Why Nancy Pelosi Charged This GOP Rep. on House Floor: ‘I Hit the Right Nerve’

Representative Tom Marino’s (R-PA) accusation that the Democratically-controlled House of the late Bush administration did not address lapses in border security had then-Speaker and now House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) charging toward him on the House floor Friday night.

“We don’t have law and order,” Marino said during debate on the border bill. “My colleagues on the other side don’t want to do anything about it. …Under the leadership of the former Speaker…they knew this problem existed. They didn’t have the strength to go after it back then. But now are trying to make a political issue out of it now.”

This had Pelosi running up to Marino to rebut the accusation off-mic and without being recognized.

“Yes it is true,” Marino said after Pelosi challenged him. “I did the research on it. You might want to try it. You might want to try it, Madam Leader. Do the research on it. Do the research. I did it. That’s one thing that you don’t do.”

“Apparently I hit the right nerve,” Marino said of the exchange. He tweeted about the specifics later:

Better roll that back to at least 54 years.

"using a false pic"

It's a real pic and I never claimed it was illegal alien using, vineyard owner Pelosi in the pic.

[Pontiac]

Wow her eyebrows were actually on her superior orbital ridges back then.

One more face lift and her eyebrows will be above her hair line.

[jjotto]

Yep. Muller Brothers Oldsmobile Tires and Carwash, 1951. Life Magazine. Pelosi would have been 11 years old.

If you can find them, there are other very funny pictures from that set.

“It’s a real pic”
I understand! I think it’s funny as all git out! It’s just that the pic has been so busted,.,,,,,,, I wish it were her, but the pic is from 1951, and she would have been 11. She would have been “healthier” than Annette!
But I don’t want to argue, or have you feel any animosity towards me, as we’re on the same side! I’d just rather use truthful things against her! Hope you understand?

...........I swear I saw her in a lineup at The Mustang Ranch about 40 years ago! Think she wanted 5 bucks as I recall.

[GeronL]

I bet those eyebrows are drawn on with a bic pen

IT'S ABOUT ****ING TIME !

[Paladin2]

Pelosi has more than earned the right/status to be smeared.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

You’re right.

[Pontiac]

OH come on!

The woman is a one per center.

I am sure she can afford a Parker!

[OneWingedShark]

the left has become full blown authoritarian.

I don't think it's wise to say the left as there are some people who don't count the Republican party as included in that.
Better descriptors are absolute rather than relative: totalitarian, for instance.

Actually, he was talking about the first two years of the zero administration, not the last two years of Bush.

Looks like the crazy loon wants to instigate another Free Soil brawl. This issue IS roughly on the same scale as whether Kansas should enter the Union as a free or slave state.

February 06, 1858

The most infamous floor brawl in the history of the U.S. House of Representatives erupted as Members debated the Kansas Territory’s pro-slavery Lecompton Constitution late into the night of February 5-6. Shortly before 2 a.m., Pennsylvania Republican Galusha Grow and South Carolina Democrat Laurence Keitt exchanged insults, then blows. “In an instant the House was in the greatest possible confusion,” the Congressional Globe reported. More than 30 Members joined the melee. Northern Republicans and Free Soilers joined ranks against Southern Democrats. Speaker James Orr, a South Carolina Democrat, gaveled furiously for order and then instructed Sergeant-at-Arms Adam J. Glossbrenner to arrest noncompliant Members. Wading into the “combatants,” Glossbrenner held the House Mace high to restore order. Wisconsin Republicans John “Bowie Knife” Potter and Cadwallader Washburn ripped the hairpiece from the head of William Barksdale, a Democrat from Mississippi. The melee dissolved into a chorus of laughs and jeers, but the sectional nature of the fight powerfully symbolized the nation’s divisions. When the House reconvened two days later, a coalition of Northern Republicans and Free Soilers narrowly blocked referral of the Lecompton Constitution to the House Territories Committee. Kansas entered the Union in 1861 as a free state.

For the last 50 year, the last bunch that took border control seriously was the Eisenhower administration.

How Eisenhower solved illegal border crossings from Mexico

History now proves that if, like Eisenhower, you actively enforce immigration laws then illegal aliens will voluntarily leave before they get caught and forcibly deported.

On the other hand, if, like Obama, you announce that you will not enforce immigration laws then an endless horde of illegal aliens come streaming in across the border.

Our next President must enact Eisenhower's program of actively enforcing immigration laws and deporting illegal aliens within days after taking office.

The Democrats and the lamestream media will scream bloody murder, but the illegal alien problem will be solved before the next Congressional elections.

Botox= BOtulinium TOXin. Yes, it’s a strain of food poisoning that has the ability to paralyze facial muscles- thereby reducing wrinkles. You’d have to be bat s**t crazy to willingly have this crap injected into you in the first place. We’re arguing cause and effect here but the end product is still the same: Nancy Pelosi= Barking moonbat.

A hanging question is: How to make the LIVs wake up and dump the 'rats who are not actually doing things in the LIVs best long term interests?

I have no idea how to accomplish that.

True dat. And they are anything but "liberal."

I'm using "progressive."
