Saturday, Nov. 19, 2005 10:54 a.m. EST Nancy Pelosi: Pro-Troop Vote 'a Disgrace'

Anti-war House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is blasting last night's 403 to 3 House vote in support of U.S. troops and their mission in Iraq, calling it "a disgrace."

Complaining that House Republicans had engaged in a "deception" by calling for a last minute vote on the Iraq war, the San Francisco Democrat said the pro-troop resolution was "a disservice to our country."

Pelosi said that the "Republican majority has stooped to a new low" by forcing Democrats to go on the record against an immediate pullout.

Her California colleague, House Armed Services Committee chairman, Rep. Duncan Hunter, wrote the resolution, which asked whether members thought "that the deployment of United States forces in Iraq be terminated immediately."

"We're going to let every member answer that, and I hope the message that goes back to our troops in Iraq is that we do not support a precipitous pullout," Hunter said.

Pelosi slammed Hunter's proposal as "a political stunt and should it be rejected by this House" - minutes before she voted with the Republican majority.

So she spoke against the resolution after she voted for it?

[Sofa King]

When you are one of the only three members of your party on the same side of a vote, should you really be the minority leader?

Democrat philosophy 101: Always follow the biggest moonbat.

[ncountylee]

Her district will be deeply saddened (San Franscico).

[thoughtomator]

Pelosi voted against it - she didn't side with the three. If the article is correct, she's denouncing a resolution she voted for.

[Sofa King]

Apparently, showing what you stand for is "a new low".

This article needs to be read by every voter in the country.

I can't tell if dem schizophrenia is communicable or not. I would like to see a real shrink's take on this.

[Jemian]

Pelosi said that the "Republican majority has stooped to a new low" by forcing Democrats to go on the record against an immediate pullout...

How dare they be forced to put up or shut up. We called and they folded. Ha!

Even Murtha didn't vote to recommend immediate withdrawal.

[thoughtomator]

Oops correction... she's denouncing a resolution she voted against that those three were for.

[Brilliant]

Any time Nancy Pelosi says something's a disgrace, you know that something good happened.

Well, at least she's honest. To her, supporting the troops is a disgrace.

[Bahbah]

Outmaneuvered, eh Stretch? Squeal away.

[Sofa King]

Well, that's certainly another definition of liberal leadership.

[neutrality]

Nice out of context quoting by Newsmax

[DogBarkTree]

"she's denouncing a resolution she voted for."
Absolutley amazing. Old Stretch Pelosi cant have it both ways. What a dumb hag.

[woofie]

I wonder whar the vote would have been had the bill had exactly the same wording as Murtha's statements ...also could the Dems have tried to ammend the bill to their liking? did they?

[COBOL2Java]

Pelosi slammed Hunter's proposal as "a political stunt and should it be rejected by this House"

But of course! Don't the Republicans know that only DemocRATs are allowed to pull politcal stunts? You can ask Harry Reid, he'll tell you!

[Bob]

Pelosi said that the "Republican majority has stooped to a new low" by forcing Democrats to go on the record against an immediate pullout.

Forcing?? If dimocRAT opposition to the war, our troops, and their mission were anything other than baldly politically motivated, there wouldn't be any 'forcing' about it.

[Howlin]

LOL.........just LOL @ your posts!

[andyk]

Yep, she voted against it. The three for it were:

Jose Serrano of New York, Robert Wexler of Florida and Cynthia McKinney of Georgia, voted for withdrawal

[jwalsh07]

OK, everybody who would feel confident having Botox Nancy commanding America's armed forces take two steps forward.

[Howlin]

Nice out of context quoting by Newsmax

It sure hurts when it's done to liberals, doesn't it?

Good - and I won't be happy until I see all the Lib lunatics foaming at the mouth in exasperation from even MORE GOP displays of b*lls.

[neutrality]

It's annoying in general

[new yorker 77]

That's a stretch.

[raccoonradio]

With apologies to Sinatra:

If I don't see her each day I miss her
Gee, what a thrill each time I kiss her
I've got a terrible case
On Nancy with the frowning face

She takes the winter and makes it summer
But summer could take some lessons from her
Picture a tomboy in lace
That's Nancy with the frowning face

Have you ever heard mission bells ringin'?
Well, she'll give you the very same glow
When she speaks you would think it was singin'
Just hear her say "hello"

I swear to goodness you can't resist her
Sorry for you, she has no sister
No angel could replace
Nancy with the frowning face

Keep Betty Grable, Lamour, and Turner
She makes my heart a charcoal burner
It's heaven when I embrace
My Nancy with the frowning face

[irons_player]

Nanci you're a bruta disgraziato.

[COBOL2Java]

I can't tell if dem schizophrenia is communicable or not. I would like to see a real shrink's take on this.

Perhaps Charles Krauthammer will weigh in on his next column...

[woofie]

So what is the context? I dont see how this article is off base?

[johnny7]

Her skins been stretched so tight she hums like a overloaded transformer.

[KC_Conspirator]

Pelosi is the disgraceful one. She is from the district that voted military recuriter out.

[proud American in Canada]

Even Murtha didn't vote to recommend immediate withdrawal

LOL! Amazing.

[HawaiianGecko]

	When you are one of the only three members of your party on the same side of a vote, should you really be the minority leader? She voted with the other 402 that voted against it. I agree she's a twit, but let's not rewrite history. This broad's a maroon!

 

 

[Awgie]

"Pelosi slammed Hunter's proposal as "a political stunt and should it be rejected by this House" - minutes before she voted with the Republican majority."

Can we PLEASE see more of this from the repubs. They have got to play political hardball with the demonrats.

[DoughtyOne]

Dang, she's sounding more and more like presidential material from the left. "She spoke out against it, after she voted for it." It's the John Kerry model, shown to be soooo successful in the recent past.

[Ditter]

Anything that gets Pelosi's panties in a bunch is OK in my book! Get on national TV and whine everyday and I'll be a happy Republican.

[Reagan Man]

The objective with the Duncan proposal was to get House members on record. The 403-3 vote speaks for itself.

[Mr. Wright]

Nancy Pilosi and the rest of the liberal left Demmy's need to
listen to the message from the Ghost of General Patton.
I have included the link . . . LISTEN TO THIS MESSAGE . . .
only as General Patton could say it!

[DoughtyOne]

Tell us Nancy, since the vote went 400 to 3 with your vote, not against, what is your problem? Did you cast a dishonest vote? Just wondering...

[RJL]

Pelosi said that the "Republican majority has stooped to a new low" by forcing Democrats to go on the record against an immediate pullout.

I'm sure that the Dems had planned to use the coming two week vacation to press home their, now, opposition to the Iraq war. This has effectively disarmed them.

Well done Mr Speaker.

[InvisibleChurch]

well, THAT is an apt description!

Nancy between votes.

[goresalooza]

At some point, the rats are going to have to learn that THEY ARE NOT IN POWER. The American voters keep telling them but they refuse to believe it as they get slapped over and over.

I see Pella Lugosi's days being numbered in her "leadership" position.

[ark_girl]

That's exactly what I was thinking.

"I voted for the war before I voted against the war.....again."

[Political Junkie Too]

Complaining that House Republicans had engaged in a "deception" by calling for a last minute vote on the Iraq war...

I guess only Harry Reid is allowed to engage in deception by calling for a last minute closed session of the Senate with telling Frist first.

Shame on the Republicans for learning from the Democrats' playbook and using Democrat tactics against them.

-PJ

[fish hawk]

It's a beautiful thing. Got the Dems by the short hair for once. Pelosi ends up looking as stupid as she is.

[neutrality]

She isn't implying it's a disgrace House voted to reject the pullout. Even she isn't stupid enough to say something like that out loud.

Nancy Pelosi: Pro-Troop Vote 'a Disgrace'

There I fixed it..

[Cedric]

I can't ever remember the Republicans outmaneuvering the Dems in such a dramatic and powerful fashion!

Dawn of a new era?

[oldbrowser]

Pelosi voted against it - she didn't side with the three. If the article is correct, she's denouncing a resolution she voted for.

Exactly what you would expect from that two-faced weasel.

I hope her liberal constituents give her hell for not standing proud against the war on terror.
