Nancy Pelosi embodies what is wrong with politics today. She is a liar, a cheat, a bully and takes absolutely zero accountability. Even with George Bush out of office, she still manages to blame him for her mistakes.
But when Bush was in office, it seemed like the only thing she did was bash Bush. On September 29, 2008, she gave a disgustingly partisan speech, during a debate of the the Wall Street crisis. In her speech, she blamed George Bush for the crisis, claiming "reckless economic policies", "fiscal irresponsibility" and an "anything goes economic policy."
A few quotes from the Nancy Pelosi speech of Septmber 29, 2008:
"[W]hen was the last time someone asked you for $700 billion? It is a number that is staggering, but tells us only the costs of the Bush administration's failed economic policies — policies built on budgetary recklessness, on an anything-goes mentality, with no regulation, no supervision, and no discipline in the system."
"Democrats believe in the free market, which can and does create jobs, wealth, and capital, but left to its own devices it has created chaos."
"Democrats insisted that legislation responding to this crisis must protect the American people and Main Street from the meltdown on Wall Street. The American people did not decide to dangerously weaken our regulatory and oversight policies. They did not make unwise and risky financial deals. They did not jeopardise the economic security of the nation. And they must not pay the cost of this emergency recovery and stabilisation bill."
"Today we will act to avert this crisis, but informed by our experience of the past eight years with the failed economic leadership … We choose a different path. In the new year, with a new Congress and a new president, we will break free with a failed past and take America in a new direction to a better future."
John Boehner, the Republican minority leader, said after the failed vote that "I do believe we could have got there today, had it not been for this partisan speech the Speaker gave. The Speaker had to give a partisan voice that poisoned our conference."
That speech is a prime example of her ineffectiveness as house speaker. Ms. Pelosi has no interest whatsoever in reaching common ground, for the common good. Nancy Pelosi is all about dissension, blaming, and partisan politics. She can't seem to shut that venomous, botox tightened hole she calls a mouth.
Pelosi has come to represent, and lead the modern day liberal movement, full of spite, hate, and greed. In an attempt to gain more power, to twist our fine country into the liberal utopia she envisions, and to please special interest groups, and organizations like moveon.org, Pelosi will stop at nothing.
