Despite some unfavorable polling, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi still thinks the Occupy movement has been politically helpful to Democrats.
In an interview with TPM on Friday, she said there’s no recent precedent for the sort of election House Democrats are going into. In 1994 and 2010, Congressional Republicans ran against Washington controlled by Democrats. In 2006, Congressional Democrats ran against Republican corruption and President George W. Bush. This time around, President Obama will carry the national message for the party while individual candidates use it as they see fit to win in their districts. That national message, Pelosi said, has much greater salience thanks to the Occupiers.“Our statement is we are reigniting, Democrats are reigniting the American dream, building ladders of success, removing obstacles to opportunity to all who work hard and play by the rules,” Pelosi said. “We have work to do. We think that important to that is enhanced by what’s happening in the Occupy [movement], which is the 99 and one. They really emblazoned that in the minds of the American people. That’s what we dedicated our lives to, but they gave it that clarity. People say they didn’t have a message. They may not have a message, but they have a statement. And the statement is the status quo is unacceptable — 99 and one.”
If it’s a marriage, it’s not a very happy one. Many Democrats are hesitant to align themselves directly with the movement, particularly as the movement’s favorability falls. And the Occupy movement itself recently protested outside DCCC headquarters. But the movement’s key issues like addressing income inequality are still wildly popular and Democrats will benefit from that.

The seeds were planted a decade ago. They are organized, and just waiting for opportunities, and they have Demonrats full support.
Monstrous bitch.
Oh, yeah. I forgot about Occupy. They’re probably part of this, too.
Since you bring it up. Those bigmouths, Nanzi Pelosi and OCD sure have been quiet, haven’t they?
“...Monstrous bitch....”
We don’t call it the “vile, demonic Botoxian” for nothing.
It’s straight out of the pit of Hell doing it’s master’s bidding.
You might not care but you don't want all those folks moving to civilized parts of the country.
The Dems are already tied to this nationwide destruction but it’s nice of Nanzi to loop the rope around her own neck by declaring solidarity with these leftist thugs.
Does anyone else recall that Hillary called the armed protestors at the Michigan state house terrorists? Where no laws were broken, no one was hurt, no one was arrested.
Now she is tweeting support for these thugs.
You mean the riots aren't being led by white supremacists?
Nancy is 100% about Nancy. If she and Hillary were to compete for the same space I’m not sure which of them would be more vicious. They are both emblematic of the worst of American politics. Both are scum.
Implying you’re terrorist?
I wish these rioters would go visit Nancy’s house.
But OCD is a proud Brooklynite. I know stuff is going on there. Where's her profound announcements?
Nancy Pelosi needs to be in jail for her sedition, not in Congress
That’s really going to go over well with all the people attacked by rioters and having their businesses wrecked. < /sarc >
Pelousy says the Demonrats are “igniting the American dream” while in the cities THEY run what’s being ignited is an American nightmare!!
She seems about as wicked and twisted as a human could be.
Has anyone tried a bucket of water?
Pelosi is both EVIL and GREED all rolled up in one being. The Devil has created a separate Hell for her because even he has standards of admission for his domain.
Pelosi is the worst American national politician in history and just as big an internal traitor to the Constitution as Communist/Soviet asset Rep. Bella Abzug (D-NY) was.
The sooner she dies, the safer the Constitution and America is. Come on Grim Reaper (not a relative), do your thing, please!!!
Nancy Pelosi is obviously a deep state operative being run by the spirit of the antichrist. She’s possessed.
“”Has anyone tried a bucket of water?””
Holy Water on Nazzi would make for QUITE the laser light show!
I really can’t wait to celebrate her eventual passing.
Right after that, I’m sure her daughter will be elected.
Pretty sure her district is an entrance to Hell.
