What Would Jesus Do? Vote Against Nancy Pelosi, For Starters
Jun 01, 2010
Nancy Pelosi recently told the Catholic Community Conference that she has a duty to pursue public policies in keeping with the values of Jesus.
Pelosi repeatedly referenced “The Word.” She didn’t, however, tell anyone that the word is “crazy,” but this video makes that quite evident:
Pelsoi: BP oil spill is Bush’s fault.
May 30, 2010
Surprise…Democrats are still pointing fingers at George W. Bush. Seems to me that anything that happens in the Gulf is Bush’s fault. Atlantic Hurricanes, the destruction of black neighborhoods and now add oil rig damage and oil spills. Suggestion to BP, instead of plugging the well with golf balls perhaps they can plug them into Nancy Pelosi’s big stupid mouth. Whether there are “cozy relationships” or not it is pure idiocy to think Democrats in DC would have been able to stop the methane bubble that caused the accident.
The Speaker Who Won’t Speak with the People
May 23, 2010
Everywhere we turn, we stumble over Nancy Pelosi. Or rather, we stumble over the micro-regulations Nancy Pelosi adores. These regulations are vast new bureaucratic steps that exact compliance in the most everyday of transactions.
In my case, I stumbled over the Speaker as I converted a pre-tax retirement account to an IRA—essentially transferring money from one bank account to another bank account. What could be simpler for a constituent (as I am) of the all-powerful Nancy Pelosi?
Jobs and tax bill to cost $134 billion
May 22, 2010
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com)—Congressional budget scorekeepers said that a grab-bag bill of spending and tax measures to be taken up this week would increase federal deficits by $134 billion over a decade.
The bill, which is likely to become a flash point in the debate over the federal debt, would raise $40 billion worth in additional revenue, according to estimates by the Congressional Budget Office and the Joint Committee on Taxation.
RNC Co-Chair: Nancy Pelosi Will Lead America to National Ruin
May 21, 2010
By Jan Larimer
Posted May 21, 2010
Jan Larimer is the co-chair of the Republican National Committee.
In the 222 years since our Constitution was ratified, the trajectory of American ingenuity has always been on the rise. It was Americans who through their sweat and toil drove innovation in agriculture and powered the industrial revolution. It was Americans who through their entrepreneurial spirit sparked the technological revolution that gave rise to the internet and the digital era.
Dem campaign chief defends Pelosi: She’s not a ‘boogeywoman’
May 19, 2010
Republicans are portraying Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) as a boogeywoman in their attempt to win back the House, according to Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine.
“I have my own theories about why Republicans often like to make the speaker a ‘boogeywoman.’ And you might divine my theories from the way I phrased that,” Kaine told a National Press Club lunch Wednesday.
Republicans made Pelosi and President Barack Obama an issue in Tuesday’s special election for former Rep. John Murtha’s (D-Pa.) seat. Both were unpopular in the district but Democrat Mark Critz, a former Murtha staffer, prevailed with a comfortable nine-point margin, which Kaine pointed out several times during his remarks.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi: House’s holy hypocrite
May 18, 2010
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is a disgrace and an embarrassment to American politics (“Be Careful What You Pray For, Nancy,” Bill O’Reilly, PostOpinion, May 14).
Several weeks ago, she instructed Catholic priests to urge their parishioners to support immigration reform. What ever happened to the separation of church and state?
This hypocrite would be screaming from the rafters if a Republican told priests to not support reform.
GOP will hook Dems with health care
May 17, 2010
Late on the night of March 21, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and President Barack Obama were celebrating the end of a nearly yearlong quest to pass a government takeover health care bill that the American people had already rejected.
While the champagne corks popped in the speaker’s office, the mood among rank-and-file Democrats was far more somber. Party leaders were rejoicing, but Democratic members, who’d had their arms twisted into voting for the bill, were more likely contemplating their next career move.
Starting last summer, Washington heard warnings from across America. From town halls to marches on the Capitol — not to mention in poll after poll — concerned citizens warned Democrats to back down from their reckless health care agenda.

Health Care Cost Cynics Were Right
May 13, 2010
One of President Barack Obama’s big health care takeover selling points was that the whole thing would cost less than $1 trillion. Even that figure, incomprehensible to most Americans, was low - and there is no doubt Obama and his liberal cronies in Congress knew it.
Congressional budget analysts say the new health care law probably will cost at least $115 billion more than had been claimed.
The additional funding was not included in Congressional Budget Office estimates during the weeks before Congress enacted the health care measure. At the time, conservatives maintained the CBO cost estimate was wrong. Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said, in essence, that the critics were lying.
They were telling the truth. Obviously, the liberals were not.

Pelosi: Despite Oil Spill, We Must Pass Energy Bill
May 04, 2010
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters Tuesday that despite the Transocean Deepwater Horizon oil spill it is still necessary to pass a comprehensive energy bill.

Pelosi Opponent Wants Speaker to Reimburse Taxpayers for Fundraiser Security
Apr 21, 2010
Nancy Pelosi’s potential Republican challenger is calling on the House speaker to pay back taxpayers after she lugged a massive security detail to a fundraiser in Palm Beach over the weekend.
The Palm Beach Post reported that there were more law officers than guests at the soiree—the detail included Capitol Police, Palm Beach officers, sheriff’s deputies and two police boats parked across the street in the Atlantic Ocean.
Dana Walsh, the long-shot Republican candidate looking to challenge Pelosi in the fall, said in a statement Wednesday that Pelosi’s campaign or the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee should reimburse taxpayers for the security expense.

Nancy Pelosi’s economics for dummies
Mar 30, 2010
ou probably missed it. But a new school of economics was unveiled last week shortly after health care reform passed the House of Representatives.

Mar 26, 2010
Nearly 2,000 House of Representatives staffers pulled down six-figure salaries in 2009, including 43 staffers who earned the maximum $172,500 — or more than three times the median U.S. household income.

They earned only slightly less than rank-and-file members of Congress, who make $174,000.

Inside the Pelosi Sausage Factory
Mar 21, 2010
Never before has the average American been treated to such a live-action view of the sordid politics necessary to push a deeply flawed bill to completion. It was dirty deals, open threats, broken promises and disregard for democracy that pulled ObamaCare to this point, and yesterday the same machinations pushed it across the finish line.

Democrats Consider New Moves for Health Bill
Mar 17, 2010
House Democrats are so skittish about the piece of legislation that is now the vehicle for overhauling the health care system — the bill passed by the Senate in December — that they are considering a maneuver that would allow them to pass it without explicitly voting for it.
‘Slaughter Solution’ could face legal challenge

Pelosi says health care bill will create 4 millions jobs
Feb 25, 2010
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi argued during the health care summit that the health care bill, if passed, will essentially erase the past two years’ job losses and create over 4 million jobs for Americans (many of them “immediately”) — a stunning figure that’s either untrue or indicative of an unprecedented expansion in the government’s bureaucratic control over the health care sector.
Many words but few revelations from health care summit
Feb 25, 2010
In the end, the big White House health-care summit was basically what it was expected to be: many hours of talk that will ultimately be seen to have served as an anchor on which Democrats steadied their legislative ship while they tried to regain momentum for a push through Congress.

The failure of a stimulus
Feb 17, 2010
Over a year ago, the American people placed an enormous amount of trust in President Obama to make good on his promises of renewed responsibility and a new era of political bipartisanship. However, when faced with an extreme economic downturn he used the crisis as a means to his liberal ends and with the help of his Congressional allies forced his failed $862 billion stimulus package on America.

Once again the Archbishop of San Francisco had to correct Speaker Pelosi on her faith:
America is Not Ungovernable
Feb 08, 2010
Recently, some analysts have suggested that the lack of major policy breakthroughs in the last year is due to the fact that America has become ungovernable. Ezra Klein argued that it was time to reform the filibuster because the government cannot function with it intact anymore. Tom Friedman suggested that America’s “political instability” was making people abroad nervous. And Michael Cohen of Newsweek blamed “obstructionist Republicans,” “spineless Democrats,” and an “incoherent public” for the problem.
Nonsense. America is not ungovernable. Her President has simply not been up to the job.

Pelosi stopped one CIA operation. So why not waterboarding?
Jan 31, 2010
As one of the top four leaders on Capitol Hill, Pelosi had numerous tools at her disposal if she had truly wanted to block waterboarding. She could have threatened to put a hold on funding for the CIA interrogation program, or held up funding for other administration priorities, or worked with her Senate counterparts to hold up nominees for senior CIA positions, or simply called the national security adviser—as she reportedly did in the case of the Iraq program. Pelosi did none of those things when she learned about waterboarding. By her silence, Pelosi gave her consent—and then misled the media by claiming she was powerless to act.
Anger all around for Democratic leaders

Pelosi ‘Way Short’ on Votes
Jan 24, 2010
The Senate approving the House’s health-care bill would be the easiest way to pass a reform package without stepping back to more partisan bickering. So says New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, our colleague Sarah Kliff, and a growing drumbeat of angry and despondent progressive voters. Sort out the particulars later, they say. For now, just grow some cojones, bite the bullet, and git ‘er done.

Health-Care Bill: The Next Step
Jan 04, 2010
Thoughts from a Senate insider this morning: “There won’t be a conference, at least not in the sense that most of us think of a conference, with public debate and amendments. This will be written like most of the health-care legislation has been written — in a Democrat’s conference room with a handful of members and White House staff.”
Ping Pong: The House Prepares To Take Up The Senate Health Care Bill

A Cold-Blooded Foreign Policy
Jan 01, 2010
In retrospect, that patina of cosmopolitanism in President Obama’s background concealed the isolationism of the liberal coalition that brought him to power. The tide had turned in the congressional elections of 2006. American liberalism was done with its own antecedents—the outlook of Woodrow Wilson and FDR and Harry Truman and John Kennedy. It wasn’t quite “Come home, America,” but close to it. This was now the foreign policy of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden.

Pelosi plays whack-a-mole on health care
Nov 18, 2009
The story so far: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi does everything in her power to get health care reform passed by keeping her Democratic caucus together.
She keeps liberals by insisting on a public option. She works on fiscal moderates by re-jiggering it. She works on lowering the cost of the package. She pays for it by taxing millionaire couples, appealing to the class-warfare crowd.
Decline Is a Choice
Oct 19, 2009

Nancy Pelosi’s risky purity
Sep 29, 2009
The Constitution doesn’t say much about the office of the speaker of the House, other than, “The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other officers.” The House rules book defines more exactly the powers of the speaker when it comes to parliamentary procedures within the chamber itself.

Sep 19, 2009
Quite often we as Americans are willing to forgive those individuals convicted of, or are presumed to have committed crimes.

The Whole Foods Alternative to ObamaCare
Aug 11, 2009
With a projected $1.8 trillion deficit for 2009, several trillions more in deficits projected over the next decade, and with both Medicare and Social Security entitlement spending about to ratchet up several notches over the next 15 years as Baby Boomers become eligible for both, we are rapidly running out of other people’s money.
