The Madness of Queen Nancy


It's one thing to be serene under fire, it's another to be delusional.

More than a few Democrats in Congress are perplexed and worried that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is insisting on ramming through a 1,900-page health care bill on Saturday, just days after her party took heavy losses in Tuesday's elections. "It reminds me of Major Nicholson, the obsessed British major in the film 'Bridge on the River Kwai,'" one Democrat told me. "She is fixated on finishing her health care bridge even as she's lost sight of where it's going and what damage it could cause to her own troops."

Indeed, the Speaker's take on Tuesday's off-year elections struck some of her own members as delusive "happy talk." "From our perspective, we won last night," a cheerful Ms. Pelosi told reporters, citing her party's pick-up of a single House seat in a New York special election and retention of another strongly Democratic seat in California.

That's not how many of her own troops see it. Democratic Rep. Parker Griffith of Alabama told Politico.com that members are "very, very sensitive" to the fact that the agenda being pushed by party leaders has "the potential to cost some of our front-line members their seats"

On health care, added New Jersey Democrat Bill Pascrell: "People who had weak knees before are going to have weaker knees now."

The GOP held power through Conservatism for quite some time. and very recently.

I had to go back to this one.

You do realize you are arguing against yourself?

Your statement in post #32:

Bush is a Liberal in my opinion, and so is McCain, and thats exactly why McCain lost.

First you are wrong, it isn't far right radicalism at all. Overall the GOP is left of where it was 20 years ago and has plenty of room to move further right. Second, what do you think will play better even if you were correct, the far left radicalism that is obviously the platform of the dems or the "far right" GOP? If you think it's the former you're delusional. Obama had to try and hide it to get elected and throw his radical associates utb. He can't fool the indies again.

I suppose that it's easy for the conservatives to retake control given their obvious double standard. For Obama, it is expected that he fix everything that the past administration screwed up over eight years in nine months. For the republicans recently elected, there are no expectations. It is enough that they are republicans. Nice world view there, I suppose.

No, she didn't.

But she used a similar phrase to imply that she had foreign policy experience based on Alaska neighboring Russia.

Equally as stupid.

Well, her moves in New York disregarding the right of voters to run whom they choose certainly suggest the Palin may have learned from Stalin.

Agree with my ideology or nothing. Palinist America.

Despite heavy campaigning and fund raising efforts by Barack Obama, Republicans are sweeping the major elections in Virginia and New Jersey tonight. Of course the Democrat spin will be something along the line of, "that didn't hurt".

But it did hurt. There is so much wrong with this administration and this party, I don't know where to start. Corrupt and racist cabinet officials and czars, broken promises about openness in government, missteps handling the economy, government takeovers of private business and a wrecking of the dollar... where is the work towards the balanced budget. Where is there evidence of movement towards any of the lofty promises that were made? Especially that his administration was going to be post racial and bipartisan? What a sad, sick joke that turned out to be. Endless promises, empty words.

Blue Dogs are going to be looking over their shoulders and Obama is looking very weak.

Fired up?

Sorry Chief, not tonight...
