ROFLMAO???. Snarly Harley, you're hysterical. I don't see how anyone could take you seriously. It looks like you're getting flustered and testy and having considerable trouble effectively expressing yourself. I'm told this is actually fairly common among two digit IQ narcissists.
Your profanity and name-calling are great debating skills especially when you stammer and run out of meaningful and intelligent things to say. Of course, that's assuming you have anything meaningful and intelligent to say in the first place and there's scant evidence of that. Your contributions to the discussion thus far have been, shall we charitably say, somewhat shallow.
BTW, and not that it really matters, but you're once again woefully wrong in your assumption that I'm a Republican and that I'm a Bush lover. Here's a news flash for ya', Snarly. There are a few of us Democrats who have no love for Bush who didn't vote for Obama. I didn't vote for Bush either and have some real problems with some of his actions and policies as well as those of some of his cronies. I would have had no problem with impeachment or other legal action IF there were strong enough legal grounds to make it stick, which I seriously doubt there are. What I wouldn't want to see is an unwinable partisan witch-hunt like the one the Republican's pulled on Bill Clinton. The rancor and distraction that would go along with it would be disastrous. We've got way bigger fish to fry right now.
Now go on back to your corner and continue sucking your thumb??????..Or what is more likely, some other body appendage that provides you with the same thrill you seem to get from making a total jackass of yourself.

Sliming Pelosi
Email To A Friend
Please fill in the following information and we'll email this link.
This sickening!
She quotes...' We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income, (didn't Karl Marx say something like this?), in our country and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest.' (I am not rich, are you?)
When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied:
'We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities. For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long way to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as 'Americans'.' (Read that quote again and again and let it sink in. 'Lower your retirement, give it to illegal aliens and others who have not worked as you have for it'.
Send it on to your friends. This Democrat is a socialist thief and the speaker of the house!
An old falsehood going around in a new version has Pelosi advocating a "windfall tax" on all stock market profits, including those in tax-deferred 401(k) retirement accounts. We debunked an earlier version of this one more than a year ago, in one of our very first "Ask FactCheck" items. Back then, we called it "a fraud" and "a malicious fabrication." But it has lived on, and still remains on our Hot Topics list of things we're asked about most frequently.
In the most recent version, an anonymous author adds some editorial comments and extra exclamation points: "This is sickening!" and "This woman is a nut case!" and "This Democrat is a Socialist thief. ...!" But the substance of the claim remains as false as ever.
Pelosi has never proposed anything close to a 100 percent tax on stock profits, and there is no evidence that she has ever uttered the words this bogus message attributes to her.
To be sure, Democrats generally favor an increase in the top tax rate on capital gains – which are the profits from the sale of stocks, bonds, real estate or other assets that have risen in value. The top rate is currently 15 percent for assets held for a full year before sale, down from 20 percent before President Bush's tax cuts. Pelosi has generally called for repeal of Bush's tax cuts, but not for anything approaching the 100 percent "Windfall Tax" described in this message. Furthermore, we know of no proposal to tax any profits in 401(k) accounts or other tax-deferred retirement vehicles, as this message claims.
A Jet-Propelled Whopper
A third false rumor flying about is that Pelosi ordered up a 200-seat Air Force jet for her personal use and that she jets around in it routinely, while other Democrats scold Detroit auto makers for flying in their own private jets.
That one has at least a mote of truth to it. Pelosi has used the Air Force equivalent of a Boeing 757 to fly between Washington, D.C., and her San Francisco district. But she has done so exactly once, when no smaller aircraft was available, according to Air Force spokesman Eric Sharman. At other times she flies in a much smaller, 12-seat executive jet, the same type used by her Republican predecessor, Dennis Hastert.
As we pointed out in an Ask FactCheck item on Dec. 12, Hastert was given use of an Air Force C-20B for security reasons following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The speaker of the house is next in line after the vice president for presidential succession.
When Pelosi became speaker, House Sergeant at Arms Bill Livingood (who was appointed by a Republican-led House) proposed using a larger jet that could make the transcontinental flight to her San Francisco district without refueling. This led to claims that Pelosi was demanding use of the Air Force C-32, normally used by the vice president and first lady. It is fitted out with a fully enclosed stateroom that includes a private lavatory, separate entertainment system and a convertible divan that seats three and folds out to a bed – a "flying Lincoln bedroom," in the words of Republican House Whip Roy Blunt.
