Nancy Pelosi--The Extreme Moderate (from the LA Times)

Tweet "During a recent trip home to hear what was on his constituents' minds, Yarmuth heard about Iraq everywhere he went — and the calls were almost uniformly for withdrawal, without patience for nuances like the nitty-gritty of Congress' constitutional powers. On Iraq, he sensed his constituents were actually more extreme in their views than either he or the House Democratic leadership was.

"The back-home experiences of Yarmuth and many of his colleagues give the lie to "Pelosi fear-mongering" — the idea that the speaker from San Francisco is marching congressional Democrats down an extreme path on which their constituents don't want them to walk.

Later in article:

"It's the liberals in the party, not the moderates, who are dissatisfied with the new Pelosi order. "People are saying, 'When will it be our turn?' " liberal Rep. Raul M. Grijalva (D-Ariz.) told the Politico, a new publication for political junkies, last week, complaining about his progressive colleagues' growing sense that they play second fiddle to the less numerous and more moderate Blue Dog Democrats. One Blue Dog recently exulted that "they did everything we asked" on the 2008 budget resolution. Budget Committee Chairman John M. Spratt Jr.'s (D-S.C.) bill matched President Bush's defense funding request, strictly limited the entitlement spending so beloved by liberals and instituted tough pay-as-you-go rules that moderates had championed.

But look what the NYTimes said about this subject:

"The timing of the spring break this year — shortly after the vote — might have set up members of Congress like Mr. McNerney for charged confrontations from constituents. But judging from conversations and interviews with voters and lawmakers across the country this week[OH, YEAH? THEY DIDN'T ASK ME--OUR REPS DON'T DO TOWNHALLS], in many cases it seems that the war has simply taken its place alongside other voter concerns: not necessarily at the forefront, but often simmering in the background. But as Mr. McNerney found, the issue can flare up at a moment's notice."

Just wanted to point out what liars the NYtimes people are.
