Nancy Pelosi Declares Victory In Defeat

Love her or hate her, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi sure tries to put a positive spin on things, even when most political experts think differently. On Tuesday night, all conservative commentators and pundits agreed that the GOP won the night. However, there were two victories for Democrats in New York State and in California - so being the habitual optimist, Nancy Pelosi declared victory and proceed to call for a vote on health care reform changes as early as Friday. While Nancy Pelosi's words caught some people off-guard, I personally think that she made a wise move - at least for this week. I still believe that the universal health care reform that is making it's way through Congress and supported by President Obama is a mistake, but there is one thing that is completely certain and that is if Nancy Pelosi and President Obama don't pass their health care reform package now, there will be few Democrats left after the 2010 election to try again.

Just like what was the case with President Bill Clinton, the United States is moving quickly back toward conservatism as liberal leaders in the Congress and President Obama try to push old liberal ideas back down the throats of the American people. While I disagree with most of the liberal ideas making their way through Congress right now, I have to take my hat off to lifelong liberals who work against all odds over the decades to try and change America into a socialist nation. I use to think that nothing was more unchangeable than a conservative politician. However, I now believe that lifelong liberals are just as stubborn and maybe even more so than the most conservative thinkers in the United States. The sad truth is that extreme liberalism and conservatism is wrong for the country, but don't waste your breath trying to convince true believes of that fact.

I have watched for years as the far extremes of the Republican and Democratic Party's have taken control of this country. I still believe that most Americans are politically moderate, but because of apathy and a lack of control when it comes to campaign contributions, the United States political leadership has been taken over by two extremely radical portions of each main political party. Now, every time a Democrat is interviewed on television he sounds exactly the same way as President Barack Obama and when top leaders of the GOP are interviewed they sound the same as Rush Limbaugh. I believe that well over 50% of the American public do not fall into the Limbaugh or Obama camp, but too much campaign cash and twisted all or nothing ideologies have taken this country to complete polarization.

Tonight, the blood of millions of conservatives is boiling - because Nancy Pelosi rained on their victory parade today when she declared Tuesday night's election results as a win for Democrats. I believe that Nancy Pelosi is already living on borrow time as the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives - because I can already feel the political wave of America swinging back to the GOP each day. It really does not matter, politically, anymore if Obama health care passes the Congress and is signed by the President - because democrats have already lost the next major nationwide election. While Nancy Pelosi might find it easy to smile and declare victory today, it will be something else entirely when the Democrats lose control of the U.S. House of Representatives in 2010 and she is forced to give up her big office, private government jets and big seat in the U.S. House Chamber.
