I agree Opi, Pelosi is a hag and when the Dems win in 2014 (which they will, thanks to the tea party wing), I hope she is not speaker.
She is a piece of trash and everything that is wrong with the Democratic Party. Id like to see some Blue Dogs get into positions of authority and pull in the House and Senate.
The overly right and overly left attempts to govern in the last 13 or so years have left the average joe and jane in a mess.
But this is an example of the best and brightest NOT running for political office, because of the political system which DOESNT address the issues, but instead address what they do in their personal lives or what church they go to.
Which is why I would never and could never run for office.
1) I dont want my family run through the muck
2) I am not a Christian, nor do I follow any creed from the desert, so instantly Im not 'Mericuhn enough (I am American enough, though..but that doesnt get you anywhere in our political climate.)
Harry Reid needs to go too. Fresh faces are needed all around (cough term limits cough).
