Hoyer (again) says he believes Pelosi

Majority Leader Steny Hoyer is trying to clarify exactly what he meant when he said last night "I don't draw that conclusion" when he was discussing Speaker Nancy Pelosi's comments about the CIA misleading Congress.

Hoyer sent POLITICO a statement today clarifying that he believes Pelosi, trying to tamp down the notion that there's any space between himself and the speaker on this issue.

“I have known Speaker Pelosi for more than 45 years, and I believe her," Hoyer said. "The Republicans’ focus on what she knew and when is a political distraction meant to divert attention from the question of whether the Bush Administration allowed torture to be used.”

I think we should try to change his mind. If Hoyer throws in the towel on Pelosi. She is toast. Write him to let him know what you think and his support of Pelosi.

So...big surprise...Hoyer is a bare faced liar too.

[WellyP]

The Congress critters have a lot of respect for Hoyer but they FEAR Pelosi. They will not cross Hoyer but they WILL cross Pelosi if they think they can get away with it.

We are much better off with Pelosi there BECAUSE she is such an idiot.

I love it when RATS start “clarifying” earlier statements.Between Pelosi herself.....Hoyer (who’s changed from “she’s lying” to “she’s telling the truth”)...to Panetta and Lieberman (who’ve both said that she’s lying)...there are enough film/audio clips to make 10,000 campaign ads in October 2010.

One liar lying for another liar. He needs to be shown the door as well.

I believe her too - believe she is a liar.

Oh my, they ran some polls and are convinced they can withstand this.

Well there is at least one Democrat willing to go down with the Good Ship Pelosi. I hope more stay aboard to sink with her.

He’s pretty damn gullible, then.

“I have known Speaker Pelosi for more than 45 years, and I believe her,” Hoyer said. “<<<<<

45 years!!!!!!...and herein lies the problem....Elitist “professional politicians”...After a term representing “We the People”...their sole interest switches to getting reelected!!!

NO MORE INCUMBANTS!....ANY PARTY...Go home and work as a private citizen... live under the the laws u made for the private citizens...

Hoyer wants Pelosi's job, HE has to stay above the fray. Why would anyone believe anything Hoyer says anyway anytime?

Hoyer gets a mention in this -

Hoyer is Pelosi’s manservant anyway, so what would you expect him to say?

“I have known Speaker Pelosi for more than 45 years”

If that’s not calling SanFranNan a tired old crone who needs to shuffle off to the nursing home, I don’t know what is.

Steney Hoyer wants that Speaker job.....REAL BAD he wants it.

Unfortunately for the rest of us, if Hoyer becomes Speaker, he’ll be ten times worse a threat to liberty than the snaredrum faced Pelosi.

That's lame, Steny. You're supposed to want to believe her. You aren't going to get the speakership by being a sissy.
