"One blog, Free Republic.com, posted a report that said Frost attended a private school where tuition was $20,000 a year, that the family lives in an area where one home recently sold for nearly $500,000, and that a photo and "shows what appears to be a recent remodeling job with granite counter tops and glass-front cabinets.""

There’s a Free Republic blog?

They were concrete countertops Ms. Pelosi..

Hats off to icwhatudo for pissing off the libs!

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

If you have the secret sign-on, there is.....

Actually, the countertops are the more expensive concrete ones. Granite runs 60-100 sf, concrete 65-125 and has a “designer” cachet to it.

Otherwise, Pelosi seems to be accurate.

[Suzy Quzy]

Ahhhhh...the truth hurts, huh, Nancypants??

[AppyPappy]

That woman ain’t got sense enough to pour piss out of a boot with the instructions on the heel

[backhoe]

This insufferable woman is an ignoramus...

I re-read the article- I don’t think Pelosi made the comments, NewsMax did.

The boy’s parents, Halsey and Bonnie Frost say they earn between $45,000 and $50,000 a year, a level that places them within the insurance program eligibility guidelines for a family of six in Maryland.

They say their children attend private schools on scholarships and that they purchased their home for $55,000 in 1990 and it has appreciated in value since.

“Because of the intelligence and the aptitude of the son who was in the accident he goes to a private school, because he’s on scholarship there ... because the house of the family appreciated, they bought it for 50,000, they make 45,000 a year or something like that ... they are calling them wealthy,” Pelosi said of critics of the family.

I do not know of any private schools that give scholarships out to people making this much money. I also do not know of any $50k homes that have granit countertops even if they were purcahsed in the 90’s.

Ping!

[JohnLongIsland]

"the facts ma'am, just the facts."

[KosmicKitty]

What gets me, the same family would be considered wealthy by the dummyrats when it comes to calculating taxes.

[weegee]

Remember when Al Gore said that anyone who earned $250,000 a year was a millionaire because in 4 years they’d have a million dollars?

[Archon of the East]

Doesn't change the issue...The Rats use and exploit children, aged, minorities to extract emotion as the driving force for their thirst for power because rational thought and intellect would render their positions invalid.

[HonestConservative]

Amen!

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

If they benefitted from the Bush tax cuts that makes them “rich.”

[weegee]

It also reminds me when Morton Downey Jr. was claiming bankruptcy and sitting on his couch underneath an original painting by someone like Seurat. His defense was that it was purchased by his ancestors and he could never give it up.

Rich or poor can be a state of mind.

Our 2 cars have over 100,000 miles on them each. Our kids, while bright and diligent students, go to public school. My husband's healthcare policy generally sucks, but I'm grateful we're covered in the event of an emergency. We pay more of our healthcare expenses out of pocket than not.

During the time he had no insurance, I made sure we could get coverage through my employer. (I have since lost that job because the company went out of business.) In spite of being unemployed for more than a year, we managed to meet our obligations.

Tell me, Nance, why should someone like me pay for the healthcare of a family who chooses to buy three new high-end vehicles and remodel their home rather than meet their insurance obligations?
