I actually laughed out loud when I read The Hill's article reporting that a Democratic politician, Rep. Mike McIntyre (D-N.C.), says he "heard" that Nancy Pelosi wouldn't be running for Speaker of the House again if the Democrats retained hold of the majority in the Huose of Representatives.This is the woman that pushed, pulled, bribed and twisted arms of vulnerable Democrats to pass god awful legislation despite those same politician's constituents being against said legislation (One example- Obamacare)thereby forcing them to jump off a cliff with her.
This is the same Nancy Pelosi that insisted that Obamacare had to be passed so the public could learn what was in it. The same woman that promised to run the most ethical congress ever!!! The same woman that said and I quote "I fully expect to be speaker of the House five weeks from now."
Do these Democratic politicians that swear they will not vote for Pelosi as Speaker if she has the opportunity to run again, really think voters are stupid enough to fall for that line of reasoning?
Does any of them honestly think she would step down for the good of the party?
Even is she would (laughing again here), do they truly think that would save them come November 2, 2010?
Newsflash- Pelosi, while a huge problem, is not the extent of Democratic woes coming into the midterms, she is simply one of the politicians that betrayed the public's trust.
Democrats have had control of the House of Representatives and the Senate for four years and Democrats have had control of the White House for two and the public is damn sick and tired of them.
Obamacare, bank bailouts, auto industry bailouts, corporate bailouts, the stimulus package, an addition of $3 trillion in debt, etc etc etc..... all passed by a Democratically controlled Congress and Senate, as a whole.
They jumped off the cliff with Pelosi and now want someone to hand them a parachute in midair.
Too little, too late.
This has been your ridiculous item of the day.... back to regularly scheduled blogging.
