Is Pelosi Panicking? Leaked Memo Lashes Out at Republicans
Human Events ^ | 29 January 09 | Connie Hair

Posted on 01/29/2009 7:57:16 AM PST by Clinton's a liar

This is a memo from Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Democratic members sent after the stimulus vote yesterday. Pelosi is apparently panicked at Republicans’ success in uniting against her hyperpartisan actions in shutting them out of the formulation of the stimulus bill and in peeling nearly a dozen Dems off to vote in opposition.

Here is the full text of the memo leaked to HUMAN EVENTS this morning.

Memo
To: Interested Parties
From: Brendan Daly
Re: The Republican Problem
Date: January 29, 2009

The House Republican Leadership put its Members in another politically untenable position yesterday: trying to reclaim the mantle of lower taxes and small government -- at the exact time when economists of every ideological stripe agree that government investments are the only way to get our economy moving again and make us competitive for the long term.

So yesterday, while we are facing the greatest economic crisis in decades, Republican House Members ended up voting unanimously against:

“Pelosi is not smart enough to write this.”

Every time I see Pelosi on the news she has that silly grin.
I believe she thinks she is a star that has to always pose.
She probably grins to her mirror every chance she gets.
Well, it is not helping her. she looks very stupid.

And, please Obama, close your mouth now and then.
The 3 year old that lives next door has his mouth open when
he's busy.
Obama, you are old enough to know you don't keep your mouth open.

Democrat Vote Buying “Stimulus” Bill to Give Tax “Credits” to Illegal Aliens?

Even Soros the maniacal America hater said the bill was mostly for social changes and would do zip for the economy. They need to get all the social crap out INCLUDING ACORN. How dare they think we are paying for ACORN so they can make sure zer0 is reelected and had can use the final 4 years to complete the taking down of America. I think not. zer0 is a puppet, he doesn't have a clue what he's doing.

A hidden story here is that this vote was 14 votes away from failing. That’s almost as many Dems that voted against it. Amazing!

Yep! Nasty Nan has a problem on her hands.

What you told him was correct. There is a nice part of the article that made me smile.

“This is not the first time the Republicans in the House have unanimously voted against a needed economic package. The last time, in 1993, when Democrats voted for tough action to clean up after Republican economic mess, not a single Republican voted for the legislation that produced record surpluses and a balanced budget.”

1993 - ah to remember that time. The next election brought us the Republican revolution. So I’m upbeat that, indeed, history just might repeat itself.

And Pelosi is trying to pass this hypocritical crap that everyone who votes for the stimulus package being democrats are ‘nonpartisan’ and ‘unifying’, but all the repubs who voted against it is ‘partisan’ and ‘divisive’.

How can the repubs not be the same thing as the dems - non-partisan and unifying? All the for votes were dems - Pelosi trots them out as heroes. All the repubs vote nay - are they not just as heroic?

She’s the queen of hypocrisy. She’s as non-partisan as Chuck Schumer is pro-gun.

Dear MoveOn Team.

You don’t need any Republicans. Democrats have strong majorities in BOTH houses of Congress and they also have the Presidency.

If Democrats want the bill passed, they can vote it in on their own and take ALL the credit for its success.

Liberal woman politicians don’t have to be pretty, which is good for them, cause there aren’t many pretty ones to be found. Most of their male voters suffer from SSAD or are emasculated, psychological eunuchs. With their female voters I think female politician unattractiveness is actually a plus and gives credibility.

Sorry, I disagree. Republicans have offered alternatives.

The majority of Americans disagree with the bailout crap.

They want tax cuts and they don’t want a Big Brother government. Hussein & Company are promoting both.

Once they create economic slaves of the American people, they’ll begin their agenda of dismantling our other liberties.

Thanks Ernest! That memo doesn’t appear to be anything but a propaganda piece, so Pelosi probably ordered that it be “leaked”.

Stimulus Package Losing Support (?) ( I hope so!)

“So yesterday, while we are facing the greatest economic crisis in decades,”

A crisis that the Democratics committed.
