Nancy Pelosi's Republican challengers score nationwide backing
Los Angeles Times ^ | 5-8-10 | Mark Z. Barabak

Reporting from San Francisco
Dana Walsh boasts of a donor list most congressional candidates can only envy: 33,000 people in 50 states.

It's not that Walsh enjoyed much success the last time she ran; a Republican in this overwhelmingly Democratic city, she placed third in 2008, with less than 10% of the vote.

What attracts the money and support — more than $1.4 million so far — is Walsh's target: Nancy Pelosi, the House speaker and an arch-villain to conservatives like Karl Schlueter.

"Nancy's got to go," said the 65-year-old retiree, who lives in the Milwaukee suburbs and last month sent Walsh a $200 check. "She's far too liberal."

Pelosi is no easy target, even in this surly anti-incumbent environment. In the history of the country, only two House speakers have been deposed by voters back home, and Pelosi is unlikely to become the third...

There is damn little chance Pelosi gets kicked out of that District full of freaks she represents, but it is a fine sentiment.

The way to get her out of office:
1) elect a Republican majority to Congress asap
2) investigate her multiple abuses of power, including treason, violating laws of Congress and more
3)charge her
4)convict her and put her in jail for the rest of her life

Do not make the mistake Bush did of ignoring the lawbreaking of his predecessors in the hope that it would let us move on. Clinton and company got away with murder, and the abuses we are seeing to day are part of the consequences.

Listen everyone: There is NO CHANCE that Nancy Pelosi will be voted out in her own district! It makes me upset that so many conservatives around the country are so riled up against Pelosi that they waste their money donating to hopeless Republicans candidates in San Francisco. The real way to get rid of Nancy Pelosi is to make sure the Republicans get a majority in the House so that she will lose her speakership. Pelosi will then be powerless.

Please consider donating to Republican challengers in these races:

or contribute to candidates endorsed by the Club for Growth:

Believe me it is MUCH more likely that the GOP will gain 100 seats in the House than that voters in San Francisco will throw out Pelosi.

Don’t forget about the fraud of signing off on Ø’s vetting forms. There were two of them, one of which was alterred. She signed both of them. She committed the first case of voter fraud in the 2008 election. There were many, many more.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. SHE CAN CLOSE HER EYES. And all this time I thought the Botox made her wild looking eyes permanently wide open.
