Nancy Pelosi said: “. . . Democrats have a good shot at winning the House in 2012.” Yeah right! If ACORN and SOSP can steal or rig enough elections: Soros and liberal groups seeking top election posts in battleground states By Chuck Neubauer The Washington Times 9:00 p.m., Thursday, June 23, 2011 http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/jun/23/section-527-works-to-seat-liberals-as-election-ove/ Pelosi went on to brag about: “. . . her party’s prowess at fundraising and touted the diversity of the new crop of Democratic candidates — “two generals, a colonel … legislators, small-business people, mayors, many women and minorities.” I don’t about two generals and a colonel since the Democrat party traditionally hates military men and women unless they fight for the United Nations. And how long have women and minority candidates been considered a new crop in the Democrat party? I do know that every time a conservative woman, a conservative African American, or a conservative Hispanic shows up they are savaged by Democrats. I guess Pelosi means women and minorities are only diverse when they are Democrats. Pelosi continues: “Not to talk money,” Pelosi said, “but we outraised the Republicans for the first three-quarters of the year.” Apparently, Nancy did not hear that the Democrat party’s biggest source of income is in the process of drying up as states like Wisconsin are finally pulling the plug on funding Democrat candidates by sending tax dollars through teachers’ unions. Reduce tax dollars going to teachers’ unions and the amount teachers give to Democrats is also reduced significantly. Teachers love to cry poverty; so you’ll really hear them howl when they have to donate to Democrat candidates out of their pockets without being reimbursed in the next contract. Oh well, Nancy is always good for a laugh when she isn’t working to advance socialism/communism. I doubt if any Democrat will be singing to her this time next year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=hTdwFYxv_ro If I don’t see her each day I miss her Gee what a thrill each time I kiss her Believe me I’ve got a case, On Nancy with the laughing face She takes the winter and makes it summer But summer could take some lessons from her Picture a tomboy in lace That’s Nancy with the laughing face Did you ever mission bells ringing Well, she’ll give you the very same glow When she speaks you would think it was singing Just hear her say hello I swear to goodness You can’t resist her Sorry for you she has no sister No angel could replace Nancy with the laughing face Keep Betty Grable, Lamour and Turner She makes my heart a charcoal burner It’s heaven when I embrace My Nancy with the laughing face Wisconsin schools buck union to cut health costs By: Byron York | 07/07/11 7:05 PM Chief Political Correspondent Follow Him @ByronYork http://washingtonexaminer.com/politics/2011/07/wisconsin-schools-buck-union-cut-health-costs Reduce tax dollars going to teachers’ unions and the amount teachers give to Democrats is also reduced significantly.

Pelosi: House is 'in play' in 2012 By mike lillis - 11/03/11 07:17 PM ET House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday that Democrats have a good shot at winning the House in 2012. The former Speaker said her party — through smart recruitment and strong fundraising — is on pace to take back the lower chamber after just two years in the minority. “We have definitely put the House in play,” she said during her weekly press briefing in the Capitol. Pelosi bragged of her party’s prowess at fundraising and touted the diversity of the new crop of Democratic candidates — “two generals, a colonel … legislators, small-business people, mayors, many women and minorities.” “From a political standpoint, we’re very proud of the recruitment of candidates … all with the determination to take us off the path that the Republicans have put us on,” she said. “Not to talk money,” Pelosi said, “but we outraised the Republicans for the first three-quarters of the year.” Such statements can pay dividends, as Democratic donors will likely be more receptive to opening their checkbooks if they think the party has a fighting chance of winning back the lower chamber. Putting Democrats back in charge, she added, “is urgent in terms of job creation and taking us to a path of prosperity.” Republicans were quick to push back against Pelosi’s 2012 forecast, with House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) arguing that recent state redistricting measures will only benefit the GOP in the next elections. “If you look at the redistricting that’s gone on around the country … 51 of our members won districts that were won by Barack Obama,” Boehner said Thursday. “At least half of those districts will be strengthened as a result of the redistricting process around the country.” Republicans have “done a good job at home,” Boehner added, “and I feel confident that we will certainly maintain our majority.” Paul Lindsay, spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), also rebuffed Pelosi’s claims, saying in an email, “Returning to the Speaker’s chair may be a dream for Nancy Pelosi, but it is a nightmare for middle-class Americans who are still suffering from the job-killing policies she helped put in place.” Lindsay declined to speculate about the number of seats in play, but suggested the Republicans will expand their majority next year: “The only number worth guessing is the amount of House Democrats who will lose as a result of supporting the Obama-Pelosi agenda.” Yet The Cook Political Report, a well-respected campaign handicapper, indicates that many more Republicans are at risk of losing their seats next year than Democrats. Indeed, new ratings released Thursday reveal that 32 Republicans fall into categories indicating they’re threatened, versus 24 Democrats in those brackets. While this is partly a reflection of the GOP’s success in 2010, when it won a number of swing districts previously held by Democrats, it also suggests the gains Pelosi and other Democrats think they can make in 2012, especially if the party gets a strong voter turnout with President Obama at the top of the ticket. Additionally, Democrats have the fundraising advantage Pelosi mentioned, which has been a surprise given the House caucus’s place as a minority. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) reported gains of $6.6 million in September, almost double the $3.8 million hauled in by the NRCC over the same span. The DCCC has also held a strong fundraising advantage in the third quarter — posting gains of $14.2 million versus the NRCC’s $10.7 million — and for the year ($47.9 million versus $44.1 million). “This is quite remarkable,” Pelosi said. “If we hadn’t been successful in the recruitment, and we hadn’t been successful in the raising of money, you might make a statement of how on earth do you think that you can win?” Recent public opinion polls indicate that voters have a dismal view of Washington lawmakers. Just 6 percent of voters, for instance, think incumbents in Congress deserve reelection, according to a recent New York Times/CBS News poll, while just 33 percent think their own member should be returned to Washington next year. After taking control of the House in 2006, Democrats were walloped at the polls just four years later, losing 63 seats and ceding the majority back to the Republicans. Pelosi repeatedly predicted last year that Democrats would retain the House. House Republicans currently outnumber the Democrats 242 to 192, with one vacancy following the scandal-induced departure of former Rep. David Wu (D-Ore.) over the summer. President Obama has also predicted recently that the Democrats will take back the House next year. “I am biased, but I think Nancy was one of the best Speakers of the House this country ever had,” Obama said Sunday after Pelosi introduced him at the National Italian American Foundation gala. “And I believe that she will be the best Speaker of the House again in 2013.” On Friday — one year before the 2012 elections — DCCC Chairman Steve Israel (N.Y.) will meet with reporters to discuss the progress of the Democrats’ efforts to win back the lower chamber. — Russell Berman contributed to this article. — Originally posted at 12:27 p.m. and updated at 8:17 p.m. http://thehill.com/homenews/house/191621-pelosi-house-is-in-play-in-2012
I wrote off Herman Cain because of his views on the Federal Reserve. Calling Pelosi “Princess Nancy” was a blunder, not because it gave liberals a chance to label him a typical male chauvinist, but because Pelosi is no princess in any context. I might have reconsidered Cain had he called her the Wicked Witch of the West. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOe5kxQHWoo&feature=player_embedded"]Cain CallsPrincessNancy.mp4 - YouTube[/ame]
