Go vote.

Pelosi wouldn't have become the minority leader if she was that liberal. For the district she's representing, she's sort of moderate. San Fran did vote to impeach Bush. But I'm not her defender. All of the R's have been using "San Fran liberal" to slander her without defining what that word means. It's a catch all that means anything to anyone. It's a nonsense scare tactic.

If the shoe fits? While I would agree that agressive labelling certainly can be slanderous, but when her voting record reflects it, its not really slanderous. The other side certainly does the same. Her voting record is certainly liberal. I guess I could dredge it up but she has been consistently left on social issues like abortion rights, gay rights, expanded health care and economic programs. She won the position over the more moderate Steny Hoyer, so the thought that a liberal would not be elected in by the dems certainly doesnt hold true. In fact as Leiberman's ouster from the democratic party shows, they have not much interest in moderate democrats, at least in the party leadership.

With regard to the economy, it's doing better than Dems say it's doing but not doing as well as Repubs are saying it's doing.

perhaps, I think thats something that we will only see. Growth has steadied from 4.0% to 2.5%, which if we sustain that isnt a boom but is healthy
