Pelosi tells Republicans to 'take back their party' Posted: 02:14 PM ET

From CNN's Dana Bash and Deirdre Walsh

WASHINGTON (CNN) – Speaker Nancy Pelosi marked President Obama's 100 days in office with some unsolicited advice to Republican voters: "take back your party."

The California Democrat offered her own analysis of the political environment for her political opponents, asserting Republicans across the country are more willing to work with Democrats than their leaders on Capitol Hill.

"Yes, there is, shall we say - a 'radical right-wing' element with whom they identify. But by and large, I say to Republicans in America: take back your party. The party of protecting the environment. The party of individual rights. The party of fairness. This is not the Grand Old Party."

Pelosi concluded her long riff about the GOP by saying, "our country needs a strong diverse Republican party." Without missing a beat, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid chimed in, saying "not too strong."

We are taking back our party, but I think Tax Payer fairness isn’t her idea of fairness. She and Harry can go pound sand.

Ok Nancy, we’ll take the party back if you’ll take McCain and the rest of our RINO’S.

The reason you hear this nonsense from Pelosi is because republicans NEVER call out the democrat politicians as left wing radicals.

Republicans take it on the nose as “hardliners” when in fact they are wimps.

Why does the republican leadership not immediately counter with the reality that the dem Congress is radical - They have members who are absolute marxist disgraces.

FOX NEWS lied. They are broadcasting the President.

What a coincidence. The show that Fox (regular channel) is carrying opposite Zero is entitled "Lie To Me"....it's a good show except for when Obama is bloviating on the alphabet channels, and then it's the BEST show.

Go away and find someone else to correct. I heard on Fox News that they will be broadcasting his address tonight. The Fox News that shows OReilly, Hannity and Greta. They said they will be broadcasting the address.

No they did not. They are not giving up time on the Fox broadcast network. FNC was always going to air it

You have nailed the #1 repubic problem... no real leadership and no backbone to back it up even if we did have some leadership. Why isn't steele countering with a blistering indictment of her MOST CORRUPT and LYING leadership... her lies promising the most open and ethical Congress ever... pointing out her communist theology and her hypocrisy on business... as she is one of the richest people serving in the House. She is rancid and evil and an extreme leftists ideologue that is a direct threat to this great Nation! Why isn't steele telling America the truth??? Why isn't any other elected repubic official telling the truth about the demoncrat party??? WHY?
