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 b!tch... and one day we will try you for treason and sedition.
LLS “
And Obama too! Maybe they will be Cell mates!
Freekitty-the Fox Broadcasting network, the one that has entertainment programs like 24, the Simpsons , etc is the one that is NOT carrying the press conference. Fox News channel -the cable network that carries Hannity et al. WILL carry the press conference.
She’s right. Republicans should take back their party from Arlen Specter, the Olympia Snowe, John McCain, and Lindsay Grahams.
We’re already been fortunate enough to get rid of pervert Larry Craig and pork-hound Ted Stevens.
With the elimination of the RINOs, the spendthrifts, the deviants, the Country Clubbers, and the arrogant buffoons, maybe the Republicans will finally do what their conservative rank and file have been demanding for years.
Sorry, I thought Fox News was Fox News and they shouldn’t take it off of one and put it on the other. That doesn’t seem kosher.
Who the Hell wants to cooperate with Pelosi? She’s a ditz and a loser. She’s killing the country, for the benefit of herself and her party. Let her do her own dirty work.
Yeah we’re going to take back our party from the “moderate” RINOS who have run it for the last 20 years..! (you can take something “back” if you don’t have it in the first place, and Republicans are not by-and-large controlled by Conservatives)..Mrs. Pelosi is going to regret (power+ politically) she gave this advice..!
Because they will lose ad revenue if it’s on the Fox broadcast network. So will ABC CBS and NBC. Obama doesn’t care. It’s all about him.
Fox NEWS would, but not your local Fox network station. They’re showing “Lie to Me” LOL. So you can see an aptly named show, or Obama who will lie to you anyway.

I understand about ad revenue; but I would still have not shown it on either.
“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.”
Yes, just like they always were going to.
Fox Network (the broadcast network) is the one that is not going to carry Zero.
We intend to. Losing Specter was a good start.
There are some of us that do not know that Fox has other channels.
Apparently her idea of the Republicans “taking back their party” is to kick out all the republicans.
I wish I would have known there was more than one Fox channel.
Amen!
LLS
They always were going to carry it and never said otherwise. All 24-hour news cable networks would be foolish not to carry them.
Their audience is small compared to the regular Fox (over the air) network. American Idol draws around 27 million viewers whereas O'Reilly gets somewhere around 3 million. Almost ten times the number of viewers Fox News gets, and there is a rating period underway right now.
I'm sure we'll get news about these ratings tomorrow.
What an asswipe.
It is the Democratic Party that needs to be rescued. It is no longer the Party of JFK or Patrick Moynihan or even Tipp O’Neill. It has been taken over by the McGovernite/Obama tendency. In the UK, what was called ‘Militant Tendency’ took over the Labour party when it was in power in the 1970s. In the 1980s it became unelectable. Only when Tony Blair ousted Militant tendency did the Labour Party get elected again in 1997. The Democratic Party is in far more trouble than Pelosi realises.
