Nancy should learn it's not wise to take a position on an issue important to your district that's totally in opposition to the views of your district.
Pelosi's opposition to cannabis is like if a Congressman or Congresswoman from Texas came out in favor of strict gun control.
she's against Prop 19???? You've gotta be kidding me? What a traitor.
This is what I mean when I say that the Dems that we support have no b@lls.

TBF the overwhelming majority of elected officials in the state oppose 19 not just Pelosi - the most prominent current California politicians who support 19 are Pete Stark, Barbara Lee, George Miller, Tom Ammiano, and Mark Leno.

However, cannabis is important enough of an issue that Pelosi's chances of losing her job are quite high, and even Pelosi's own camp is projecting a victory by a much smaller margin than in the past. It's increasingly looking like a toss-up.

Dennis is pro-Prop 19 AND supports the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act (which Pelosi has done nothing to try to repeal) and the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell. If he defeats Pelosi, which he very well could, that would be the most important political upset in the US - and would send a message to both parties.

Awesome poll.

Reid let Obama get away with the Vegas bashing at the same time he was blindly leading everyone into the Healthcare takeover so he's not very bright.

Pelosi told a group of illegals they were more patriotic than US citizens. I agree with the Botox on the brain comment.

Frank has probably cost the country more than the rest with Fannie and Freddie. But I actually felt sorry for him in his debate. Wascally Wabbit looked like he'd have given just about anything for a hole to jump into.

Christ...I mean really, can anyone trust a guy thats been a dem then a pub then independant? We all know politicans are unethical, but good gosh...so blatant!

Grayson is so arrogant and smug that he would be my second pick but please forgive me I have to add one more.

When Boxer dressed down a Four Star General for addressing her as Ma'am...that blew my gasket. She is the epitomy of the snobby elite in my book.


I feel like a kid in a candy store TEE HEE!

Then why is he so busy on the campaign trail? He is working like it was, but you seem to be saying that he is just "helping" out of the goodness of his heart instead of trying to solve any problems facing him.

And Rush made that observation yesterday on his radio show that if the GOP continues down the Charlie Crist and John McCain path, the GOP will become the 3rd party and a new conservative party would replace the GOP
The Republicans are less likely to reach across the aisle? Care to provide example of the Democrats reaching across the aisle? Besides locking the Republicans out of meetings and making false claims that they provide no solutions to anything.

Crist is not a Democrat but an independent and a voice of sanity in comparrsion with the Republican plutocrats.
