Dem Congressman: Pelosi Might ‘Get Sick and Die’

By Doug Powers  •  August 26, 2010 01:24 PM

**Written by Doug Powers

Heading into November, it sounds like some Democrats have grown tired of running from the politically toxic Nancy Pelosi and have instead decided that the best strategy is to start coughing on her a lot to see what happens.

From Greg Sargent at the Washington Post:

Yesterday I noted here that some House Dems in tough districts are now aggressively distancing themselves from the Obama/Pelosi agenda, with some Dems taking direct shots at the President and the Speaker.

Blue Dog Dem Bobby Bright of Alabama has raised this to a new level, joking to constitutents that Pelosi might “get sick and die” before he has to support her again for Speaker, a local reporter tells me.
[...]
So I called the reporter, Cosby Woodruff, and he gave me Bright’s actual quote.

“He had been asked a question from the audience about his support for Pelosi,” Woodruff told me. “He said, `Let’s wait until that comes up. He listed a long list of reasons why Pelosi might not run for Speaker of the House.”

“The last one was, `heck, she might even get sick and die,’” Woodruff told me.

Well, that’s one way to give Pelosi a fleeting moment of regret for putting the government in charge of health care.

With any luck, when the next Congress convenes early next year, it will be the results of November’s elections that relieve Pelosi of her gavel instead of any successful spell Bobby Bright managed to cast with his Queen Nancy voodoo doll (eyelift voodoo kit sold separately).

    DC needs to be swept completely clean of socialists, progressives, big gov promoters and anti-Constitutional elites. If the GOP is not committed to massive cuts in spending and big gov programs, they can go next. The GOP had better be prepared to repeal obamacare, rein in the czars and override any vetoes meant to preserve the progressive agenda. Restore the Constitution or get out of politics.

    Really? The FIRST thing? Who are you??? I mean, Pelosi looks pretty good for her age (I believe she is in her 90′s), but “the first thing that enters my mind”? Blech!

    That’s the point. There are some fairly reasonable people in Alabama and they just vote for a democrat. Unfortunately, that gives power to San Franciso.

    The socialists know this and even count on it. Then they crap all over everyone and the good people of Alabama don’t understand what just happened to them. They are wising up, though. They had enough brains to question their Rep about this.

    O.K. Maybe so, although I don’t think you are speaking for all men…that would make you all pretty shallow. Now Pelosi? She is in a category all by herself. Would any normal man even consider whether she used to be hot? I think not. Sorry, I don’t mean to insult you. But madame blinky is really disgusting, inside and out.

    The whole idea of a “blue dog democrat” is a lie made from whole cloth by the MSM. The media wants uninformed or semi-informed voters to think that there are actually some democrats who have conservative values – it is a bunch of bull. If someone is running as a democrat, I am going to assume they support TOTALLY a socialistic, big government agenda and have no compunction about destroying our Constitution. There are Republicans who fall into the “blue dog” group–and they should be hounded out of office as well.

    Dare we say that even democrats have seen the water below them now. They walked the plank for Nancy and Barry, but have just been falling and hence no pain since then. But now they see the water, and they know that water is going to leave a mark when you freefall that far. The rinos need to wake up and see the water also, or they too can be replaced. Say what you’re going to do, and do what you say. NO MORE “I’M GOING TO TO BRING ABOUT WORLD PEACE.”

    With Nazi Pelosi, I might find her attractive if she wasnt trying to destroy this Country, and lie through her teeth everything she speaks. But since her politics are treasonous (IMHO) my political-goggles makes her look like Godzilla’s butt to me, even if I might think otherwise if she were a conservative. Guess Ill never know. The only lib I find pol-goggles-proof is Norah O’Donnell, who, no matter how big of a fool she constantly makes of herself, always looks quite good. If only she was conservative. *sigh* :o

    This is beautiful!

    A while ago, an incumbent only voted about 30% of the time. So the challenger created an ad that showed a couple of officers and a bloodhound searching the state capital for the incumbent. They never found him. The incumbent lost and it was attributed to this specific ad.

    However, asking a question of an empty suit is exactly like asking a question of a socialist. You get the same response.
