Pelosi to start rooting out the DINOs

<snip>
Rep. Nancy Pelosi plans to sideline colleagues who are hawkish on national security in the Democratic leadership in the House.

Democratic Party sources said as House Speaker, Ms. Pelosi plans to block moves that would place hawks into important chairmanships. The sources said a key casualty would be Rep. Jane Harman, a six-term member of Congress who has cooperated with Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee.

"Nancy Pelosi wants total party discipline," a source in the Democratic Party leadership said. "If you played ball with the Republicans during this session, then you're not going to be given an important chair in the next session."

1. Thank God. It's about time.

You get what you deserve. At last!

GO NANCY!!
(And keep that Impeachment file in the drawer under the table, ready to whip out at a moment's notice, OK?)

[Burma Jones]

2. Why are you quoting the Moonies to me?

Insight is a Right Wing Moonie Rag......

They're trying to stir up the pot.

[bryant69]

3. Be interesting to see what comes of that

And, of course, not much chance of that happening in the Senate.

5. The sources on this?

This is highly suspicious.
I'm tempted to alert it on that basis.

[BushOut06]

If it's true, then it's about time

Sorry I didn't check to see whether the source was right-wing or not. If it's not true, then we should know pretty soon. Other than that, I'm not surprised by this. Why would we want to promote those who are working with Bush to undermine the country?

6. GOOD!!

:)

11. it reads with all of the divisiveness Wes Pruden could manage

from his little conservative rag

7. Ahhh - Music to my ears :)

8. ....

:nopity:

[hlthe2b]

12. Landrieu is in the Senate, not the House...

[jus_the_facts]

16. ....

:hi:

[NYCGirl]

26. Bobby Jindal is a Republican. NT

[burythehatchet]

27. Jindal is a repuke.

9. I hope that this is true n/t

[Eurobabe]

10. Laura get a broom, Nancy CLEAN HOUSE!!

I know it sounds sexist, but I think Nancy Pelosi is the best thing to happen to CONGRESS in a hundred years. We women know how to get things done. And she's going to clean Bush's clock.

[helderheid]

13. GO NANCY!

[charlie]

14. I don't know about the rest

but this Pelosi/Harman thing has been going on since 2005. Here's a recent AP article:

15. Why are folks here so willing to accept the word of a conservative rag?

this is ridiculous. Seems to me folks can make up shit like this and post it themselves without relying on conservatives to spread the bile.

[NYCGirl]

17. Because they like the idea of a purge? NT

[bigtree]

25. we need ALL hands to work

[NYCGirl]

29. Exactly. NT

[BushOut06]

19. Spreading the bile?

Again, I apologize for not checking the credentials first. Is it possible to judge the article on its own merits? Why are folks so ready to attack me for simply posting this? I don't see why this is so far-fetched, it makes sense that she would do this. Why promote Bush-sympathizers?

[bigtree]

22. I'll bet you haven't bothered to read as much of Nancy's own words

but, you'll accept these as gospel?

[Burma Jones]

34. I wouldn't judge the article on its merits because it doesn't cite a source

It just says, Democratic Party Source or something equally vague. Pelosi has been very careful to show that she is willing to Govern, not Command. This article basically calls Pelosi a liar and pure partisan hack, willing to trash seniority to cater to the Black Caucus. While the truth may be more subtle, that article is an early attempt to malign Nancy Pelosi.

[seabeyond]

18. but but but i just read a thread she was the DINO and world coming

to an end....

hm

[Fleshdancer]

30. LOL! yep. gotta love DU

It's pretty funny actually...except during Primary season and then it's just scary.

[proud patriot]

20. Yippee !

:woohoo:

[Fleshdancer]

21. I have a good feeling about Rep. Pelosi

She looks so nice and lady like but there's no doubt she's got the fight in her. Total party discipline is extremely optimistic (we ARE talking about the Democratic Party after all :D) but if anyone can clean House, it's her.

[devilgrrl]

23. Insight Magazine?

Insight magazine????

Are you kidding me?

Why not post from the National Review or the Weekly Standard, how about Fox News?

:nuke:

[BushOut06]

36. I AM SO FRIGGIN SORRY

Are you happy now? Godalmighty, I post an article without researching who wrote it (I'm sorry, I'm not quite "up" on who all these publications are), and suddenly I'm being accused of being a goddamned freeper?

Forget it ever happened. Sheesh. I'm sure that Nancy Pelosi is going to reward all these Dems who have stood shoulder to shoulder with Bush.

[devilgrrl]

38. If you're so sorry - change the title of the thread!!!!!!

"I'm not quite "up" on who all these publications are..."

you are now!

[BushOut06]

40. Sorry, not going to do it. Alert my ass if you want

Call me a freeper if you want, I don't fucking care. You want me to go back and change the OP, so people have no idea what all the discussion is about? Sorry, I did that a long time ago, and learned my lesson from that. This story will stand or fall on its own merits.

[devilgrrl]

41. "Alert my ass if you want.."

Done.

Where did I call you a freeper?

[BushOut06]

42. Nice, you changed your post.

You responded "Starting with you?". Obviously inferring I was a DINO or a freeper. I noticed you went back and changed it so that nobody could see that.

[burythehatchet]

24. "...a source in the Democratic Party leadership said"

sure.

[devilgrrl]

31. What do you expect from Insight Magazine????

It's such a credible source! :sarcasm:

[SeveneightyWhoa]

28. Wouldn't trust or believe this for three reasons:

a) This is a Moonie publication (i.e. Washington Times).
b) Anonymous source.
c) Pelosi has said nothing of this sort in public, and her public statements recently go against the sentiment purportedly expressed here.

[devilgrrl]

33. I've got reservations myself.

:grr:

[SouthernBelle82]

32. Good news!

So this makes sense now as to why she favors Murtha over Hoyer for the majority leader (it does feel good saying that!) in the House.

[in_cog_ni_to]

35. LOVE HER!

:applause:

[Individualist]

37. I hope it turns out to be true

but won't believe it until a second reliable source confirms it.

[devilgrrl]

39. Insight Magazine isn't enough of a reliable source?????

Go figure! :sarcasm:
