There’s an old adage that says even a crazy person
will run out of a burning building, and it would appear that that could be the
near perfect analogy when discussing what is now rumored to be taking place in
the House of Representatives, on the Democrat side of the aisle. Nothing can brings you back to reality like repeatedly
getting your ass beat, and after now having gone 0 for 5 in special elections,
there seems to be more than a few Democrats see their house as being on fire
and who are now becoming very vocal when it comes to who they see as being responsible
for only adding fuel to the fire. That would
be, Nancy Pelosi.
Apparently the old girl is now facing considerable pressure,
as frustrated Democrats have begun, for the first time in seven years, to talk
about replacing her as their leader after a series of disappointments at the
ballot box. Pelosi was hailed as a driving
force behind Democrats’ victory in 2006, when the party seized both houses of
Congress and set the stage for victory in the 2008 presidential election. She became the first female Speaker of the
House, and set about centralizing power in the Speaker’s office, ruling her
caucus with unquestioned authority and promoting an unapologetically leftist
agenda.
However, Pelosi’s role in the Obamacare debacle of
2009-10 helped provoke the Tea Party wave, sending her party to historic defeat
and costing her the Speaker’s gavel.
Amazingly, Pelosi did not resign at that point, and dispatched several
would-be challengers, most notably Rep. Heath Shuler (D-NC), who would later
lose his seat to a Republican. She also was
successful in fending off a challenge by Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) after 2016. Pelosi has been a prolific fundraiser for the
party, even if she has also become a lightning rod for criticism and a useful
political foil for Republicans to run against.
Ironically, Pelosi’s power within her caucus only
grew as the Democrats lost seats, because most of the losses occurred in more conservative
swing districts. That left a core of
liberal representatives from major Democrat controlled cities, and some of the
darker blue states such as New York, Illinois, and, of course, her home state
of California. There has been no
political constituency in the caucus for an ideological alternative to the
left-wing agenda that Pelosi and her coterie have continued to push even in
defeat. It would seem that within the
Democrat Party opposing opinions are neither welcome nor tolerated.
And it was the high expectations that Pelosi set for
Tuesday’s special election in Georgia that may finally prove to be her
undoing. Early in the week, with Jon
‘Pajama Boy’ Ossoff expected to win, Pelosi let it be known that she expected
to take back the Speaker’s gavel after 2018.
But when the dust settled on Tuesday it became apparent that Pelosi may
have jumped the gun regarding her prospects in 2018. Because it was Republican Karen Handel who
came out on top in the contest, in part by tying her opponent to Pelosi. As reality hit home, some Democrats began to
break the taboo around challenging their leader.
One of the first was MS’LSD’ ‘analyst’ Matthew A.
Miller who tweeted: “No Dem wants to say it publicly, but taking their top
bogeyman Pelosi off the table would help too. Fair or not, it’s the
truth.” And it never takes all that long
for those on the left to descend into a feeding frenzy once they smell blood in
the water, it didn’t take long for more critics of Ms. Pelosi to emerge. After all, if there is one thing that can be
said after having watched those on the left it’s that there must always be
someone to blame once things go wrong.
And since 2009 the Democrats have lost 1000 legislative seats at the
local, state and federal levels.
There is now a growing number of voices from within the
Democrat Party who are now openly calling for a change in their leadership in
the House. For instance it was Rep. Seth
Moulton who has said, “It’s time for some change. I think it’s time for a new
generation of leadership.” And Rep.
Filemon Vela told Politico: “I think you’d have to be an idiot to think we
could win the House with Pelosi at the top … Nancy Pelosi is not the only
reason that Ossoff lost. But she certainly
is one of the reasons.” But Pelosi also
has more than a ardent defenders and you can bet your bottom dollar that she
will not go easily, or quietly.
And today, when asked about criticisms that her
leadership contributed to the recent special election losses for the Democrat
Party, Pelosi said, “We believe there’s a real opportunity. Now, it’s not a
slam dunk. History is on our side, but it takes strategic, unified and
disciplined — to have harmony. It doesn’t mean we have anonymity, but we have
unity when it comes to that fight.
Should I sing my praises? Well, I
am a master legislator. I am a strategic politically astute leader. My leadership is recognized by many around
the country, and that is why I am able to attract the support that I do which
is essential to our election, sad to say.”
She went on to say, “I am very pleased that the
cooperation that we’re doing working with all the social media and small donor
community to change how we communicate but also how we attract resources,
intellectual and financial to the party.”
She added, “I have experience in winning the Congress. When people said
to us in 2005, you don’t have a chance, be prepared for a Republican permanent
majority, I said — Harry Reid and I said we don’t accept that. We proceeded. We
took the president from 58 to 38. President Bush won the election.” But this is not 2005, it’s 2017 and there are
those asking what has she done for them lately?
Look, those who have repeatedly voted for her to be
their leader knew what they were getting, or at least they should have. And if they didn’t then maybe they’re too
stupid to be in Congress. My only point
here is that they have no one to blame but themselves. And the fact that there were enough members
who wanted her as their leader tells you all you need to know about the
Democrat members in the House. I mean
think about it, if you were a Democrat in the House would you really want
Pelosi to be one trying to convince the American people how it is that the
Democrat Party feels their pain?
Because if having Ms. “We have to pass it to see
what’s it” as your leader proves anything, it that the Democrat Party cares
very little about average middle class Americans. What the Democrat Party really cares about is
getting back in power so that it can then work to increase the size of
government, raise everyone’s taxes and to make it so the government has even more
control over the lives of the American people.
Now personally, I think she is doing a bang up job and I would really
hate to see her go. Granted, we’d still
have Chuckie Schumer over in the Senate, but things just wouldn’t be the same
without Pelosi.
Pelosi is a delusional and possess a bizarre sense
of reality. Pelosi makes it incredibly
easy for Democrats to support President Trump, now and again in 2020. Pelosi
offers NOTHING at all except her irrational hatred for our country and our
President. Politicians like Pelosi could
work with the president and for the American people. But Pelosi isn't interested in that. Fighting
and obstructing progress are the only things that matter to politicians like
Hitlery and Pelosi. They are so out of touch, they don't even know who their
constituents are anymore. They don't
even care what they are fighting about. They just fight, like rabid dogs.
I can only assume that Pelosi has contracted the same
disease that afflicted Obummer! Arrogance
to the nth degree! They both believe
they are smartest people in the room and both contributed to the incredible
number losses suffered by the Democrat Party in just eight years. By the time President Trump is done with
Obummers ‘legacy’ his library will be EMPTY! The only people benefiting from eight years of
Obummer's time in office were rich elite Democrat donors and the public sector
unions. The people who suffered were the middle class hard-working ordinary
Americans who rose up on Election Day!
