While pointing out that it is the responsibility of the federal government to secure the U.S.-Mexico border, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) said Thursday it is cheaper to treat teens for drug use than it is to interdict drugs being smuggled across the border.
CNSNews.com pointed out to the speaker at her weekly press briefing that a recent Justice Department report indicated that one in five U.S. teenagers used drugs last year, and then asked: “Are you committed to sealing the border against the influx of illegal drugs from Mexico and, if so, do you have a target date in mind for getting that done?”
“Well if your question is about drugs, I’m for reducing demand in the United States,” said Pelosi.
“That is what our responsibility is on this subject. The RAND Corporation a few years ago did a report that said it would be much less expensive for us to, through prevention first and foremost, but through treatment on demand to reduce demand in our country, is the cheapest way to solve this problem.

This just goes to prove that this woman is delusional, crazy and unfit to be running a snowball stand, let alone third in command of our once-great country. How in the hell do these people get and hold public office? How can you be more incompetent and derelict of duty than this woman? Unfreaking believable!

I agree with your assessment of Pelosi.
To answer your question, she gets elected because those that vote for her are incompetent derelict sorry ass people.
After all isn't Pelosi from the heart of queer country?
One way to stop these fools that set US policy from their districts in queerville woulod be to do like ACORN did in 2008. Rent a few apartments in Pelosi's district and register hundreds of people with the address. Then we can vote the bitch out!
Pelosi and Nancy Reagan are both delusional: "Just say 'No'"
We are dealing with humans here, it will never work.
