Nancy's scapegoat search
NY Post ^ | October 19, 2010 | Editorial

Posted on 10/19/2010 2:56:13 AM PDT by Scanian

Nancy Pelosi emerges from her bunker today to headline a New York fund raiser, a last-gasp stab at scaring up support for House Dems.

And scare is in the script.

Speaking in Pittsburgh yesterday, she fired up what's left of the Steelworkers' Union there by prophesizing calamity in the event of a GOP landslide.

That, and laying blame -- at the feet of President Bush.

And the Chamber of Commerce.

"We have lost millions of jobs to outsourcing under President Bush," said Pelosi -- who then blamed her party's woes on foreign donations allegedly used to fund the pro-business chamber.

The foreign-money meme is part of a White House scheme to raise campaign cash of its own -- a scheme even The New York Times conceded last week was a baseless slander.

Pelosi doesn't care. She's flailing desperately, trying to blame things on someone even more unpopular than she is.

But the numbers don't work.

With a 15 percent approval rating, she's about as popular as the Taliban. And now even her foot soldiers in Congress are turning their guns on her.

The socialist troika of Obama/Pelosi/Reid have injected the eggs of evil Marxist parasites into the bloodstream of America.

As they hatch,feed,grow,feed,grow again until they finally emerge out of the depleted corpse of American freedom,the Left will blame every ill effect along the way on everyone else until all dissent is eventually exterminated.

All this will come to past if we do not take the GOP from the RINOs.

If the GOP doesn’t use the opportunity it is presented with to show some guts for a change in dealing with the left, then a 3rd party is the only reasonable alternative for people who are serious about constitutional government.

The GOP can then go the way of the Whigs, deservedly.

They are trying to run off all American support for the Democrats. That way they think they can for the basis of a true American Communist Party via the Democrat Party.

If the GOP does not purge the RINOs it would be better for patriots to abandon the party thus allowing a temporary Democrat dictatorship—temporary because another revolution will then set things right once and for all.

Damn sight better than the slow death of liberty the RINOs are now enabling.

Sarah Palin has it right. The Republicans must listen to the Tea Party or the Tea party will be the new party, and the Republicans will die a slow death.

She spoke to the offspring of the scum that flipped off President Reagan in the 1980’s when he visited Pittsburgh.
Nothing changes much around here.

I’d like to believe the military would go against a Dem coup....but I’m not convinced all of them would. And there would be no TEMPORARY Democrat dictatorship-—it will be the real deal until such time as the military gets fed up with it.

Ordinary citizens cannot go up against the firepower of the military. We have to rely on the officer corps to do its duty.

Dick Cheney is way more popular than Pelosi. Must grind her.
