The American Pundit

Apparently this is what happens when Madame Speaker calls the men and women protecting our country a bunch of liars in order to protect her own job.

Cheney has been out there talking about national security, challenging the Obama Administration to release of all of the memos, making accusations that are being backed up by even Obama Administration officials, and recent polls show that a majority of Americans think torture can be justified. Meanwhile, Pelosi has been shown to be a pathological liar who sells out the defenders of this country when it suits her politically.

End result:

PRINCETON, NJ — Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and former Vice President Dick Cheney have little in common politically, but they receive almost identical image ratings from the American public. According to a May 29-31 Gallup Poll, 37% of Americans have a favorable view of Cheney and 34% have a favorable view of Pelosi. Both Cheney and Pelosi are viewed unfavorably by at least half of Americans.

Pretty pathetic. Look, Cheney’s not about to win a national election anytime soon. But he’s a former elected leader associated with one of the least popular administrations in history, was tied to the unpopular Iraq war, was embroiled in multiple “scandals”, and his party was roundly rejected last November.

Nancy Pelosi, on the other hand, is a sitting Speaker of the House, member of the “popular” party right now, and this torture debate was supposed to be an easy winning issue for her side. Yet Madame Speaker finds herself less popular than Cheney.
