Pelosi is not far left by...What Matt and Tam said.<br /><br />Pelosi is not far left <i>by San Francisco standards</i>; and her "more rightwing House colleagues" is meant literally. <i>More</i> right than her, not "right" in the general sense.<br /><br />Pelosi is much more of a politician-qua-politician than a Progressive zealot. She cares a lot more about keeping Democrats in power than about pushing for the Progressives, which is why they're bitching about her.Sigivaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16152366541957466049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-42991663261921397012010-11-01T05:56:05.089-07:002010-11-01T05:56:05.089-07:00Believe it.
One of the biggest things going again...Believe it.<br /><br />One of the biggest things going against the Dems in tomorrow's elections is apathy from the far left base, the people who are to their party what the Pat Robertson crowd is to the GOP.<br /><br />They expected big things out of the current administration, and are upset that there was no magic-wand transformation into Socialist Paradise.

For example, at one of Barry's speeches yesterday, he was booed at by AIDS protesters, for what they viewed as "not doing enough" (again, considering how much his people promised for the votes of all these different groups, I'm not surprised some of them are still in line for their rainbow-flavored kool-aid reward, and disappointed that the punch bowl's run dry).Mattexianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364636677279037964noreply@blogger.com
