Pelosi can't please everybody

Seems like Pelosi, and the rest of the Dems for that matter, are finding it more and more difficult to please the far left whaco's as well as stay in what they consider the 'mainstream'. It's gotta be rough not being to take a stand on ANYTHING, because you'll offend some part of your group. Here's an example.........

Anti-war activists take Pelosi to task Minority leader negotiates with lawmakers to her right.

Dozens of heckling, sign-toting anti-war protesters tried to take center stage at the congresswomen's town hall forum on national security -- calling for an immediate de-funding of the Iraq war and impeachment proceedings against President George Bush.

But the practiced Pelosi didn't miss a beat.
"This war in Iraq has been a grotesque mistake in my view -- a tragedy," Pelosi told a crowd of about 1,000 that overflowed the Marina Middle School Auditorium for the event.

Yet, as she explained that she doesn't want to immediately cut funding for those troops already in Iraq, about 40 protesters marched to the front of the stage. They faced the crowd, waving peace signs and a pink banner saying "Nancy, stop funding the war."

Hecklers in the audience chanted "No more money for war."

Pelosi just kept on talking.
