Color me naive, ignorant, uninformed....

I stand behind Nancy Pelosi and it makes me sad and sick to see her being kicked around.

I don't envy her position. But I would love to have what it must have taken for her to rise up to and stand where she does today. She is a politician. She is educated. She is experienced. She's worked her way to the top. And, she is a progressive.

We, as progressives, are about humanity.
We, as progressives, are about diplomacy.
We, as progressives, are about turning our very corrupt government and damaged country around.

I don't know what all is on Nancy's plate - but I imagine there is no platter large enough to hold it all. Her calm, rational, and confident diplomacy is what we wanted and asked for. Now we want Madame Speaker to take on the persona of a repug child?

I, for one, have more confidence in the slowly turning wheels of justice than overnight justice delivered via kicking and screaming. Corruption can happen quickly. Justice takes her time.

We've turned the House and we've turned the Senate.

Democracy IS at work.


One last thing - Had Nancy put impeachment on the table straight out of the gate, the "power grabbing Speaker vies for higher seat, etc..." puke spin would have demeaned her authority, and diminished her capacity, as Speaker, to effect change, imho.
