Nancy Pelosi's Ethics
The next time you hear your favorite leftist democrat subversive creep accuse someone else of exploiting cheap labor, and damaging the environment, take note of the hypocrisy of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Ted Kennedy.
The California Democrat claims to be a staunch union supporter, and along with her husband has received the Cesar Chavez award from the United Farm Workers union. Unions are, in her words, "fighting for America's working families" and battling "the union-busting, family-hurting" Bush administration. But the $25 million Northern California vineyard the Pelosis own is a non-union shop!
But Pelosi's hypocrisy doesn't stop there.
The congresswoman is the top recipient among members of Congress in campaign contributions from labor unions, and has received more money from the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees International Union than any other member of Congress in the last several election cycles. But in addition to the wine business, the Pelosis own a large stake in the exclusive Auberge du Soleil hotel in Rutherford, Calif.
The hotel has more than 250 employees, but once again, it is strictly a non-union shop. The Pelosis are also partners in a restaurant chain called Piatti, which has 900 employess, but a union card is not required to work there bussing tables, washing dishes, serving guests or preparing food.
Pelosi has also demonstrated hypocrisy on the environment. "With us," she proclaims, "the environment is not an issue – it's an ethic. It's a value." That's what she says, but what she does: One of her largest investments is a private partnership called Lions Gate Limited, which operates the CordeValle Golf Club and Resort in San Martin, Calif.
To get a permit to build the facility, the partners promised to build a "public course" providing considerable access to non-members, and to abide by several environmental requirements to ensure that there would be minimal ecological damage. But after the facility opened, the county's Planning Commission found that the golf course was in fact private – and the club had "ignored" many of its permit requirements concerning the environment.
What's more, the course was causing a drawdown in the freshwater aquifer, which could have serious implications for wildlife in the area. So much for worrying about the environment.
Ted Kennedy
Another "environmentalist" named Ted Kennedy can be two-faced when it comes to helping mother earth. Kennedy has recently charged that Republicans have "poisoned our air and water" by repealing environmental protection laws. But when it came to protecting the environment in Massachusetts, Teddy tried to torpedo a plan to erect dozens of wind turbines off the coast of Massachusetts to provide clean alternative energy to Cape Cod.
Apparently Teddy went ballistic when he found out that some some of the turbines would be placed near his favorite sailing spot just off Hyannis Port. Ted Kennedy, who has fought for the estate tax and spoken out against tax shelters, has repeatedly benefited from an intricate web of trusts and private foundations that have shielded most of his family's fortune from the IRS. One Kennedy family trust wasn't even set up in the U.S. – but in Fiji!!
They like to condemn ordinary Americans and Republicans for a whole host of things – racism, lack of concern for the poor, polluting the environment, and greed, but when it comes to applying those same standards to themselves, liberals are found to be shockingly guilty of hypocrisy.

Pelosi
Pelosi is great. 2 years of her and her communist thug pals guarantees that bull dike Hillary won't get elected. Just watch the flag burners. They will assure a Republican president gets elected!
Hopefully Iran won't have brought suitcase nukes here by then. These dems act like the muslims are not the problem. they are dead wrong. The world's most intolerant religion.
Bush was right when he first said it was a crusade. That's what it is coming down to. Us or billions of stinking homicide bombers.
