Nancy Pelosi Wants to Lead. House Democratic Candidates Aren’t So Sure. (Rat spat alert)
NY Times ^ | March 18, 2018 | Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns

A few hours after Conor Lamb, the Pennsylvania Democrat, claimed victory in a House race with a vow to oppose his party’s leader, Nancy Pelosi, the once-and-perhaps-future speaker was explaining to a group of female congressional candidates why she did not retire after 2016.

She intended to do so after Hillary Clinton won, Ms. Pelosi recalled Wednesday at a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee reception here. But she stayed to ensure Washington had at least one woman in power.

To some lawmakers in the room who described her remarks, the message was clear: Ms. Pelosi is not going anywhere - a point she underscored in an interview.

A huge champion of the poor, Nancy Pelosi’s $22 million Napa home boasts tennis courts and a Bocci ball court. She is lucky enough to also have a helicopter landing pad.

Being poor is GREAT! Just not for Nancy...

A political creation of unions, she employs ZERO union people at her vineyard and at her luxurious bed & breakfast, Auberge de Soleil, where a buger and fries will set you back $22 before tax and tip.

The same is true of the 16-branch, upscale restaurant chain Pelosi partners in, Piatti, located in 5 states in the USA, shown below. Of the nearly 1,000 employees working there, ZERO are members of a union.

Employing union people is FANTASTIC..!!! Just not for Nancy.

Must be nice, huh?

Let’s take a look at a different branch of Piatti, the photo below shows their branch nestled in La Jolla:

Pelosi also played a critical role in exempting American Samoa, where 80% of the island works for Starkist Tuna, from a mandatory minimum wage hike, from $5.35 per hour. Advocate For The Poor Pelosi is a major Starkist shareholder, you see.

Bad working conditions, and $5.35 each hour. Sorry Charlie..!

In a single year the bar tab for Pelosi’s huge government plane exceeded $100,000 —one time she diverted it over 1,000 miles in order to pick up a single order of chocolate-dipped strawberries.

In Feb 2018 Chris Matthews claimed the GOP's strategy to maintain its congressional majority was to relentlessly attack Nancy "because she is an ethnic sort of person".

Behold the highly ethnic, hard-scrabble Pelosi clan below, decked out in gangsta finery in South Central Napa Valley:

Of course. So far, what I've seen of the female Democrat politicians is self-centeredness and the willingness to say or do just about anything to advance their careers. Men do the same, but let's just put to rest that women are somehow morally superior, more compassionate, more honest, or anything else that makes them 'better' in leadership roles.

Hillary - At her best, willing to lie, cheat, and destroy other women to advance her career.

Warren - Lied about her heritage in order to advance her career.

Pelosi - 77 years old, extremely vain, and remains so ambitious and in need of the limelight that she is still fighting to again be the Speaker of the House. Has proven herself to be willing to say just about anything to 'win' in a political sense.

Sotomayor - ""I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn' t lived that life,". Need I say more?

Sheila Jackson Lee - The airplane incident (took a paying customer's first class seat) and her use of the race card to defend herself pretty much captures it. The list goes on and on..

The problem is that a majority keep electing her and her kind.

There is a culture of people who are hard wired to be ruled and enjoy ,or at least willingly accept the super rich, even if it comes at their expense. They are also so freaking stupid that they will believe ANYTHING they say just like a cultist.

I think Nancy and Hillary and Obama should be the leading voices for democrats. After all, they led them to where they are now, do, their voters should be happy with them. ;)

Heck, the liberal voters and the liberal media, still talk lovingly about Hillary and Obama. So, let’s get that triumvirate back to leading their party. Can’t wait!

Barring a major comeback by the GOP, it’s either going to be her or Steny Hoyer as Speaker after November, so pick your poison.

Rick James once observed that “cocaine is a hell of a drug”.Listening to Bella Pelosi drives home the fact that Botox is also a hell of a drug

We are the conservative wave for the midterm election, if we choose to be. Those who want to stop the Democrats from getting a congressional majority will wear the decals and signs without being cowards. The bandwagon approach will work for those of us who have the courage.
