(San Francisco 12/29/08) In a statement issued today to be run in tomorrows NYTimes, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said this in regard to the implementation of Barack Obamas social and economic reforms:
It is without question the new Democratically controlled Congress and Senate need the support of Republicans in bringing a new dawn to America after 8 years in the abyss. It would be absolutely irresponsible for Democrats to pass these reforms, enabling Americans to get back to work, Universal Health Care and needless and overly costly programs without the support of Republicans.
The main problem is, Democrats can of course pass these with no help or support from the now majorly minority party, but in the unlikely event things were to go horribly wrong, the Democrats would have no one to blame but themselves and normal Americans would point their finger squarely at us. If at least 1 Republican joins in the effort to enact reforms, we would then have the other party to point the finger at. Its a simple numbers game really, we desperately need their support so we can use it as a method to shift blame.
When asked why they just didnt enact everything without support from across the aisle, Pelosi said, I never said we wouldn't and we will gladly take full credit should things work out, but, this is America. Never, ever take personal or party responsibility when things go wrong and can be successfully blamed on someone else.
Developing..
Let’s all join hands as we go off the cliff so that San Fran Nan can turn around & blame Republicans for whatever disaster awaits!
Guess it might have be useful for San Fran Nan to have been ever so slightly nicer and respectful to the REPUBS.
No way Jose.... any Republican voting for their spending spree needs to be dethroned... this is the same scam she pulled to pass the $750 billion bailout and just so she can pass the blame across the aisle when it fails and people get even angrier than they are now... did you hear GM and Chrysler just spent $600 million on three full page ads to thank Americans for their bailout????? they are keeping their golf course that loses $28 million a year, too.... I am in no mood to bail anyone out at this point.
The words "Republicans" and "spine" haven't gone together so well lately. Even Newt has come up with some softies.
So...the pervert queen bitch, has run up against the limitations of her Politboro power grab dreams, has she?
I bet you’d also like the ass of an 18-year-old too, but you ain’t going to get it.
turns out, it became the truth..unfortunately..
