"'Basically, she told us how to lie to our constituents at election time,' said a conservative Democratic House member who attended the session. 'It's easy for her; she comes from the goofiest district in America [San Francisco and parts of Marin County]. Some of us actually have to answer for our campaign promises.' "Pelosi's remarks were pegged to a controversial survey commissioned by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which showed Democrats badly behind in some of the most highly contested congressional districts for the 2002 election. 'Worst-case scenario?' says a Democratic staffer who attended the briefing on the survey. 'Republicans gain enough seats to ensure control of the House for the next decade. It's that bad.' "Pelosi's solution, and that of several political consultants at the retreat: run for election or re-election as a Republican. Pelosi is said to have pointed to the example of Mark Warner, who won the Virginia governor's race by recasting himself as a pro-gun, pro-smaller-government conservative. 'She told us many Democrats will be running away from the national party, its issues, and its leaders in order to win,' says the staffer. 'I guess if that is what it takes, so be it. But it's a lousy way to run.' "No one, at least who's a Democrat and who attended the retreat, believes it will be that bad. 'We're not going to win back the House if things hold the way they are,' says the conservative Democratic congressman. 'But you never know. One smoking-gun memo from the Enron investigation that nail Bush and DeLay to the wall, and suddenly we're looking pretty good in those contested districts.'"washtimes.com The Dems have put all their hopes in lying and trying to tie Bush to Enron. The Dems are so corrupt. If they ever ran as the socialists they are - heck most won't even admit to being "liberals" since they discredited that once proud label.
