77. Are you comparing Pelosi to Conyers?

It's up to a Democratic nominating committee to appoint a congressperson to a Standing Committee.

If his constiuents keep voting him into office, and his peers continue to support him in that position, then why should he step aside?

So can you tell me how Pelosi is "part of the problem" and what exactly the problem is that you see her being part of?

Also - the Caucus selects the whip and floor leaders - not Pelosi, so how is it that "she is surrounding herself' with with "older people" when she only gets one vote?

You have made some statements that indicate they are based on incomplete or faulty information on how the selection process works. Note, I didn't call it ageism or sexism - just factually deficient.

And of course when she makes an effort to expand leadership opportunities to less experienced people, you call it a "jive vice chair bone" which clearly indicates that you think she's also worthy of criticism. Sounds like she's damned if she does, and damned if she does.

Why is that?
