The Anti-Pelosi Boomlet

if Democrats retain the majority, Nancy Pelosi will expect support from every member, and she will get support from almost every member..

It's become the new way of spotting which House Democrats are in deep political trouble. A dozen Democratic incumbents -- about one in 20 of those seeking reelection -- so far have publicly distanced themselves from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Significantly, half aren't from southern districts where the San Francisco Democrat has traditionally been a hard sell.

The latest defector is Rep. Jason Altmire, who represents the Pittsburgh suburbs in Pennsylvania. While he won't rule out voting for Ms. Pelosi, he says he hopes "she is not a candidate for Speaker." Ms Pelosi has been too partisan, Rep. Altmire says: "I don't think the issues that she's pursued are good for the district I represent."

Another skeptic is Rep. Michael McMahon of New York, who represents Staten Island and part of Brooklyn. This week, he announced he "would not guarantee" he wouldn't vote for Ms. Pelosi, but assured his voters he will decide "based on what is right for my district."

Does anyone actually think that Pelosi won’t be speaker if the Dems win?

The fools that vote for Democrats are voting for Pelosi and Obama, no matter WHAT they say!

I doubt that she will, but this is the time for Republicans to challenge Pelosi’s handling of the certification of Obama. This is a perfect way to bring up the eligibility issue and not attack Obama directly. Only one state, Hawaii, correctly certified Obama as being eligible for the office.

An investigation of this nature would put an unpopular, hopefully former, speaker of the house on the defensive. It is clear that she didn't correctly certify Obama, the question is why?

What better way to undo the agenda than by determining Obama not properly certified by the states to hold office, thereby unravelling Obama’s entire presidency?

Investigate, indict, prosecute, off to jail with you Pelosi.

Despite what is written or said about her, if health care is not 100% overturned immediately by the next Congress,or at a minimum de funded, that b!tch will be considered a success.

There can be no compromise, no discussion, these people are not being sent to slow it down, but to roll it back, and stop the spending and pay the bills.
Our future generations are counting on it
