Pelosi: GOP can't win by skewering her - POLITICO Live: August 01, 2010
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) says Republicans may amuse voters by painting her as horror-flick monster destroying the country, but they aren't going to win elections by beating up on her.
Asked to respond to a conservative group's animated TV ad portarying her as a 50-foot-tall "power-hungry goliath, defying the will of the American people," Pelosi said the tactic failed miserably when it was tried in a special election in Pennsylvania in May and will also lack traction in the national elections this fall.
"They tried this," Pelosi said in an interview airing Sunday on ABC's "This Week." "They fully expected to win the race and we won by 8.5 points. Because this is funny, it attracts attention, but they have nothing to say about what they want to go for, what they want to do is privatize Social Security. And as they have said, their agenda, if they win, is to go to the exact agenda of the previous administration and people will look with fondness on the Bush administration....We welcome that campaign."
Pelosi also charged that GOP dissent from Democratic legislative efforts wasn't due to a principled disagreement, but because Republicans are acting on behalf of "special interests."
"The Republicans are here for the special interests, we're here for the people's interests," she said. "This isn't about inter-party bickering. This is about a major philosophical difference as to whose side you're on. You don't like to think that. We come here to find our common ground....I wish it were not so stark. I wish the elections weren't so necessary for us to win. I really do, because it should be -- there should be more common ground."
>Pelosi: GOP can’t win by skewering her...
And the democrats couldn’t win big in 08 by bashing Bush
Or, possibly, she really is that stupid...enough to believe she will still be Speaker of the House next year.
As Rush predicted, the liberals will get increasingly looney as the election approaches and they will be operating with "Acme Company" tricks just like Wile E. Coyote...with the same degree of success he always had.
POLITICO is JOURNOLIST ABORTION. They have no credibility with respect to impartiality. ANYTHING they say, do the opposite!
>>Don’t forget the D in Pennsylvania ran as a conservative.<<
Not just as any ole conservative, but as a “Rush Limbaugh Conservative”.
I'll believe that as soon as she quits running against George Bush.
She does a fine enough job of doing that to herself
How about laughing at her?
Speaker of the House
Good day my friends, Sit yourself down
And meet the greatest Speaker in town
And the Congress - All of ‘em crooks
Bleeding us dry and cooking the books
Seldom do you see honest ones like me!
San Fran Nan, a firebrand - Who rules DC!
Speaker of the house, Twists a willing arm
Ready with a gavel, and an open palm
Pass a healthcare bill, and without delay
Tax and spend without an end, just make them pay
Glad to get a vote for favors, Louisiana bribe was nice
But we can be exempt, and by the way
The people pay the price!
Speaker of the House and Congress work for you
We’ll control your energy ‘til you turn blue
Throw in cap and trade, we can legislate
C02 and air you breathe, it’s really great
Everybody loves the speaker
Everybody’s lifelong friend
I do whatever pleases
Me! And then I bleed ‘em in the end!
Tax ‘em for our vice, and to be precise
Add more to the budget, why not do it twice
Here a stimulus, budgets we can’t cut
We can grow the government with our eyes shut!
When it comes to raising taxes, I can be so debonair
Government increases
and the private sector – I don’t care!
‘Twas Hope and Change
And All Magnificence,
But Lord Almighty
Look what’s happened since —
Speaker of the house?
Loves constituents
Spending people’s money
With beneficence
Working day and night
Doesn’t want much praise
Do not have to worry
Cause I’ll get my raise!
What a cruel trick of nature
Sticking us with such a louse
God knows how we’ve lasted
Living with this Speaker of the House!
Maybe not Nancy, but it is worth a try, and feels good doing it to a traitorous Commie Bitch like you!
Yes they can.
Maybe not, but I'll bet there are a lot of people who would enjoy seeing her roasting on a spit.
She sounds so innocent.
Proverbs 30:20 - “Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.”
She betrayed the trust of those who voted for her, and violated the constitution she swore on a Bible to uphold. She has cheated us all.
My breath?<------------not holding it.....
