Nancy Pelosi Had A Pretty Simple Response To Ted Cruz's Bizarre 'SNL' Claim

"I don't know if he didn't know what he was talking about, or if he intentionally wanted to use a scare tactic, but that is as far from the truth as it could be," Pelosi told Meyers, who said he "can't do time" in jail....

I clicked over, but lost interest after I saw her face and vomited. So I never really got the simpletons’ answer. Like I give Shia Muslim what that nit wit Pelosi says or the idiot Seth Meyers, the most unfunny host in America.

How was it that she was the Speaker of the House? Someone explain.

THe Queeen of Hearts personally vetted Obama when his home state of Hawaii was reluctant to submitt his name for Democrat nominqation.

The media is in direct collusion with the Obama administration and Democrat Party on news items. It was the case with the forged Waco memos (AP and CBS were both provided them by a Rat contact), it was the case with the sex chat from the Republican to an aide, it’s been the case on the IRS scandal, there are plenty of other examples (Journolist even made it clear).

Didn’t the administration pursue the producer of anti-Obama films (Dinesh D’Souza)?

Corporations have influence over elections. Some are more equal than others, it seems.
