Is Pelosi Panicking? Leaked Memo Lashes Out at Republicans
Human Events ^ | 29 January 09 | Connie Hair

Posted on 01/29/2009 7:57:16 AM PST by Clinton's a liar

This is a memo from Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Democratic members sent after the stimulus vote yesterday. Pelosi is apparently panicked at Republicans’ success in uniting against her hyperpartisan actions in shutting them out of the formulation of the stimulus bill and in peeling nearly a dozen Dems off to vote in opposition.

Here is the full text of the memo leaked to HUMAN EVENTS this morning.

Memo
To: Interested Parties
From: Brendan Daly
Re: The Republican Problem
Date: January 29, 2009

The House Republican Leadership put its Members in another politically untenable position yesterday: trying to reclaim the mantle of lower taxes and small government -- at the exact time when economists of every ideological stripe agree that government investments are the only way to get our economy moving again and make us competitive for the long term.

So yesterday, while we are facing the greatest economic crisis in decades, Republican House Members ended up voting unanimously against:

This “leaked” memo is clearly a press release trying to spin that stimulus pig into something heroic. Say, Nine Percent Nan, whatever happened to the $700 billion you recently stole from American taxpayers? Where is that?

Human Events ought to know better than to asist Democrats get their partisan spin out. The “leaked” mem basically says this:

“Republicans are evil. Thank goodness we defeated them and passed this bill. This bill will save America and everyone agrees with us except those evil Republicans.”

Couldn’t be more wrong.

I spoke to a friend last night who hails from the left side of the asile. A nostly logical man lacking the rabid hatred shown by the left. He asked me why did every Republican voted against the package. I said simply, If this package works you guys can claim all the glory and bask in a complete victory, however should it fail, the MSM will not be able to provide cover for you guys. You will loose control of both houses in 2010 and the chosen one will be back in the friendly confines of Chicago ready to resume his job as community organizer in 2012.

If its passage is so wonderful why’s she whining instead of tooting her own horn and laughing at the House GOP’s irrelevance?

Hmmmm, Nancy?

You know when the Bunkers sang “we could really use a man like Herbert Hoover again” it was meant to be a joke.

I am assuming you didn’t get it.

Quite frankly, I really think they are on their way to it.
Or at least remove any kind of conservative thought from the culture.

The meaning of the memo = The Dems are very worried about the scam stimulus package they passed. Now that no Republicans voted for it they are out on a limb and will take the blame when it fails.

She's either a pathological liar or lives in a very well sealed vacuum.

One normally wouldn't care unless they know the failure of this action is imminent. Pelosi is showing doubt in her own actions.

“I support the theory, but right now Keynesian economics is the right move.”

John Maynard Keynes needs to be dug up, a stake needs to be driven through his heart, and then he needs to be re-buried, this time for good.

Gov’t intervention IS THE PROBLEM. It’s not the solution.

Try reading the Constitution, and then, for good measure, the Federalist Papers.

I really have no clue how she ever got elected or how she stays in office. She’s nasty, she unattractive, and she’s fake.
