You will be asked to lend support when that support may not be what you want to do.

Nancy Pelosi has a massive constituency. She has to address all their needs or find ways to mollify those with needs she sees as counter to the national good.

There will be bills that have a provision you'll not like.

There will be spending authorized for programs with which you disagree.

Governing is a series of compromises.

Our job is to remember who she is, what she stands for, and what she has actually done. Our job is to support her.

1. Spot on, Stinky.

I stand with Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

2. Agreed! As B. Franklin purportedly said:

"We must, indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately."

We are at another critical juncture in our history. Words to the wise.

4. You can't compromise with people who act in bad faith
