Pelosi: ‘Many Members of the Republican Caucus Don’t Believe in Government’

(CNSNews.com) – In an interview on Thursday with National Public Radio, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said that many Republicans do not “believe in government.”

"There are many members in the Republican caucus who do not believe in government,” Pelosi said in an interview with NPR’s Morning Edition host Steve Inskeep. “And bless their hearts, they act upon their beliefs.

“So day to day, we vote here on issues that eliminate government initiatives for clean air, clean water, food safety, public safety, public education, public transportation, public housing, public health, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security.

"They don't believe in a public role,” Pelosi said. “And if you don't believe in a public role, then why do you even have to have taxes to pay for it? ... They're anti-government ideologues, and that's what the speaker has to deal with."

Pelosi also had praise for the “Grand Old Party,” which she said has made “enormous contributions to the success of our country,” but that the party has changed to be one that wants to destroy government.

“While we may argue about the size of government, the Republican Party has not been a party that says, 'I want to destroy government,” Pelosi said.

She said Republicans should “take back your party.”

“The country needs more than one-party dominance, as much as I believe the Democratic Party is the party for the middle class. ... We need to have a marketplace of ideas,” Pelosi said.

Calling it the least-important question Inskeep asked during the interview, Pelosi would not say if she believed she would become speaker of the House again.

Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Fienstien, the news media.

What is the common denominator here? they are all democrats.

democrats want to make the government all powerful and at the same time take every one of our individual rights and freedom. Democrats want the government to own everything ( that's called socialism).Everything democrats do is to empower government and at the same time dis-empower the individual. the individual is small and already powerless and the government is so huge and powerful and idiot democrats think the government needs to be made bigger and more powerful. wtf is wrong with these idiots?

When will we realize that the threat to our freedom and survival is the democrat party?

The only happiness I get is when I know these goons I named will one day meet the fate Chavez has

And sadly there is no Republican who will call the dems out - go on a Sunday morning show and declare that their are two kinds of dems, those that despise the Constitution and those that have never read it and have no clue what's in it. And it would be the unvarnished truth!

Because the Pubs don't keep on hammering the message that the dems are waging war against the rights of Americans, they keep losing. And the reason they don't hammer that point home because the GOPe, too, is waging the same war against Americans.

...Democrats don’t believe in the Constitution...

Their true colors are blaring for all to see today... [see writings of Georgetown's Seidman/NYSlimes].

A scientific marvel. The only known instance of achieving complete vacuum within a human skull.

I see you posted your reply 3 times. And, yes it bears repeating.

Damn right, they don't. Our Founders didn't either. That's why they wrote a Constitution to limit the powers of government.

Nasty Pelosi is a small minded, fascist petty tyrant with delusions of godhood.

Nasty Pelosi doesn't 'believe in government'.

Nasty Pelosi worships government.

I wonder whether she still sees any action either at home or in the cloakroom.

Probably not. Can you imagine it? Seriously?

Ewwww ...

Pelosi does worship government, the bigger the better, as long as she retains power and (of course) as long as she is exempted from the very rules she and her Party impose.

I hate to be unkind, but I have a nagging suspicion that Nancy is not always truthful.

Are you expecting us to take you seriously ?

Nancy, why do you hate the Constitution?

Because it interferes with MOB RULE.

Nancy, why do you support stealing from productive citizens?

Because that is how the MOB supports itself.
