Happy Birthday, Tea Party! Proof positive that the message is having an impact…Nancy Pelosi is losing her marbles.
Considering the bitter and hateful comments made by the Speaker and her cronies over the past year, the video below is priceless. It made me think about how a conversation between Pelosi and the Tea Party might go in her own mind and how she could possibly arrive at her conclusion.
The Speaker continues to show that she has no clue when it comes to the motivations of the Tea Party. Today on This Week,she again mischaracterized the movement, this time she has so perverted things that she claims to support the same ideals as the Tea Party.
In her comments Ms. Pelosi said that she supports the same agenda of removing special interests from Washington. What she fails to understand is that the Party views her as her own special interest. What special interest was it again that required a new private 757 to fly the speaker around the country? Oh yeah that was Nancy Pelosi. What special interest required outrageous in-flight travel expenses, um…Nancy Pelosi. In fact, the biggest special interest in Washington is Washington, and Nancy Pelosi is their Queen.
So how did this melding of ideals happen in the Speaker’s head? I like to think her imagined conversation went like this.
Nancy Pelosi, to the Tea Party:Dear racist, astroturf, Republican dupes. Sorry about my lies, mischaracterizations and character assassinations. I still think you are an insignificant group of undereducated rabble that was bought and paid for by the insurance industry, but I have heard your message. By the way, you are also stupid. However, I know we can’t elect a single Democrat without you so…allow me to lie to… er, join you. Please pass the tea. I am on board; now let’s go spend some taxpayer money, as that is what America wants.
Tea Party: No, that is not what we want. Please cut spending, cut taxes,and allow us to rebuild the American economy. And, for God’s sake, stop the entitlements!
Nancy Pelosi:Did you say God? Wow, that makes me feel important! But, as you know, God is in the White House and I am in Congress. Oh, that reminds me, not only are you racist astroturfers, but I have heard that some of you respect and even believe in God. We just can’t have that. So, how about special interests? I love ‘em, but if you don’t, I will remove them from Washington. Now will you vote for some of my progressive friends so we can continue to hammer this economy into oblivion?
Tea Party: You are a special interest. Yes, please remove yourself from Washington.
Nancy Pelosi:Great, common ground, I am going to go on TV and tell everyone that I agree with the Tea Party. By the way you are astroturf.
Ok so it is a little silly, but how else could the Speaker have arrived at the comments she made today? She completely ignored out-of-control spending, higher taxes, and an overwhelming desire for a redo on healthcare, which are major principals of the Tea Party. Instead, she claimed to be on board with the movement, while in the same breath again calling the Tea Party “astroturf.” I believe that the Speaker is losing her own party as well as a few more marbles.
If she is serious about fighting special interests, she should step down. Anything else is just more crazy.
Just incase that is not enough, here is a little more Crazy. Pelosi: A Bill Can Be Bipartisan Without GOP Votes
