Uh... Nancy? If they lose reelection for voting for this bill, wouldn’t that mean that the PEOPLE don’t want it?

Oh, wait, my mistake! I didn’t realize you were saying that we were too dumb to know what’s good for us so you smarty government parents of us nincompoops will make the choice for us and we will thank you later!

By the way, I hope I live long enough to be able to use that Social Security plan that you say people love. I mean by the time I am allowed to cash in (72 years old) I will have paid into it for 56 years! I’ll bet I get a percentage of a percent back to what I paid into. If it’s even there.

I don’t think you want to be comparing your new program to the current mess. Oh, wait, I forgot. I’m an idiot and you know more than me. Sorry ‘bout that!

Exactly, we’ve had to make the best of them because we we’re stuck with them anyway, and because the rats keep coming up with more ways to enlarge their “parasite” voter base. This time it seems that enough Americans are on to the scam.

It’s always easier to give advice than to follow it yourself, right Nancy?

Is that “do a job for the American people”, or “do a job on the American people”?

I pray it never gets pushed through in any way, because like every other government expansion, we'll be stuck with it no matter who's in the majority or the White House.

Q: What do you call it when you govern against the express will of the people?

A: Tyranny.

Not to be picky, but Tyranny is not governing against the will of the people, it's governing against laws of the state.

Tyranny is a form of government rule which is characterized by violation of those laws which regulate the division and the exercises of the sovereign power of the state. It is a violation of its constitution. Tyranny is governing by an absolute ruler, and the arbitrary or despotic exercise of power. It involves abuse of authority and oppressive or unjustly severe government on the part of any ruler Definitions.uslegal.com

You could almost believe this was satire, except for the fact that Pelosi is really this crazy.

Just watched "This Weak" on ABC, they gave Nutjob Nancy 13 uninterrupted minutes by pitching softballs to her on all her talking points. She repeated "We're not here just to self-perpetuate our service in Congress," she said. "We're here to do the job for the American people" krap word-for-word like a good little communist parrot.

On the other hand, she was asked three times "Do you have the votes?" Each time the her answer was a rambling disjointed reiteration of the steps it takes to pass a Bill.

Sound like a "no" to me, therefore be on the lookout for various disguised methods to lie and cheat the Bill through on a midnight Easter Sunday “vote”.

One more thing, the single passing remark by the host regarding the polls and results of recent elections clearly indicating American Citizens do not want Øbama DeathCare did not rate so much as a single sentence response from Queen NutJob.

Apparently, representative government is something she need not concern herself with...

She’s not in any danger of losing her seat. I doubt she cares, though. This health control boondoggle is a 100 year wet dream for Progressives on both sides of the aisle.....

She’s not only insane.....she also has a nice, comfy seat that won’t be seriously challenged (remember: she’s from idiotic San Francisco).

IOW.......damned easy for her to talk about “sacrifice”. Reminds me of the imams telling young Muzzies to become martyrs. Notice how they never volunteer to be martyrs themselves?

Nancy Pelosi is a blight on the Republic.

How this deranged, politically tone-deaf harridan ever managed to finagle her way into the speakership is one of the great conundrums of modern politics.

I hate to say it, but this is precisely why the Congress might just pass something. The Dems are so wounded that for some of them, it's already a forgone conclusion that they'll be defeated, irrespective of how they vote. The most dangerous kind of animal is one that is wounded and backed into a corner.

Plus, we've had a number of Dems announcing retirements. Since they won't care about getting reelected, they'll probably vote for it.
