Scarborough on Pelosi

[JHan]

65. Since I said you acknowledged the smears , why are you saying that I misrepresented you?

1) You acknowledged the smears.

yet the smears hold power for you because you are concerned how less informed people buy into them - then the problem is not the people who are the subject of those smears, but low information voters, or people motivated by more sick reasons ( racism , sexism etc) That is the point *I* am making. To be crude about it, I care that stupid ideas and memes are spread, which undermine the party in the long run.

Once more, telling me that politicians have a life cycle is pointing out the obvious - I never argued they didn't have a life cycle, I don't think Nancy Pelosi should be speaker forever. I want her opponents to be serious about putting a challenge to her, instead of expecting her to do the work for them. I WANT effective Democratic congressional leaders and we have had one in Pelosi.

"We do not have a solution for it. Nothing you have advocated has been effective to date." - What advocacy? I am not here as some official advisor to the Democratic Party, we're having a chat on an internet forum about the ways leaders are framed.
