GOP election tactic: Scare voters with Pelosi Chairmanship...
'(09-16) 04:00 PDT Washington -- The Republican national chairman said Friday that his party's campaign to keep control of the House in the November midterm elections will focus on what he called the dangers to America if San Francisco's Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi becomes speaker of the House.

It's a strategy Republicans already are deploying across the country in some of the hardest-fought contests. But analysts, pointing toward the political problems President Bush has created for his party, question whether the tactic will work.

A Democratic-controlled House led by Pelosi, derided by Republicans as a "San Francisco liberal'' since she was elected House minority leader in November 2002, would approve policies that would "weaken America,'' Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman said at a breakfast with reporters.'

1. Yeah, no offense but there are a lot of people who don't..
know the Vice President is Dick Cheney, I'm not too worried about that strategy.

5. I don't know - that might strengthen it
I mean if they stop at saying her name we are safe, but I assume they are going to define her as well, and probably not in a way we would like.

3. I got Repuke propaganda in the mail........
It states just that, it has a picture of Pelosi with Brad Ellsworth on as a marinette ans says "Who's pulling BRad Ellsworth strings?" also say that "Brad Ellsworth could put Democrats in control of Congress"...bonus for us.

The propaganda also shows that repukes are still using the "Cut and Run" and "amnesty to immigrants" as well as that Democrats, if they gaing control over congress will "Raise Taxes." Same noise as usual, witout raising taxes FAIRLY we would never pay of Shrubs historical monsterous debt he has sank the nation into.

necessary to win this election, she won't have to worry about being speaker.
