Republicans plot to bring down Pelosi ... and Clinton with her

Ohhhhhhhhh, Noooo, not another VRWC theory. Republicans don't have to plot against Planless Pelosi, Pelosi is not even in the mainstream with her own Party.

Best news I have heard since the election. Now if they follow through. Going to be tough with the MSM being Democratic.

[LiveFree99]

Senior party operatives told The Sunday Telegraph that they are already co-ordinating plans to attack Nancy Pelosi, the liberal Californian congresswoman

If true, this is encouraging.

I'm not sure if voters will tend to link Nancy with the Beast. If Nancy starts to go down, Shrillary will cut her loose without a second though.

"Tony Coehlo, a former Democrat whip in the House who ran Vice President Al Gore's 2000 presidential campaign, acknowledged his party concerns."


Ol' Tony was also the "braintrust" behind the Democrat's efforts in the 1994 midterm elections.

Yeah, that's the kind of guy I'd want advice from. /sarc

She isn't even in the slipstream of the downstream. She's so far left, when she sneezes, it comes out in chinese.

The Republican strategy is not only to undermine Mrs Pelosi's control of the House but also to associate her in voters' minds with Senator Hillary Clinton, the frontrunner for the 2008 Democrat presidential nomination.

All that has to be done is give Ms Pelousy and Ms Clinton plenty of rope.... They will hang themselves.....

[technomage]

even though she will not be running.

Well, the Dims did pretty well in this last election running against President Bush.

I say go after Bela Pelosi with full force.

"Senior party operatives told The Sunday Telegraph that they are already co-ordinating plans to attack Nancy Pelosi, the liberal Californian congresswoman and Speaker-in-waiting who suffered a damaging rebuff from her own party caucus last week."

They ought to go after Harry Reid, whose business ventures leave him far more open to such a thing.

"Nancy Pelosi ranks second-in- line to the presidency after Dick Cheney."

That's scary. At least we have a plan, so they say.

[labette]

"...Senior party operatives told The Sunday Telegraph..."

Yeah, right.

[zbigreddogz]

Cool!

Why do they seem to insinuate this is a bad thing?

[steveo]

Palomino!

[The South Texan]

Right. After this election cycle and the lack of a coherent PR effort from both the White House, the RNC, and the Congress, I am not sure these "Republican Leaders" could organize a BBQ much less an effort to fight Pelosi and Clinton. They proved it to me by re-electing Lott, Boehner, and Blunt to leadership posts in congress.

[Socratic]

Does she have two sets of eyebrows, or does she mascara her eye sockets?

[ExTexasRedhead]

All I can say, is it's our turn now. The Liberals did nothing for six years but obstruct, obstruct, investigate, investigate, insinuate insinuate. Time to use their tactics against them. Pelosi and the rest of the Liberals need to be exposed. The culture of corruption was born of the Liberal Democrat party.

[Salvation]

Let's roll!

[Pukin Dog]

Another totally made-up news story. Notice how you never see the word 'Republican' next to the word 'operative'. A single out of context quote by Tom Delay, and BINGO, the Drive-by media has another bull$hit story for our consumption. Pay no attention to this garbage.

[Salvation]

**I say go after Bela Pelosi with full force.**

It's Pelosi's fault!

[Founding Father]

So the Stupid Party is going to do something smart? In other news the Detroit Lions win this years Super Bowl.
