But you've lost me on this.

Yes, the OP is clearly an unjustified attack on Pelosi. Around here, Pelosi is often derided as part of the political elite. And also around here, there is a growing chasm between two camps that shall not be named.

I think a lot goes on behind the scenes that we are not witness to...the making of the sausage, if you will. Pelosi has been exceptional at keeping her caucus together. I find tremendous value in that. I'm in that camp.

I'm also in the camp that has noticed that since it is against TOS to relitigate the primary, some folks have found clever ways of continuing the battle through hit pieces. Like this one.

Beyond that, while I respect the passion with which you express your politics and your ethics...I don't understand your beef with my post.

Peace.

This shouldn't be about politics. It should be about doing what is right. berni_mccoy May 2017 #9

But she never said "impeachment is not an option" Foamfollower May 2017 #13

She said she doesn't subscribe to it. berni_mccoy May 2017 #16

Now you are getting closer to the reality of what she said. Foamfollower May 2017 #20

SHE should be a LEADER calling for it, not demurring on it. berni_mccoy May 2017 #23

BULLSHIT! Foamfollower May 2017 #26

Now you are contradicting yourself. Since you are concerned with the politics of it berni_mccoy May 2017 #30
