One reason Pelosi's popularity has surged here - she's lost clout

[Still a Democrat]

When you have the power of the majority, people have unrealistic expectations. When clout is reduced, they settle for rhetoric.

Nancy hasn't changed. Her position and the way she's viewed here has.

1. nonsense

[madokie]

2. bullshit

[rucky]

3. That doesn't make a bit of sense.

[Still a Democrat]

4. So her fundamental beliefs changed?

How can it be she's so much more popular now?

[RandomThoughts]

5. Clout with who?

I think she has plenty of clout.

6. Horseshit.

This meme might be valid when power is actually lost.

Aka: next month.

7. I think you are on the right track

I remember how vilified she was here 4 years ago when she took impeachment off the table (which would have been a hopeless endeavor).

[Still a Democrat]

9. But now she's popular

Go figure

8. I've noticed this too. We have always been at war with East Asia.

10. Babble.

Ms Pelosi's popularity has improved because we agree with what she is saying now. It was down before because we disagreed with what she was saying then. Is that so illogical?

[Still a Democrat]

11. What did she change her position on? n/t

[bemildred]

12. Are you some sort of illiterate? I didn't say she changed her position on anything. nt

[leeroysphitz]

14. Harsh.

[bemildred]

17. You spend your day refuting false attributions.

Waterboarding is harsh, on the internet, it's all talk.

[leeroysphitz]

24. Just sayin is all.

[bemildred]

25. Likewise. nt

13. Then shouldn't Obama be more popular?

[Kaleva]

16. Only if he's been demoted to Vice President.

[mmonk]

15. Not really. The other Dems are too conservative except the members

of the Progressive caucus. And I will always hold impeachment is off the table against her. However, she's about the best we've got to battle both Republicans and their counterparts in the Democratic Party.

[southernyankeebelle]

18. I never really cared for Pelosi but I have supported her always because she has more balls then any

of her male courterparts and twice as much as Obama. I say you go girl. She is doing the job she was suppose to do from the beginning. Thank god we have a liberal and not one of those f**cking blue dog democratics who are shills for corporate america just like the republicans are.

[Kaleva]

19. I made a similiar observation some months ago.

That the more popular politicians here are those that can't be expected to do much because of the position they currently hold. But once they do get into a position of great influence, the good folks turn on him or her and toss them under the bus for failing to accomplish the impossible.

[bemildred]

20. Nobody made them get up there.

They made a lot of promises and took a lot of people's money. They have nothing to whine about.

[Kaleva]

22. I don't hear them whining.

[bemildred]

23. You don't hear our politicians whining? nt

[Kaleva]

27. If they are, it's being drowned out by the noise on the internet.

[Still a Democrat]

21. !!

We have a winner.

26. you are welcome to your opinion

wrong tho it may be.
