I feel about this the way I felt about Alan Grayson’s defeat. On the one hand: Oh yes. On the other hand: Don’t you want her to be there when ObamaCare gets repealed?
Personally, I blame Obama’s aloofness.
Alexandra Pelosi, daughter of House Minority Leader and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, told Big Government this week that her mother wants to leave Congress–and that she remains in Washington only at the behest of her campaign donors.
During a telephone interview, Ms. Pelosi–speaking from a friend’s home in New York City–described her mother’s predicament:
She would retire right now, if the donors she has didn’t want her to stay so badly. They know she wants to leave, though. They think she’s destined for the wilderness. She has very few days left. She’s 71, she wants to have a life, she’s done. It’s obligation, that’s all I’m saying.
Pelosi’s spokesman denies it, calling it “wishful thinking on the part of a right-wing blog” even though the story’s based on a quote from, er, her own daughter. As for the substance of that quote, I’m not sure how to take it. Presumably it means Pelosi’s running for re-election … even though her own donors think it’s unlikely she’ll be Speaker again. Which means what? That she’ll serve out one more two-year term as minority leader and then quit? Or that she’ll run this year, get re-elected, and then resign if the Democrats aren’t back in the majority? Or that she’ll decide to retire a few months from now once she has a better sense of how the next Congress will shake out? Eight veteran Dems have already thrown in the towel, you know, so I can’t believe Pelosi’s still holding out hope of getting the gavel back.
Karl Rove predicted this morning that either she or Reid or both would quit the leadership in 2012. Does he know something? Exit question: Who’s Nancy going to get her stock tips from now?
Donors are more important than her daughter!!!!
Pelosi - just another welfare mother.
She might want out, but how many congressional charges might she be facing the day she does quit?
We’d be more than happy to help the old battleaxe out.
Donors are more important than her daughter!!!! /
Partly. They are more important than her CONSTITUENTS.
Once the mob owns you, you can’t just quit on them.
First time I can say I agree with Nancy...I want her out too.
Remember Pelosi threatening awhile back to release dirt on Obaama, then she backpedaled?
Conclusion:
Though they deny it, they're feeling the Tea Party heat.
Put a little more lawful social pressure on them, and two things will happen:
1) Obaama, being a fundamentally weak human being, will crack politically, and make the long-awaited Communist power grab too soon, costing the left EVERYTHING.
2) Shortly before, during, and after said power grab, the leftist coalition will implode and the splinter groups will become cannibalistic. Further helping to cost the left EVERYTHING.
Bring it on!
Cheers!
Not sure it’s the mob , but her donors have paid for her and they want their due before she leaves. They have a lot of money invested and expect a good return.
Barbara Streisand.
Nancy P wants to be speaker again and this is a ploy just like when the Wookie tells how hard her husband works and how much he cares about us.
“My Mommy is certifiably insane and should be committed to a mental institution. Anyone who says we need to pass the gargantuan Obamacare bill so we can see what’s in it can’t have a functioning brain.”
So she is only staying because the “Special Interests” want her to. Now we know.
The whole donors wanting her to stay is garbage. Her daughter is trying to make her sound important. The truth is that a piece of furniture could be elected in her district as long as there is a (D) next to the name. If she ever had run for Senate, she wins some blue states, but not many.
Her prominence can be attributed to her personal wealth and connections along with a moonbat (and quite wealthy) district where she runs unopposed.
Just think about this: If she ever had to campaign and run in a swing district, she would have gotten flushed down the toilet (ala Alan Grayson) a long time ago.
Qadafi dead, Kim Jong Il dead, Pelosi leaves, .....Trifecta!!!
She’s staying and wants that gavel back.
“Pelosi’s daughter: My mom wants out”
That makes two of us
Give her a broom stick and let her ride to hell, for what she has done to this country.
Of what? The nut house? Oh no, she don’t get out until she stops screaming “The squirrels are eating my brain!!!! The squirrels are eating my brain!!!” She might get to visit a dairy or something, but no letting her out ‘til she’s sane.
Hey, if it was possible I would spray the lot of the Piglouses to rid the nation of these ectoparasites.
