administration when you spoke truth to power," she wrote. "Your strong voice for national security, the war on terror and Iraq provides genuine leadership for our party, and I count on you to lead on these vital issues."
Seems to me that they really are Surrendercrats.
And the decision on Rep. Harman means that the new chair of the Intelligence Committee will be Alcee Hastings -- whose impeachment and removal from his federal judgeship on bribery charges seems not to be an obstacle in Pelosi's eyes, even though she voted for it. So much for fighting the culture of corruption.

The fanatically Zionist siteowner prefers the fantically Zionist Harman, a liberal pro-abortion, pro-gun control advocate to the conservative anti-abortion, pro gun-rights war hero John Murtha. Such is the lengths Israel-firstism goes among deluded (non)conservatives.

But I am curious -- how can a racist bastard like you support putting a black man in charge of anything, given your clarion-cries for white suppremacy?

I supported many of the efforts of black nationalist James Meredith, (first student to integrate Ole Miss who went on to oppose forced integration) and ,broadly, the efforts of Louis Farrakhan when he works to develop the seperate needs of his people and opposes the internationalist/Zionist agenda.
Please take especial care to avoid mistyping a key word when you , a white man, refer to su(p)remacy. Such carelessness could bolster smirking disrespect for our interests.

If you are attacked as whites are so victimized in a clear pattern of black on white brutality in many American cities, you have a common interest by default.
