Pelosi was on this morning's Meet The Depressed. She's a mess. Her thoughts were random, her facts were missing, and her hands were shaking. She can smell power and will do or say anything to get it back. Apparently, RATS can only have 'personal' ethics problems that they need to take care of themselves. According to Nancy, the GOP has SYSTEMATIC ethics problems - probably due to their agenda like privatizing Social Security and changing the tax code.
The RATS appear to be in bigger trouble than ever before.
There is only one real democrat plan that can be summarized in three words: IMPEACHMENT, IMPEACHMENT, IMPEACHMENT.
If the Democrats win in November, can someone just put me out of my misery?
Nancy's last facelift also warped and twisted the word processing portion of her brain. But it doesn't matter if she were talking backward. The GOP (Grassley, Bond, Lugar, etc., have so botched their leadership opportunity that I'm ready to see them go.
BTTT!
IF they win a President with balls would veto everything they come up with.
Unless the Pubbies keep acting like 'Rats....
Pelosi is a Socialist - (here is her voting record)
" (Give America a raise, Iraq not mentioned)"
Let me translate this evilish into English.
"Help dims raise the minimum wage, not because it gives the little guy working for minimum wage a helping hand, but so we can pay back pork to our largest financial supporters in the Labor Unions, whose future contract negotiations are directly tied to the "Minimum Wage" index".
"We now return you to the normal programming".

Pelosi was on this morning's Meet The Depressed. She's a mess. Her thoughts were random, her facts were missing, and her hands were shaking.
So in other words, nothing new.
The Democrats are delusional, as usual.
The Democrats are still operating as if the country exists in the Industrial Age. It still hasn't dawned on them that the Information Age is a completely different beast.
In the past the Democrats held power purely based on their control of the information outlets. With the democratization of information, information has been freed from the confines of filtering by the news media. The process is far from complete, and alternative media is still in its infancy, but it is a powerful and influential infancy.
If the Democrats are going to run on the platform of higher wages, rolling back the prescription drug laws, and unimplementing parts of the Homeland Security Act, the Democrats are in for the following surprises.
1) The best way to raise wages is to give incentives to businesses to grow. Economic expansion. Cutting off the supply of illegal immigrants will also help increase wages. Open boarders are one factor in depressing wage growth in the private sector, by forcing legitimate workers to compete with illegal workers for slots, in which illegal workers carry an added bonus of being able to accept lower than minimum wage rates.
2) Artificially imposed wage increases decrease the purchasing power of the dollar and increase the rate of inflation. Being paid more does a worker no good if it means they can buy less.
3) Senior citizens will have grown accustomed to the new prescription benefit, and according to Fred Barnes, it is costing far less than projected. For those of you who don't like the plan, consider the cost of having to deal with senior citizens who skimp on their medications because they can't afford them. The medical costs of caring for senior citizens in emergency situations may be avoidable if they're able to obtain their medications at a low enough cost.
4) Homeland Security is a losing issue for Democrats. In 4 years, Americans have been told repeatedly that the Bush Administration is a fascist regime that abuses the powers granted in the Act. In that time, no additional terrorist attacks have succeeded on our soil, and the powers exercised by the government under the HSA have been relatively mild and unobtrusive. While everybody has heard about FBI agents allegedly visiting the homes of people who checked out "certain" books from the library, nobody actually knows somebody who was so visited, accosted, and interrogated to the degree that the urban legend suggests.
The Democrats are royally screwed if this is the outline of their 2006 platform.
If Bush and the GOP Congress hadn't tried to appease the Democrats so often, they wouldn't have most of their current problems.
The GOP is in serious trouble if they continue to let the Democrats control the agenda.
Impeachment and filibuster talk seems to crumble any GOP resolve. Also the border issue has to be addressed with more than election year proposals. We need solid votes. We need people who will take a stand rather than ride the fence of public opinion. We need to reassure congress that no job is secure if they continue to ignore the people of America.
My opinion of the Repuyblican controlled congress is very low backbone and they will indeed lose to Democrats. Their agenda is no more clearly defined than the oratorical misguidance of the Democrats because they make a stand for nothing except talk.
THERE WILL BE NO CHANGE IF WE DON'T USE THE POLL OF THE VOTE. The guaranteed status quo is re-election. See tagline.
"We have to be ready to win," Pelosi said, "and we have to tell (voters) what we will do when we win."
Kind of putting the cart before the ass.
Well .. raising the minimum wage is NOT GOOD FOR THE ECONOMY. It will cause layoffs in smaller businesses who cannot afford to pay those wages. If you have 10 minimum wagers in your company - you will have to let some go.
This is a no-brainer. And .. proves the dems have no brains.
Nothing new there. It's what the propagandists do. The problem is, however, that the Left is wont to take their little media constructions at face value.
They will get smashed again in November. Again.
