Republicans HAAAAAAATE Nancy Pelosi

[lame54]

And that's good enough for me
She must be doing something right
Go Nancy

[octoberlib]

1. They're going to go after anybody who's House leader. Doesn't matter who it is.

Btw, Neera Tanden tweeted that Conor Lamb had quite a few ads targeting Paul Ryan, his tax reform and his wanting to cut SS and Medicare to pay for it. It worked for us. Lol.

[Skittles]

2. they ESPECIALLY hate a woman

because they are MISOGYNIST ASSHOLES

[BigmanPigman]

37. Don't forget that PUTIN falls into the misogynist catagory!

Strong, powerful women are always his go-to enemy.

[lame54]

5. No no no...

Yes they will go after whomever is in charge

But Pelosi is a special case
She had been DESPISED by working class repugs for the longest time
Long before (and more hated than) Obama

[Squinch]

6. Yes, that's true but not like they go after Nancy. As Skittles says, strong women piss them

off like nothing else does.

[bottomofthehill]

9. Leader Pelosi, Secretary Clinton

They loathe and fear a strong woman.

[Lonestarblue]

28. Couldnt agree more.

Too many people think that any woman who accomplishes a “man’s” job should be forced out of it so that a more acceptable person (i.e., a man) can take it. And just who should be the Speaker if not Pelosi? There are several promising candidates for the future, but none with her legislative experience. Certainly not Tim Ryan, who is a sore loser. I think Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell are promising, but again, how much experience do they have shepherding legislation through the convoluted House processes?

[bdamomma]

45. They (the ole boys club) need to grow up

and we are not going away either.

[Eliot Rosewater]

27. Strong women annoy lots of people, not just republicans.

If REGISTERED republicans were our only problem, we would not have one really.

[Squinch]

32. Yes. You can't overestimate how much our culture hates women, and how much people

like to hide that hatred, even sometimes from themselves.

[Eliot Rosewater]

33. It is partially why it is so easy for so many men to be against women having a right

to their own bodies.

Anti abortion is based in men who dont want women to be able to have sex without permission.

[PatSeg]

23. Yes

Republican operatives created that hate as a political tactic. It pretty much is based on nothing she has ever done or said.

[IronLionZion]

29. They tried connecting Conor Lamb to Pelosi, it didn't work for them

[Honeycombe8]

39. Because Lamb ran an ad saying he didn't like Pelosi. Bill Maher called him out for that.

Instead of standing by another Democrat, he was weak and caved in by saying "Yeah...I don't like her, either." When he should have run a strong ad against the Republicans, particularly about abortion "Some Republicans may say they are pro-life, but it turns out they're only pro-life when it's not for their pregnant girlfriends."

Maher makes a point. Even if Lamb is at odds with some of Pelosi's views, which he probably is since he's moderate and she's progressive, maybe the better approach is to stand up for other Dems, like Republicans do. It looks weak to agree with your opponent's criticism of your own party's leaders.

But it looks like he won, so I guess his ads worked. As long as he supports the Dem Party once he gets into office (except for those couple of issues he takes a different stance on).

[IronLionZion]

43. Dems winning elections helps Pelosi become speaker of the house again

Saying he doesn't like her in a campaign ad doesn't hurt her. He also shoots AR-15s and other stuff that resonates well in that district.

Liking Pelosi in campaign ads might be better in liberal districts.

[Honeycombe8]

44. Agreed. nt

[pnwmom]

31. Correction.

They'll go after any EFFECTIVE Democratic House leader. And the more effective, the more they'll hate her.

[Hortensis]

3. Absolutely! :) Any Dem or Indie the Republicans

aren't bothering to try to turn public opinion against either needs more years to develop into a proper threat to them or is not considered a threat.

You thought you had problems with Democrats BEFORE, Vlad? Just wait.

Yes, Kochsters, you are wise to steal all you can before November 6.

[sarah FAILIN]

4. I've asked why they hate her

No answer.

[lame54]

7. Never an answer

[Glamrock]

14. Here was my answer from a day or two ago....

www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=10368237

[paleotn]

21. The answer I've gotten......

she's just too liberal. My response is....and your point?

[jayschool2013]

25. Checklist

Is she a Democrat? Check.
Is she from a liberal state? Check.
Is she from THE liberal state, California. Check.
Is she from, ahem, San Francisco? Check.
Is she a woman? Check.
Is she a STRONG, SUCCESSFUL WOMAN?!?!?!?!? Check-mate.

[MineralMan]

8. All the more reason to celebrate her audacity and long tenure.

You go, Nancy!

[secondwind]

10. Go Nancy!!!!!!!!!

[MaryMagdaline]

11. YEEEES

[Soxfan58]

12. They HAAAAAAATED Hillary Clinton too...

Mmmmm do I see a pattern here.

[Honeycombe8]

41. They haaaaated Bill Clinton, too. They haaaaaaated Jimmy Carter, too.

They pretty much hate any Democrat or anyone who doesn't agree with their party platform.

[bdamomma]

46. Karma will bite those

who oppose the Democratic platform. It's just a matter of time. We are not going to ride off into the sunset.

[Honeycombe8]

47. Right. It's time to take the country back and save it. GOTV. Every vote counts. nt

[Freethinker65]

13. When Republicans get cornered they spew Pelosi, Hillary, Soros, and California/San Francisco values

as a catch-all counter argument. In other words, the Republicans often have no ability to think and debate arguments without pivoting to people/things they have been conditioned to hate.

[a kennedy]

15. damn right, you go girl.

[eleny]

16. Her competence terrifies them

..... .....

[Ferrets are Cool]

17. Only slightly less than Hillary.

[Wwcd]

18. K & R Yup. Just like every weak immature bully in human history

They resort to mockery & name calling, & compell their cult of idiots to do the same.

Clinton, Pelosi, Feinstein, Warren, ...& many more.

We know exactly why these women are targeted daily.

[Greybnk48]

19. And that's one reason why I LOOOOOOOOVE her!

That and the fact that she brilliant at her job!

[JNelson6563]

20. And the gullible lefties out themselves

every once in a while when they start bleeting right wing talking points about her. I always point and laugh at them, especially the ones on DU.

[floWteiuQ]

22. Agreed....

I want to see their heads explode when she becomes speaker again.

[BobTheSubgenius]

24. I HAAAAATE that...

she isn't Majority Leader.

[Eliot Rosewater]

26. Putin hates her too like he hates Hillary. Others do too, but we cant talk about that

[Kath2]

30. I love her.

Go, Nancy!!!

[hueymahl]

34. They actually love her

They have created nasty characature of her that they use as a wry effective GOTV tool

[Volaris]

35. That's because she can count.

Remember how hard counting was for Speaker Bohener?

[ehrnst]

38. And they try to deploy misogyny when they have no real

criticism of her.

[Cryptoad]

40. Yet another Russian-GOP Shitpot that they want to stir

to create divisive reactions amongst Dems!
PLZ Dont feed the trolls!

[applegrove]

42. Bet they are trying to 1) hate pelosi because they are afraid 2) want to create hatred for

female role models because they know democrats are running many of them.
