New Tone. Pelosi Says Boehner Went to “Dark Side” In Bill to Reduce US Debt
Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, July 30, 2011, 6:50 PM
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi told the House floor that Speaker Boehner went to the “dark side” with his debt plan that would cut government spending. When Pelosi was Speaker the national deficit went from $162 billion to over $1.3 trillion dollars.
The Politico reported:
Right before the House voted to reject a Democratic debt-ceiling plan, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi didn’t mince words.
Pelosi pulled out a Star Wars reference on the House floor, saying that Speaker John Boehner “chose to go to the dark side” and court the most conservative members of his conference, rather than work on a bipartisan compromise.
“It’s time for us to end this theater of the absurd,” she said. “It’s time for us to get real.”
The House struck down the Democratic measure, 173-246, in a vote that was designed to fail. Boehner brought the measure up under a special rule that required a two-third majority for passage.
“This thing is not on the level,” Pelosi said before the vote.
Boehner’s office said Saturday morning that the vote on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s legislation would show that the Nevada Democrat’s plan can’t pass the House, dismissing it as a “pointless political exercise.”
Though Democrats stuck together to reject Boehner’s plan on Friday, eleven Democrats broke off and joined Republicans to shoot down Reid’s plan on the debt ceiling. They were Reps. John Barrow (Ga.), Dan Boren (Okla.), Bruce Braley (Iowa), Dave Loebsack (Iowa), Jim Matheson (Utah), Mike McIntyre (N.C.), Collin Peterson (Minn.), Mike Ross (Ark.), Kurt Schrader (Ore.), Peter Visclosky (Ind.) and David Wu (Ore.)

Here’s a summary of the case against Obama for social security and birth certificate fraud.
http://www.orlytaitzesq.com/?p=24344
Why aren’t you covering this story?
10. Printing and typesetting expert Paul Irey provided an affidavit (Exhibit 1), stating, that the document in question is clearly a forgery and contains letters and numbers from different type settings, which can be seen only in a forged document.
11. Adobe expert Chito Papa provided an affidavit, showing, that parts of the document were created in Adobe computer program in layers. (Exhibit 2)
12. Scanning and printing machines expert Douglas Vogt has provided an affidavit, showing kerning, different typesetting, different color, digital, color and grayscale intertwined imaging and other signs of forgery. (Exhibit 3)
13. At the same time Taitz, Plaintiff herein, obtained verification from the Selective Service, that Obama is using a Connecticut Social security number xxx-xx-4425, while Obama was never a resident of Connecticut (Exhibit 4, redacted selective Service certification of Barack Obama) (Exhibit 5, unredacted Selective Service certificate of Barack Obama submitted under seal)
14. Social Security Verification systems provided a response, that the Social Security number in question xxx-xx-4425 was never issued to Barack Obama, which show that Obama is fraudulently using a social security number, which was never issued to him.

This is the same Einstein that said about the Obamacare bill, “we have to pass the bill in order to found out what’s in it away from the fog of controversy.”

Nancy is the Edith Bunker of the Hill.
Rock commented:
Totally convinced the poor hag is losing her grip on reality. It seems being kicked out as Speaker of the House has fractured what little grasp she had of her world. Maybe if she’s lucky Soro’s will find a nice institution for her to live as she slips further into her fantasy world, but I really don see him as someone who give a rats posterior about those he uses and thrust aside, hope she treated her old man better than she did Americans.
Rock commented:

That must be a very early picture of Nanny Pelosi – it’s in her “small beaded necklace” period – and before she discovered Botox. Put a black pointed hat on her head, and she looks just like the wicked witch of the west in The Wizard of Oz: “I’ll get you, my pretty – and your little dog, too!”
Time to retire and count your millions, Nancy.

when harry reid tabled the boehner in two hours i guess that was bi-partisanship.

Of course anyone whose fundamental belief system is 180 degrees out of sync with the rest of the American Public would say the other side is ‘dark’.

Exactly…Republicans want to save this country drowning in red ink and put us back into the black.

Just another Political Crap Sandwich from the Dems!
Meg commented:
The only plan Harry Reid will let pass is one with tax increases and more spending. Their is no hope for a reasonable bill as long as Reid is in charge of the Senate and O is President.
Opaobie commented:
DARK SIDE? You mean like John Kerry’s top “Band of Brothers” spokesman, Wade Sanders, now serving time in federal prison for possession of CHILD PORN and who had his questionable Silver Star REVOKED? ….maybe someone needs to take another look at Kerry’s “awards”…the ones he tossed over the fence at the White House in protest in 1972 and somehow reappeared later and are on display in his Senatorial office.
Navy Secretary Ray Mabus revokes imprisoned veteran’s Silver Star
The revocation was apparently because information has come to light that would have prevented upgrading the Bronze to a Silver in 1992 and possibly even awarding any medal in the first place; they found a lot of “inconsistencies” in the after action report and statements made by witnesses at the time of the action.
“Additional information was brought to light after 1992,” she said. “Those facts could have prevented the award of the Silver Star at that time.”
…maybe the fact that Sanders was an undersecretary of the Navy under BILL CLINTON at the time his Bronze Star was upgraded to Silver Star and he may have “enhanced” his own records was part of the reason it was REVOKED.

Sandy commented:
So the race card seems to have lost its bite and Nancy is desperately searching for the right phrase to turn Americans away from the Republican Party. Perhaps she could say that the Republicans plan to strike anyone dumb who votes Democrat. But then anyone who after listening to Ms. Pe-loser still wants to vote Democrat has already been struck dumb.
Jean commented:
The “dark side” Pelosi is a comedian; she resembles Darth Vader.
Rose commented:
“There are two ways to acquire the niceties of life: to produce them or to plunder them. When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time, a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.” – Frederic Bastiat
She’s a known thief.
Sandy commented:
Poor Nancy — the race card no longer works so she is desperately searching for the right turn of phrase to force Americans to hate Republicans. How about anyone voting Democrat will be struck dumb — but then anyone voting Democrat after listening to Pe-Loser and Obama has already been struck dumb

I’m still waiting to hear Boehner stand up and say he is tired of the president and Dems whine everyday about compromise and bi-partisanship and then not compromise or show bi-partisanship. Tell them they are compromising the same as on Obamacare. Then tell them to shut up the whine and get to work.

retire05 commented:
So while Boehner kept the Republicans together, SanFranNan managed to lose eleven of her own. Perhaps those eleven have been looking at Obama’s poll numbers and have decided that it is time to vote the way their constituents want them to instead of marching lockstep with the Queen of Mordor because they would like to get reelected next year. Well, that is except Wu. He will be lucky just to stay out of jail.
It was reported that when SanFranNan and Harry (Real Estate) Reid left their meeting with the Community Organizer, they were not very happy. Their dogged determination to throw this nation into a real crisis (not a man-made crisis) is making The Won look bad. Reid said on the floor of the Senate tonight that their meeting was “not productive.”
Obama is cleaning their clock. He has relied on them, not himself, to come up with a plan to make him look good and Poor Pitiful Botox Babe keeps being thwarted by those evil Republicans.
Then yesterday, the press decided to do their jobs for a change and challenged Jay Carney on where was the written Obama plan that Obama had promised to provide the reporters last Friday. Of course, Carney made snide remarks “Do you need it in writting? You can’t take notes?” to the reporters which didn’t endear Carney to anyone. And while Chris Matthews leg is still tingling, honest (but left wing) journalist are showing signs of tiring of the dog and pony show that is the Obama administration.

This woman makes everyone in America sick to the stomach. San Francisco (her district) is the home of more perverts per thousand than any place on the planet, and they all voted for her in the last election…….. twice! She MUST go in the next election cycle. Isn’t there someone who can take her seat so that San Fran can regain their dignity?

What she is saying is that the other side is evil, that it is evil to oppose the ever-expanding size and scope of the federal government, and that all of her intentions justify the continuing subsumation of the American economy and way of life into that of the federal government.

Nancy Pelosi is an idiot. Her father was the Mayor of Baltimore. She is hard core left, and her I.Q. is certainly below average. She represents the most FREAKISH constituency in the Nation.
I repeat, she represents the most FREAKISH Congressional District in America.
THEY ELECT HER FOR A REASON.
Same with Barney Frank, and nearly every Urban “African-American” libtard Dem.

When Pelosi was Speaker the national deficit went from $162 billion to over $1.3 trillion dollars.
If the Republicans have any brains left, they’ll counter this old shrew tomorrow by reminding everyone of the facts regarding the Democrat spending spree that occurred under Pelosi’s speakership.
Never, ever let this crap go unchallenged.

Do not count on them to display any brains. They have had over 4 years to do so, but shook with fear than someone might connect them with George W Bush. You do know that fellow that singlehandedly created this mess? Listen and watch them all nod their heads and preface each discussion with ‘Bush left the mess.’
I like George W Bush but can not stand most of these wimps that can not explain who had the House from 2006. The sorry gutless wimps sat there and created this disaster by not standing up and shouting while their country was going down. No, they were so scared of being called the same names that Dem/MSM called Bush that their brains never considered fighting.
J commented:
Saw her last night at the podium. She either had a stroke, overdosed on botox or was drunk, could barely make out what she was saying and she looked really awful.
At the end of her long harangue, which was interrupted multiple times by applause, she grasped the podium, looking truly mad as a hatter, and you could see her saying “I’m back, I’m in control and the House will be mine, again, soon.” As bad as she has always looked, she looked truly, scarily, mad.

How long will it take her to sky-write, surrender Dorothy!
