Being a bitch pays off! I've got proof!

[joeybee12]

Yesterday evening I was reading Josh Marshall's TPM and I got ticked off about his comment about Dean setting up Clark by going public with their discussions. Anyway, I sent off a bitchy e-mail, basically saying he was as bad as Pelosi and her thugs--the knives are out and they can't stand someone outside the beltway crashing into their cozy little world, it's crap like that that makes the Dems the minority party, etc.

Well...got a nasty e-mail back about how us Dean supporters can't take criticism, blah, blah, blah. I sent another nasty e-mail, expounding on Pelosi's blunder in stabbing Dean in the back over comments about Israel. Anyway, Josh later posted something basically saying that he hadn't read the comments by Dean, and the ones by pelosi, but he thought it was a bad idea that the Dems are going after each other. My point exactly!

Maybe other people wrote him, and maybe others contacted Pelosi, because I'm sure you've all seen the article about Dean and Pelosi kissing and making up.

I'm glad I'm a bitch, and I will keep on bitching until some Dems see that the enemy is NOT within their own party!

1. Pelosi...didn't she say....

"I stand shoulder to shoulder with the president"

[joeybee12]

3. "Shoulder to shoulder" comment?

Yeah, I think she did say that after the invasion of Iraq began. At least she was always against it, not like some people--I mean Feinstein (although I could bash Kerry about this right now)--she was very vocal in her oppostion and then voted for the damn resolution anyway!

4. Pelosi did vote for it? Wow ...I thought she hadn't ...cause

when I read the e-mail to her from my Dean Meetup guy he had in there about her voting for it and I thought it was wrong ...that she hadn't..I sit corrected!! :grr:

6. Pelosi voted against the Iraq Resolution

11. Well, I was right in my rememberance of that particular act!

I'm guessing my Dean Meetup guy thought differently! :-(

[Andy_Stephenson]

7. Why?

Was it "politically motivated"? Was she taking the safe route?

12. Makes me sad when "homegirl" Pelosi is trashed...

but I accept with good reason. I really thought this SF homegirl would be different and was a progressive liberal...I was wrong, just another mainstream Dem.

Shocking and sad!

13. I can imagine! And I'm sorry!

15. Oh, my mistake....

I thought this thread was about Babs Bush.

2. Go Bitch Go!

Thanks joeybee! :D

The coordinator of our Dean Meetups wrote a scathing e-mail to pelosi, too! It was Red Hot!

I'm sure she got many many! :kick:

5. In fact it is such a Good well written letter that I am going to post

it ..right here..right now!


TO: Honorable Nancy Pelosi


"As a lifelong Democrat I am deeply disturbed by your high profiled criticism of Governor Dean's policies on the Middle East. Any fair-minded educated person would not have opted to lambaste Governor Dean through the media as you have done. One of the fundamental keystones of leadership is to follow a very simple rule that reads,
"Praise in public. Criticize in private." Anyone who has had any leadership training whatsoever knows this. Most educated people over the age of 21 know this. Moreover, anyone who knows you, knows that you know this as well."

"To call your public assertions pertaining to Governor Dean's positions a thinly veiled political stunt to disrupt Governor Dean's meteoric rise to prominence, would be giving you far too much credit. This can only qualify as a very low and harmful bare-boned orchestration that failed to guise anything, including your abuse of your position as a party leader."

"Your overt castigation of Governor Dean's call for a policy of evenhandedness in the Middle East has only served to underscore how complicit the political establishment has been in failing to earnestly address the situation. Moreover, your attempt to boost the candidate that you endorsed by means of tearing down a fellow Democrat is likely to propagate the type of disunity that allowed George W. Bush to steal the election away from Al Gore in 2000. Lastly, your divisive chide has brought forth the recollection of your personal failure to act as an agent of peace when you had the opportunity to do so. Your decision to grant George W. Bush an unconditional license to lead us into an ill-conceived, wrongheaded war has greatly diminished your authority to speak ill of anyone when it comes to issues of war and peace. You have done us all a terrible disservice."


Sincerely,

10. It wasn't written by me but by the coordinator of my Dean Meetups..

I thought it was really Good, though, and wrote and told him so!

I'll pass along those comments by you two!
Thanks! :-)

9. Great Letter, zdizi!

Thanks for sharing.

[TheYellowDog]

14. Zidzi,

your meetup coordinator's letter was good, except for the last paragraph. He/she should e-mail Pelosi and apologize to her for accusing her of voting for the Iraq war resolution. She did not.

16. I know, yellow dog, I already told him that as soon as I read it....

that I thought she voted against it and being the type of person he is ...I'm sure he will e-mail her back and apologize!

Thank you!
