I take back what I said she is great! off topic question mind adding this to links I found it fascinating http://www.interfaithfamily.com/news_and_opinion/synagogues_and_the_jewish_community/Nancy_Pelosis_Interfaith_Family.shtml
Thanks Follers! Very much appreciated.
John Beohner made the right decision leaving. She should do the right think and leave as well!
Nancy Pelosi should run for President as a Republican.
That would be interesting. Weren’t Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, and I believe Jimmy Carter Republicans or at least Republican supporters at one point in their lives?
I highly doubt that Carter was.
Yea you’re right. Clinton I found out was a supporter of Goldwater in 1964.
I didn’t realize till recently that she has Jewish grandchildren that sang to her in Hebrew for her birthday.
