Pelosi's countdown: She ticks off a list of changes, including a new Iraq strategy
SFC ^ | Nov. 5, 2006 | Marc Sandalow

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."

Queen Botox is a freak show herself and quite frankly, I'm proud to be a member of that "radical right wing of the Republican party"! Everytime she opens her mouth she spews such hatred it's just incredible!

"freak show"? Has she looked in the mirror lately? That pretty much describes her and her botox-filled DUmocrat buddies.

I don't look for another GOP president in my lifetime.

That is a very long time for a youngster like you. :) Cheer up. The Dem bench is rather thin for 2008, while the GOP has three strong possiblilities, with two of them actually fit for office.

"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."

This is scrappleface, right? Or some sort of satire? Even DumbAsAStump Pelosi can't be calling the United States government "a freak show" nor can she be stupid enough to claim they're trying to get all the money to the top 1%. What good would that do? The consumer class isn't the top 1%. So this is sarcasm, right? Right? Hello?

No, this is vintage Pelosi, the genuine article.

Also see her comments about the Saddam verdict:


Pelosi Statement on Saddam Hussein Verdict

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1732763/posts

“Unfortunately, the verdict is a solitary incident in a country wracked by sectarian violence and instability. Saddam’s conviction and sentencing for the crimes he committed against his own people in the 1980s were expected. It remains to be seen whether the results of the trial will have any effect in ending the civil war that now engulfs Iraq.

“Nearly three years after Saddam’s capture, the U.S. Central Command said that Iraq is near chaos. That is clear evidence of the lack of progress in bringing security to Iraq and bringing American troops home.

“The failure of President Bush and his Administration to have a plan in place before the war started to complete the mission successfully was a disservice to our troops, and has come at a huge cost in casualties suffered, the degradation of our military’s readiness and in hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars. The scope of that failure is not lessened by the results of Saddam’s trial.”

I noticed in todays Chronicle, it is a question of how many seats the Democrats are going to win by not if they are going to win and take the House. I hope the GOP holds both houses so we can enjoy the slashing of wrists by the MSM and their liberal cohorts.

I find that whole thought process hysterical. On one hand she complains that they can't work with the Reps. BUT she can negotiate with people of a different language and culture. How's that going to work? Mafia style?
