House Republicans have surprising new company in attacking Nancy Pelosi: her fellow House Democrats.

Three Democrats running in GOP-leaning House districts have used late-stage television ads in a bid to distance themselves from the liberal leader of Democrats' House caucus—the same caucus they're fighting to join in 2015.

"Here's what I believe: Congress is broken," says Gwen Graham, one of the Democratic Party's top recruits, in a recent TV ad as a photo of Pelosi and House Speaker John Boehner flashes on the screen. "Both parties—Republican and Democrat—are to blame. And both need new leaders in Washington."

In Georgia, Rep. John Barrow, one of five Democrats to vote against Pelosi as party leader at the start of the 113th Congress in 2013, uses that fact as one of the key reasons to reelect him. "I voted against Nancy Pelosi as speaker," Barrow brags to Georgians in a recent television ad.

They vote with her 100% of the time.

Then the election comes around and they distance themselves.

They do that because their idiot voters keep supporting them.

Lets see if it ALSO works...

“They vote Jonbon/Mitch 100% of the time.

Then the election comes around and they distance themselves.

They do that because their idiot voters keep supporting them.

Yup.

Yes, the new Rat mantra. They have NOTHING to run on that would interest REAL Americans. So they must attack someone, and now it is felt that attacking your own anti-American Rats is going to get you re-elected. Desperation at its peak.

I believe the Dim "Crown Prince" is that SOB Steny Hoyer. Not as batty as Pelosi, but every bit a evil.

Question for Gwen Graham: You say that both parties are at fault and leadership needs to be changed. So...If the incumbent in the seat you’re running for had been a RAT, would you have run against him in the primary?

I am form Colorado and do not like what the democrats or republicans are doing. Bloomberg and Soros flood the rats with money and Chris Christy stabbed Tom Tancredo in the back with some lying adds in the primary. Who can you trust. I hate voting for the same old stuff but the good guys in the other parties do not have a chance. Are they going to make me hold my nose and vote for crooks to beat the democrats? What a mess.
