WASHINGTON, May 18 /U.S. Newswire/ -- House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi joined Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid and nearly 100 House and Senate Democrats today at a unity event on the steps of the United States Senate to protest Republicans' abuse of power. Below are Pelosi's remarks:
"Thank you very much, Leader Reid. I know that I speak for all of my colleagues when I say, 'Thank you Mr. Leader, for helping to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.'
"We come here to join you in this fight. We have been with you since day one because, Senator Reid, as you said in your opening remarks, 'This is the hour of decision for this nation's Senate. It is a historic moment, as well for our country and our country's future.'
"While Democrats are working on an agenda that focuses on the real needs of American families, the Republican Party is busy undermining democracy here at home. This is about our nation's future.
"What the Republicans are doing with their attempt to end the filibuster is to try to silence the minority and break the rules. They are using any means to justify their extreme agenda, even if it violates the rules and destroys more than 200 years of Constitutional checks and balances - not to mention fundamental decency and trust.
"Democrats stand united against the Republicans' abuse of power. We will not let them undermine one of the tenets of democracy - the rights of the minority. And make no mistake: that is what the Republicans are

With every passing day, Nancy is looking and sounding more and more like the proverbial fishwife...
The little surgically enhanced dictator.
You know something? You're right. They must be totally miserable with their lives.
Pelosi: 'Democrats Will Not Be Silenced; We Will Not Be Intimidated by the Republicans'
She might be right. Last I heard, our guys were slinking out of the way so they could avoid reporters and Girl Scouts selling cookies.
Do you hear the might voice of Frist and Delay? I don't either. I thought we won. Right now, we're acting like the French.
Her shutting-up would certainly be a pleasant surprise.
She's a "Lyin' Sack o' Sh#t"
(I hope truth is a defense against what otherwise might be considered abusive speech.)
As Groucho Marx would say of the dems, "I resemble that remark!"
No, you will just 'wither on the vine'.
Her Whole statement summed up in one statement:
Being in the MINORITY is a real bitch(pun intended).
Rumor has it Chrissy Matthews beat the crap out of them tonight.
Our dear Crissy Matthews? I can't believe that!!!!!!
Kermit and his cast go to Washington.
This is her regular weekly, "They are being mean to us" speech. They talk about collegiality and bipartisanship and the she and Harry ("the human turd") Reid say something gratuitously nasty about the Republicans. They simply don't know any better nor see what they do. They are vicious, nasty scumbag, crapweasel dems and when they speak, especially Pelosi, it is a fart in the wind.
"She's an ass..."
I am soryy, she's not an ass. Asses and A##holes serve a purpose. They evacuate waste.
She (It?) is a Hemmerhoid (Sp?)A bloated, painful infected tissue mass that is a blockage to progress
I question the morality of the whole Democrook Party. "The truth is NOT in them." They care less about the economic health of the Country than their personal power in the offices they hold. The Democrooks are a blight on the political scene and I pray they are removed from office, via the next national elections.
Pray for W and Our Troops
No doubt she won't shut up. She won't be silenced... but she's about to be out voted. Let her whine.
Gosh. I hope Democrats don't get "silenced." That would mean that we'll miss their daily statement concerning being silenced.
