"Pelosi draws protest outside fund-raiser
Chanting “Listen to the people’’ and “Go back to San Fran,’’ about 20 activists from the Tea Party Movement protested US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s appearance yesterday at a downtown Boston fund-raiser. The demonstrators gathered outside the Liberty Hotel were largely motivated by their opposition to President Obama’s health care bill, holding signs bearing messages like “60 percent of the people say no’’ and “Reconciliation - Unforgivable - Unforgettable.’’ Pelosi, a Democrat from California, was helping to raise funds for US Representative Carol Shea-Porter, Democrat of New Hampshire.
--more--"
Oh, I remember her!
2006: "Shea-Porter won with a grass-roots, fiery message centered on opposition to the Iraq war and the president's agenda."
Now: "Shea-Porter also promised to continue fighting for new contracts at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and to draw the U.S. Air Force Cyberspace Command computer project to vacant property there."
"Shea-Porter also supports building more F-22s"
That's the ANTIWAR Shea-Porter, folks.

Not very antiwar at all, are they?
"two-term Democratic incumbent Carol Shea-Porter, whose favorability ratings have plunged since last fall, appears to be in the most peril. Democrats and Republicans enjoy roughly equal party registration in New Hampshire, but independents are a plurality that holds the balance of political power in the state. Shea-Porter fares poorly with self-identified independents in the WMUR poll."
That's what happens when you sell out.
And that includes you, Pelosi.
What a failure for the first female speaker.
