House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi pushed back against calls within Congress to cut off foreign aid to Egypt after demonstrators stormed the U.S. Embassy in Cairo earlier this week, but stopped short of calling Egypt an "ally" of the United States.

"I think there has been a consensus that we cannot leave Egypt by the by. They're suggesting we should cut off assistance to Egypt," Pelosi, a California Democrat, said during a press conference on Capitol Hill Thursday. "I don't agree with that."

She can disagree all she wants. I am still writing to my Congressman and senator and suggesting they cut off all funds to those pigs.

You little people will shut the hell up and pay your taxes.

We’re big, important members of the American left.

Better idea: Why don’t we deport her to Egypt and see how she likes it there ... and THEN cut off all aid.

I hope congress bring ups a bill before the election on halting funds to ALL ME countries, except Israel. Let’s see who in the Senate will vote against it (if dirty hairy let’s it on the floor).

John McCain is another one of the democrats who doesn’t want to cut off aid.

it’s wishful thinking, but I would prefer “not another red cent”. I can only watch, and vote accordingly.

If this is what the Plastic Princess believes, then I suggest she open her ample wallet and send a few of her millions to her muslim brotherhood buddies.

Why make an exception? Cut it all off. Checkbook diplomacy is an abject failure.

“I think there has been a consensus that we cannot leave Egypt by the by.”

Speak English you botox raddled freak. Here, let me help you:

“We have to keep sending money we don’t have—that we’re borrowing from China—to people who hate us so we can keep pretending to be big shots.”

There, that wasn’t so hard, was it?
Someone get some rope, a lot of it.

She's right; we shouldn't cut off the Billions in payoffs to Egypt....we should IMMEDIATELY STOP THE BILLIONS GOING TO ALL MUSLIM-CONTROLLED FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS RIGHT NOW, AND WITHDRAW AND CEASE FUNDING OF THE U.N. CORRUPTION MACHINE.

Of course, that's what the "Progressives" like Pelosi are ALL ABOUT: handing taxpayer money to their cronies and to buy votes, pure and simple.

TREASON is what we have in Washington today, and HANGING is the correct solution after they're Convicted.
