Many Democratic legislators are willing to unite with some Republican legislators to elect a “consensus choice” for Speaker of the House, Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)9% says.
“I think in our caucus there is interest and support, there’s an openness to a bipartisan approach to this [the election of the next Speaker of the House],” Pelosi said at the Texas Tribune Festival, according to Conservative HQ.
Conservative HQ reported the statement from Pelosi comes after establishment Rep. Charles Dent (R-PA) said a “bipartisan coalition” is needed in the House:
I’ve said for some time that in order to pass anything out of the House we need to assemble a bipartisan coalition whether it’s on the continuing resolution, the debt ceiling, we will have to assemble a bipartisan coalition. That’s the reality of this place and I don’t think that any of our leaders should make accommodations to those who are going to make unreasonable demands.
Conservative HQ suggested Pelosi and the Democrats want a Speaker of the House, such as the establishment choice Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)58%Ryan, or a similarly disposed candidate, would give the Democrats everything they want; a “clean” debt ceiling increase, a Continuing Resolution to fund the government at Obama levels of spending, breaking the spending caps a la the Ryan–Murray budget, continuing funding of Planned Parenthood, continued funding of Obamacare and worst of all, congressional confirmation of Obama’s policy of granting amnesty to millions of illegal aliens.

“Bipartisan” is a synonym for the word “traitor”.
Oh, I see. If you are a dim it’s tails you win and heads your opponents lose. So much simpler than having to co-opt someone like Boehner all the time.
Boehner is just her hand puppet.
die nancy, die. ....please.
Instead of #1, 2, 3 etc., I'm having to use #1, 1A, 1B...etc.
“What’s ours is ours. What’s yours is negotiable.”
Democrats and communists, but I repeat myself
And if the conservative wing of the Republicans (i.e., "our" guys, the ones we love here on FR) are seen as the "obstacle," then we get the Dems, the press, and the liberal wing of the Republican party all dogpiling on us to make us look bad.
In other words...business as usual! ;)
Just hope this trial balloon of Pelosi's goes over like a lead balloon. But I expect the liberal media to keep this bad idea afloat as long as possible, so it can do as much damage over time as possible.
Any Republican who rushes breathlessly to a microphone to give any kind of support to this destructive idea of Pelosi's should be excommunicated from the Party.
Speaker must have a majority.
No, I believe the term was “unintelligent fascist tools”.
GOP better start listening to conservatives and elect the best new Speaker soon. Otherwise, even more donations will dry up!
Go on all you very stupid pubbies.
Screw your conservative faction and suck up to the lib dems, AGAIN!
