Pelosi: GOP is ‘Laissez, Laissez, Laissez, Laissez, Laissez, Laissez, Laissez-Faire’ By Terence P. Jeffrey June 21, 2012
(CNSNews.com) - At her Capitol Hill press conference on Thursday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said congressional Republicans have stalled and diverted attention from legislation that would create jobs because they embrace a philosophy of “laissez, lassez, laissez, laissez, laissez, laissez, laissez faire.”
Pelosi made the statement after pointing out that House Republicans were moving to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt rather than moving to legislation to fund transportation programs and extend low interest rates on student loans.
“Combined with their threat on the debt ceiling, the Republican delay injects not only uncertainty--that has prevailed for awhile--paralysis, paralysis in our economy," said Pelosi.
"We hear it over and over again from businesses large and small, any threat to our credit rating, to the full faith and credit of the United States of America, contributes to a paralysis on the part of businesses who want to hire but are not," she said.
"Why would they do such a thing? It’s because it’s their philosophy," said Pelosi. "They are the party that makes Adam Smith look like a Keynesian. They are laissez, lassez, laissez, laissez, laissez, laissez, laissez faire. No supervision. No regulation. No discipline. And to those who would exploit the system for privatizing the gain and nationalizing the risk in our financial transactions. Laissez, laissez, laissez faire in terms of they don’t want any initiatives for clean air, clean water, food safety, public safety, public education, public housing, public transportation, public health, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security.
"This is what they believe, no government," said Pelosi. "And bless their hearts, they act upon their beliefs. And their beliefs are dangerous to a thriving middle class in our country.”

Pelosi is cracking up! She is nuttier than a fruitcake.......
I respectfully suggest that we all send her a little note today:

;-)
I’m surprised her face doesn’t crack up and fall right on the floor when she cracks that phony smile. Laissez faire is exactly what should be done with her.
There she goes again, talking about her vagina.
Yeah? And so?
If I’m making money, I’m also spending money. THAT employs people as well, even if I don’t directly hire anyone.
I can guarantee you that I can spend MY money more efficiently, and generate more economic activity, than that stunned c-word can.
Democrats are Commie, Commie, Commie, Commie, Commie, Commie, Commie, Commie Marxists.
It must be painful for her family to see her diminish into senility. Haven’t the people of California suffered enough?
Yes, but she's from San Francisco and in a lot of ways that's not reflective of CA. Answer - Term Limits!
Democrats are SOCIALISM, SOCIALISM, SOCIALISM, SOCIALISM.
Democrats LIE about the real meaning of “Laissez Faire”.
The Myth that Laissez Faire Is Responsible for Our Present Crisis

Laissez-faire capitalism has a definite meaning, which is totally ignored, contradicted, and downright defiled by such statements as those quoted above. Laissez-faire capitalism is a politico-economic system based on private ownership of the means of production and in which the powers of the state are limited to the protection of the individual’s rights against the initiation of physical force. This protection applies to the initiation of physical force by other private individuals, by foreign governments, and, most importantly, by the individual’s own government. This last is accomplished by such means as a written constitution, a system of division of powers and checks and balances, an explicit bill of rights, and eternal vigilance on the part of a citizenry with the right to keep and bear arms. Under laissez-faire capitalism, the state consists essentially just of a police force, law courts, and a national defense establishment, which deter and combat those who initiate the use of physical force. And nothing more.
The utter absurdity of statements claiming that the present political-economic environment of the United States in some sense represents laissez-faire capitalism becomes as glaringly obvious as anything can be when one keeps in mind the extremely limited role of government under laissez-faire and then considers the following facts about the present-day United States:...
All I heard was "lezzie". Must've been a vagina monologue.
She said that as if it were a bad thing.
She is. And this is just the beginning, especially if they lose the elections. Already unbearable, they will be absolute lunatics after that.
Pelosi is Lassie, Lassie, Lassie, Lassie, Lassie, Lassie-dog ugly.
And STUPID too.
Nuttier than a fruitcake, yeah. Michelle Malkin had a post today about Pelousy claiming she could have arrested Karl Rove on her own authority at any time when she was Speaker and put him in the House jail (I guess she meant to imply she didn’t do that out of goodness of her heart). MM noted that the Capitol building doesn’t actually have a jail and that any kind of legal action taken by Congress would need a vote by the whole House. Seems the Wicked Witch of the West is moving from building castles in the air to occupying them.
There is a serious absence of evidence on that though. Being "less bad" than the Dems is hardly Rand'ian free markets.
Well, since conservatives believe in the Constitution, obviously, they believe in government -- just a limited one, as guaranteed by the supreme law of our land. It's called LIBERTY, Nancy. You know, like on the statue in New York Harbor?
Whereas the only real problem Democrats have with America's history of chattel slavery is that the slaves were privately owned.
I am always amazed by Democrat Doublethink: On the one hand, conservatives are dangerous because they are fascists who want to control everybody, and on the other hand, conservatives are dangerous because they believe in no government at all.
I disagree most vehemently. As evidence I present:
I rest my case.
