WASHINGTON, June 14 /U.S. Newswire/ -- House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi joined other House Democratic leaders at a press stakeout this morning after the Democratic Caucus meeting to discuss government accountability and congressional oversight. Below are Pelosi's remarks:
"Thank you, Chairman Clyburn. I want to join you in acknowledging the excellent work that the Blue Dog Coalition has done, under the leadership of Mr. Tanner and Mr. Cardoza. Because of the intellectual resource that the Blue Dogs are to our Caucus, the position of no new deficit spending, pay-as-you- go has become the Caucus position for all Democrats in the House, and it is an integral part of our New Direction to take us to fiscal soundness.
"On the first day that Congress comes into session next year, if Democrats are successful at the polls, the first piece of legislation will include our reform package to make it an honest Congress, second, we will do our civility package to make it a bipartisan Congress, and third, we will pass our accountability legislation that will say no new deficit spending, pay-as-you go, and audit the books. I thank the Blue Dogs for their leadership on this.
"Nowhere is the need for a New Direction for America more obvious than in Iraq. Certainly, the most important is the loss of life; we passed 2,500 lives lost, and nearly 20,000 have been injured, half of them permanently. We also face the loss of our reputation in the world and the loss of our strength in terms of our military capability to protect our security.

Dear Wanne Be Pelosi.
Certainly, the most important is the loss of life I am betting more peopled were murdered in your state in just the past year than troops killed in Iraq!

Well this will fire up the base!
Between Hillary shrieking "We need to win elections!" and Pelosi eye-bulging "A New Direction!" I think the month's quota on vague poli-speak is covered.

"On the first day that Congress comes into session next year, if Democrats are successful at the polls, the first piece of legislation will include our reform package to make it an honest Congress articles of impeachment and dropping of ethics violations against all democrats, second, we will do our civility package to make it a bipartisan Congress, and third, we will pass our accountability legislation that will say no new deficit spending, pay-as-you go, and audit the books. I thank the Blue Dogs for their leadership on this.
