Pelosi: Health law is a ‘winner’ for Democrats By: Paige Winfield Cunningham March 20, 2014 11:22 AM EDT

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said the health care law is a “winner,” when asked whether it’s a winning or losing issue for Democrats in swing districts this year.

“You’ll have to ask the member, but I believe it’s a winner,” she told reporters as she marked this Sunday’s fourth anniversary of the law’s passage.

Pelosi maintained that the Florida House special election last week, in which Democrat Alex Sink was defeated by a Republican in a race where the health care law was a major issue, showed that Democrats are “ready for the next putt” because the final results were close.

Pelosi also emphasized that health law’s name, the Affordable Care Act, is important because it describes what the law will do: lower costs. She said opponents started using “Obamacare” because they “wanted to get away from the word ‘affordable,’” she added.

She said she’s made that point to President Barack Obama, who has himself used the term “Obamacare” at times.

Yes to both. Nanacy has lost all contact with reality, and there is a planned pusch by Progressives to still save the day for the very flawed “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010”. Whether Nanacy is aware of this pusch is very much an open question. She turns out to not be aware of very much of anything.

Pelosi: Health law is a ‘winner’ for Democrats!

Has anyone invented a name, the equivalent of "Baghdad Bob" label for this useless demented female POS?

Remember that TV shot of BB with his arms spread saying, "Americans are NOT in Baghdad" with coalition tanks rumbling by behind him?

I wish I were enough Photoshop savvy to replicate that image with Pelosi's face, saying, "Health law is a ‘winner’ for Democrats!"

How does she reconcile that with the fact that she isn’t the Speaker of the House anymore?

She lost the speakership when the Republicans took control of the House. That has nothing to do with her getting reelected time after time after time after time.....

She'll have that seat until she dies.

“She lost the speakership when the Republicans took control of the House. That has nothing to do with her getting reelected time after time after time after time...She’ll have that seat until she dies.”

I understand that; she lost the speakership because ObamaCare was NOT popular with voters.

The rest of her party seems to think it is related to ObamaCare; they’re running like hell from it (and Obama).

She said opponents started using “Obamacare”

What a liar. Obama himself started calling it Obamacare and it stuck. What a witch.

I’ve been trying to come up with slogans for a tea party sign. This, “This is your brain on Botox. Any questions?” with a picture the idiot, will make a great one.

Thanks!

This from the "lady" who said we have to pass it, to find out what's in it.

A doctor pointed out this is the working definition of a stool sample.

She knows everything she is saying is not true. She is just trying to keep a happy face in public but behind closed doors, she knows the opposite is true.

It’s that or she is truly clinical
