For the past week Nancy Pelosi (D-Cal.) has been missing in action, ducking any opportunity to appear before the media in the waning days of the campaigns. The reason is not far to find. Pelosi represents one of the most liberal districts, if not THE most liberal district, in the country--the infamous 'people's republic of California' that includes San Francisco. Her views are so far outside the mainstream that voters wince at the prospect of her becoming the next Speaker of the House if the Democrats win control.
Seeking to put a more palatable face on the Party, Democrat operatives have paraded before the public those few candidates who views are consistent with those of the heartland. This tactic would be laughable if it did not work with a few misguided Americans who are vulnerable to such slights of hand.
Pelosi is still there just waiting in the wings. Ted Kennedy is still part of the Party's senior leadership, along with John Kerry (who has also been in hiding), Christopher Dodd, Diane Feinstein (who wants to confiscate your guns), and Harry Reid.
The would-be Speaker of the House emerged from her cocoon today to make a campaign appearance on behalf of Democrat candidates. This comes only after a battalion of news reports surfaced questioning Pelosi's absence.
As if to say, 'Look here! We are not ashamed of our leaders,' the Democrats rolled out Pelosi just 48 hours prior to election day.
I'm glad they are not ashamed of their leftist leaders. Let's hope Americans remember that when they go to the polls.
