I remember Mark Sanford 's prior race for Congress, when he decided to return to politics after he left his wife.
He travelled around South Carolina, a cardboard replica of Nancy in tow, and actually DEBATED cardboard Nancy. He looked silly to me but apparently it worked (that time, anyway).
Last year, the same as this year, all of Karen Handel's television and phone ads told the tale of her democratic opponents being hand picked by Nancy Pelosi in order to spread Nancy's "liberal" agenda. And Georgia certainly couldn't stand for that.
I'm quite sure several other republicans throughout the country borrowed from that silly playbook as well.
I'm so giddy that their constituents stopped buying that nonsense.
Put a fork in it; it's done.

(70,700 posts)ranted the entire campaign about the freaking apocolypse that would happen if she became Speaker. He's the monk of the Middle Ages who single handedly started the Crusades.

(34,170 posts)A few squeaker congressional races do not mean the Peliso-as-devil meme is over.
Its a false narrative that we'll have to continue to fight.
I expect it to get worse as she gets things done in Congress.

(79,302 posts)the point I was trying to make is it stopped working. In that case anyway.
I had to listen to those Karen Handel ads non stop.
I have no illusion that "they" will stop.

(28,819 posts)Now its time to harass another Dem woman.
We can start a pool. I say they will start crap about the freshman women.
Does not matter the target. Anything to get a wedge in there. Although the pukes do love to harass women.

(4,268 posts)The demonization of Pelosi will never end. I expect the trumpublicans to launch an all out right wing radio and tv campaign against her that will not stop even after she has retired. Nothing has been put to rest in my opinion.
Nothing done about this.

(3,205 posts)...They're still demonizing and running against HRC, and she's effectively retired from politics. They can't abide strong effective women, they're stuck in the middle ages trying to burn the witches.

(16,963 posts)on spiteful, ridiculous political dirty tricks, and worked with the Democratic officials, just think how far along this country would be. The r.w. doesn't want to do anything, and they don't want anyone else to do anything either.

(6,699 posts)Rest assured, she is the new target of their anger and vengeance. She, along with ANY OTHER uppity female from the Democratic wing of the government will be vilified and smeared 24/7 from here on out. Its almost funny, if it wasnt so twisted and 😷.

(5,609 posts)don't count on it. Conservatives of all stripes hate her with the heat of a hundred thousand suns. Not likely to change or go away any time soon.
