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."

Wish I would have known there was more than one Fox channel.
Independent. Although I’m a strong conservative constitutionalist...(is that a word?)
LLS
Me too. We really need to get him out of office.
Did you know I just noticed this morning that Fox has yet another channel (underneath Fox News, at least on Dish Network)...it’s Fox Business. Hmmmm....
In a time where so much is being made about our first black president, Ann Coulter made the following observation in her column of 2/25/2009:
“But as long as the nation is obsessed with historic milestones, is no one going to remark on what a great country it is where a mentally retarded woman can become Speaker of the House?”
It’s worth repeating today!!!!
Well, you know about the good one. ;-)
Alls I can say is this stupid broadcasting of Obama better not preempt my LOST....
:<)
What's this about "diversity"? Can they create election rules that require a party to meet "diversitty" quotas to get candidates on the ballot?
Where was she when the commies and perverts took over her party?
She isn't dividing anyone.
The division comes from RINO's and Conservatives.
Pelosi is a demented liberal.
Nance, it figures that the one time in a long time that you said something intelligent, you’d immediately go and bugger it up.
FOX has a number of Cable Channels:
FOX Business Channel;
FOX News Channel;
FOX Sports Channel;
FOX Movie Channel;
The FX Channel;
Rupert Murdoch plans to rule the world.
I was a Democrat and liberal, then Declined to State, until I realized that there are only two adult tables, the Republicans and the Democrats. Republicans best represent my values. Being Republican doesn’t mean that I am any less independent. Like you I am a strong conservative and constitutionalist. The Republican Party is a big tent. Their history is one to be proud of, freeing slaves, being first to give women the right to vote, starting the civil rights movement (Martin Luther King was a Republican), fighting tyranny, liberating millions, bringing down the Berlin Wall thereby reuniting a county, standing up for the unborn, and the list goes on. I’ll never be a Democrat again, nor will I vote for one.

Is Robert Murdoch part of Viacom? Or ClearChannel? Or are they all one in the same? ;)
Fox News and Fox are two different things. Sort of like MSNCB and NBC.
Yeh, I was a Republican, but just don’t agree with the majority of the party anymore. It’s not Republican...and I don’t want to be a part of the “RINO” party.
That said, I also want “them” to know, I am no longer a Republican. Maybe if they see us conservatives move away from them, they’ll get the message. Maybe.
So she’s telling the RINOs to hurry up and finish usurping the Republican party. Well if Republicans follow through on that advice, the party will split in half, and the conservatives will move on to a third party. Of course she wants that.
