WASHINGTON — Republicans are accusing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of including a provision in a water redevelopment bill that could benefit property her husband owns in San Francisco.

Aides to the San Francisco Democrat denied any connection, noting that the waterfront improvements were requested by the Port of San Francisco and the four rental properties in question are at least a mile away.

Republicans, who raised the issue more than two weeks after the bill passed the House, offered no evidence of benefit to Paul Pelosi's real estate holdings.

"I don't have any facts to say anything untoward has been done here," said Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, chairman of the Republican Study Committee.

"She should explain to the American people what the earmark is all about and convince people there's no financial benefit to her," he said.

John Hart, a spokesman for Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., said that "on its face it appears to be a conflict of interest."
Pelosi's project was part of the $15 billion Water Resources Development Act that passed the House April 19 by 394-25 and pays for hundreds of projects around the country.

Pelosi's measure would authorize $25 million to improve San Francisco port areas, and also would put some areas off limits to navigation so cruise ships could dock.
Her investor husband gets rental income from four buildings in a nearby commercial district.
Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said that she added the projects to the bill at the request of the Port of San Francisco and that her husband's holdings were not a consideration. It's "speculative at best" that they would benefit, Hammill said.

The properties are a mile away.

There is no evidence of any wrong doing.

This is just another smear campaign of lies and dishonesty by the GOP.

Nothing new.

No, there is no "evidence". So far, anyway. Just like there is never evidence in your kinds' endless attempts to call Bush an impeachable liar. Don't like it when the tables are turned?

The difference is that the facts point to exposing Bush's lies.

The facts here do not point to any involvement by Speaker Pelosi or any wrong doing. This is the Del Monte/Guam/minimum wage issue all over again. It's pissy prissy politics from a discredited party that can't find a substantial issue to beat the Democrats on. They are mad because of the crooks in their party that cost them the majority in 2006 and they are trying, unsuccessfully, to point the finger back at Pelosi for hanging that "Crook" label on them.

I know you are new here, but have you seriously missed the umpteen posts accusing President Bush of everything short of causing WWII, with no evidence to make such accusations? When the odd post comes up that turns the tables, libs get their panties all bunched up very quickly. It's really kind of funny.

Dillo hit it on the nose, when he said that it's only ok if libs are doing the accusing. Just know that although some may think it is not, the double standard/hypocrisy is highly visible.

She probably DID do it, at least in part, to benefit her husband's property. A mile away? That could still conceivably alter property values. But all politicians do this kind of stuff. What I want to know is, why isn't Bush or SOMEBODY trying her for TREASON? Or at least investigating to impeach her for overstepping her job description when she made up her own foreign policy and presented it to Syria? SOMEBODY please hurry before the woman heads off to IRAN!

I know you are kind of new here but you may have missed the dozens of Piranah Parties where every conservative jumps on a solitary Liberal poster for daring to advance an idea that goes against their golden boy George Walker Bush. You also may have missed the outrageous namecalling and slurring of character that these same conservatives do and the enormity of their whining when it gets handed back to them by a Liberal who won't tolerate their personal attacks. When the odd post comes around, like this one, where conservatives have to defend the indefensable, they pull the "you haven't been around here very long" card which implies that you know nothing but really says they have no come back for what you have posted. It sad really and not very funny at all.

The difference that Dillo and other rightwingers here fail to realize is that there was no proof of wrongdoing included in the original story and no proof has come forth since the story broke. That really doesn't make any difference to them because they sharpen their long knives at the very whiff of blood and go for the jugular every chance they get. Just ask Bill Clinton, Hillary, John Kerry or even Harry Reid how many times they have been savaged by the angelic choirboys of the right and how many of those attacks turned out to be based on conjecture and supposition and not facts. The facts in this case are clear but that means absolutely nothing to them. Don't blame them, though. They are merely following the lead of their president in ignoring the facts and his approval rating of 28% is all the proof you need for that.

That smell you are detecting in the air is called Elephant Hypocrisy, a new cologne by NewsMax Factor. If you think it smells like shit, you are correct.

Are you trying to argue that if Speaker Pelosi has family in San Francisco working in her district that anything she does to improve the way her district operates could be seen as a conflict of interest? Are you seriously trying to say that she acn do nothing for her district, she cannot bring home any bacon for her constituents? If she cannot, who will? Who will watch out for San Francisco? Does the Speaker forfeit her rights to look out after people because something may be construed to help out a family member? Did this bill target her family in particular? Did she profit specifically because of this bill? Did this bill subvert some sort of law or cause a windfall for her family? Is her husband not allowed to conduct business in his field because of her position? Should he have to leave town and do business elsewhere to avoid any possibility of a conflict of interest because she is in Congress?

Sometimes I think Republicans would try and make a federal case out of a congressman farting during a campaign appearance and then accusing him of illegally endorsing an alternate fuel source.

Rumsfeld said the war would last 6 days, 6 weeks, he doubts 6 months. Bush said Saddam had WMD and was seeking uranium. He had zero nuke capability, why would he seek uranium and as we know he had no WMD. Condi scared us with talk about mushroom clouds. Wolfowitz said the Iraqi oil would more than pay for the war.

And you think these people are honest with us?

You are a liar lover.

PELOSI'S PLEDGE OF NO PROFIT
By GEOFF EARLE
May 10, 2007 -- WASHINGTON - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi signed an official letter stating she wouldn't benefit from a $25 million San Francisco development project she pushed through just a mile from her husband's real-estate empire, documents show.

Pelosi got the "earmark" to redevelop the city's Embarcadero district attached to a maritime-resources bill. Her husband, Paul Pelosi, owns four properties that generate up to $3 million in rental income nearby.

The letter says, "I hereby certify that neither my spouse (if applicable) nor I has any financial interest in such congressional earmark."

The disclosure was required by a new House rule that Democrats put in place when they took over Congress after a series of Republican lobbying scandals.

"There is absolutely no evidence this would result in any gain," said Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill.

That's a lot of what ifs Dilloduck and the other article stated that her husband had properties nearby. Now I know that some are desperate to get her on anything (Syria anyone) but come on, you can't convict on what ifs and nearbys.

Now for Jefferson. I also see that as a Republican problem, since it was Hastert who complained about some rights being violated, and Gonzales fault for not bringing up charges.

If you want to complain about Pelosi, be my guest, but if you want to insist she is breaking the law I need more than wishful thinking.

That's a lot of what ifs Dilloduck and the other article stated that her husband had properties nearby. Now I know that some are desperate to get her on anything (Syria anyone) but come on, you can't convict on what ifs and nearbys.

Now for Jefferson. I also see that as a Republican problem, since it was Hastert who complained about some rights being violated, and Gonzales fault for not bringing up charges.

If you want to complain about Pelosi, be my guest, but if you want to insist she is breaking the law I need more than wishful thinking.

Yeah Syria. She violated the Constitution going to Syria.

Yeah Syria. She violated the Constitution going to Syria.

You'll have a real hard time proving that. In fact, the House rules are written is such a way that if she did violate the constitution, all a congressman would have to do is file an official complaint. That hasn't happened. Your assertion is just wishful thinking as is the topic of this particular thread. You got nothing.

You love it when your liberal leaders coddle the enemy.... don't you? It means you're all the closer to surrendering.

HOW are they "coddling the enemy?" Show us some reliable evidence to back up your ugly allegation.

And you didn't answer the question. The only surrendering going on here is the surrender that numerous rightwingers have done in giving up their logic in return for emotional xenophobic outbursts. Bring some proof, if you can.

Yeah Syria. She violated the Constitution going to Syria. i keep hearing that claim but no one has shown how. And ESPECIALLY since some republicans did the same damned thing.
