The sources said a key casualty would be Rep. Jane Harman, a six-term member of Congress who has cooperated with Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee.

Pelosi forgets that Harman could change party affiliation then what? Just dreaming.

One slight consolation in all this will be watching the Dems try to straddle the fence between their loony base and the "Independents" who just put them in power, a group that will hardly be pleased with a radical lurch left. Bring the popcorn.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi plans to sideline colleagues who are hawkish on national security in the Democratic leadership in the House...Boy, all those bright loonie lefties who thought by electing 'rats they'd get out of Iraq right away - about one third of the party - were really duped this time - hope they're not too pi$$ed at the Dems.....

Does that mean that no one connected to her Progressive Caucus and the comrades at the Democratic Socialists of America will have key positions?

This quote from worldnetdaily says of the Democratic Socialists of America:

"Another song on the site was "Red Revolution" sung to the tune of 'Red Robin.' The lyrics went: 'When the Red Revolution brings its solution along, along, there'll be no more lootin' when we start shootin' that Wall Street throng. ...' Another song removed after WorldNetDaily's expose was 'Are You Sleeping, Bourgeoisie?' The lyrics went: 'Are you sleeping? Are you sleeping? Bourgeoisie, Bourgeoisie. And when the revolution comes, We'll kill you all with knives and guns, Bourgeoisie, Bourgeoisie.'" [my emphasis]

Sounds pretty hawkish to me -- but hey! the songs could just be a collection of botched jokes?

Wot?

"Rep. Nancy Pelosi plans to sideline colleagues who are hawkish on national security in the Democratic leadership in the House."

She means hawkish for the U.S. of A ?

Never mind.

Hmmm-m-m, didn't know the Dims had any hawks. Lots of peacocks, plenty of turkeys, and titmice, loons, some ruby troated hummers and a bird of paradise who serves as their leader.

What? The same guy that spent most or the last year telling us all what a lousy guy Allen and Bush were and how great Jim Webb and John McCain is KNEW the Democrats had no hawks? So why did you think Jim Webb was going to work out ok when you knew his military credentials would not be backed up at all by anyone else in his party? Give you a little hint. Who controls the Congress controls the agenda. Doesn't matter even if Webbs heart is pure Conservative Gold. He will only get to vote on things the rabid Leftist allow on the floor.

If she chooses Hastings as chairman do you think the MSM will inform their readers that he's an impeached judge? When pigs fly!

I will make it clear to you. YOU are not the person I was talking about. I have been mailed all day from some lib stalker who hasn't got the guts to talk in an open forum and I was still irritated. Sorry

Speaker-Elect Nancy Pelosi demonstrates how the phlanges of the Socialist International work:

"...on this hand, we have the Worker's World Party, Not In Our Name, World Can't Wait, and the various Baathist and Latin American authoritarian socialists; on this hand, we have the Democratic Socialists of America, the House Progressive Caucus, MoveOn, ACORN, and the SEIU. Two hands, working together to strangle the bourgeoisie!"

"Nancy Pelosi wants total party discipline,"

So, she really is into that leather-and-domination San Francisco
thing, isn't she!?
