WASHINGTON, May 18 /U.S. Newswire/ -- House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi joined Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid and nearly 100 House and Senate Democrats today at a unity event on the steps of the United States Senate to protest Republicans' abuse of power. Below are Pelosi's remarks:
"Thank you very much, Leader Reid. I know that I speak for all of my colleagues when I say, 'Thank you Mr. Leader, for helping to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.'
"We come here to join you in this fight. We have been with you since day one because, Senator Reid, as you said in your opening remarks, 'This is the hour of decision for this nation's Senate. It is a historic moment, as well for our country and our country's future.'
"While Democrats are working on an agenda that focuses on the real needs of American families, the Republican Party is busy undermining democracy here at home. This is about our nation's future.
"What the Republicans are doing with their attempt to end the filibuster is to try to silence the minority and break the rules. They are using any means to justify their extreme agenda, even if it violates the rules and destroys more than 200 years of Constitutional checks and balances - not to mention fundamental decency and trust.
"Democrats stand united against the Republicans' abuse of power. We will not let them undermine one of the tenets of democracy - the rights of the minority. And make no mistake: that is what the Republicans are

Where is that crying baby picture .. because that's exactly what Pelosi reminded me of when she said that - I almost fell off my chair laughing.
No!!! I mean hell no!!!! She has got to stink and make strange noises in her sleep. I am not sure what the heck I would do.......either immediately commit suicide or drag her back outside and put dirt on it.
Looks like Mikulsky just said "get in my belly"!!
A good start would be for her and her liberal comrades to resign.
Too dumb to lead - never mind her "politiks".
Nancy, no one is trying to "silence" you - just trying to get you to vote - you know take a stand so the American people know where you are on issues.
Many of your comrades seem to have forgotten this, but you were elected to vote on things - for or against but vote.
If our elected representatives aren't going to represent us, what do we need them for - especially now that they're trying to advance their agendas through judicial activism so they don't have to go on the record?
Between this kind of daily behavior on both sides but mostly from the dims and the Incumbent Protection Act - aka CFR, Congress becomes more and more irrelevant.
It was one thing when we disagreed with them but now they not only disagree with the average American but they want to be able to mail in their "service" too.
Who's that in the pink ?
It looks like they melded Howard The Scream Dean with Michael Moore and ran the results thru a sex change operation.
If I were sentenced to that, suicide would be my solution.
How about a .. lying sack of puke!
Do-nothings while they are in power, then whine and endlessly play the victim.
Rush will probably be playing excerpts from this tomorrow - I bet it will be very funny.
Sen. Barbara Mikulski of MD...
Democrat slime...
Ah, yes! The RAT pack strikes again. They haven't been able to have a one on one news conference in years. The whole sorry lot of them have to come together.
Pelosi is an empty head, in search of a brain and a clue.
Yawn. Of course they won't be silenced. Who would want them to be?
Why is it that whenever this woman speaks, all I hear is the Charlie Brown, Waa Waa Waa, Waa Waa Waa....
I think I jusy automatically tune out plastic woman.
They plan to bleed on us. No prisoners.

Pelosi is the perfect example of the type of liberal Rush and the rest of us ought to be happy to keep around. To say she makes the kookiest "right-winger" look good is a great understatement.
