"Democrats Seek Separation from Nancy Pelosi": Reminds Me of John Lennon's Famous Line, "It Feels Good. It Feels Like a Divorce."

The "separation" headline is from today's Politico.com (link to full story bottom), which details how many House dems are running from Creature of the House, Nancy Pelosi, as fast as they possibly can as they gear up for their re-election campaigns for the November midterm elections. The Lennon quote came following the Beatles' breakup in the early 1970's, and I think that for many of those House dems, it must also be a "good" feeling to toss a few jabs at Pelosi in their current radio and TV ads. Pelosi, after all, may be the most unpopular political figure in the country these days -- certainly much more unpopular than Obama.

But as "good" of a feeling as it might be for some of these dems to distance themselves from Pelosi this fall, I do hope their constituents take this stuff for what it is (a purely political campaign ploy) and see right through it. Because none of the dems in the House, for whatever claims they make to the contrary, is in any way "independent" of Pelosi or has ever stood up to her in any meaningful fashion.

I can still recall the pathetic sight of House dems during the House's passage last year of the massive Cap'n Trade monstrosity without anyone reading it first (recall Pigsnout Waxman introducing hundreds of pages of new amendments on the morning the House voted on the bill). That day, a whole host of House dems were lined up desperately hoping that their vote would not be needed to pass the bill so that they could ultimately vote "no" on the unpopular legislation. Things were little different with the awful and equally massive health care bill. Gee whiz, that's showing some real "independence from Pelosi". Not!

My bottom line to dem House member constituents everywhere: Despite the fun that your dem congressperson may be having trying to claim independence from Pelosi this fall, don't buy it. It's a falsehood. And the fact that they are trying to convince you of it should be insulting to your intelligence.
