The Lost Boys of The Nancy State
The Aspen Times ^ | 02/17/09 | Addison Gardner

Posted on 02/17/2009 8:50:40 AM PST by Titmouse

The grownups have left Washington, and that's not a reference to Dubya's recent stampede out of town, two horse-lengths ahead of Sen. Leahy's tar wagon.

Americans are hurting, and — with the exception of three Republican consensus seekers in the Senate — our Capitol Hill patricians are auditioning for roles in a remake of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest,” complete with Speaker Pelosi's reprise of “Nurse Ratchet,” as she menaces Republicans with an enema bag.

The staging is different, but the dialogue is identical.

Nancy Pelosi is having way too much fun. There is something unsettling about her flushed, hyperthyroidic demeanor. It's not just her bulging, unblinking hunt for cameras that disturbs; it's the increasing sense that she's lost touch with reality.

Pelosi's running Washington, and Obama is letting her be his lightening rod, while posing as "the uniter." What a crock!

Meanwhile, Republicans attack Pelosi and "Congress," which is playing right into Obama's hands. They are afraid to take him on, directly, because his poll numbers are so high.

Well, a significant percentage of the Democrats are “nancy-boys”.

With a new president busily adjusting his chair height and playing with the Oval Office thermostat, the nation's destiny has been dropped into the lap of a speaker who delivers vitriolic floor speeches moments before critical votes.

Wow! A conservative living in Colorado! I'll bet this guy doesn't get many Christmas cards. Probably catches hell at "the water cooler" too!

*** Well, a significant percentage of the Democrats are “nancy-boys”. ***

The same is true of Republicans.

“There’s Something about Nancy” ....

She has public maniacal episodes, irrationally spews against the GOP just moments before taking a House vote, re-defines Catholic docrine regarding the sanctity of life and its inception, and otherwise talks pure nonsense.

A crack whore could do just as credible a job as House Speaker and abortion spokeswoman for the Catholic church. Unfortunately none are insane enought to want the job.

“...because his poll numbers are so high.”

#####

This phrase, naked and standing completely alone, is enough to disqualify “polls” from conveying any meaningful information.

The Zero has done absolutely nothing to earn high polling numbers. Actually, even a cursory glance at his political career, would lead any rational American to view him with extreme disfavor.

Indeed, we are imitating art and are living through “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”. The libs believe that our economy is a severely and chronically depressed mental patient needing a “jolt” of electro-shock therapy. The pervasive fog over the mental patients is the mainstream news media—and the re-imposition of the “Fairness Doctrine” is the frontal lobotomy. A thought: instead of government imposing “we know it when we see it” fairness, why not just strengthen laws against libel, slander, and fraud to protect the innocent victims of the spoken and printed word (ie, speech and press)? Radio uses “public airways”? Well, commies and other libs speak in public universities AND books, newspapers, and magazines require use of public ROADWAYS, built and maintined by taxpayer dollars—UNLIKE radio, which transmits over free air......

It dawned on me after watching about 10 minutes of last Sunday's Meet the Press, where every media-moron parroted the Dem party talking points:

Obama and Nancy are playing "good cop/bad cop".

Agree completely.

Obama is letting her take the fall, while he pulls the strings from above. Good catch.

You got that right, and he lives in Aspen, for chrissakes! There are plenty of areas in Colorado where sanity still prevails, but Aspen ain’t on that list.

The fairness doctrine is coming, only it will be renamed something more palatable, like “The community access act,” or some such squeeze. David Axelrod (”senior Obama advisor”) was asked about the FD over the weekend, and he wouldn’t rule it out.

Has nothing t do with polls, it has everything to do with, RACE, the fear of a race riot. islamic world,the muslims they now run Washington, the political whores in our government have sold their souls to the devil. Hillary very much part of the Communist world wants thing more than to be DICTATOR of the United States and she will get it, her travels around the world is setting her up for the White House. Hillary is a very DANGEROUS person, she is the mouth piece for the Communist groups. The Clintons are and will run this country. Term limits will change and the election will be stopped or put on only as a show.
Was Joe Kennedy just buying cheap oil from Chevez or was this Socialist,communist phone helping CHevez to over turn their government, just like the Clinons did in Israel and in Mexico. So what was Joe Kennedy really talking about and
why would Chevez deal with the Kennedy's when he hates America. No chance of questioning this scum bag because the our government is in bed with Chevez. I think Hillary is setting us up for war it we try and fight back to save this country.
I believe the American people should be calling for the removal of Hitlary and now. Al the Nuclear technology that Clinton gave to those foreign countries will be used against us. Clinton handed over the information for the space station and launchers to Russia and now they have it to Iran, Iran now has a satellite in space, next will be Venezuela, now buddy buddy with Russia. I'm sure Joe has go his hands in the pot as well.
After slavery came welfare, many slaves were treated well, they worked for their keep. They didn't have to work for welfare only lay back and have as many children as possible because at one time the more children they had the more money they got, and the more money they got the more money Jesse Jackson got and a few others. Now it isn't quit based on the number of children like it was in the past.
With welfare they live a better life than many people that are working. They were raised on a socialist type of living so they think there is nothing wrong with socialism or communism, nothing wrong with the poor wanting to bring down the rich, they hate the rich.
Billions of dollars goes to the NAACP and not a dime goes to help black Americans or help with their education.
The NAACP has never yet answered for the BILLIONS of tax dollars they have received.
Black Americans will follow this bozo to their death and not a poll ever has to be taken.
Many stand behind Opra, she uses the African children for tax wright offs. A school well off, and children well dressed and fed. While she still from hard working Americans making millions everyday and she won't even pay her fair share of taxes in this country. We feed the hungry in Africa and send clothing, medicine and with out a tax break. Black Americans think Opra is just super for giving a million to a school that didn't need it but she needed to protect her millions, quit a show she put on.
Black Americans need to take a good look at what Opra really is and than they can see what they are supporting.
obama is just as bad as Opra if not worse.
Genecide, ethnic cleansing means nothing to this bozo. If you were in urgent need of a bailout and it would have meant your life, you would have been dead by now. this bozo didn’t thing it was important enough to sign a bailout package, that is nothing more than a con job to bring down this country turn us into a socialist,communist country.
Black Americans need to come aboard and help save this country or we may start looking like Africa. our children laying on the grounds starving, dying and no medication to help them. The health will tell you if you can save your child, if he or she can be treated.
The man in the White House now with the rubber stamp calling for death and distruction of this country and the American people is Ruhl Emanual and it's time got America to stop pretending and call for Emanual LEAVE the White House. Papers have to be sent to Denver to be signed by the bozo. If obozo doesn't need the White House than lock the doors and send Emanual and Carville packing. Look at the billions of tax payers dollars that would be saved.

Wow! A conservative living in Colorado!

I'm not so sure.

Click thru and read the article. Addison Gardner sounds like a disillusioned non-partisan "moderate". He's disappointed in the Democrats...but he hates Republicans.

It might have something to do with this unavoidable fact:

“When he [Bush] took office in January 2001, President Bush inherited a national debt of $5.7 trillion. When he left office, America’s debt was nudging $10 trillion, and less than $1 trillion was spent terminating terrorists abroad.”

Maybe he just dislikes big-spending Bush Republicans who are pretty much indistinguishable from, say, Democrats??
