Nancy Pelosi: Pro-Troop Vote 'a Disgrace'

Saturday, Nov. 19, 2005 10:54 a.m. EST Nancy Pelosi: Pro-Troop Vote 'a Disgrace'

Anti-war House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is blasting last night's 403 to 3 House vote in support of U.S. troops and their mission in Iraq, calling it "a disgrace."

Complaining that House Republicans had engaged in a "deception" by calling for a last minute vote on the Iraq war, the San Francisco Democrat said the pro-troop resolution was "a disservice to our country."

Pelosi said that the "Republican majority has stooped to a new low" by forcing Democrats to go on the record against an immediate pullout.

Her California colleague, House Armed Services Committee chairman, Rep. Duncan Hunter, wrote the resolution, which asked whether members thought "that the deployment of United States forces in Iraq be terminated immediately."

"We're going to let every member answer that, and I hope the message that goes back to our troops in Iraq is that we do not support a precipitous pullout," Hunter said.

Pelosi slammed Hunter's proposal as "a political stunt and should it be rejected by this House" - minutes before she voted with the Republican majority.

To be accurate, Murtha said "our troops are now the enemy." Imagine that, the Democrats being forced to support our military against their worst instincts. No wonder Pelosi's seething on the inside about a "political stunt." No matter what face you put on it, the Democrats were blindsided last night.

CUT AND RUN DEMOCRATS!


The Pelosi LEFT WINGNUTS of the Dim party got double faked out and couldn't believe they had been out strategized and out flanked. AND THEY WERE STILL TOO STUPID TO VOTE THEIR STATED PUBLIC POSITION TO BRING BACK OUR TROOPS. Oh they know that the left wing position will ruin their chances to increase their reps in the house! TWO FACED DIM AUTOCRATS!

Talk leftist and hi diddle diddle back to the middle, as soon as the light of day shines into their little politically inbred cliques.

Pelosi is a leftist virgin, a 12 year old politician who can run faster than her political brothers! Now she has shown the nation her true colors. Pinko, two-faced socialist wing nut chartreuse in the news, and middle of the road ConSWERVATIVE blue/red?? ( get it? swerve?)on the voting record! Pelosi does not serve her constituants, SHE "SWERVES" them! "She don't have no respect for her constituants!"

Oh JINGOISM EXPOSED is so good!

Thank-you Johnson! Now run these cowards to earth and finish 'em off! Every time they bleat to a reporter about bringing the troops home, ask 'em how they voted on last nights resolution!

A last minute vote? Gee, and here I thought the Democrats wanted to bring the troops home? That ought to disappoint the Left's moobats at the craven spinelessness of their own party. Heck, even Jihad Cindy can see exactly where the Democrats stand publicly on the war. They say one thing and then they vote the opposite. Politicians are the ultimate whores... at least some of them.

Harry Reid admits he didn't read the pre war intelligence reports prepared by the CIA specifically at the request of Democrats.

Rockefeller says that only six Senators read the prewar intel reports.

Even though it sounds like our side didn't read the reports, they aren't the ones now complaining the intelligence was manipulated.

How can the left make an informed judgement the intelligence was manipulated if they never saw the intelligence?

Murtha voted to re-instate the military draft. Even Rangel didn't vote for his bill.

They are all nuts!

Pelosi said that the "Republican majority has stooped to a new low"

Hopefully the Republicans can get as "low" as the demorats. The demorats have been holding the low road far to long by themselves.

How did we force them? Any Democrat who doesn't vote his conscience but would rather keep his paycheck should resign, Nancy. Don't beef at us.

Pelosi could survive a vote to pull out the troops immediately, her district is safe. I'd venture to say at least 50 to 60 of them could survive a Yes vote without problem. It's the others that would take a highly variable hit against their ability to be re-elected. With probably only a dozen, if that, that would not be re-elected because of this vote alone.

But even 10 is a huge number to lose as the result of a single vote, thus the rats continue their have it both ways strategy. The democrats for the most part cannot vote their rhetoric becuase most of it is two-faced to begin with.

Thus, John Kerry really is the quinisential democrat.

Let us save you the trouble and money. Nancy Pelosi is an
incredibly insane woman. She gives mental illness a bad name.

That was my point.

When they do it it's OK, when we do it we are just mean spirited!

They never read the intelligence and now their going on the record in support of the War has deprived them of the moral standing to complain about it. If the President lied and kids are dying, why would you continue to support him? That's exactly what last night's vote revealed. These people can't even be who they are. They can't vote for an American defeat. And here I was thinking they had President Bush on the ropes. Nah.

It would make a pretty nifty commercial, wouldn't it? For the RNC.

Any time Nancy Pelosi says something's a disgrace, you know that something good happened.

Indeed
