lol, grammy pelosi bamboozles gay patriot. what she did was very shrewd and clever. in one fell swoop she silenced the “out now” crowd by actively supporting murtha. if you think for one minute that she didn’t know what the outcome of the vote would be, then you don’t have any idea of what a savvy gammie she is.

Markie,

Cynical, aren’t we?? By your estimation Pelosi is savvy because she lied to her constituents! She pushes the “out now” envelope during the runup to the election and then doesn’t have to come through because she throws Murtha to the dogs. That makes her a liar who knowingly screwed Murtha, one of her most loyal (although an idiot) congressmen! Wow! The cleanest and most ethical House in history???

If something were to happen to the country in the next month, you’d blame a Democratic congress. LMAO.

Hmmmm Monty,

Would that be much like blaming the Bush administration for 9/11??? Seems all the planning happened on Slick Willie’s watch.

As I read it, I built parallels to the way the GayLeft treats gay conservatives, gay GOPers, or anyone who doesn’t march promptly onto the Democrat Plantation. Putting so much effort in isolating, demeaning, ostracisizing fellow gays just because of a strong cannibalistic urge within the GayLeft to dominate the political thought within our community. NDXXX nails it in his comments above. In fact, your quote –with a tad bit of tweaking– could be about the GayLeft’s treatment of other gays.

Here in Michigan, factions within the Democrats and feminists have had a long simmering feud over leadership. I’ve watched political careers within those groups destroyed by a level of viciousness I thought was usually only found in the GayLeft activist community.

Recently, a female Democrat candidate for state senate and noted maverick caught the ire of the Democrat feminists when she agreed, in part, with the controversial statement of former Harvard-Prez Larry Summers. (e.g., is there something innate that prevents women from doing better in math/science?)

Unfortunately, she was arguing for greater affirmative action steps to encourage younger grad-level females to study math/physics/science and dedicate themselves to improving the low placement of women in math and science. The feminists bounced on her, labeling her “closet conservative” (the kiss of death among Democrats) even though she was solidly pro-union, pro-gay marriage, pro-choice even for reasons of personal preference into the 2nd trimester, and anti-war.

The feminists and Democrat leadership mowed her down faster than a wheat combine rolling over a grouse nest full of fledglings in late October. And it was just as ugly. Petty. Catty –at one point, when she cried for the media to get back on the serious issues of the campaign (like diversifying our state economy away from automobiles) her feminist opponents got some added airtime because the female reporter opined she thought the candidate was ducking a serious issue –i.e., you don’t really think like we do, how can we trust you in office? And the “controversy” continued, killing her opportunity to win in a 2 way race. Who won the nomination? A male.

It was political correctness at the expense of advancing women with divergent ideas (well, not really of course in this case). Here, divergent ideas and independent thinking lost.

Her best line in the winnowing moments of the campaign: “Think. It isn’t illegal… yet.”

I think NancyP and other harsh, “Take-No-Prisoners” feminists would prefer to make “thinking” illegal. It sure is true for lots of activists within the Democrat Party… and the GayLeft… and the environmentalists… and the Black Community… and the Anti-war crowd… and on and on.

Hastings is not only Pelosi’s preferred choice, he is being strongly pushed by the CBC, who are finally demanding the spoils of their long and loyal support of the Democratic Party. Clyburn as Whip is just a down payment. Rangel and Conyers have “earned” their promotions by sheer “virtue” of seniority, so they don’t count against the debt perceived to be owed.

The CBC is apparently the last citadel of “old school” politics on Capitol Hill, where it is still cool to be corrupt, and no consequences ensue. Recall their strong objections to Rep. Jefferson’s demotion after that worthy had been videotaped accepting a $100,000 cash bribe, and the FBI found $90,000 of the marked bills in his home freezer.

With at least nine of the newly-elected Democrats joining the Blue Dog Caucus already, Pelosi needs to shore up her base of support, which has included the CBC, if she is to be effective at all as Speaker. Hastings buttons the deal. He would sell us out to al Qaeda in a heartbeat for the right price, but he will behave as Pelosi wishes, and you must have priorities . . .

One wonders why liberals are always trying to denigrate conservative women, especially since feminism is supposedly all about the right of women to do as they please.

I suppose it’s because, similar to how they denigrate black conservatives and gay conservatives, the price of their support is absolute obedience; a woman like Tammy Bruce who does not believe or do exactly as JAQ requires is a threat to his dominance, and thus must be punished.

I find it funny that most of the posts here now are doomsday predictions about Democrats who’ve barely just begun their new terms. And nothing like an enlightened, feminine perspective of Tammy Bruce, Ann Coulter’s even less attractive wanna-be. Shouldn’t she be barefoot in the kitchen pregnant with John Bolton’s child rather than writing and blogging, which is obviously men’s work?

Yeah, it is a shame, since we have already seen what happens to policy choices when someone ‘lets personal considerations shape [their] policy choices.’ What was that that Bush said? Something about seeing into souls?

With Murtha’s Defeat, Will Pelosi Continue Catfight with Harman? GayPatriotWest With the defeat earlier this morning of her choice for House Majority Leader in the 110th Congress, House Speaker-designate Nancy Pelosi suffered her first setback since D…
