Nancy Pelosi a war monger? Wow, how things in this country have changed. According to The Hill, stretch Pelosi says to expect a war authorization vote on ISIS when the lame-duck session of Congress resumes after the November 4th, mid-term elections. Old botox Pelosi even wants to have the vote in the lame duck session without waiting for King Hussein Obama t request it. Boehner on the other hand wants to wait for Obama’s request. The Democrats are becoming the 1960’s LBJ Democrats, in their lust for war.

| ISIS war authorization vote in lame-duck session of Congress? |
|---|
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Md.) said Wednesday that Congress should get ready to debate and vote on an authorization for the war against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in the lame-duck session.
“When this Congress comes back into session in November, it’s important we are ready to debate and vote on such an authorization. Between then and now, we should be prepared,” Pelosi said at her weekly press conference.
Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), however, said in an interview last week that debating the use-of-force authorization with lawmakers who might not return to Congress next year is the wrong approach.
Above all, Pelosi emphasized that Congress shouldn’t wait for President Obama to send a request to Capitol Hill.
“I disagree with the Speaker who says ‘well, we should wait for the president to give us an authorization so that we can vote on it,’ ” she said.
“You don’t wait for the president to write it. Congress writes it because we are asserting our willingness to vote for a plan of action,” she added.
Oh BTW, The Hill also lists Botox Pelosi as a Democrat from Maryland. Since Maryland is so much like California these days (and especially San Francisco), what difference does it make?
