The Party of Pelosi: Why Nancy P. is good for the GOP.

National Review Online ^ | November 8, 2002 | John J. Miller

Pelosi is both more leftist, and better looking, than Gephardt.

A winning combination, in my book.

[goldstategop]

Nancy Pelosi makes Martin Frost and Harold Ford look like moderate Republicans. If she does win the job there'll be a lot fewer Democrats around in the House now and in November 2004. She is the Democrats' perfect anti-foil to President Bush.

[plain talk]

All good points from a political standpoint. However, I'm concerned about dem triangulation. Gore trying to look reasonable next to Pelosi and using Pelosi to just muck up the works even worse than it is now. At least Gephardt came aboard in Iraq finally - granted probably for his own political ambitions - but he did come grudgingly aboard. Also - personally I just cringe at the thought of a SF liberal on the talk shows etc pushing the debate far left to make other dems look more centrist. We need to push the debate further to the right.

[goldstategop]

Nah. Its not San Franciso where Pelosi's message hurts the Democrats. Its in the battleground Red Zone states. What with her ultra-left views, someone like Dick Gephardt will be lucky to carry just ONE of them in 2004, if in fact he should be the Democrats' presidential nominee.

[DB]

And just think of all the men that will be turned off as she whines endless in a shrill voice...

[KellyAdmirer]

Pelosi is the best thing that could happen to Republicans since Bill and Hillary Clinton. Moderates in their party must be just shaking their heads. For every victory under her divisive style, they will have ten defeats.

[goldstategop]

Almost all the white male voters can't stand the harridan. Can't speak for males of color though.

[bigjoesaddle]

Sooooo....while we are at war, and U.S.millitary men are putting their lives on the line, she will be continuouosly bitching about the war, and basicly acting like 9/11 never happened.

It would be like a 2 year Welstone Memorial/Rally, TRUE Liberalism on parade, day after day.

Sweeeet!!!!

[goldstategop]

She'll get a lot of liberals elected. The good news is the Democrats representation in the House will be under 200 seats and falling, with a majority decades away in the future.

[goldstategop]

Yeah Bezerkeley Taliban liberalism unfiltered from the Bay Area 24/7 365 days a year on television and radio. Just wait til the moderate and swing voters hear her rhetoric.

[meandog]

Yep, do the math...Nasty Nancy checks in with a 100 percent ADA liberal rating; Frost barely managed 80; while Ford, the real moderate, got only a 60 percent rating.

[LurkedLongEnough]

Go NANCY!

[Man of the Right]

Pelosi will hurt the party. That is good.

[GoMonster]

i hope Pelosi doesn't win. she will put the GOP majority in jeopardy. Please don't elect her, she will finally bring the base of Democrats back home. : ) Shhhhhh!

[VOA]

bump

[Illbay]

LOL!

Do you really think Dims are stupid enough to fall for that trick?

Yeah, me too!

Not by much. On either count.

Thank goodness the two parties have traded places, and now the Dems are the stupid ones. Ultraleftists like Pelosi, Ford, and even Frost, will drive more voters into the GOP camp. Go ahead, vote those ultraleftists in. The plastic Gephardt is boring, compared to these Hilliary-style leftists ready to take his place. Maybe Daschle will stay, and complete the replusive crew the Dems are going to front to the American people. Sounds nice.....
