Lets compare her to Minority Leader Boehner who has campaigned for Mr. Gibson and is slated to become the Speaker of the House, if Mr. Gibson wins and the GOP take it over:
Minority Leader, John Boehner
"HELL NO WE WON'T"
and doesn't support:
Social Security, as we know it
He wants to "reform" Social Security
HELL NO WE WON'T
and he doesn't
Support Health and Insurance Reform
He led House voting against reform which:
- Stops Ins. Cos using pre-existing conditions even against children
- Stops Ins.Cos dropping young adults from parents health ins. policies
- Increased Medicare Spending from 529 Billion to 929 billion.
- Eliminating the "donut hole" in Medicare D and saved Seniors $ thousands.
- Limits the growth in medical & insurance costs, so much so that the non-partisan
- The BiPartisan Cogressional Budget Office found that it leads to deficit and debt reduction.
HELL NO WE WON"T

The Education Jobs and Medicaid Assistance Act>
He lead his minority to oppose

Speaker Nancy Pelosi
YES WE CAN(and did)
This is the Congresswoman and grandmother signing an education bill which became law that:
- saved or created 319,000 jobs, including 161,000 teacher jobs,
- closed tax loopholes that encouraged corporations to ship American jobs overseas and reduces the deficit.
-The bill includes $10 billion in funding to save teacher jobs;
-and $16.1 billion in health assistance to the states that, by reducing shortfalls, will help keep many others on the job, including police officers and firefighters.
Mr. Gibson, on the other hand has been the recepient of Mr. Boehner's fund raising and has accepted advertising from a Corporate front group named 60 Plus Association. That organization has been funded by the World's Largest Pharmaceutical Corporations
She had been selected by a very diverse group of Representatives, comprised mostly of men. She has been a leading representative in the House of Representatives for many years and so was and is known for her smarts, diplomacy and knowledge. The allegation is that Congressman Scott Murphy follows her leadership. Thank goodness he mostly has. As an independent thinking man, he has not always agreed and has insisted upon matters important to the District. Remember, he voted no on Health and Insurance Reform until his ideas were included.

Conclusion:
Mr. Murphy working with YES WE CAN Speaker Pelosi is a better choice than Mr. Gibson working with HELL NO WE WON'T Mr. Boehner.
