Thread: Pelosi...the gift that keeps on giving

"They're going after Eric Holder because he is supporting measures to overturn these voter suppression initiatives in the states. This is no accident. It is no coincidence. It is a plan on the part of Republicans," Pelosi said.

This woman is a glistening testament to the abject stupidity of San Francisco lefties who keep sending the idiot back to DC....not to mention congressional Democrats who anointed her House Speaker.

F&F has been an ongoing investigation for over 18 months.....now that it's really picking up steam, she must nurture yet another absurd narrative to deflect from ObamaCo's deep complicity in the "botched" (lulz) operation...

and of course that includes laying all blame on Republicans and some 'right wing conspiracy'

May she live forever and never shut her hole.

The vast right wing conspiracy. Leftists are just plain stupid. It defies belief.

Pelosi has always been an idiot, but it does appear as though having the gavel ripped out of her hands by the very people she has spent a career vilifying was too much for the old witch. I think her mind is starting to decay.

Yes, I saw this earlier and even democrats are backing away from this moon bat. I think the surgeons pulled the stitches much too tight on Pelosi's face, it really has affected any reasonable thinking, not that she ever had any.

Pelosi doing what she does best ... slap congressional conservatives upside their heads with truth & fact ... proof is the right-wing outrage right here ...

Nancy Pelosi Says Contempt Vote Against Eric Holder Is Really About Voter Suppression

By Jennifer Bendery | HuffPost | 06/21/2012 6:15 pm
Excerpts:

WASHINGTON – “House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) made a bold accusation on Thursday about what is driving Republicans to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress: a desire to suppress Democratic voters in November.

"It is no accident, it is no coincidence that the attorney general of the United States is the person responsible for making sure that voter suppression does not happen in our country," Pelosi said at her weekly briefing. "These very same people who are holding him in contempt are part of a nationwide scheme to suppress the vote. They're closely allied with those who are suffocating the system: unlimited special interest secret money."

The Democratic leader said it is "really important" to note the connection between the GOP push for a contempt vote and voter suppression efforts, particularly since, she said, the whole point is to distract from the fact that congressional Republicans aren't focused on substantive issues.

She noted that the House is lining up a vote next week to hold the attorney general in contempt at a time when there are only nine days left to pass a bill to keep transportation projects funded and a bill to prevent student loan interest rates from doubling.

"Instead, let us tie the hands of the person who is assigned to make sure that the American people have the right to vote ... and that their vote is counted," Pelosi said. "It's all tied together."

"Don't forget, they're going after Eric Holder because he is supporting measures to overturn voter suppression initiatives in the states. This is no accident, it is no coincidence. It is a plan on the part of the Republicans."

Pelosi's office later provided materials to back up her charge. It cited cases in 2007 where Bush administration officials fired U.S. attorneys for not pursuing "bogus" voting fraud cases in which the administration wanted action.

These cases are "directly related to current Republican efforts to impede AG Holder from pursuing efforts to prohibit Republican efforts to subvert voting rights," says the material from Pelosi's office. "This shows an ongoing effort by Republicans to deprive people of the right to vote dating back at least to 2007."

As for tying the voter suppression charge to big GOP donors, Pelosi's office said that conservative funders have been giving large, undisclosed funds to the conservative American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) to promote voter suppression laws across the country.

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) was asked to respond to the voter suppression charge at his weekly briefing, but he declined.

Frederick Hill, a spokesman for Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), chairman of the committee that voted to hold Holder in contempt, chided Pelosi for suggesting that the Holder investigation isn't legitimate.

"This investigation began a year and a half ago after a U.S. Border Patrol Agent was murdered and guns from Operation Fast and Furious were found at the crime scene," Hill told The Huffington Post. "For Minority Leader Pelosi to dismiss this tragedy and say the investigation is really about voter suppression is offensive and wrong.”

A spokesman for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) declined to comment.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said he didn't know about Pelosi's remarks and wouldn't say if he agreed with her voter suppression charge. But he said that politics are clearly driving the GOP push for a contempt vote.

“I cannot divine the motions behind what I think I've clearly suggested is something we believe has become a fishing expedition," Carney said during his daily briefing. "What we do believe is that Republican leaders have and Republican members of Congress have, through the actions that they've taken with regard to this matter, lived up to their announcement at the beginning of the year that one of their chief legislative and strategic priorities would be to investigate the administration and damage the president politically."

"If you don't believe me, I refer you to them," Carney added. "They said it."

It is difficult to imagine the rancid poltical climate that would promote the holding of AG Eric Holder in contempt after a full year and a half of his supplying the Issa group with thousands of papers, documents, and everything that was not being worked on currently and/or classified...and not finding anything to hang on Holder.

With all that fishing in trying to find something, anything, to lay on Holder for his part in halting many of the voter registration purges that are going on in many states prior to the November elections, Issa apparently cannot stand to find nothing, so he is holding Eric Holder in contempt until they apparently are forced to produce “something” before he will let the Attorney General go. When do the Storm Troopers arrive? Will the republicans resort to secret torture?

We understand that Issa usually caves at the last moment, but this theatrical, Nazi embodiment of a Congressional committee, that has spent a year and a half of taxpayers’ funds and finding nothing, should have the manners to back off and allow everybody to get back to work instead of plotting a year long investigation with a special prosecutor costing the taxpayers billions of dollars..and again nothing to show for it.

btw: Courts have ordered various states to refrain from purging some voters with insufficient information from the rolls, without giving them enough time to return it to them within a specified time limit. In Florida, there were over 280,000 voters taken from the rolls in this way.

Nancy Pelosi Says Contempt Vote Against Eric Holder Is Really About Voter Suppression

As if we need more proof she was a clueless tool.

Yes, because requiring proof of someone's identity while voting is "voter suppression" to the left. They can't have their beloved illegal aliens not voting for Obama, now can they?
