Conservative Dem lawmaker jokes about Speaker Pelosi dying

Democratic Rep. Bobby Bright (Ala.) on Wednesday ducked a question on whether or not he would vote for Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) by joking that she "might even get sick and die."

Bright, a centrist Blue Dog who voted against the healthcare reform law, made the comments in response to a question about whether he'd support Pelosi to retain the Speaker's gavel.

Speaking at a local Chamber of Commerce event, Bright "joked that Pelosi might lose her own election, decide not to run for the speaker’s job or otherwise not be available," the Montgomery Advertiser wrote.

He then suggested "jokingly" that Pelosi could fall ill and die in the coming months, thus preventing him from having to vote for her as Speaker. His remarks reportedly drew laughter from the audience.

The chance of dying after getting sick should be considerably higher under ObamaCare.

"The chance of dying after getting sick should be considerably higher under ObamaCare."

ObamaCare doesn't apply to Ruling Class types like Pelosi. It's only for the productive class type wage serfs of America.

I would rather see Pelosi, Reid, and Obama grow older and wiser as they watch the country prosper while their horrible schemes are disassembled. I’d settle for watching them grow old and bitter as they watch the country prosper while their horrible schemes are disassembled. Even with the exceptionally grave damage that these evil socialists have inflicted on my country, I don’t wish death on them . . . but unemployment in the near future is a different story.

According to Rush, he’s the first Democrat elected in the conservative district in a long time. So, he’s allowed to pose as a conservative whenever Nance doesn’t need his vote.

You're right. Anyone who is a true Conservative would not lower themselves to wallow in the sewer called the democrat party.
