Nancy Pelosi's Baltimore connections.
Born as Nancy D'Alesandro in Baltimore, Pelosi inherited her family's political tradition. Her father, Thomas D'Alesandro, Jr., was the ward boss for Baltimore's Little Italy ward, then a city councilman and five - term congressman before becoming Baltimore mayor from 1947 through 1959.

Later, her brother, Thomas D'Alesandro III, also became Baltimore's mayor, from 1967 to1971.

...treatment of severe brain injuries suffered in a car crash...

Isn't that what auto insurance is for? Or did someone not have that either?

I turned on MSNBC last night to try and catch some of debate. Keith Overbite was on doing his worst person in the world. Rush and Free Republic were given his worser person in the world award for this topic.

I guess that I’m the only one here who thinks you’re doing more harm than good.

Really sick the way Dims use children as human shields in their slander wars against Republicans, who are fathers and mothers too.

Even more sick and twisted are the parents of this child who went along with this shameless charade.....

“Sounds like the kid was asked to lie, just like grifters.”

He probably thinks it is true because he can’t believe his parents would lie to him and use him.

So when Democrats enlisted 12-year-old Graeme Frost, who along with a younger sister relied on the program for treatment of severe brain injuries suffered in a car crash,

The assertion that these children would not have received treatment in the City of Baltimore without this financial backing makes my blood pressure go way up. Unless this family would have taken their children out of the hospital when the bills began to mount, the hospitals would have treated the children exaclty like children with private insurance or Medicaid coverage.
