Nancy Pelosi's In Trouble

When you have to remind your constituents that you're "on their side", you know you're in trouble. Liberals are rightfully pissed at her and other Congressional Democrats for their multiple failures to do what they promised on the campaign trail. But of course, in typical Democrat style, she tries to offset blame:

Not only has Pelosi restated her calls to end the war in Iraq, she has made passage of an energy and climate change bill a staple of her Speakership.

“This is urgent … the special interests are entrenched,” she said Tuesday. “You have to help jar that loose.”

Wrong Nancy, YOU have to jar that loose. That's YOUR JOB. Does Nancy come to your work and help you do your job? Does she tell you how to deal with the accounting department over your expense reports? Does she help you fix the transmission of a customers car? Of course not, so why can't she do the job she was elected for? Easy, she's trying to deflect blame for Democrats failures and the ensuing backlash that they are rightfully getting at the moment.

Now of course, she's trying to do the "I'll get it right next time, trust me" approach:

In an interview with MyDD.com, a liberal blog, she called the Iraq war supplemental spending bill “weak” and reminded netroots activists that she opposed the bill. She said that the next measure would include “timelines, timelines, timelines” to end the war in Iraq.

Nancy, let's face facts here. You promised to end the "culture of corruption", yet you promoted someone who's suspected of bribery.

You promised to work with Republicans, then you used the same tactics that Republicans used against Democrats in forcing them out of debates on bills, making you a hypocrite.

You promised to end Congressional perks, yet you ask for your ADULT CHILDREN to be able to fly on trips with you on the taxpayer's dime.

You promised to end the war in Iraq, yet here we are after multiple times, the war in Iraq rages on.

You promised a minimum wage increase, which looks like it is/or already has passed, so I'll give you credit for that.

You promised a stronger "work ethic" and "5 day work weeks" for Congressional members, yet have failed spectacularly on that as well.

Can't you see why your constituents are pissed and how you now have to remind them that their votes really meant something?

Perhaps if you kept your word on most of your campaign promises, you wouldn't be in this mess.
I tend to keep my word better than 99% of the time, which is why my life is much smoother then yours.
