Where’s Nancy?

Why is this woman hiding?
Could it be because the Democrats don’t want undecided and “I’m staying home” voters to be mobilized to vote? SURELY there’s nothing to be concerned about if she becomes “Speaker Pelosi,” right?
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi would bring to the office a level of left-wing liberalism that will be unprecedented. In the National Journal’s 2005 ideological ratings, which were based on scores of votes, Mrs. Pelosi was ranked more liberal than 91 percent of her House colleagues on economic issues, 96 percent on social matters and 82 percent on foreign-policy issues. Here are her relative rankings (economic, social, foreign) for 2004 (93, 88, 81), 2003 (92, 89, 70), 2002 (88, 84, 90) and 2001 (94, 83, 93).
Until she received a 95 percent liberal rating in 2005 from the Americans for Democratic Action (the nation’s pre-eminent liberal organization), Mrs. Pelosi had racked up five consecutive years (2000-04) of 100 percent ratings. Her lifetime ADA rating is 96 percent. Last year, the American Conservative Union gave her a 0 rating. Her lifetime ACU rating is 3 percent.
Or maybe they don’t want you thinking of some of the things she’s said in the past?

Out of sight, out of mind? Awww, why would you want that? Her record speaks for itself! What, don’t you want a Speaker who works so tirelessly on her agenda?

Where are they now?
Somewhere in a super secret liberal bunker in a Taliban controlled mountain of Afghanistan…
“So when do we come out of hiding Nancy?”
“That’s Speaker to you Harry, and it will have to be after the 7th now. What with Kerry opening his bi …

I disagree with your assessment of a Pelosi Speakership. Due to the nature (i.e. moderation) of some of the (hopefully?) freshmen Congressmen, I feel that she would have to temper her liberalism. A Speaker still has to maintain some semblance of fairness. You should be worried about the Majority Leader, who will really set the agenda.

I’m sure she is hiding in her office. Which is in the basement of a queer brothel in San Fransicko.
