(CNSNews.com) – In an interview on Thursday with National Public Radio, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said that many Republicans do not “believe in government.”
"There are many members in the Republican caucus who do not believe in government,” Pelosi said in an interview with NPR’s Morning Edition host Steve Inskeep. “And bless their hearts, they act upon their beliefs.
“So day to day, we vote here on issues that eliminate government initiatives for clean air, clean water, food safety, public safety, public education, public transportation, public housing, public health, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security.
"They don't believe in a public role,” Pelosi said. “And if you don't believe in a public role, then why do you even have to have taxes to pay for it? ... They're anti-government ideologues, and that's what the speaker has to deal with."
Pelosi also had praise for the “Grand Old Party,” which she said has made “enormous contributions to the success of our country,” but that the party has changed to be one that wants to destroy government.
“While we may argue about the size of government, the Republican Party has not been a party that says, 'I want to destroy government,” Pelosi said.
She said Republicans should “take back your party.”
“The country needs more than one-party dominance, as much as I believe the Democratic Party is the party for the middle class. ... We need to have a marketplace of ideas,” Pelosi said.
Calling it the least-important question Inskeep asked during the interview, Pelosi would not say if she believed she would become speaker of the House again.
What is the common denominator here? they are all democrats.
democrats want to make the government all powerful and at the same time take every one of our individual rights and freedom. Democrats want the government to own everything ( that's called socialism).Everything democrats do is to empower government and at the same time dis-empower the individual. the individual is small and already powerless and the government is so huge and powerful and idiot democrats think the government needs to be made bigger and more powerful. wtf is wrong with these idiots?
When will we realize that the threat to our freedom and survival is the democrat party?
The only happiness I get is when I know these goons I named will one day meet the fate Chavez has
Because the Pubs don't keep on hammering the message that the dems are waging war against the rights of Americans, they keep losing. And the reason they don't hammer that point home because the GOPe, too, is waging the same war against Americans.
Their true colors are blaring for all to see today... [see writings of Georgetown's Seidman/NYSlimes].
I see you posted your reply 3 times. And, yes it bears repeating.
Brilliant!
The only correction I would respectfully submit is....
Most Democrats don’t believe in the Constitution...
There fixed!
Satan has a stronghold on this woman, that is very clear.
The Democrat Party and the central socialist government is a racket, a con game, a stacked deck...and we keep saying “hit me”!
Damn right, they don't. Our Founders didn't either. That's why they wrote a Constitution to limit the powers of government.
Nasty Pelosi is a small minded, fascist petty tyrant with delusions of godhood.
Nasty Pelosi doesn't 'believe in government'.
Nasty Pelosi worships government.
Probably not. Can you imagine it? Seriously?
Ewwww ...
Wishing there were hundreds of them and even some demorats.
There, fixed it.
Gee...Nancy, I wish it was true...
But the GOP believes in BIG government, just not HUMONGOUS government like democrats...
Very much less than Stellar.
Some of that Botox has gone to her brain.
Nancy, why do you hate the Constitution?
Nancy, why do you support stealing from productive citizens?
communist bitch
Are you expecting us to take you seriously ?
Because it interferes with MOB RULE.
Nancy, why do you support stealing from productive citizens?
Because that is how the MOB supports itself.
