Getting In Bed With The Devil

By Semperpapa

This is certainly one of those mid-term elections cycle that will make history, to the chagrin of the Democratic Party. This is also one of those times when even I would be willing to make a pact with the devil.

Political correspondent Byron York has an interesting article in the Washington Examiner titled “GOP challenges Pelosi in deep-blue San Francisco” where he outlines the fact that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is facing some GOP challenge in her ultra-Communist district of San Francisco.

Ok, after hearing of the difficult campaign Barney Frank is facing in Massachusetts, I guess everything could happen in these elections, but the actual retiring of Pelosi from not only the role of Speaker but the House all together goes beyond any wildest hope our Nation could expect.

According to York, for the first time in many election cycles, Pelosi has a real opponent, one Republican named John Dennis.
From the point of view of foreign policy, Dennis would definitely not meet my approval, and his endorsement from Cindy Sheehan and Ralph Nader cohort Matt Gonzales, does absolutely nothing to improve my opinion.
Dennis is against the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq; he is for the scale down of American Military presence throughout the world and opposed to the Patriot Act. And was a Ron Paul supporter in the 2008 Presidential Elections.

On the other hand, Dennis is a business man, successful at that, and in opposition to any of the economic policies the Obama Administration and the liberal Congress has shoved down our throats.
He is against the bailouts; against Obamacare; against Cap and Trade; and he is in favor of making the Bush tax cuts permanent.

What the people of San Francisco are looking at is a Libertarian who wants our Military involvement in the world scaled down and the intrusion of our government in our lives drastically reduced.

I do not hold much hope, I must say, to wake up on Nov. 3 morning and seeing the headlines that Pelosi has been fired by her constituency. After all we are talking about San Francisco!
But I do find interesting that the popularity of Pelosi, already abysmal on a nation-wide level, has been tarnished among her staunchest supporters. I will be interested to see the returns of that specific race, because after winning the last two elections with 80% of the votes or more, anything below that margin of victory may signal that finally Nancy may be on her way out.

And if that would require getting in bed with Satan, not that I am calling Mr. Dennis Satan by the way, the removal of Pelosi from Congress could mean nothing but good news for America.

Just my thoughts!
