From the Desk of Dick Morris

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is so frantic to prevent a meltdown that would cost the Democrats 100 seats in Congress she’s even hinting she may quit as speaker.
Believe her at your own peril!
She’s already written off 50 seats, but now she realizes she may lose 50 more seats that she thought were in the bag.
I revealed weeks ago that 100 Democratic seats were vulnerable to defeat. This is now accepted knowledge, even by Democrats.
So Pelosi is pulling a trick — a sort of “Mutt and Jeff” routine. You may have heard this trick called the “good cop/bad cop” strategy. It’s the same thing.
To show you how it works, let me give you an example.
Rep. Jim Marshall, a Georgia Democrat, is in a tough re-election campaign. He now publicly declares, “Pelosi was never MY choice for speaker!”
He’s even running ads knocking “San Francisco Democrat” Pelosi and claiming that he mostly votes with the Republicans.
To hear Marshall and his colleagues talk, you’d think they’re not at all like Pelosi, no sir!
But there’s only one problem: They’re lying.
You see, Marshall and his colleagues actually voted for Pelosi as House Speaker.
What’s more, they voted for Pelosi’s $787 billion “stimulus” program, Obamacare, the Wall Street bailout, and the rest of Obama’s big-government agenda.
To save their seats in Congress, Marshall and the other vulnerable Democrats need to run from their records and publicly distance themselves from Pelosi and Obama. If they succeed, they’ll re-elect Pelosi as House speaker.
What does Pelosi have to say about the Democrats who are pretending to bash her? She says, “I just want them to win.” Of course! She’s in collusion with the “Pelosi bashers.”
To add to the game play, The Hill newspaper reports Nancy Pelosi is saying she won’t run for speaker again.
Don’t believe a word she and her Democratic colleagues say!Please Donate
