Pelosi has rebel Democrats on their heels
Washington Examiner ^ | 11/27/18

Posted on 11/27/2018 5:45:17 AM PST by Liberty7732

Insurgent Democrats are struggling to keep their campaign to oust Nancy Pelosi afloat.

Those opposing Pelosi’s bid to become House speaker again put themselves back in the spotlight Monday, by adding new lawmakers to their ranks. But Pelosi continues to outmaneuver her critics — she's peeled off two defectors over the last several days, and has weakened the already volatile campaign to deny her the speaker’s gavel in January.

Pelosi has more than a month to squash the uprising by rebel Democrats and the momentum is on her side. In a sign that defectors might be softening, Massachusetts Democrat Seth Moulton signaled Monday that he wants to sit down with Pelosi to discuss a possible deal.

I for one don’t like the New Democrat’s better than the Old Democrats. The Old Democrat’s just try to act like New Democrats so they can hold on to power. Nancy loosing the House Speakership is no better than her winning.

Amazing power has the woman who boinks a rich guy to buy her political position.

While she lives in a sh*thole and is surrounded by drug needles, excrement, and Google employees.

A rat is a rat. A rat is never a mouse.

It’s funny. Voters believed the upstarts knowing that they were lying.

I still maintain that Pelosi is blackmailing old Democrats, while still gathering information on the young Dems who are fighting her. The research is funded by her wealthy husband, who benefits directly from her position (like her fight to exempt American Samoa from minimum wage laws...where her husband just happens to own a tuna packing plant).

This is precisely why it is foolish to vote for ANY Democrat: they are ALWAYS strong-armed into voting in lock-step with the Commie party line.

I agree. The silence from the Pubbies about this is deafening.

“....(like her fight to exempt American Samoa from minimum wage laws...where her husband just happens to own a tuna packing plant).....”

Exactly. They are corrupt to the core. In essence, they’re basically Samoan slave owners getting filthy rich off the backs of their slaves. Yet, blacks continue to support that kind of RAT party crap. Both of em should have been in a prison cell a loooonnnggg time ago.

The GOPe are thrilled to have her back.
The rest of us want her ugly botoxed face as the face of the RATs for at least the next 2 years. Like all libs, she’s bat shite crazy and this should be a great show. People that vote RAT are either deluded and/or insane. They’re communist/globalists....fake Americans.

A majority of those voters were women.

What's the lyrics to that old song:

Tell me lies, tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies...

I suspect none of these people have any real power - they are just figureheads for the moneyed interests who do. If word comes down to support Figurehead Pelosi, then all the little minor figureheads whose seats were bought and paid for by the same interests will quickly fall into line. We see the same thing on the GOP side.

We can use her speakership as something to beat the "moderate" Democrats, who swore they would not vote for her, with...

It’s hard to show the new face of the Party when all we see is the old face.
