Speaker Pelosi Leaves S.F. Protesters Hanging

AP) SAN FRANCISCO -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi brushed past peace activists Monday who camped outside her home overnight to demand that Congress stop funding the war in Iraq.

The small group confronted Pelosi and asked for a meeting at about 6:30 a.m. as she hurried to a waiting vehicle without stopping to speak. "My home is my home," Pelosi curtly told the protesters before being driven away.

The activists gathered outside the speaker's Pacific Heights home were the remaining few of a group that marched Sunday across the Golden Gate Bridge to meet with the Democrat.

"San Francisco has been against this war from the very beginning," said Toby Blome, 51, a physical therapist from El Cerrito who organized the Sunday event. "This is our fifth year of the war, and Nancy needs to wake up and represent San Franciscans."

The group was stopped Sunday evening outside Pelosi's house and told the Speaker would not see them.

The rally was the most recent "occupation" activists have staged in lawmakers' home communities and offices in recent weeks. Democrat U.S. Rep. Rahm Emanuel's office in Chicago was targeted on Thursday, and peace activists dressed in pink showed up recently at the Senate offices of presidential hopefuls Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y.

"Speaker Pelosi shares the concerns of the protesters about the disastrous war in Iraq. The Speaker has put the House of Representatives on course to chart a new direction for the American people and the war in Iraq," Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said in a statement.

On Wednesday, about 20 demonstrators gathered outside Pelosi's San Francisco office—but before they could enter, a staff member ushered the group down to a conference room seven floors below, where many voiced frustration that Pelosi was not being aggressive enough in seeking an end to the war.

Other recent protest targets include Reps. Marcy Kaptur of Ohio and David Obey of Wisconsin and Sens. Richard Durbin of Illinois and Barbara Mikulski of Maryland. All four Democrats voted against the 2002 measure authorizing the war.

Did she ever have a word to say when the moonbats did this to Karl Rove?

"My home is my home,"

Not anymore. Now it's moonbat central.

"The Speaker has put the House of Representatives on course to chart a new direction for the American people and the war in Iraq,"

Well, that sounds good except that GrannyNanny Pelosi and her Democrat Party are charting that "new direction" in a leaky rowboat with one oar, having discovered that the American people outside SanFrancisco aren't the loser weenies that San Francisco libs are and don't want to cut-and-run, creating a bloodbath in the mideast and damaging our national credibility for a long, long, long time.

This is our fifth year of the war, and Nancy needs to wake up and represent San Franciscans."

Hey buddy, she's Speaker of the House. That means she has to represent all Americans, not just liberal San Franciscans. I know, ain't it terrible to be you now?

"San Francisco has been against this war from the very beginning," said Toby Blome, 51, a physical therapist from El Cerrito who organized the Sunday event. "This is our fifth year of the war, and Nancy needs to wake up and represent San Franciscans."

Like most pinhead liberals in Frisco (I say that just to irritate them. It's the "city" or San Francisco).... they don't understand a republican form of government.  She does represent them when she votes as a congresswoman, but she must represent the country when acting as the Speaker of the House, not FRISCO.

As my dad has a saying for times like this....

"You made 'em. You carry 'em."

[LibKill]

ROTFLOL!

Nancy, they are going to EAT you! If you're lucky they will cook you first.

"San Francisco has been against this war from the very beginning," said Toby Blome, 51, a physical therapist from El Cerrito who organized the Sunday event. "This is our fifth year of the war, and Nancy needs to wake up and represent San Franciscans."

So he wants her to get wasted on drugs and babble incoherently? I don't know about the former, but she certainly does the latter, therefore, I think she does represent San Franciscans already.

Did she ever have a word to say when the moonbats did this to Karl Rove?

Or when they rolled the faux hero, Max Cleland, up the road to the Southern White House with 100 photographers and the words media watching?

"my home is my home"

On the other hand, she wants US citizens to share their home with ILLEGALS.

[hardworking]

I hope Mayor Nutbomb kindly orders a porta potty to be placed at the curb in front of 'her home' for the convenience of these civic-minded patriots!

[Blind Eye Jones]

"My home is my home"

No it isn't Nancy. Now that you owe allegiance and support to WACKOS everywhere, they own you! Don't forget it or Cindy will be camping out in your living-room. And Cindy has every right to do that in the Commie America you ended up supporting.

The truth is there's really nothing she or the other RATS can do about it. BWAAAAAAAHHAHAHAHAHA!!

[Stultis]

"Speaker Pelosi shares the concerns of the protesters about the disastrous war in Iraq.

The concern, of course, being the threat of VICTORY by American and her allies.

[Kitten Festival]

For once, i sympathize with La Pelosi. Leftwing garbage is trash that needs to be taken out, no matter whom it's plaguing.

[stboz]

Little people are sooo annoying....especially when they squish between your toes.

[sageb1]

The Dems are desparate to get as far away from the left as possible. It's a strategy thing. We need to keep pushing them back together.

[petertare]

How many scurvy dope smokers did Pelosi hang? All of them? Are there that many trees? I suppose so since Frisco is big in dirt day and such.

Now that is the mark of a leader--ACTION.

Hanged em all. Just dang.

[Intolerant in NJ]

"My home is my home," Pelosi curtly told the protesters before being driven away...now if we could just get Pelosi and her ilk to think in those terms about all the illegal aliens coming into this country - I'll bet she didn't let her front door unlocked when she left the house to be driven away.......
