It seems we may have Comrade President from the People's Republic of Kalifornia. Long-live Pelosi?

Is Nancy really the best the Democrats have to offer?

Of course.  If I've learned anything from life it's that stupidity never engenders the loyalty of the intelligent.

 

[Enterprise]

I certainly wish the RATS a terrible political future. If Bush can hold on to his popularity and positive image, then in 2004 the best the RATS will be able to offer is another wheezer geezer as a sacrificial goat - er - RAT.

There are few things more distasteful to hear than Pelosi on Ronn Owens' talk show.

He places his nose squarely up her wrinkled butt.

Yuck.

The Democrats are going to be hard-put to oppose the political popularity and accomplishment of George W. Bush. One speculates about who will carry the banner for the Democrats in 2004. Will it be Al Sharpton? Or Jesse ''Hi-Jack'' Jackson?

Remember when W. won re-election as governor of Texas with 70% of the vote?

Here she is, folks....the Belligerent Botox Babe from the Bay:

[RightOnTheLeftCoast]

Shhh! When the opposition is in the middle of making a mistake, LET THEM!

[Rodm]

With Pelosi at the helm the Dems will have around 35 house members in 2004.

Gotta love it...the Dems are offering the Kool-aid that has destroyed their once-impressive base among conservatives (in the south) and moderates in other parts of the country. Instead, the Rats have become the party of narrow, special interests, except that they never get around to satisfying those groups. Now, the downward spiral is accelerating. The Democrat's cabana boys (and girls) in the press don't want to admit it, but their party is virtually finished in the South. They have no appeal outside urban areas, and depend solely on a large African-American turnout to put them over the hump on election day.

I still have a copy of the famous "Bush Country" map from the 2000 election. The Dems are still somewhat competitive by winning California, New York, much of the northeast, and picking up votes in the Midwest. But if the economy improves--as it certainly will--a lot of those Democratic margins are in jeopardy, because a lot of swing voters will go Republican.

And the Democratic response to all of this? Hand the party over to an even bigger lib than Puff Daschle and Little Dick Gephardt. Even more amazing is their inclination to exclude Harold Ford, Jr., from any meaningful leadership role. Ford is certainly a liberal, but he's bright, articulate and comes across well on TV--far better than Pelosi. If Ford gets treated shabbily in the leadership contest, you'll see some of his colleagues in the Black Caucus doing very little to "get out the vote" in 2004.

You can find another Pelosi thread I started Here.

To summarize:

Her family (father and brother) was deeply connected to the Mafia in Baltimore (while she currently serves on a subcomittee on organized crime!) and she trys to hide it by not using her maiden name.

She supports the wacko sexual liberation agenda of the Gay Area which she represents.

...and other tidbits on Comrade Pelosi..

[Republic of Texas]

If Cynthia McKinney or Barbara Lee won't do it, I guess Pelosi will do. BTW, I live in Dallas, and I find it amusing that the national press thinks Martin Frost is a "moderate". That says more about the press than they even know.

Let the soccer moms digest that for a moment!

Isn't Bush friends with her daughter?

[Texas Eagle]

I think there is a 200 way tie.

[Temple Owl]

Is Nancy really the best the Democrats have to offer?

Good question! Let me see. We have an oversexed drunk from Massachusetts in the Senate. He is much respected by the left-wing liberal Democrats. There is a woman--well we think she's a woman--from New York--Think about it. Let's give the matter some thought. Instead of Nancy let's change the name to Bela--Bela Pelosi.

[ExSoldier]

I would certainly tend to agree with you. But I also remember BUSH #41 after the FIRST Gulf War and it looked like the dems were surrendering just like the Iraqis surrendered to CNN! But who won the election of 1992?

All I'm saying is that it's great that we won as big as we did, but we didn't win as big as we needed and it would be foolish to underestimate the opposition. Especially when they are desperate, like NOW.

[sunshine state]

I read an interview of Pelosi in 'Working Mother' magazine and she did come across as a not-too-bright liberal. No matter what the subject was, the answer was always 'more government funding'. She wants universal daycare and universal health insurance, too, with the govt picking up the tab.

Lucky for us, she's the best the Democrats have right now.

[lawdog]

Shhh ! Go Nancy go !

[Doctor Stochastic]

Be careful what you wish for; you might get it.
