Nancy Pelosi insists she doesn’t gloat when House Republicans can’t shore up the votes among their own members to pass any number of critical bills, and it’s Democrats who get to swoop in and call themselves the heroes.
“I would rather they did the responsible thing so we wouldn’t have to bail them out every time,” the California Democrat quipped of her GOP counterparts.
But the minority leader, who sat for an interview in her Capitol Hill office with CQ Roll Call, must be feeling gratified.
The government is on the precipice of a shutdown, and if Republicans can’t get to 218 votes on their side of the aisle, Pelosi will get to call in the cavalry once again.
It would be the second time in a matter of weeks that she’s gotten to flex her muscle: She successfully squelched a pre-Thanksgiving deal on a tax extenders package negotiated exclusively by Senate Democrats and House Republicans — a deal that would have been a nonstarter for her caucus and President Barack Obama.

Time for that to stop.

Has she gotten used to her new office down in the basement
yet?
Pelousey rides to the rescue....give ma a break.
These “she’s so relevant!” stories are the surest sign she’s not relevant LOL!
Every time Boehner wants to increase government spending and borrowing he can count on every Dem vote anyway.
Yes yes yes!
What's the strategy?

A cornered Rat is not irrelevant. Especially when the GOPe is walking around in their fuzzy slippers rather than stomping in the war boots.
She may have to read the newspaper to see what’s in it. You lost Nancy.
Evil is always relevant Nancy.
Hear the lamentations of their women and children...
Oh...I thought you were going to blow up their house or something.

Don't confuse that with being nice.

Nancy does not understand basic facts.
I don’t want the government anywhere near me or my life.
I want my Constitutional right to be left alone. I served my nation in uniform and was honorably discharged from said service.
She steals from my nation.
She’s off her meds again.
National Socialists like Nazi Pelosi will end up in the landfill of history…where they belong.

It’s easy to…
live - free - republic
She’s brilliant and a female version of Willie Brown.
Gotta admire he spunk and tenacity
She screwed us good with this interview.
“We are the party of responsibility”.
“If the other side acts irresponsible, well just have to call them on it and work to get them to act responsibly”.
Boehner is a frickin putz
Military issues aside, note that one of the very few powers that the states have delegated to Congress expressly via the Constitution, a power which affects many citizens on an almost daily basis, is to regulate the US Mail Service.
But don’t be fooled into thinking that political parties are interested in controlling the Mail Service. Like dogs fighting over a stick, Democrats and RINOs are interested in controlling 10th Amendment-protected state powers, and associated states revenues, which the corrupt feds have stolen from the states.
I would therefore support a constitutional amendment to prohibit political party support of federal government leaders.
Pelosi is old news.
