“I’m not particularly concerned if I’m liked.”

Obviously.

Quote: “Pelosi is insulated from the negative effects of low national poll numbers because she answers only to two micro-constituencies — her mostly affluent, overwhelmingly liberal Bay Area district and a 262-member Democratic caucus that respects, fears, follows and largely likes the 69-year-old workaholic.”

WOW there is a special place in hell just waiting for her. The audacity to boldly state she has no concern about all the Americans outside her district she affects is equal to spitting on us all. All she has to do is sucker some voters from Sodom and Gomorrah to get the job. Beyond that she doesn’t give a damn.

It’s disgusting to think she wakes up every day relishing the fact that amongst her peers she is “feared” and that it’s likely she gets off on that fear. All over a position of service that some how has turned into a position of POWER.

I hope I live long enough to hear she has died so I can dance in the streets. In many cases when a person says that the other feels offended. By her own words she wouldn’t care so I feel pretty good about all of that. She’s a vicious hag. The High Priestess to Satan.

Perhaps she’ll care when the huddled masses are approaching the Capitol building with plenty of rope and tar, and she’s on the top of the list.

She is so typical of a liberal elitist. She doesn’t care what the “little people” think. She and her elites are putting themselves in charge because they believe that we are incapable of making the “right” decisions in every aspect of our lives. Obama’s “...bitter people clinging to their guns and religion...” is the same idea.

This was inevitable when she got elected. The beauty of our Republic is that each area is allowed to vote for someone they believe represents their values, their morals, and their economic principles.

I hate what Nancy Pelosi stands for and I despise the way she operates. But her job is to care about one thing and one thing only: What her constituents want. Even in her role as the Speaker of the House, her concern should not be national polls or what anyone else thinks. She represents one of the most liberal (crazy - CRAZY liberal) districts in the entire United States of America. And as much as I dislike it, she is accountable to them and them only.

For example: If my representative were to become speaker, and he voted for things that we in the district were against, I'd be ticked because we elected him to represent us and our values. I wouldn't buy a "I was concerned with the national polls" argument and would work to throw him out of office. Why should he give a d*mn what the folks in California or New York want? He should care only about what we, who elected him, want.

As disgusting as it is, she is a "success" if her approval rating is 70% + in her district, even if it is 10% across the nation. That's the nature of a Republic. That's what makes the American model of self-government so awesome.

Now, our job as conservatives is to get her removed from power so she has no national approval rating - just her local one - and replace her with a speaker that is going to work to stop us printing trillions of dollars in debt.
