RUSH: Now this impeachment, just before the program started, ladies and gentlemen, I saw a little blurb go by on the bottom of the screen on the Fox News Channel, and I don’t remember exactly what it was, but I’m paraphrasing. A couple of Democrats or Democrat groups are continuing to add pressure on Pelosi to pull the trigger on impeaching Trump. And one of the things I have been eager to point out, one of the reasons I wanted to get back here today is that the Drive-Bys and the Democrats, Pelosi, are trying to make it look like...

On Wednesday, Democrats deigned to join Republicans on the House Select Committee investigating Benghazi, primarily to protect Hillary Clinton’s reputation in particular, and the Obama administration’s in general. Toward that end they will likely do what they always do whenever their party is threatened: denigrate the investigation as it unfolds and obstruct it as much as possible. Thus, it was completely unsurprising that even as House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) appointed five colleagues to the panel she dismissed the need for it. “The Republican obsession with Benghazi has not been about the victims, the families or the country,” she...

WASHINGTON — House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said that Democrats would not run only on Obamacare in 2014, but the election would be primarily about the budget and jobs. “Yes they could have done a better job of describing it,” Pelosi said of the White House messaging on the law. “No, they didn’t hurt us for 2014.”

See Video at the Site Former House Speaker and current Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., attacked Republicans for their opposition to debt ceiling increases, but defended President Obama for voting against a debt-ceiling increase when he was in the Senate, during an interview with Jon Stewart. Her effort to reconcile the two positions drove The Daily Show host to distraction. You can see the transcript and video below. Pelosi: "We didn't say, '[Bush] amassed this debt, we're not lifting the debt ceiling,' because we have to honor the full faith and credit of our country. Republicans with this president,...

Former Speaker of the House–and current Minority Leader–Nancy Pelosi apparently bought $1 million to $5 million of Visa stock in one of the most sought-after and profitable initial public offerings (IPO) in American history, thwarted serious credit card reform for two years, and then watched her investment skyrocket 203%.The revelation appears in Throw Them All Out, the new book by investigative journalist and Breitbart editor Peter Schweizer Schweizer’s investigation of Pelosi and other members of Congress–from both parties–raises a critical question: should it be legal for lawmakers to buy stocks in companies directly affected by their legislative efforts? In early...

President Barack Obama heaped praise on House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi Saturday night, and predicted she will be back in the speaker’s chair when 2013 rolls around.

Public support for the new healthcare law dropped significantly in October, a new survey shows, dealing a blow to the Obama administration as Republican presidential candidates keep up their pledges to repeal the president’s signature domestic legislative achievement. More than half of Americans now view the law unfavorably, according to a tracking poll by the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. And just 34% of Americans view the law favorably, the lowest level of support since the president signed the law in March 2010. Much of the decline appears to have been driven by faltering support among Democrats, just 52% of whom...

Pelosi on low congressional approval: Congress has always been 'the object of mockery' By Daniel Strauss - 10/28/11 04:39 PM ET House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) explained Americans' low approval of Congress as something that's been going on throughout the country's history. Pelosi added that she fell into the category of Americans who did not approve of the body's job performance lately, as well. "The fact is that Congress has always been the object of mockery in the history of our country," Pelosi said Friday in an interview with CNBC. "I myself would include those who are dissatisfied with...

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s strong statements in support of the “Occupy Wall Street” movement raise an interesting question: Does she, then, oppose the preferential treatment her son received at the hand of the financial industry? Pelosi’s son, Paul Pelosi, Jr., was protected from a round of layoffs when he was a mortgage broker for Countrywide, according to “Reckless Endangerment: How Outsized Ambition, Greed, and Corruption Led to Economic Armageddon,” a 2011 book by Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times columnist Gretchen Morgenson. “Paul Pelosi, Jr., the son of Nancy Pelosi, the former Speaker of the House, worked as a mortgage...
