Now, As you probably have been able to tell from previous posts, I am definitely not conservative. And I am a proud member of the Democratic Party. However, this does not mean that I am going to love everything about it. For instance, I am not a huge fan of Pelosi. She never seemed to be a leader for Democratic Party, merely a figure head that got a lot of press. No matter what news source I got information from, she didn't instill the feeling that she was doing what the people wanted or what the other Democrats wanted, but what she wanted. Therefore I am of the belief that when it comes time for Democrats to elect their leader, they should definitely go in a new direction. The Democratic Party suffered a huge blow this election and I believe Pelosi is part of the reason. Her appearance of not being a team player created a lot of enemies for her and if the Democrats want to regain the trust of the people, they will need to change their course.

Pelosi Out?
Nancy Pelosi is the kind of person you either love or hate. Clearly, Republicans have expressed the not so positive feelings toward her over the past couple of years. But now that the Democrats are no longer the majority, what will feelings toward her look like? Whether they are good or bad, it seems like everyone is ready for a change in direction for the mew minority party. And according to this Fox News article, Rep. Heath Shuler of North Carolina will be challenging Nancy Pelosi for House Minority leader and other Democrats have pledged to not support her running.

You said exactly what I was thinking! Well done! I completely agree with you. Pelosi has been getting a lot of negative press for a long time now, and she never seemed to care, so this is when it turns around and bites her in the ***. I don't think she will receive House Minority leader. And I can remember her saying that if the Democratic Party loses power in the House, she will not run for Minority leader?
ReplyDeleteWhat Nancy Pelosi has going for her is a remarkable talent for twisting arms in the House when the going gets tough. The limited health care reform we got would not have happened at all were it not for Speaker Pelosi's ability to pull Democratic fence sitters down from their cozy neutral perches. She doesn't do a very good job of managing perceptions about herself; which is something a female politician has to do much more than any man. Maybe American society just isn't "there" yet. It will be interesting to see how a female President fares in the public arena.
ReplyDeleteI cannot stand Nancy Pelosi, and I hope she is not in the press as much as she is now. There is just something about her that I every time I see and hear her on TV or radio it's like nails on a chalkboard. Her demeanor, and her voice, and just that arrogant attitude that she always seems to have just absolutely bothers me. With that ripping on a democrat I will say Sarah Palin has the same affect. I'm not a fan of either party, so there could be some good and some bad things that will come out of the election. One thing that is good is Nancy Pelosi will not be the leader of the House of Representatives.
