Ok- explain to me how in the world this guy- with a conservative -for a DEMOCRAT- voting record (I know- not on all issues) would be a favorite with Pelosi?
Too weird.
She can control him..
Very strange ... and totally out of the blue. The only thing I can think of is Edwards’ devotion to Pelosi.
How’s waterworld today ? Hope things have settled down.

Gosh people are gullible. There is nothing weird about this. Chet Edwards is a Nancy Boy. He is a pawn of Pelosi. He votes to do her bidding and survive in office. Pelosi even gave him direct funding support. His voting record is way too liberal compared to his district. That is why Pelosi loves him. They know that they could never get anyone as useful to them as Chet Edwards out of a conservative district like TX-17. That’s why Pelosi loves and recommends him. If Edwards can fool his district, then Obama can fool America.
Edwards survives in office by raking in big bucks from liberal special interests and using that money to flood the district to lie to his voters about who he is. He has survived a close election in 2004 when Republicans challenged him and now will outspend his rivals about 30 to 1 to stay in office. He buys off local Republican officials with gobs of earmarks and pork. Yet he is a tax-and-spend pro-abort anti-gun partisan liberal Democrat, and a close look at his voting record is revealing.

“Congressman Edwards is not only the King of Earmarks but he is the only Southern Baptist from Texas in the US Congress to receive a perfect score from the NARAL Pro-Choice America for supporting abortion in every way, shape and form.”
A clear case on an entrenched DC incumbent doing the opposite of what his district wants and using his incumbency to stay in power.
