Queen Pelosi’s Definition Of Bipartisan
Jan 6, 2009 Political
Nancy Pelosi has a strange definition of bipartisan. To most thinking people, it relates to TWO parties and when used in this context means they will work together. Nancy Pelosi and her brood of Democrats all claimed that the Republicans ignored them and they claimed that George Bush had not worked with them on anything. This despite the fact that Bush tried to reach out to them only to be slapped down. After crying about how partisan the Republicans are, Pelosi said:
“Elect us, hold us accountable, and make a judgment and then go from there. But I do tell you that if the Democrats win, and have substantial majorities, Congress of the United States will be more bipartisan.” ABC
First of all, it is hard to hold them accountable because as soon as they screw up or get blamed for something they point at President Bush. He gets blamed for everything. Pelosi said the Democrats had nothing to do with the economic problems when they were largely responsible. Obama said Bush was to blame for everything when he campaigned (now his moonbat followers are accusing him of being like Bush) and Harry Reid said Bush was the worst president ever even though his approval rating is better than Congresses’. No, you can’t pin blame on them because they always have an excuse.
Then there was that part about being more bipartisan. As I pointed out, bipartisan means that each party has some say in the matters and that all opinions will be taken into consideration. It means that the majority is looking to partner with the minority to help solve problems. Like when Republicans wrote new rules after they took control in 1994. They included the minority party in the deliberations. They refused to exercise the nuclear option so that Democrats could still have a say. I warned at that time that if the Democrats ever took control they would not be so generous.
And of course, I was right.
Queen Nancy Pelosi of “more bipartisan” fame will introduce new rules for the House that exclude Republicans from the process.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to re-write House rules today to ensure that the Republican minority is unable to have any influence on legislation. Pelosi’s proposals are so draconian, and will so polarize the Capitol, that any thought President-elect Obama has of bipartisan cooperation will be rendered impossible before he even takes office.
Pelosi’s rule changes — which may be voted on today — will reverse the fairness rules that were written around Newt Gingrich’s “Contract with America.” Human Events
She will rewrite rules to keep Republicans from having any influence. I want someone to tell me how this is bipartisan. I want this 68 year old washed up Botox queen to tell me how this is working together. Maybe she has her granny panties in a wad because she will not be the top Democrat in DC. Make room for Daddy O.
This is nothing more than her attempt to ensure that Obama gets everything that he wants and that he will face little opposition. It is designed to make Americans think that the sainted one’s stuff is passing though easily because he is wonderful and everyone agrees. She did this to keep Republicans from screwing Obama the way the Democrats have screwed George Bush for the last eight years. She also did this so that Republicans would not be able to oppose the huge stimulus package that will surely include billions of dollars in pork. She does not want Republicans blocking the increased spending that the Democrats want. Trillions of dollars are at stake and Nancy can’t let it slip away.
If she thinks this will lead to more bipartisan cooperation then she is smoking some of those left handed cigarettes her state is famous for. This will tick off the Republicans who will find ways to cause gridlock.
If we can get the Senate Republicans to stick together then we can keep everything from passing. We can hold up cabinet appointments as well as judicial nominations. Our Senate should hold EVERYTHING up until the House agrees to rules that are fair to Republicans. The Senate Republicans need to work together in order to force the House to play nice or nothing gets done.
I am all in favor of gridlock. Let’s keep Obama’s plans from going through and let’s make sure nothing is rubber stamped. Let’s make sure McCain and the other RINOs keep their heads in the game and keep the Democrats from running roughshod over the country.
Keep an eye on them because any Republican than helps the Democrats out should be targeted in the next election. Even if it means we have a smaller presence we need to get rid of non conservatives.
The Democrats need to have as much control right now, without giving them total power, so that they have to make all the decisions. Then EVERYTHING is their fault (or their success). They can only get so much mileage out of blaming Bush before it gets old. They said they needed a bigger majority and they got it. Nancy said give them that and hold them accountable and that is what we should do.
We need to hold their pork laden little feet to the fire until we can boot them out of office.
Bipartisan? I am not surprised. This is a woman who thinks that murdering children in the womb is a choice.
To hell with her and the Democrats. And I mean that in the most bipartisan way possible.

Not Ready To Make Nice
Nov 8, 2008 Political
For the past eight years the liberal part of this country has been unhinged. They have said the most vile things about President Bush and Republicans and they have worked against everything that he and his administration has tried to do. They have been so vile in their behavior that the phrase “Bush Derangement Syndrome” has been coined to describe their behavior. They were never inclined to work together to make this country better and, in fact, they worked to tear the country apart.
Now that they have won the White House they are telling us to come together for the good of the country. There is a website where the 52% who won and the 48% who lost exchange messages of bipartisan support. They tell us it is time to work together and that there are no hard feelings. People hold up signs telling us that we can make it if we are only good enough to come together in bipartisan fashion.
Screw That!
The 52% are the same people who, only four years ago, held up signs with maps of the US indicating the red parts were “Jesusland” and maps with “bomb here” as instructions for terrorists. They had signs discussing moving to Canada (very few did) and signs calling people who voted for George Bush some of the nastiest names. None of them held signs that said we needed to come together and work in a bipartisan fashion to make this country better. Eight years ago was the time for that to happen and their failure to accept the results and move on will come back to haunt them now.
The Dixie Chicks mouthed off about George Bush and their sales lagged. They were even more indignant and put the blame on the public who, they claim, were denying them their right to free speech. No, we just exercised our right not to support people with whom we disagree. Instead of an apology they came out with a new song entitled “Not Ready To Make Nice.” The first part goes like this:
Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I’m still waiting
Those words describe exactly how I feel about the way the left has acted over the past eight years and I am not ready to make nice with any of them. Barack Obama is the duly elected president of the United States but that does not mean that we now all have to drink his Socialist kool aid and fall in line. We will be there to critique his every move and to heavily criticize those that are not what we like. It is time for payback and payback it will be. Revenge is a dish best served cold and the dishes that will be served are at sub zero temperatures.
The left is only willing to work together so long as people are working toward their defined agenda. Anything that is contrary to their desires will be opposed. Look at how they treated John McCain. He has reached across the aisle quite often and the only reward he gets is a hand slap. McCain was a media darling because he was willing to work with the other side. The NYT endorsed him in the primary because if their guy lost, they would be comfortable with a guy who likes to play nice with the other side. However, as soon as the general hit the NYT changed its tone and brutalized McCain. Those of us who supported McCain were called racists every time we spoke or wrote and the Obama campaign was petty and small in how it treated rivals. The media was in the tank for Obama and they were unfair and extremely unkind to Sarah Palin.
This is what you get when you work with them or if your beliefs are different from theirs. No good deed goes unpunished and that is particularly true with the liberals in this country. The morons over at the Daily Kos have been absolutely brutal to George Bush and now the left expects us to ignore this and work together.
Perhaps the reason they want support is because they sold their souls to the devil in exchange for an inexperienced man who believes in Socialism and they know he will need help along the way in order for his plans to succeed. Not going to happen. As Ann Coulter wrote in her last column:
For now, we have a new president-elect. In the spirit of reaching across the aisle, we owe it to the Democrats to show their president the exact same kind of respect and loyalty that they have shown our recent Republican president.
Bingo! Or as the Dixie Chicks put it:
I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should
You people made your beds now you have to lie in them. As for 52%, you can fold those signs up and stick them up your collective…
Quoting from a Dixie Chick song is about as bipartisan as I intend to be.
