House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said congressional Republicans will have to pass immigration reform if they ever want the GOP to retake the White House.
“I believe that the members of Congress, many more than are directly affected themselves by the number of Hispanics in their district, will do what is right for our country,” Pelosi (Calif.) said in an interview aired Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “And it’s certainly right — for the Republicans, if they ever want to win a presidential race.”

Pelosi said she’s “very optimistic” that comprehensive immigration reform will pass “before long, and certainly this year.”
The onus is now on the Republican-led House, after the Democratic-led Senate overwhelmingly passed its bill Thursday. House Speaker John Boehner said last week that any type of immigration legislation to come to the House floor must have the approval of the majority of congressional Republicans.
“We wouldn’t even be where we are right now had it not been that 70 percent of Hispanics voted for President Obama, voted Democratic in the last election,” Pelosi said. “That caused an epiphany in the Senate, that’s for sure. So, all of a sudden now, we have already passed comprehensive immigration reform in the Senate. That’s a big victory.”

Republicans taking advice from Nancy Pelousy is like fish taking swimming lessons from an osprey.
Yes, but not her kind of rats. She screams electoral victory while a virtual foreigner is in the WhiteHut. Forget Hillary, 2016 will be won by Jose, boyfriend of Rubio.
Since when Nancy worried about Republicans? I find it funny. A subconscious cry for help as the storm is gathering? She reminds me of these people who go out walking their dog to show off but ignore the storm coming, too busy showing off and then caught in it.
You know it’s all wrong when her kind get to speak.
Here’s an idea for any FR who lives in P’s district
2014 PETITION TO RENEW LICENSE TO STEAL
We the undersigned, registered voters in the state of California of the ___ congressional district do hereby approve and encourage the continuation of the use of advanced information and control over government bureacracies be granted to our member of congress running under the name of NANCY PELOSI which will enable herself, members of her immediate family or contributers to her campaign to furthur en-rich themselves through her re-election.
Traitors: “we’ve already let the whole world live inside your borders when you weren’t looking, and we intend to count their votes legally or illegally so it doesn’t matter what you think American, you’re dead.”
Americans: “there will be blood”.
Nancy Pelosi is concerned that Republicans may not win the presidency. Who knew?
please god don’t let her really be Italian. I hate her, and what’s worse is republicans believe her. they actually think latinos are going to vote for them if thy pass shamnesty. heartbreakingly stupid
Oh yeah, and the elite GOP believes this crazy old bat.
Doesn’t say much for them, does it?
I picture Beavis and Butthead knocking on Pelousy’s door and asking her “are you going to die soon”?
We can only hope that too much botox will make dreams come true!
What a sweet, caring woman!
They certainly didn’t want to win the WH the last two times.
Thanks for the tip, Nancy, nice to know you are looking out for us.
The GOP will vote for the amnesty bill if they want to lose their base and their country.
Wow that is 100% clear it’s a bad idea.
She has the logic of a child and the chimps in her party agree with her.
nazi peeeelossy....brainless old hag
Does sound like an interesting thing to do.
The only thing more comical than this Democrat giving Republicans advice on how to be successful Republicans, is the Republicans who listen.
Take from an old former Chicago Republican precinct captain and winning dampaign manager. It works! Get that type of stuff in a big way out her district and she’s in trouble. What you do not do and FR’s do this is demean the person graphicly that comes much later if at all.
3:1 that the GOP-e nods their head in agreement.
They don't call the Pubbies the stupid party for nothing.
be nice because.... she has more balls? no... because so do i...
