Pelosi turns down offer to sit with Cantor at speech

It's bipartisan date night on the floor of the House and invitations are flying. But not all are being accepted.

House Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has rejected an invitation from Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., to sit together at the President's State of the Union Address.

Pelosi moments ago announced that she had already extended an invitation to Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, of Maryland, who also happens to be a Republican.

Cantor was shot down in a tweet from the former speaker.

"I thank @GOPLeader for his #SOTU offer, but I invited my friend Rep. Bartlett from MD yesterday & am pleased he accepted."

The GOP is the dumbest party ever, bar done, freaking idiots just about every damn one of them is a complete and total fool.

One has to employ Occam's Razor and look for a simpler explanation: the Republican and Democratic Parties are not actually separate, opposed entities.

The folk are suckers to believe this new congress would make the difference...THEY ARE ALL THE SAME! Once in the LOVE to drink they DC water by the gallons! Bastard RINO’S in both house need to be booted out now before we don’t have a country left to defend!! DAMN WIMPS! REAGAN WE MISS YOU SO MUCH!!

Yep. This corrupt "Two-Party Cartel" can not let a conservative agenda spring forth as they are bought & paid for by the elites. How ironic but NEVER NEVER NEVER do the leftists ever come to the other (conservative) side. In fact when opposed the left digs in deeper.

You read my mind . . . “Decision Points” is my choice. It brings back such great memories.

Just when I think the GOP may have actually learned a lesson, they fall right into another Dem trap, and now the Dems own ‘civility’ in the eyes of the public. Boehner and Cantor should have been reading the vitriolic quotes said about the GOP from Obama and the other Rat leadership that past 10 years in front of the nearest camera they coud find; instead, Cantor now gets “rejected” by the Belle of the Ball. The GOP is disgustingly inept politically...

I am cracking up - My friend just commented to me that she suspects there will be notes being passed around that say “I like you in a bipartisan sucking up kind of way. Do you like me? YES or NO”

LOL what about this one—”I can’t sit with you because I promised Charlie I would sit with him.” Charlie says, “Nancy promised me she would sit with me.”
