Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) says she is confident she will regain the gavel when Democrats sweep the November elections.
Just looking at the top of the ticket has to give every Democrat a sense of optimism, Pelosi crowed. On the GOP side we have Mitt Romneya man who virtually imprisoned his own wife, kept her from seeking gainful employment and used her to breed five childrenall sons, mind you. Are women going to vote for this kind of misogynist or are they going to appreciate that before he was president Senator Obama helped his wife get a $300,000 no-show job in addition to gifting her with two lovely daughters?
If the comparative life stories of the presidential candidates dont sway female voters the policy differences ought to, Pelosi argued. Democrats have a long record of championing womens rights. Republicans tout marriage and family as the foundation of our social structure. Democrats have freed women from this trap by ensuring that they can still have children without having to marry a man, that the financial support they need is there for the taking from the generosity of the government.
Free food, clothing, and shelter isnt all we Democrats have given to women, Pelosi went on. Thanks to Secretary Sebelius, the government has now mandated free birth control for every woman. And President Obama has appointed two women to the Supreme Court. No other president has done that.
Pelosi admitted to being buoyed by polls showing that Democrats are favored by 65% of female voters. The path to government of, by, and for women is clear, Pelosi said. Voting for President Obama is a no-brainer. However, he cant do it alone. We need Democratic majorities in Congress to ensure this transformation wont be blocked. If women unite to vote their interests the Democratic Party will be running things from here on.
In related news, according to official records, women on the White House staff are paid 18% less than men. This is okay, though, according to White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew because most of the men have more years of experience. Theres also the issue of job performance. You cant just make a gender to gender comparison and conclude that somebodys getting unfair treatment.
Ironically, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act passed by a Democratic majority Congress in 2009 requires exactly that comparison and conclusion. Whether this Act will be enforced in this instance is unknown.

Is it my imagination...or has Pelosi looked much older since losing leader of the House...I guess she’s missing her ‘Power’ pill. What kind of men are the Democrats to let someone like Pelosi lord it over them...

Insider Trading Pelosi can’t wait to get back to those mega-bucks bribes.
Limousine Liberal scum like her make themselves fabulously wealthy in Congress and the White House.
Reference: Pelosi’s net worth increases 62% in one year, while the rest of us are being impoverished by her policies.
I have a friend who was assigned to CA for her job for several months, and the contest for the most hated politician was between San Fran Nan, Maxine dimwit Waters, Diane Fineswine and Barbra Boxers or briefs.
Three hooked before the ping!
Beats me. Every time I see her I throw up in my mouth. So I avoid looking at photos of her.

That’s probably why Ann Coulter has said that as a woman, she would not mind the repeal of the 19th Amendment. Without the women’s vote, another Democrat would never get elected president.
Good one, John. My sis-in-law posted an overheard snippet of parental guidance in the ER where she works. Mother to 17 year old daughter; "They're gonna stop payin' for you next year, we really need to get you pregnant, girl."
Is that why many prominent Dems are choosing to retire then run for re-election, because their chances at taking back the house are excellent?
Thanks for the chuckle, and the ping John. Another good one.
*guffaw!*
Give her a microphone and get out of the way!
She is a Republican campaign asset, there is no question.
She’s right, too — the Democrats will be swept right into the Democrat dustpan and emptied into the Democrat trash.
Whoops, sorry for the redundancy. ;’)
dang you got me John.. good one
