Nancy Pelosi Doesn’t Need To Be Next Minority Leader. But Who Am I To Tell Democrats Who To Lose With, Right?!
Pelosi doesn’t need to be next minority leader
The United States is a center-right country, which makes it mind-boggling, but not surprising, that soon-to-be ex-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., would run for House minority leader.
Pelosi is a San Francisco liberal ideologue - the same one, when she became speaker in 2007, who said she was going “to drain the swamp” of corruption, make the Democratic-controlled Congress one of the best, most open in recent history, and declared that it should pass Obamacare and then find out what is in the legislation after it passes.
Mrs. Pelosi, you have fallen short of this bright new tomorrow. Your time as speaker has shown you to be arrogant, lacking a bipartisan approach and someone who definitely didn’t drain the swamp, considering hearings for members in your own party accused of ethics violations were scheduled after the elections this week.
The country spoke loud and clear Tuesday night that it didn’t like how you, Harry Reid and Mr. Obama rammed legislation through strictly on party lines when poll after poll showed that people didn’t want the stimulus bill, cap and trade and especially Obamacare.
Apparently, you, like Obama, didn’t get the message of the majority of the country on Election Day.
Certainly, you have every right to run for minority leader and probably have a good chance of winning that title considering the number of blue dog Democrats who paid the price at the polls will be fewer. But it would be in the best interest of the Democratic Party to elect a minority leader who isn’t as polarizing as you, and who is more moderate and better represents the center-right country we live in.
Pelosi’s politics apparently didn’t play well with middle America. Now that Republicans have control of that body of Congress, it would behoove them to avoid Pelosi’s bad example by listening closely to what Americans are saying.
Pelosi, whose approval rating is 24 percent, might be the next House minority leader, but we believe she has had her day in the sun. It’s time to pass the mantle of leadership to someone who is closer to the mainstream than the far-left district in California she represents.
