During her Thursday press conference, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said that Wednesday’s sweeping gun control defeat in the Democrat-controlled Senate is a setback, but not the end, of Democrats’ gun control efforts. During Senate action Wednesday, nine gun control measures came up for votes, and all nine were defeated. Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s “assault” weapons ban went down in flames, with 15 Democrats voting with Republicans to kill it. It fell in a lopsided 60-40 vote.
Going O for 9 is but a fleshwound, says Pelosi:
The process on where to go from here is we will be collecting any bipartisan sign up as co-sponsors of the bill, which is already bipartisan What we want also is a vote [in the House], Pelosi said. The American people can say to the leadership in Congress to Speaker Boehner, Give us a vote. As you can see, were just not taking no for an answer.
She means it. Pelosi is a very determined ideologue. The last time Democrats refused to take no as an answer, they passed ObamaCare against the wishes of the majority of Americans. That law is wreaking havoc on the US economy and healthcare system, and it isn’t even fully implemented yet.
Pelosi on Gun Control: Were just not taking no for an answer
You’ll take what we the people give and like it plastic face!
Does our side hold nearly the amount of press conferences as this old hag? Or, are our press conferences just not covered by the press?
For the last time Nancy, playtime is over - get home and practice your meatballs.
She needs to go take a walk into the Pacific and join the other forms of plastic floating out there in oblivion!
Or, they could bring up bills that, instead of weakening the 2A, actually strengthen it. That should throw the Dems into a real tizzy!

Nancy, You have to read the Constitution to know whats in it.
Best post!
HA...I don’t think she HAS read the Constitution....nor will she. Blissful ignorance or EVIL? (rhetorical question)
Take or don't take whatever you want, ya marxist ol' bat.
You'll never get them.
As a coworker told me today, I don’t care what it says, the constitution should be changed.

Those of us who actually write checks to the US Treasury aren’t burning down our neighborhoods over Obamacare because we still adhere to the notion of ‘majority rule’, while the Democrats apparently reject democracy when it doesn’t serve their agenda.
Screw that and Nanzi!
As though that power-hungry harridan could get this gun-grabbing Democrat agenda through the House. Big words from a has-been.
Much as I despise her, she’s showing the tenacity I wish Republicans had.
The Constitution says the federal government is not even permitted to regulate our right to keep an bear arms, but Princess Pelosi is not taking “no” for an answer. A democratic vote in a Democrat-controlled Senate gave an answer of “no” but our ruling class is still not taking “no” for an answer. Why bother pretending to respect the rule of law if she has no interest in the supreme law of the land? Why pretending to support democracy if she’s only in favor of accepting the outcome of a vote if it goes her way. Princess Pelosi is a petty tyrant, an unfortunately ruthless one. We have to stay on our guard against her and against those like her - forever.
Well it just illustrates they never follow “the rules” they try to force on those opposed to them.
If you’re THEM, when the other side loses, YOU have to shut up, YOU LOST, stop fighting, and allow THEM to roll over you because that’s what the WINNING side wants. Screw everything else. You’re unpatriotic if you oppose THEM.
If you’re THEM, and THEY lose, then THEY don’t have to give up, YOU, the WINNER, can’t be allowed to have a tyranny of the majority over THEM, THEY will not take no for an answer, THEY will not shut up and stop fighting because the majority wants something different than THEY do. And again, screw everything else. THEY are patriotic to continue to oppose YOU, the majority.
Pelosi is from San Francisco.
Okay, Blame us for Feinswine and Boxrocks but Pelosi is from San Francisco...Sodom on the Bay.
Shasta County is pretty red.
Problem is, all those red areas in PDRC are pretty sparsely populated. The cities, LA, San Francisco, etc., call the shots. Same pretty much around the countries. Urban areas are all blue.
