S.F. CHRONICLE HAILS NANCY PELOSI’S TYRANNICAL REIGN

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Breitbart:

On Oct. 16, Carolyn Lochhead, Washington correspondent for the San Francisco Chronicle, published an article entitled: “Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)’s leadership style helps her avoid crises like GOP’s.”

In it, Pelosi, who retains her grip on the Democratic caucus despite leading it to historic defeat, is praised for keeping her caucus together in contentious times.

 

She kept it together, all right–by centralizing power, punishing dissent, and, ultimately, by shrinking it.

Pelosi’s tenure as Speaker was one of the worst in American history. She achieved nothing during the first two years, when President George W. Bush was still in office and her only goal was to oppose him.

She did far more once President Barack Obama took office and gave her free reign to write Obamacare, the stimulus, and other laws. The result was a policy disaster, and a backlash that saw Democrats removed from power for the foreseeable future.

 

Along the way, Pelosi became a symbol for everything wrong with Washington. She backed corruption-plagued John P. Murtha for House Majority Leader, undermining Democrats’ promises to clean up Capitol Hill. Her caucus defied her by electing Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD). It was the last time she would tolerate open dissent within her own party.
