The Republican Party is spiraling out of control. This country needs serious debate about many issues. Instead, all the opposition party seems to offer are personal attacks. The latest is the gender attack on Nancy Pelosi. For all my Republican friends out there, before you judge whether or not she has done something wrong, first look at how the RNC has chosen to depict her in this video. (I also wonder if they paid Monty Norman royalty fees for the music.) Also, read this story and tell me where all the stand-up Republican Senators and Congressmen are defending her, not as the Speaker, but as a citizen, against the gender biased and insulting attacks from radio jocks. And if this is a strategy, 

On CNN’s “State of the Union,” Republican strategist Alex Castellanos said, “I think if Speaker Pelosi were still capable of human facial expression, we’d see she’d be embarrassed.”,

 it is clear that the strategy is not to debate issues but to slander. Slander doesn't create policies for health care, fixing a financial crisis or providing energy solutions. If this is what our national debate has turned into we are in real trouble. Remember the cry for "family values"? I guess in light of this recent turrets like outburst from Republican strategists, and mouthpieces, it was all a cover for "woman should stay at home and let the men handle the work".  As a member of any organization that used these tactics against an opposing view, I  would want to distance myself from those culpable, and also defend my opponent in the face of what is just. I am waiting for someone to step forward.
