Pelosi's countdown: She ticks off a list of changes, including a new Iraq strategy

In an interview from her Capitol office, Pelosi characterized Tuesday's vote as a referendum on the war, shrugged off President Bush's efforts to make her liberalism a national issue, described the current GOP leadership as a "freak show," and expressed confidence about her party's prospects to pick up the 15 seats it needs for a majority.

"We're going to take back the country for the American people -- Democrats and Republicans alike -- because it has been held hostage by the radical right wing of the Republican Party," Pelosi said.

"This is a freak show, and it has to come to an end," Pelosi said. "This is about a Congress and White House whose purpose is to concentrate wealth into the top 1 percent of our country at the expense of the middle class."

If Democrats win, and Speaker Dennis Hastert is forced to hand the gavel to Pelosi, "I'll receive it, in my view, from the hands of special interests on behalf of America's future."

described the current GOP leadership as a "freak show,"

Mr. Rove needs to start immediately running pictures of Henry Waxman, Charles Schumer, Ted Kennedy, maybe Helen Thomas, and of course Nancy Pelosi with this quote from her.

"We're going to take back the country for the American people -- Democrats and Republicans alike -- because it has been held hostage by the radical right wing of the Republican Party," Pelosi said.

And what do you do to hostage takers after you rescue the hostages? Think about it.

"This is about a Congress and White House whose purpose is to concentrate wealth into the top 1 percent of our country at the expense of the middle class."

Only a @#$%@#@# Democrat would describe letting people keep their own money as stealing it from someone else. Someone else they had planned to give it to.

If Democrats win, and Speaker Dennis Hastert is forced to hand the gavel to Pelosi, "I'll receive it, in my view, from the hands of special interests on behalf of America's future."

If Gruppenfuhrer Pelosi doesn't see the irony in her statement here, well . . .

"First we'd like to thank all the Conservatives who stayed home to teach their party a 'lesson!' Without you 'useful idiots' the IMPEACHING of President Bush was merely a wet dream for us!" Now it's a reality!

This left-wing MSM frame ignores the stink of the GOP. We damn Pelosi for what she says and does while electing the GOP that does no better. Yassuh, Bossman. I be votin' GOP for the last time. If there is to be revolution, let it begin in '08.

Pelosi is one of the best arguments against a Democratic House of Representatives.

"This is a freak show, and it has to come to an end,"

There she goes again, projecting her own qualities on others. Sad.

They've already succeeded in coloring all of us as far right wing.

The They in this case is a small group of liberal wachos from only part of one city, Baghdad-by-the-Bay.

One would think that this group, once identified, would lack any national influence. One would think?

It CAN happen and most likely will happen. Bush has disappointed so many of us for so long that it makes it almost inevitable.

We'll see on Tuesday....but I wouldn't hold out too much hope.

In fact, you might be better served in planning how you're going to handle a dim House for the next two years.

And unless there are some serious and substantial changes within the Bush regime, you better start planning how you're going to handle a dim administraion for the next four years after '08.

The dems , if they get back in power , will over react to a win . They will SPITE us at every turn and BLINDLY destroy anything they can that has even a hint of Bush attached to it . Like spoiled little bastards they never got over Bush's win last time . They will pass legislation based on SPIT not on whats best for the US. God save us all from them . This could be a major down turn in American history.

I do believe mssss pelosi belongs to top 1 percent of WEALTHY, thanks to the LOW wages she pays her illegal Mexicans who work in her vineyards and hotel plus other businesses she and her husband have their hands on. She doesn't care a rats patooty for the "middle class" (I thought American didn't have any "class" of people, we're all alike)and the poor. BULL, ALL SHE WANTS IS POWER!
