The liberal media has tried to claim there is a civil war happening within the GOP but its the Democrat Party that is having the real civil war. Conservative Democrats want someone besides Pelosi to be the speaker next year. This is funny since it will be a Republican who will be speaker next year after the November midterm elections. In other words, these Democrats are 4 years late and a dollar short. The Hill <http://thehill.com/homenews/house/120977-conservative-dem-wants-skelton-over-pelosi-as-speaker> reports: If Rep. Gene Taylor had his way, Rep. Ike Skelton would replace Nancy Pelosi as Speaker next year. Taylor told The Hill that he’d like to see Skelton, a Missouri Democrat and chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, succeed Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) if Democrats retain a slimmer hold on the House after the November elections. Taylor’s suggestion reflects a broader sentiment among conservative Democrats that Pelosi is too liberal and indicates she may not win unanimous support from the caucus in 2011, as she did in 2007 and 2009. A number of House Democrats in tight re-election battles, including Reps. Bobby Bright (Ala.), Walt Minnick (Idaho), and Chet Edwards (Texas), have not committed to voting for Pelosi as Speaker. “My ideal candidate for Speaker would be Ike Skelton,” Taylor said in an interview. He is one of a handful of conservative House Democrats in relatively safe seats who are likely to return next year whether or not the party is in the majority. Republicans have again targeted Pelosi and tried to tie Democratic candidates to her agenda, even those like Taylor who have opposed most of the party’s big-ticket items, like healthcare reform and climate change legislation. Taylor did not answer directly when asked how he would respond if Republicans tried to recruit him to switch parties. “What I would want is a Democratic nominee for Speaker that is much more in tune with what I believe,” he said. “Quite frankly I haven’t seen that the last couple years.” Add a comment to this post<http://scottystarnes.wordpress.com/2010/09/27/conservative-democrats-want-pelosi-to-step-down-claims-she-is-too-liberal/#respond> <http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gocomments/scottystarnes.wordpress.com/10989/> <http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/godelicious/scottystarnes.wordpress.com/10989/> <http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gofacebook/scottystarnes.wordpress.com/10989/> <http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gotwitter/scottystarnes.wordpress.com/10989/> <http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gostumble/scottystarnes.wordpress.com/10989/> <http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/godigg/scottystarnes.wordpress.com/10989/> <http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/goreddit/scottystarnes.wordpress.com/10989/> [image: WordPress] WordPress.com <http://wordpress.com/> | Thanks for flying with WordPress!
