Nancy Pelosi: Great for the GOP!

Nancy Pelosi, 62-year-old congresswoman from California, is expected to win the Democratic position of minority leader of House of Representatives, now that Rep. Martin Frost of Texas has withdrawn from the race. Having Pelosi in that position is the best news ever for the GOP and for the people of the United States of America.

Pelosi's only in the Congress because she is the favored icon of the far-left wing of the Democratic Party in San Francisco, where voters are so un-American they actually have demonstrations in support of Saddam Hussein instead of our military forces!

Pelosi will be the butt of many insider jokes in the Democratic establishment. I once visited her Washington office to lobby her on a bill before the House, and what I found was an airhead incapable of independent thought. Although she has a reputation of a strikingly intelligent and well-prepared politician, I found something distinctly different. She was completely ignorant about the subject matter of the bill, but she was obviously completely in agreement with the people we were lobbying against. Time proved me right. The bill passed and years later it came to light that all the information I had was precise, while hers was totally contrived.

Pelosi is very very rich and disliked by many of her own Democratic colleagues. This woman is so far gone that her views of the war on terrorism are only supported by terrorists--homespun and otherwise. She is the worst possible enemy of our safety. She recently stated that she saw no threat from Saddam Hussein. After today's unanimous resolution in the United Nations, I wonder what is going on in her head. Nancy is not only disconnected from the American people, but she is disconnected from this world!

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? Maybe they will ask Jimmy Carter to come back; after all they got Mondale to run for the Senate.

The Democrats are a sad lot. Al Gore set the tone when he tried to steal the 2000 election from George W. Bush. Even with all the voter fraud the Democrats have institutionalized, they were unable to do it. Then they engineered the defection of Senator Jumpin Jeffords of Vermont. Seems they are again trying to buy a couple of Republicans to win back the Senate! The truth is that the Democrats are abandoning the center and heading further to the left, and away from the American people.

It is up to Republicans to diversify, take on as much ammunition as possible, and exterminate the demorodents. If you can contain your laughter at the thought of Pelosi as a Queen Bee of Congress, then give the left wing a round of applause. They are so far out now that they could possibly win an election in Iraq!

Tackling the Republican's problems in CA are similar to tackling them here in NY. The Demodogs are so deeply entrenched that they can not be dislodged statewide. There is no hope that a true Republican can be elected here, or there. However, in CA, there may be a glint of a hope coming in '06.

If, as is likely, the budget woes of CA come to fruition in the next several years, (I'm sorry, all my CA buddies), and the energy agenda is controlled by the greenies, there is a strong likelihood that in '06 there won't be a weak enough Republican candidate to lose, and a creditable one may have long coattails. In fact, I think Simon could easily be that candidate, and will run a better race.

In NY, it is more organic: the extremely liberal wing of the Demodogs has been kept in check for the most part. The RINOS keep a modicum of control in the Senate, and the worst is deflected. Yeah, we have Hitlery, but with the NYC votes, that was going to be very difficult to avoid. Our energy problem is going to come, but CA has helped show the way to not do things, and Niagara Falls and our nuclear plants really keep some of that in abeyance for now. We do have plenty of places to build, and that will happen when the time comes. Also, we are not expanding rapidly, as CA is.

See, the problem is that there are limited resources for the RNC. They must decide where they can get the most bang for the buck, both in terms of money and personnel. Many other states are ahead of both CA and NY in this line. We'll have to go it alone the best we can, until those states are reliably Republican and can do without RNC help.

So, the answer to whether the RNC is going to tackle the problems in CA is, almost certainly, no, at least in the near future. They can do far more good elsewhere with their resources. I don't like it either, but limits are reality.

You sound like you understand this problem well. Thanks for educating us.

I guess I still don't understand why the RNC would write-off 87 (CA + NY) electoral votes without more of a fight. While Davis certainly won in CA, it was not by a great margin. It would seem to me that with a little more effort (read, "Money and visits from the President") the RNC could take California. It is not like our Democratic Leaders are Popular...

Further, outside of the major cities,L.A. and San Francisco, the Dem's are not that popular. Is NY the same?
