BREAKING: Boren Calls for Pelosi REPLACEMENT
:mad:


<>



" (CNN) – Rep. Dan Boren, a conservative Democrat from Oklahoma, says he wants outgoing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi replaced as the leader of House Democrats.
“I cannot in good conscience support Nancy Pelosi as Leader. I intend to support a MORE CONSERVATIVE Democrat alternative," he said in a statement.

8. Am I the only one that actually likes Pelosi?
Remember, it's in the Senate, and in the White House, where things got really watered down.

Need I remind you that Pelosi led the charge to pass a health care bill WITH a public option, before the DINOs in the Senate stripped it out?

Pelosi was very effective as Speaker, thank you very much.

19. You are not alone.
And agreed, Pelosi did as good a job as could have been hoped for, with an ineffective senate blocking most of her successes from being implemented.

10. Replacing Pelosi with a "more conservative democrat alternative"
Yeah...nice to see how much the base is considered.

What's right of Pelosi? Leiberman? Is he an option?

12. Why Democrats fail. What is wrong with letting Nancy handle
this in her own time. Nancy would have stepped
down.

Appease the Republicans and let them point out
the Democrats in are in disarray.

14. I support setting Dan Boren on fire and running him out of town on a rail.
His Blue Dog caucus is in shambles and will not come even close to being able to replace Nancy Pelosi.

15. all along, they wanted to push the party to the right
it's even more clear... and what does being conservative mean in the dem party... it means they have no morals, no principles and they are just corrupt shills for big business and the upper class.

17. I wonder if it would be possible to mail him blue and yellow paint...
He can paint himself blue to match the color this his type, and put a yellow stripe down his back to denote the color of his courage.

20. I am reminded of the show "V"
The reptile shed his human skin and you find underneath a
reptile.

As the snake slithers on his belly to the other side of the aisle
to embrace his republican friends

24. Buh-bye, Dan. Time to show Rep. Boren what keyboard activists can do--
Remember that it's Oklahoma, they won't get a Dennis Kucinich-ish primary challenger but they could get someone with a bit of smarts and leftward of of Arlen Spector.

26. Oklahoma is the reddest state in the nation. There were no districts that went for
Obama in Oklahoma. Only a democrat in republican clothing would ever get elected. Don't waste your time, money or energy. We need to target and focus on the ones we can regain and replace in
2012.

27. I Think He Realizes That In 2012 The Rest Of The Blue Dogs Will Be Eliminated From.....
the House and he is looking for some way for the Blue Dogs to grab some power to prevent that from happening.

I disliked his father Senator David Boren but Dan is an even bigger a-hole.
