Democrats are attempting to obfuscate their voting records.
It's one of the most misleading types of campaign ads -- a challenger accuses the local Congressman of voting "with" unpopular Speaker Nancy Pelosi an overwhelming percentage of the time. In reality, most votes are mundane, uncontroversial matters of moving House business along. Then again, what really matters in such political ads is the symbolic rejection of the party leader being named.
Ms. Pelosi is now coming in for exactly such treatment by fellow Democrats attempting to save their skins. Alabama Rep. Bobby Bright says he will refuse to vote for Ms. Pelosi as Speaker, and is running a TV ad that claims he voted "80% with the Republican leader," who happens to be Ohio's John Boehner. Rep. Jim Marshall of Georgia, who also says he won't vote for Ms. Pelosi as House Speaker, is running his own ad claiming he voted 65% of the time "with Republican leaders."

LOL! I love that Pelosi picture!
I have a feeling that after this mid term, heads will roll in the democrat - NOT democratic - party.
I wonder if pelosi will be pragmatic after she becomes a minority player again.
That face is Socialism personified.
It's scary, whatever it is.
