In July of this year I demanded Pelosi step down as speaker.

[burythehatchet]

I understand there were many sage and level-headed people who had various levels of contempt for my demand, because we all know, flaming moonbat liberals like me are completely out of touch with reality.

Here is the original post:

I demand Speaker Pelosi resign her speakership...immediately

She has failed horribly at understanding what the role of congress is.

She is a fine person who is mis-cast is a role that is not suited for her during these times.






Just curious, can all the wise and sagacious members of this board help me understand once again why she should remain speaker?

[Whisp]

1. what exactly is so fine about her?

she has done and covered up things I consider to be rather coarse and brutish.

[acmavm]

2. Hell, I agree(d). She needs to go. Especially since we found out

that Grandma Nancy knew all about the torture.

She needs to be tossed on the trashbin of history's most worthless politicians. And she needs to leave a little room for Harry.

[burythehatchet]

4. Amen Bro.

I wept tears of joy the day she was sworn in. Now I weep tears of sorrow at being hoodwinked, once again.

[acmavm]

6. I'm a sis. But that's cool. As long as we get rid of Grandma

Enabler and her buddy.

By the way, did we ever get any details on that 'secret' trade deal they were so damn proud of??

[burythehatchet]

25. Thanks for the gender clarification

I often wonder how it is that we tend to develop a mental image of posters whom we see often. (An incorrect mental image)

[acmavm]

39. I've been surprised a couple times lately myself. And just like you, it was

shes that I had mistaken for hes.

I wonder why we do that?

[Joe Fields]

3. I have been screaming long and loud for quite sometime, myself.

K&R.

[Enrique]

5. she should remain because the caucus continues to support her

[Zuiderelle]

7. Oh do go on.

[ronnykmarshall]

13. You crazy!!

:loveya:

19. What else would you like to know, PelosiFan?

9. I finally did in October.

But, the corruption in every branch of our government is so profound, and the media is so complicit, it's hard to finger Nancy alone or even mostly. Especially when the real story here may be Jay Rockefeller, not Nancy at all.

I think I have Outrage PTSD.

[porphyrian]

11. We're going to need an "Outrage PTSD" clinic around here.

;)

[EFerrari]

14. Instead of complaining, we should see it as a business opportunity.

[BeFree]

10. Remain speaker?

You durn durty leftist. Why can't you be moderate? Try it, you may like it. Life is so much easier to just suck up to the PTB and statements like your's make the rest of us uncomfortable. Moderates want life to be easy and you ain't helping!

[Perry Logan]

12. 1) It hurts the party, & 2) you'd be attacking her successor--no matter who it was--within minutes.

Happy to clear that up for you. Now focus on attacking REPUBLICANS. Go ahead--don't be scared.

[burythehatchet]

18. What color is my tie today?

[cali]

15. Actually, what you don't seem to understand

is that people were mocking your self-important hubris. You actually seem to feel that your "demand" has any meaning. It doesn't. And this is the same petulant "me, me, me. I'm right. I'm so wise" kind of post. I thought Will Pitt's response was perfect:]

"I want a pony. Right. Now".

[CreekDog]

16. did that work? (nt)

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

17. We knew since, what, last March...

what kind of politician Pelosi was?

It's like a microcosm of the War in Iraq. Some people knew what was what right away, some people figured out pretty fast, some people still haven't pulled their heads out of their ass.

[terrya]

20. But...Speaker Pelosi doesn't read Democratic Underground

How is she going to know about your demand that she resign?

[EFerrari]

23. Myself, I emailed and snail mailed my request.

I thought that was only fair.

[Richardo]

21. How'd that work out for you?

Any other demands?

[burythehatchet]

22. Not very well, how about for you?

Plenty of other demands. But right now just a request for DUers to discontinue the visual analysis of their colons when it comes to Ms. Pelosi.

[Richardo]

26. I don't see you recommending anyone else....

Any ideas?

[Occam Bandage]

24. You were wrong then; you are wrong now.

She has not thrown pointless red meat at your feet. She has, however, accomplished quite a bit.

[EFerrari]

27. Yes, she has taken the people's remedy, impeachment, off the table,

she has disowned her constituents and now, it appears, she kept quiet when briefed that the United States of America was torturing people.

Quite a record.

[Occam Bandage]

28. "The people's remedy" is not impeachment. It is the ballot.

"Disowned her constituents" is meaningless babble.
And you're referring to a ridiculous, unsourced hit piece.

Is this all the Democrat-haters have? Empty bombast?

[EFerrari]

29. Our federal elections have been stolen in the last two elections.

Nancy got right on top of that. :sarcasm:

And yes, she did disown her constituents. That's a matter of public record. She said out loud that those of us who were demonstrating outside her office in the Federal Building here in San Francisco were not her constituents. Unfortunately, we are. And, no, I don't refer to anonymous, unsourced hit pieces. I was there.

And no, this isn't about hating Democrats. This is about waking up one day and having no representation at all.

Does that answer your questions?

[Occam Bandage]

30. You were there when she was briefed on waterboarding?

Wow. You're pretty high ranking.

[EFerrari]

31. You misread my post which was pretty clear. n/t

[Occam Bandage]

32. More pointing out how you misread mine.

[EFerrari]

33. Nope.

"And yes, she did disown her constituents. That's a matter of public record. She said out loud that those of us who were demonstrating outside her office in the Federal Building here in San Francisco were not her constituents. Unfortunately, we are. And, no, I don't refer to anonymous, unsourced hit pieces. I was there."

And after that demonstration, I wrote this:

[Occam Bandage]

35. That's nice, but my reference to "anonymous, unsourced hit pieces" was regarding Pelosi

and Waterboarding. I addressed each of your three issues with a one-line description of each.

[EFerrari]

36. Then you would be off in left field rebutting something I never asserted.

And not responding at all to my initial post on this topic. Perhaps that's what you need to do to defend your position.

"Yes, she has taken the people's remedy, impeachment, off the table,

she has disowned her constituents and now, it appears, she kept quiet when briefed that the United States of America was torturing people.

Quite a record."

[Occam Bandage]

37. You referenced Pelosi and waterboarding. That issue revolves around

an unsourced WaPo article.

[book_worm]

34. I can't believe Pelosi didn't take your advice!
