Democrat: Pelosi might die before I have to vote for her
Bobby Bright, a supposedly conservative congressman in Alabama joked with his constituents at a Chamber of Commerce meeting that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi might be dead by the time he has to vote for her as Speaker next year. Ha-ha, backclaps all around.
But it was an attempt to deflect the fact that he would indeed have to vote for Pelosi – hell, she might be kidnapped by amazonian lesbian aliens before January, too, but failing that event, Bobby Not-So-Bright would vote for her to be the Speaker. Obviously whoever asked the question was concerned about Pelosi returning to her gavel next year, and Not-So-Bright made a joke out of the answer.
Even if Bright’s constituents vote for him because he’s conservative, they’re still going to get Nancy Pelosi. If Bright votes with Republicans on every single issue, they still have Nancy Pelosi who will decide which issues are put to a vote.
I don’t give a rat’s furry ass how conservative a congressman is, if he’s a Democrat, he helps them get a majority and puts Nancy Pelosi in the Speaker’s chair. And it doesn’t matter who Bobby Bright votes for to be speaker.

This is so right. How many dems do you know that when you ask them their views, they are conservative all the way.
Who this guy aligns himself with is all that matters.
I can absolutely guaranty she’ll die before I vote for her…
In humor there is a grain of truth.
He’s my congressman…but not for much longer. He won by the narrowest of margins last election, and this is a conservative district.
He won’t be there next year; I think we could have run a wombat against him and won. Instead we have a female conservative named Martha Roby to take him on.
She rolled in hot on the Pelosi comment today: http://www.martharoby.com/martha-roby-on-bobby-brights-pelosi-comments.xhtml
