So, Nan, where is your bill to require that Congress be subject to all the same laws as everybody else without any special privileges? Where is your bill to tie Congressional pay to the average wages of their constituents? Talk is cheap, ma’am.

republic not democracy, founding fathers created liberty and freedom not sacrificing them.

Well, it took 22 responses before getting to the truth, but you nailed it! We are not a “democracy”’ (which is mob rule), we are a Republic.

Maybe they should say the pledge to allegiance more—”and to the REPUBLIC for which we stand...........”

You ever notice that when a prominent liberal comes up with whopper like this, you sit there and think, “Hey, there the ones who do that”?

...we are a Republic...

One problem here is that those who are elected to represent us do not represent us. The other problem is that there are too many morons who vote for malfunctioned representatives.

“Really, we have to look to the future and say, ‘We have to take back our democracy,’” Pelosi said at the National Women’s History Museum. ”This is a government of the plutocracy, of the wealthy, or of the few — oligarchy

OMG. What a freakin moron. This women has many millions of dollars and she can make this statement and with a straight face?
Oh that’s right her face is molded that way!

Cringe-Worthy. Indeed.

10 from Nazi Nanzi:

http://www.newsrealblog.com/2010/12/27/top-10-most-outrageous-quotes-from-nancy-pelosi/

1.“The Bible tells us in the Old Testament, ‘To minister to the needs of God’s creation is an act of worship. To ignore those needs is to dishonor the God who made us.’ On this Earth Day, and every day, let us pledge to our children, and our children’s children, that they will have clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, and the opportunity to experience the wonders of nature.”

Nice. The only problem is the Old Testament contains no such quote.

2. “This initiative is funded by the high end – we call it Astroturf It’s not really a grassroots movement.”

Just gut-wrenching hypocrisy -Astroturf is all the Dem Socialists know, so naturally she accuses her political opposition of what her side does in spades.

3. “Every week we don’t pass a Stimulus package, 500 million Americans lose their jobs.”

Yeah, she actually said that.

4. I’m confident…I’m hopeful that we’ll have a (health care) bill as a Christmas present for the American people.

This, after polls were showing a majority of the American people were against it, after several weeks of bruising (for Dems) town hall meetings in which citizens voiced their opposition to the bill, and after hundreds of thousands showed up in Washington to protest the bill…

5.. You go through the gate. If the gate’s closed, you go over the fence. If the fence is too high, we’ll pole-vault in. If that doesn’t work, we’ll parachute in. But we’re going to get health care reform passed for the American people.

At the time, 61% of the American people were saying it was time for Congress to scrap ObamaCare.

6.“Unemployment benefits are creating jobs faster than practically any other program”

Imagine how many jobs we could create if everyone quit their jobs! Wait…..

7. “I believe in natural gas as a clean, cheap alternative to fossil fuels.”

Needless to say, natural gas is a fossil fuel.

8. “I think it’s unAmerican.” (to enforce immigration law).

She said that to a Hispanic audience, and refused to clarify the statement when Fox News called her office later on for comment.

9. Well, the family planning services reduce cost. They reduce cost.

This was in response to a question from George Stephanopoulos about the wisdom of spending millions of dollars on birth control funding in the stimulus package.

10. “We have to pass the (health care) bill so you can find out what is in it”.

This stunning demonstration of political condescension was meant to calm the fears of the public – trust them – they know what’s good for us…
