"The progressives are always on the struggling end of trying to get our public policy agenda advanced in this House," said Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.).

Maxine that's because your Communist and Socialist policies stink.

And here I thought there were “none more left” than Ms. Pelosi.

'When will it be our turn?'" said liberal Rep. Raul M. Grijalva (D-Ariz.). "I just hope the pendulum starts to swing where there's more attention, consultation, respect and understanding around our issues."

Is is just me, or does this guy sound like the very epitome of a whining, liberal weenie? "We want more respect for our issues. Waaahhh, waaaah, waaaahh!"

[dalight]

Pelosi as governing in the “middle.” Whoo boy. I guess the middle they are talking about is the middle of the Democrat Caucus. Which puts them “half a bubble” off the real middle.

Pelosi and other House leaders, who have so far played down some of the liberal concerns

By "concerns" the Looney Left means the impeachment of the President above all else. And yes, they're looney enough to believe that it's actually a possibility.

I mentioned months ago that the election would be her highlight and when she had to start actually doing something for the left she was going to start liking Republicans much better. Have you noticed her office does not put out a nasty memo everyday deriding the complaint de jour?

“”People are saying, ‘When will it be our turn?’” said liberal Rep. Raul M. Grijalva”

When you join the conservative and practical adult world.

democrats have always portrayed Republicans as being in lockstep with the President could this possibly have anything to do with the fact there are not as many caucauses with their own agenda as in the Democrat party?
The Democrats I would compare to a drunken Caterpillar stumbling over its many legs.

Pelosi favoring moderates? On what issue???????

[RC2]

Come on folks. When Pelosi got elected, she thought she was the Queen of the United States and still believes that. She actually believes that everyone loves her. What she doesn’t realize is that no one else wanted her job during these times and she is the fall person for them. She’s not very bright.

This little pigressive cried whee, whee, whee all the way home.

a Progressive Caucus boasting six dozen members

Thank goodness we don't have a parliamentary system.

One book that will never get published is:

"The Management Secrets of Speaker Pelosi

[brothers4thID]

Those 43 Blue Dogs are the only reason Pelosi is in power right now and she knows it.

Did not read story; only headline; which in itself, sounds like a Pelosi manufactured script to broaden her limited base of support.

In truth, do not think Libs are worried about Pelosi turning her cheek. . .but Pelosi might be worried about her Left-wing profile; particularly post her poll numbers show many Dems not too happy with her work ethic and the rest of her cadre as well.

“People are saying, ‘When will it be our turn?’” said liberal Rep. Raul M. Grijalva (D-Ariz.).

How about the horrible, horrible 1970’s when the liberals had overwhelming majorities in both houses and could pass whatever they wanted, override vetoes, etc. Those days are thankfully gone. You’ve had your turn, congressman and the results were disastrous.

"Moderate" whats?
