SO it comes down to whether Lefty Pelosi can successfully keep paying her vig? The Dems are a dysfunctional organized crime family.

[Prost1]

It is always 'follow the money'...

Hillary may not run because of her negatives, but she raises lots of money, disperses lots of money to fellow congressional candidates, thus earning lots of IOUs.

These IOUs become important when she decides to become Senate Majority Leader. She knows the legend of Senator Russell and Senator Lyndon B. Johnson. She can control legislation, judges, cabinet appointments, ambassadors...

That's why I think she will stay in the Senate.

Lucretia Borgia works for me, as well.

Wasn't that family famous for poisoning the opposition?

[Theo]

Nah, leave her there. It's fun to watch. If we lost the election, we might as well enjoy their ineptitude.

[Socratic]

Yep

[RedRover]

Exactly. Murtha is down but not out. And we have to keep up the pressure and kick him as hard as possible while he's down. Among other things, we're setting up a central location for info on Murtha here. Hopefully, it'll grow into something useful to the cause.

[Eva]

Not so fast. I like Pelosi as head of the Democrat Party, it highlights all the idiocy and corruption that defines the Democrats. And besides, I'd like to see a real knock down, drag out fight between far left faction and the newbies. It would be fun to watch.

[RedRover]

Emmanuel strongarming Murtha into retirement is our best hope. To help make that happen, it's important that we keep the spotlight on Murtha and not let him scurry back to the shadows.

Now go after Hastings.

[RedRover]

I don't think Hastings has a chance. Still, it may not be a bad idea to get a file going on him.

It's amazing how she's not getting any honeymoon.

You know what happens on a honeymoon. Its happening to her..you bet!

[bonfire]

LOL!

[NickatNite2003]

That's because Victoria/Victor Pelosi
is allready trying to "limbo" her
corrupt crony yesmen and flunkies
imto all the key house chairmanships
under that "high bar for ethics" before
she'd evewn been sworn in.

[NickatNite2003]

...And your little *dog* too!

[NickatNite2003]

We don't have to "go after" That
Pelosi flunkie Hastings..his
documented past takes care
of that. Just make sure everyone
knows it, then sit back and laugh
as the Dims justify his flunkie
appointment.
