[quote=briansd1]I think that there is a qualitative difference between Whitman and Pelosi.
In Pelosi’s case, her husband is the business person. He’s not running for office.
In Whitman’s case, she’s the business person. She’s running for office. Whitman’s fortune is many multiples that of Pelosi’s; so Whitman’s business dealings are more relevant to her political positions.[/quote]
Brian: Wrong and wrong. I provided excellent examples where Pelosi herself was either directly involved or HAD KNOWLEDGE of what was transpiring. Proffering up “her husband is the business person” is the lamest of lame excuses. Not only is that patently untrue, but as a public servant (note the combination of those two words, by the way), she is held to a much higher standard of accountability. Nancy Pelosi is not the proverbial “little woman” who doesn’t “worry her pretty little head” with those pesky business decisions, she is quite a capable business person in her own right, as thousands of pages of public records detailing her business holdings show.
As far as Whitman’s holdings being “many multiples” of Nancy Pelosi’s, well, you must really not have any idea what Pelosi is truly worth.
Again, Brian, you diminish your credibility by being intellectually dishonest and evasive when confronted with facts and, instead of debating the issues fairly, you either avoid them entirely (as you initially did by not answering) or coming back with non-answers like those you provided above.
I guarantee that, if the shoe was on the other foot, and this accusation was leveled at Pelosi, you would have never brought it up for discussion.
Personally, I find it awfully funny for someone who rails so strongly about hypocrisy, to practice it so freely himself. But that was sort of your point, wasn’t it?
