Reply #158: I love Pelosi

I think she is the best thing that has happened to Democrats in a long time. I think she has sincerely tried hard to make changes. I think the problem lies with a group of faceless, nameless folks in the house, with a D behind their names, that don't always support her 100%. I think the grassroot Democrats need to take a look at the voting records of some of these folks. We also need to keep an eye on the new ones we just sent to Congress. If they don't vote right, we need to have a progressive Democrat lined up with funding to challenge them in the primaries.

Reid, on the other hand, is too quick to compromise. Also, too quick to whine about a majority. A few good scandals (which are just waiting to happen) could change the make up of the Senate very quickly. Maybe Larry Flynn will give us a hand with this. I have my fingers crossed.

I do not believe in blind loyalty to the party. I believe they are suppose to work for us and the American people. I believe in keeping an eye on them and yelling loud if they fail us. And replacing them if they continue to fail us. Blind loyalty does not make for improvement.

Ok. I complain a lot. But as far as being active locally, I have been very active locally. I think the idea that DU is made up of complainers that aren't active locally is pure BS.
