Do you think for one second those featherheads in Bella Pelosi's district even have a sense of what the world is all about? She could proclaim allegiance to UBL and be re-elected in a landslide. The crux of the issue is what happened to the DNA of folks out there? Where was the genetic mutation started and why?
Pelosi doesn't need to cater to her constituents. As you said, she could do anything and still be re-elected.
As a leader of her party she needs to be worried about separating herself and her party from the minority vote on yet another issue (property owner's rights).
