DON'T. FALL. FOR. IT. (Pelosi)

[berni_mccoy]

Republicans KNOW that the base isn't happy with Pelosi. But this latest ploy to blame her for failing to pass the bailout bill is ridiculous. And they are counting on your dissatisfaction with Pelosi to divide us in order to gain back more seats this fall. It's that simple. Don't fall for it. Boehner failed to know where his members were. The bottom line is REPUBLICANS ARE PLAYING POLITICS WITH THE ECONOMIC STABILITY OF THIS NATION. It's just that plain and simple.

1. Scorched earth politics - n/t

2. Yes they are and they will stop at NOTHING>

Expect them to get much worse.

3. right

[thoughtcrime1984]

4. Exactly! nt

5. Shut up, Boner (I mean Boehner)

Repugs are disgusting. How is ANYTHING going to get done with them jumping up and down like little children?

[berni_mccoy]

7. I don't think Boehner is making the claim that it's Democrat's (or Pelosi's) fault

But the GOP House members who voted against it are. They are calling out a speech Pelosi made this morning as their reason, which is utter rubbish and not to mention whiny.

12. Boehner directly laid the blame for the whole thing at Pelosi's feet.

He is a JERK!

13. Boner specifically blamed Pelosi ... repeatedly ... on msnbc today.

I only caught bits while working, but it seems he thinks that she took their manhood (she spoke @ the *ush policies tieing into the economic mess on the floor before the vote).

[TankLV]

17. You are right...

you don't think...

and you obviously can't read or hear to good either...

Boner DID say EXACTLY THAT!

[Debi]

6. This isn't Pelosi's fault - she delivered the necessary Dem. votes

This is the GOP leadership's fault!

14. That's kind of an oxymoron, isn't it?

republican leadership? Apparently, they have none.

19. Rachel made that very clear on her show tonight.

8. Whatever their ulterior political motives, I'm glad the Repubs stopped,

or at least slowed this thing. There has to be a better way than giving more money to the extortionists in and near the White House.
Our representatives almost gave these guys another blank check.

[berni_mccoy]

10. I understand what you are saying but don't agree. This was a political move only.

They had over a week to work in issues that would resolve any sort of conflict over this bill. They didn't work on it and now they won't vote for it.

[daninthemoon]

11. Do you feel that the crisis itself is a political ploy? Banks do seem to

failing, and the energy crisis is having ripple effects that are wrapped up in this as well. I don't claim to have a complete understanding of this bill or the technicalities of the bank failures, but I don't trust that this administration does either. I don't trust them period.

[1corona4u]

15. I'm guessing that you're a progressive democrat?

they seem to be the only ones agreeing with the republicans, from what I can tell.

9. Pelosi has been a great Speaker of the House. n/t

[Runcible Spoon]

16. .............

:rofl:

[SIMPLYB1980]

18. No.

20. Why is that goofy SOB Boner always crying? It's weird. n/t
