Pelosi chides GOP criticism of stimulus

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Saturday disavowed what she termed as Republican "personality attacks" over President Obama's stimulus bill, reiterating previous arguments that the legislation allowed for bipartisan input.
"The people who can't win on policy always resort to process and then they stoop to their personality attacks," Mrs. Pelosi told reporters here at the Kingsmill golf resort, where about 200 House Democrats gathered for a three-day retreat. "The process afforded Republicans every opportunity to put their suggestions forward and they know that."
Her defense of the House version of the stimulus package — crafted solely by Democrats and passed without a single Republican vote — were buoyed by House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer, who said there "was a lot of bipartisanship."
"The bipartisanship was in defeat of the Republican proposals that were put on the House floor," said Mr. Hoyer, of Maryland.
House Republicans quickly hit back, arguing that the White House and House Democrats are not on the same page.
"Two months ago, President Obama never thought the biggest obstacle to delivering the 'change' he promised would be Speaker Pelosi and Steny Hoyer," said Brad Dayspring, a spokesman for Minority Whip Eric Cantor. "House Republicans have made creating and protecting jobs their focus and it must be extremely frightening to like minded Blue Dogs like Brad Ellsworth and Gene Taylor that their views would be disregarded so harshly by their leaders."
Added Michael Steel, a spokesman for Minority Leader John Boehner: "The House Democratic leadership's failure to understand what bipartisanship is may explain why, despite the President's repeated calls for it, they crafted a partisan bill that was rejected by every single Republican and nearly a dozen Democrats."

Uncle Adolf used to “chide” people who criticized his Third Reich.
Three or four turncoat RINO’s do not bipartisan make ...
Nazi Pelosi!
Good point - snake’s can’t stoop...
I’m lost. Where has the GOP engaged in personal attacks over this monstrosity?
How come she didn’t bring up racism when explaining the Republican opposition...that tactic seems to ALWAYS work.
So now criticizing the bills dishonest contents is “personal”? just like a liberal.
Nazi Peolsi: “personality attacks”
Translation to English: “any comment or criticism of ultra-corrupt, non-taxpaying democrat party criminals”
THE BIGGEST PORK BILL IN HISTORY!
The democratic party ATTACK MACHINE sets the standard--when it comes to personal attacks!!!
She is insufferable. I thought they were against torture. She is torturing half the American public everytime she speaks.
She is a liar.
“You can’t just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done.”
Will Nasty Pelosi please explain how THAT wasn’t a personal attack?
LOL
Who is controlling who here. Is Obama in control of her or vice-versa.
I was wondering the same thing. Her accusation makes as much sense as does her 500 million Americans losing jobs every month.
Oh, they were ‘critical’. Oh, dear. Oh, my goodness. Heavens!
Someone tell me what the heck this woman is complaining about?
