US Congress leader Pelosi calls Bush 'a total failure'
Yahoooo ^ | 7/17/08 | AFP

Posted on 07/17/2008 3:04:55 PM PDT by mdittmar

US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday called President George W. Bush "a total failure" who "has no ideas," in an interview with CNN.

Responding to stinging criticism from Bush on the Democratic leadership in both houses of Congress and the slow pace of the legislative agenda, as Congress prepares for its one-month summer recess in August, Pelosi let loose:

"You know, God bless him, bless his heart, the president of the United States, a total failure, losing all credibility with the American people on the economy, on the war, on energy, you name the subject."

Pelosi, 68, said the House and Senate were busy "trying to sweep up after (Bush's) mess over and over and over again ... The president knows it. He needs something to talk about. Because he has no ideas."

The speaker was especially critical of Bush's proposal to lift a ban on offshore oil drilling as a means to ease the current fuel price crisis, calling it a ploy to draw attention away from his failures.

You would think that someone with a 9% approval rating would have more class.

“That Bush family “decency and civility” has produced a second failed Presidency, and has left the conservative movement in the same shape that Clinton left the Democrats.”

I agree. I’m sick of belonging to a party that refuses to fight back. I’m sick of MY GUYS allowing these traitorous, power-mad fools say anything they want about anything they want, do nothing, and never, ever, EVER be called on it.

Every Republican should be out there SCREAMING the message that it’s the Democrats and the Democrats alone that are behind America’s inability to supply our own gasoline. They should REFUSE to go on break, REFUSE to leave town and park their spoiled asses on the steps of the Capitol, if need be, to make the masses aware that WE are trying to solve this problem, while the traitorous Democrats do nothing and run from it.

But I guess our guys are too busy getting their beach houses ready, flying off on vacations to Bermuda, or writing songs honoring the brave and noble Kennedy.

This from someone with an approval rating that is one-third of his.

Just saw this posted:

The Hidden Dangers of the 'Use It Or Lose It Bill'

"The bill initially failed within the house, but reports surfaced yesterday that Pelosi and Reid had been holding private meetings with moderate congressional Democrats who have refused to support the bill, in an attempt to revive the legislation. Of course, with my inquisitive mind, I decided to actually look into the bill and determine why Pelosi and Reid are pushing so hard. What I discovered, is that hidden deep inside the bill are some disturbing provisions designed to raise government revenue, limit competition within the companies currently exploring and drilling, and undoubtedly lead to less offshore oil production..."

‘.....I can’t say what I think or I’d get banned....

call her office and let her know what you think (strong but not foul language). I just did...1-866-220-0044, U.S. Capitol switchboard, then connect to Pelosi’s office.

Her phone line should be burning up.....

Viscious, hateful, ignorant, evil woman.

Bush is getting twice the approval rating of Pelosi and the Congress that she administers. So that must make her a failure time 2.

Nancy Pelosi is a complete waste of space. I think she’s among the top 5 most disgusting and miserable human beings to ever walk the face of the earth. The world will be better when this communist slut is 6 feet under.

We can say all we want here. What I did, and I encourage you all to do, is go to NRCC.org, take their opinion survey and put your comments right on that where it asks for them. This goes directly to the NRCC. They should know how we feel.

There are about 40 of them in the house, that are fighting and fighting hard. They claim they comments, denials etc, are not covered, the DBM refuses to cover them. Much like they did Hunter and others during the Primary. They want us to know, and they want us to insist the rest of the Republicans join them. We need to take charge again, and we need to let all those doing nothing, that we demand they stop or we will toss them out.

Also let them no, in no uncertain terms that THIS is one of the very reasons we lost in 06!

No Bush is a partial failure. Pelosi is a total failure - actually worse than a total failure which implies one even tries to do something. Pelosi is a zero.

Nancy’s looks are a failure along with that half a brain she possesses.

Good thing her husband has a tuna factory. Old Nancy can get the Charlie treatment.
