Why the attacks and disdain of Pelosi?

[Awsi Dooger]

40. I agree with your version

It wouldn't work to same degree with a Harry Reid type and it wouldn't work with a younger charismatic male Democrat.

My right wing friends don't know a damn thing about politics but they darn sure know Nancy Pelosi's name, and summon it whenever stuck in political arguments. I always default to David Brock's book, "Blinded by the Right," in which he emphasized that right wingers despise women in position of power to such extent that conservative magazine sales soared whenever a prominent female was mocked on the cover, and especially if she was associated with liberal politics.

I loved Hillary but she had no margin for error, given the misogyny. Everything had to unfold perfectly. If we nominate another female the same will apply.

Deny at our peril.

Also, you are absolutely correct that 2006 could not have been lost. It is laughable when posters try to pretend otherwise. I am never going to allow situational influence to be sidelined. Nancy Pelosi deserves zero credit for 2006. Zero. Not only Iraq but Bush had been stuck in low 30s to high 30s approval ever since Katrina in late summer 2005. Bush's approval throughout 2006 was lower than Trump's approval during 2018.

Here is the Gallup link so 2006 Bush approval can be checked. Scroll down to look at each weekly poll:
