Â
Clift told Pelosi many liberals didn’t expect bargaining and pussy-footing, but a full-speed-ahead socialist push.Â
CLIFT: If you look at liberals these days, they are restive, disappointed, and as we speak here today, the president is ready to send more troops to Afghanistan. You’ve got a health-care bill where the public option may or may not survive, you’ve got some challenges on the reproductive-rights front.
Â
PELOSI: We’ll get those done.
Â
CLIFT: How do you deal with the liberals, your people?
Â
PELOSI: Well, we have a big tent in our party. And I was elected to represent my district and others were elected to represent their districts. [But] I always say, what are the three most important issues facing Congress? Our children, our children, our children. So, if you look at it that way, we are a pretty homogeneous group.
