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."

There are several Fox channels, Fox Broadcast, Fox News, Fox Business, Fox Movie Channel, Fox Sports Net and probably a few more that I can not remember.

I disagree with your assessment that it is the RINO party. The majority is not RINO. I am not a RINO. There are plenty of good Republicans like DeMint, Ensign, ect that are fighting the good fight. I would rather steer the ship than jumping to a dingy. With all due respect, the Independents have never done anything, nor will they. It is just a "feel good" gesture, the same as all the others. If conservatives leave the party then the party will never be more conservative.

“asserting Republicans across the country are more willing to work with Democrats than their leaders on Capitol Hill. “

Um, NO, we aren’t.

As fast as the RATs are destroying the country, her wish won’t be a hard task. Queen Pelosi must have blocked out the Tea Parties and what they mean.

No, no and no. Murdoch is News Corp, Mays is Clear Channel and Redstone is Viacom.

Although, weirdly enough Clear Channel owns FOX Sports Radio.

Is Robert Murdoch part of Viacom?

Murdoch isn't PART of anything. Other things become part of Murdoch. However I do not think he is connected to Viacom or Clear Channel.

it wasn’t Foxnews that said they weren’t covering it, it is Fox Network that isn’t carrying it.

Someone needs to free you, Kitty.

Never fear, liberals are having apoplexy that Fox is going to show American Idol.

When they released the statement saying that, they also said they would carry the press conference on Fox News Networl and Fox Business Network. They did not lie.

I’m sorry you did not know that Fox had other networks than the news networks. They do.

Why Ms. P., that is exactly what we are doing by taking out the trash one piece of garbage at a time. Thanks for caring so much, and you will soon know when our mission is finished.

You need to give more backhanded compliments.

“You need to give more backhanded compliments.”

Wow. This from the poster who told MeanWestTexan:

“Go away and find someone else to correct.”
