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.
And in Colorado, Democratic candidate Irv Halter is trying to gain some traction in a very Republican district by lumping in his opponent, Rep. Doug Lamborn, with the Democratic leader. "Career politicians like Doug Lamborn and Nancy Pelosi have failed...

Say what you will about the Democrats (and and the gays and the pro-aborts), they know what they want and they're completely united and single-minded in what they want to do. By hook or crook, all that matters is that they win. Meanwhile, Conservatives, between eating their own and watering down their message, are sitting on their rears trusting that the political system works and that right will prevail if we just let things run their course.
Typical of Democrats. Whenever they're about to lose, they always trot out this meme about how Washington is "broken" and crap.
If the GOP wins the Senate, expect to hear more of this and Democrats talking about "healing" and "bipartisanship." They pulled this crap in 2001, with Lott's ridiculous power-sharing agreement with the Rats.
Depressing and true.
Many people here will be thrilled if Grimes beats McConnell. Idiots.
Pelosi probably told them to run ads like that.

Well, finally they are waking up. She has run on helping the poor for 34 years and during that time the poor have gotten poorer and she has gotten richer. She has been a great disappointment for the poor and minorities and a blessing to the rich 1%rs
Good one..funny
Barrow is often referred to as a “renegade” “moderate” and “willing to buck his own party to reach across the aisle.”
He voted with Nancy 90% of the time.
Let’s see, Obama and his minions have screwed this country up almost beyond redemption. Who should we trust to get America back on her feet? Democrats who’ve seen the error of their ways long enough to get through the next election? Republican - e candidates who care more about their “carriers” and who go along to get along? Certainly not those nasty tea party types who make trouble with their silly insistence on the Constitutional protections like free speech.
Funny how none of these guys mentioned a problem with Pelosi until just prior to elections.
Did those creitans vote lockstep with Pelosi? Bet so! Hope you are listing pubbies, let em have it.
Shows how far gone California is that the likes of Pelosi, Boxer and Feinstein keep getting elected.
In So Cal it’s now lefty vs. lefty - the latest is the vile Shiela Kuehl vs. Bobby Shriver. They’re trying to out lefty each other!
Exactly. They just want the votes. If they’re reelected, they’ll be right back to voting whatever way Pelosi tells them to
Forget about minority leader Nancy Pelosi. She is pure, evil Obamabot, Democrat, vermin from head to toe!!! Not worth talking about....simply a failed and worthless human being!!!
The American people, all of them better wake up....right now, and turn out on election day by the millions to politically destroy the entire “Obamabot” Democrat Party, come November 4, 2014!!!
Makes no difference relative your political stripe.....POTUS Obama is an “enemy of the state” (USA) period. His life’s mission is to tear down and destroy these United States of America!!! His loyalty is not to our great country, the USA...but to his beloved and adored, America hating “Muslim Brotherhood/ISIS/Hamas/al Qaeda, etc.” Fellow Americans, voters....make Obama an instant “Lame Duck” on the coming election day, November, 2014!!! Vote against every single Democrat running for office!!! Do it!!!
Even local Democrats are appearing in commercials against her.
