A lot of times in recent weeks I have heard republican die-hards pull the "POTUS hillary" strategy out to use for the November congressional elections. That's the strategy that goes, If you don't vote for the republican, no matter WHO the republican is, and how much he opposes your view, you'll end up with President hillary. . In November of course there will be no POTUS on any ballot, so they use the same strategy and say, IYDVFTR,NM WHO TRI, AHMHOYV, YOU'LL END UP WITH Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. That IS a daunting thought -- a lot like looking at a photo of Nancy Pelosi's botox eyes, and reconstructed face is daunting. .
But every time I heard that phrase i thought -- Speaker of The House Dennis Hastert! That phrase is supposed to strike fear into the hearts of democrats?
Well clearly not. I almost wonder if Hastert is not a greater danger to the conservative cause than Pelosi. Better an enemy you see, even if it IS one that is startling to look at, than one you don't.

Hastert has spent most of leadership career absent. (IMO)
If, God forbid, Pelosi ever became Speaker then I think she'd go down in history as one of the weakest and most ineffective Speakers ever. I just don't see where she commands the respect or obedience of the Democrat rank-and-file.
Golly gee whiz, your virtuoso of logic has convinced me.....
glad to hear it.
Maybe you haven't heard Hastert's latest comments about the FBI raid on Congressman William Jefferson's office. Outrageous!
Pelosi is an unhinged freak. I don't make a habit of commenting on people's appearance, (especially when their behavior provides such a target-rich environment) but dang, that woman is lifted so tight she probably sleeps with her eyes open. Psychologically it says she cannot deal with reality, she has to create an artificial reality that suits her perceptions.
A typical Democrat personification.
And yet, she seems to have better control of her fellow Dims than Hastert or Frist seem to have of the Reps.
Scary either way.
Because the Dhims have become Borg.
We're supposed to choke not only at "Speaker Pelosi" but also at "Bush impeachment." But what do conservatives owe Bush? Thanks for signing CFR? His support for non-activist lower court nominees? Harriet Meyers until he was bludgeoned into doing the right thing? Immigration reform leadership?
I say let the Dems have the House, they can't do all that much harm with it and maybe losing it will get the GOP's attention. And if the Dems want to make Cheney/Rice President and VP, why not?
So you are in favor of the what you see?..... Interesting
Lately I can't believe she could be much worse than Hastert.
When all you have to do is obstruct then it's easy to make it look like everyone is under control. As Gingrich found out it's easier to toss bombs than to govern. I don't think she has what it takes to do that.
It is something the SCOTUS will have to address. The Judicial Branch policing the Legislative Branch by order of the Executive Branch.
You are about a lake short!
