House Republicans admit that they're outmatched by Nancy Pelosi; want to "put her in her place"
Congressional GOP Fundraising Committee On Pelosi: It’s Time To ‘Put Her In Her Place’



"The Place for a Woman is at the Top of the House of Representatives"

by TomP

Jed has a story on the front page about Republican sexism from the Republican Party's congressional campaign committee:

If Nancy Pelosi’s failed economic policies are any indicator of the effect she may have on Afghanistan, taxpayers can only hope McChrystal is able to put her in her place.

GOP on Pelosi: Hopes "McChrystal is able to put her in her place"

Representative Debbie Wasserman Shultz responded:

"I think the place for a woman is at the top of the House of Representatives"

More Wasserman Shultz:

"It's evidence they long for the days when a woman's place was in the kitchen. Now a woman is third in line for the presidency... But it's not surprising, coming from a party that's 80 percent male and 100 percent white," she added, referring to the composition of the House GOP conference.

1. Well, I hope her "effectiveness" in running the dem side of the House . . .
Makes up for her total lack of principles. At least she's not totally useless *and* principle-free, like Harry Reid.

8. When you're a stooge -- by which I mean captive to interests . . .
opposed to the people you're supposed to represent (and in her case, that's all Americans), then GOP or Dem doesn't really matter as much as it should.

Is she the worst Speaker in the history of the House? Probably not. Are we missing a huge opportunity to take advantage of the majority, and by genuinely serving the interests of the people, cement that majority? Hell yes.

they will target an individual(the Target)(bullies like to do this)

Our efforts should be restoring Reason, Sanity, and Truth...Logos...as opposed to Mythos...that is LOGIC

Nancy is doing just fine...we had much worse in the GOP

6. They really want the founders' constitution restored
And that means stripping woman's right to vote and enslaving minorities. Why can't things be like the old days?

11. I'm shocked. OK, not really.
They always want to put women and minorities "in their place" (and heaven help you if you are both, right Justice Sotomayor?)

15. A woman's place is in the House... and in the Senate. We settled that 30 years ago!
I think Nancy P handled it quite well.
