Nancy Pelosi and the Dissenting Little Pets

By Semperpapa

During a press conference last weekend, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was asked by a reporter if she was going to have a debate with the Republican candidate running against her in her district.
The smug Congresswoman from San Francisco had an interesting and telling response.
Paraphrasing, she responded that her time was money, that she would see as a better investment of her time (and money) to campaign around the country for other Democrats, that her main goal was to see liberals maintain the power in the House instead of increase the advantage she has over her opponent.

Such is the self-righteous Congresswoman from San Francisco.

Unfortunately for the United States, she is actually correct, as hers is not a seat in jeopardy for liberals.

But there is an interesting phenomenon happening in some other races across the country.
Several Democrat candidates are distancing themselves from the Speaker, even hinting that, if elected, they would not vote for Nancy as Speaker of the House.

Jim Marshall in Georgia and Bobby Bright in Alabama are two of the Democrats who have distanced themselves from Pelosi, recognizing that the general unpopularity of the California Congresswoman would most likely have a sinking effect on their campaigns, rather than help them.

Then there is Roy Herron in Tennessee, a Democrat running for Congress, who is also running on a anti-Pelosi platform who stated that as soon as he distanced himself from the Speaker, the Democrat Party turned against him and blocked the broadcast of some ads that had already been paid for.
Mr. Herron, stoically, declared that if it was the price to be paid for independence, he was willing to pay it.

November 2nd is only two weeks away and the people will speak then. It would be interesting, though, to see the interaction between Pelosi and these new Congressmen, should they actually get elected.
In any case, it brings a smile to my face to imagine the reaction that Queen Pelosi must be having in regard to the dissention of some of her little pets.
But I would not want to be at the receiving end of the wrath of Nancy.

Just my thoughts!
