What Pelosi said that pissed off the Repugs votes.

[dixiegrrrrl]

"Pelosi had said that Congress needed to pass the bill, even though it was an outgrowth of the "failed Bush economic policies" of the last eight years.

"When was the last time someone asked you for $700 billion?" she asked. "It is a number that is staggering, but tells us only the costs of the Bush administration's failed economic policies — policies built on budgetary recklessness, on an anything goes mentality, with no regulation, no supervision, and no discipline in the system."

Pelosi forced Republicans into the position of agreeing her assessment of President Bush if they voted for the bailout and a bunch of them said "no way". If there's a failure of the financial system now, I think you can place the blame firmly on the padded shoulders of Nancy Pelosi."

1. Nancy spoke the truth, but the GOPers decided to screw the country for a tantrum.

[ellacott]

6. A freaking tantrum

That's all it is. They need to kicked out of the congress.

[NJmaverick]

2. Sorry Nancy that was just dumb on your part

there was plenty of time for those remarks AFTER the bill was passed.

[Better Believe It]

7. Nancy! Are You Running For President Or Is Obama?

Leave the campaign rhetoric up to Obama.

[trueblue2007]

8. GET RID OF NANCY NOW.

I hope to heck when Obama wins....he gets rid of Nancy Peloci.


SHE STARTED ATTACKING THE REPUBLICANS. They can't believe she did that. She should have gloated and ragged on the Repukes after the vote.

[eFriendly]

3. Repugs need to understand that the truth sometimes hurts...

come down off of their crosses, use the wood to build a bridge, and get the FUCK over it already.

[DJ13]

4. So the way to get Republicans mad is have a woman berate them?

Its no wonder they feared Nancy Reagan.

[AndyA]

5. This is NOT Pelosi's fault. She spoke the TRUTH.

The blame for this falls SQUARELY AND SOLELY ON THE GOP.

[NJmaverick]

11. Do you tell your wife her ass looks big or your husband his penis is small?

some truths are better left unsaid

[fishwax]

24. who is to blame for a crisis like this is *not* one of those truths better left unsaid

[NJmaverick]

29. In this case, it's WHEN to say it that's important

she should have had the smarts to wait until AFTER the bill was passed

[La Lioness Priyanka]

31. umm did she marry the republicans? i assume we are still not married to them

and do not want to take responsibility for their abysmal failure

[gemlake]

12. Thank you. Pelosi spoke the truth, If the Repubs can't

handle that, so be it. It makes them look like children, to vote against a bill because their feelings are hurt.

[Better Believe It]

14. The Truth Is Both Parties Share The Blame For This Crisis

[nolabels]

27. Wow, and just think the nays turned out to be the real progressives

who figured :shrug:

[Skidmore]

9. Well, dayum, that's an ad waiting to be made.

Republicans blow the economy up.

[sinkingfeeling]

10. It would seem logical to place a failure firmly on the Bushite Republicans!!

[TechBear_Seattle]

13. "An anything goes mentality, with no regulation, no supervision, and no discipline in the system."

Madame Speaker, where was Congress in all this? You know, the body of the federal government with a CONSTITUTIONAL MANDATE to legislate regulation, provide supervision and enforce discipline?

[LiberalAndProud]

15. Could it be that is was clear that the votes weren't there by

the time she spoke? Somebody (R) just before said that it might not have the votes to pass.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

16. so we attack her when she doesnt attack the GOP, but when she does, she is still to blame?

[eyesroll]

22. I was going to post this exactly. n/t

[Roland99]

17. No, the blame goes to the criminals who devised/used unregulated derivatives, credit default swaps,

and all other financial instruments that were completely and utterly without common sense and based purely in greed.

[Better Believe It]

30. That Would Be 91 Senators Who Voted FOR Deregulation

[EC]

18. So they would rather back *'s failed policies rather than

work for the country for a change?

[western mass]

19. Maybe deep down, Pelosi still has a soul....

that feels guilt for being such a corporate tool and Republican enabler.

Maybe that tiny voice of guilt made her subconsciously sabotage this bill.

Maybe Nancy-Gollum, there may be hope for you yet no matter how the dark lord and the fires of Mordor have twisted your humanity...

[HughMoran]

20. Good for her. If we go down the drain, the Republicans can take credit

Plenty to go around, but acting childishly as our nation's economy is failing is not good policy.

[Disturbed]

21. She & the Dems have no accountability for this mess?

What did they do to avert this mess?

[HughMoran]

26. A question for a Republican to ask.

The Republicans started and promoted this madness in 1999 by removing regulation & when the derivative mess started in 2003 they were 100% in control for the next 3 years. I'm not blaming Dems, you can if you love attacking Dems when they are in a big fight. Go for it :(

[Canuckistanian]

23. Hell of a time to be attacking Bush

Not that he doesn't deserve it, but where the Hell was she during wiretapping, "the surge", offshore drilling, etc, etc.

Now that some bipartisan cooperation is needed, she goes into attack mode?

She is more than useless. She's DANGEROUS.

[bdamomma]

25. what total BS, the only person I blame

is this freaking *.

[laureloak]

28. Republicans should stop playing games & vote country first!
