Pelosi says future of her leadership role 'unimportant,' but is a 'master legislator'
Fox News ^ | July 30, 2017

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Sunday again dismissed assertions that she should resign her long-held leadership post, saying "I am a master legislator."

Pelosi, who has been the House’s top Democrat since 2007, has faced repeated suggestion that she step down since 2010, when Republicans took control of the chamber in a wave election.

"Self-promotion is a terrible thing, but somebody has to do it," the California lawmaker told Fox News Sunday. "I am a master legislator. I know the budget to the nth degree ... I feel very confident about the support I have in my caucus."

Yeah Nancy, it's true just because you said it. Sure, yeah, that's right.

Isn’t she what’s known as a “one trick pony” - is this the only script she knows? We’ve heard it before.. Why is she repeating it?

She knows the budget to the nth degree. Hmm. Hasn’t the federal government operated WITHOUT PASSING REAL BUDGETS since she became “master”? Does Nancy talk to imaginary budgets?

She’s an egomaniac. She wants to be in charge.

Someone who has to tell you they’re a master isn’t.

“Master Legislator,” eh?

My, the raw magnificence of that elitism is breath-taking.

Such arrogance and delusions of superiority...

Because, you know the definition of insanity is right? She’s hoping it’ll change if she repeats the same thing over and over and over and ....

Here is evidence of how masterful Nancy is/was:

O'Care was done with bribes (Cornhusker Kickback, Louisiana Purchase), scheming and deeming from Nancy "Pass it to find out what's in it" Pelosi.

It was promised that ALL ObamaCare negotiation would be broadcast on C-SPAN, but Barry became The Great Reneger.

The President at the time lied to all of us - multiple times - on how premiums would plummet, you could keep your plan, and keep your doctor.

Challenges to the law brought it to the Supreme Court where Roberts re-wrote it from whole cloth, morphing a mandate to buy a product against your will to a "tax" to make it legal.

It was passed on strictly partisan lines.

It was born on the basis of Cloward-Piven - that is - to intentionally overwhelm the healthcare and healthcare insurance systems, force a failure, and cue it up for Hillary to get the single-payer tip in, since she was the shoe-in to take over the White Crib.

Single payer is, was, and always will be, the left's goal.

So if O'Care was crafted by deceit, passed unlawfully, re-written on the court's bench, how do we unwind it? An awe-shucks, "regular order". Boy Scout approach won't do it.

Do we need to play as dirty as the architects of this mess to get us back to sanity, or do we all become Euro-Weenies and eat the feces sandwich of socialized medicine where we need to have a consult with a Congressman or Bureaucrat before we can have a consult with a surgeon?

Read Reagan's speeches on socialized medicine....WAKE UP!

With her connections to Star Kist tuna, I don’t know if many people know she started out baiting the hooks on the boats.

In fact, she was a master baiter too.

Does she think we should bow down to the master?

One of the few members of Congress who could have a drumroll performed directly on her Botox-taut face. RAT-a-tat, RAT-a-tat.

I am a master legislator.

I can't stand the lady, but you have to give it to her: Anyone who says you need to pass a bill before you read it and also exempts their husband's business from minimum wage laws and still gets reelected either confirms her statement or the IQ of the people in her district...take your pick.

She said,”I am a master legislator.”
Thanks for clearing that up! I thought I heard her say, “I am a BASTARD legislator, or a Bass Turd.” Oh, so she said “Master” Oh, I see. LOL

She knows the budget to the nth degree?

Hey Nancy, how come we’re $20 trillion in debt?

That’s about $60,000 for each and every American: babies, teenagers, adults and old farts like me. It doesn’t include pets: dogs, cats, boa constrictors, ...

And Master Nancy has been around for almost the entire accumulation of that debt.

Some master legislating, there Nancy.
