Pelosi The Mistrusted
IBD Editorials ^ | July 28, 2009 | INVESTORS BUSINESS DAILY Staff

Leadership: Speaker Nancy Pelosi claims she has no use for polls. For her, that's a good thing, because polls now show that voters despise her. But a politician who disdains public approval should be a little disturbing.


Not every House leader has been popular, but none have reached the nadir of Pelosi. Last week, a Public Strategies/Politico poll showed she is now trusted by fewer than one out of four voters. Asked for a reaction by Politico's Glenn Thrush on Monday, Pelosi laughed it off, declaring "I don't care."

A response like that can only come from someone so securely unaccountable in power that listening to voters is unnecessary. Its starting point is in Pelosi's disregard for the mainstream.

The speaker, who represents radical-left San Francisco, is a proponent of an agenda out of tune with what the average American wants. She has a gargantuan appetite for government spending plus intrusive legislation that curtails citizen freedoms.

Witness the $787 billion stimulus, that pork-and-protectionism package she pushed through. What has it done for the average American? There's also the economically ruinous cap-and-trade legislation as well as a card-check bill that ends workers' rights to secret ballot. She's halted a job-creating free trade treaty with our ally Colombia. Now she's nationalizing U.S. health care.

Poll after poll shows these overbearing plans do not appeal to voters outside some Bay Area enclaves. But Pelosi doesn't really care.

Yet she will win with 75pct of the vote if not more. Little yellow dogs like Heath should be very careful

The Republicans BETTER GET THEIR SHT TOGETHER! They have so much AMO here.

The RATs launch a coordinated campaign to ‘brand’ RUSH who’s light years more ‘popular’ than this BAG LADY, and the Republicans have a ‘gold mine’ opportunity to brand their campaign against their opponents as a “PELOSI-Democrat!!!” - they can start no sooner than YESTERDAY! and I don’t hear ANYTHING!

The little Hitler could care less what the American people think — she will keep strutting her socialism for all to see and cracking the whip in the Dem caucus to see how high they jump.

Blue Dogs voted for her as Speaker knowing how bad she was but now want to pretend to be conservative with the election approaching next year.

We need a grassroots movement started to vote every Congressman and Senator out of office that votes for Zero’s DeathCare bill. We must get pledges from the American people to vote them out of office. We must notify each member of the House and Senate that we will take this action against them. Their arrogant, in-your-face disregard for the will of the American people must be stopped. They were sent to Washington to represent their constituents not themselves. ;

How can we get this movement started NOW??? I’ve sent this suggestion to one talks how host so far.

Well, she must be very popular. My new Rep votes in agreement w/ her 95% of of the time!

Gotta hand it to the Dems, they have proposed legislation that agrees with both conservative rural Michigan as well as the San Francisco Bay area!!!

Actually, this bug-eyed crone should take care. IIRC, the last insufferable bitch in world history who had a 'let them eat cake' attitude suffered a terminal, catastrophic neuro-cranial disconnect.

She can afford not to care. She has a whole district full of "Pelosis" that will keep sending her back to Washington, no matter how much damage she causes.

Pelosi laughed it off, declaring "I don't care."

What a coincidence! That is the same attitude her constituency has.

Every dog has its day. Leftists like her can only stay around while they have protection of other leftists. She could never stand on her own. The polls show what she is worth.

We need a grassroots movement started to vote every Congressman and Senator out of office that votes for Zero’s DeathCare bill starting with Pelosi. We must get pledges from the American people to vote them out of office. We must notify each member of the House and Senate that we will take this action against them. Their arrogant, in-your-face disregard for the will of the American people must be stopped. They were sent to Washington to represent their constituents not themselves.
