Pelosi: Keeping a Democratic House in November...

is too important to the country"

That's right folks. This is something I've been mentioning the past 2-3 weeks. Now pelosi pipes up on the very same subject. She's saying right here....

Keeping a Democratic majority in the House is "too important to the country," Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Wednesday.

Pelosi, the leader of Democrats in the House, said she had no intention of ceding control of the House in this fall's elections, despite Republican optimism that they can win control of the chamber, in part due to the healthcare bill passed Sunday by lawmakers.

"I’ve said if passing this bill means I have to walk out of my office that night, it would be with the greatest pride," Pelosi told "Newshour with Jim Lehrer" in an interview to air this evening.

"But I haven’t any intention of losing the Democratic majority," the speaker added. "It’s too important to the country; it’s too important to the lives of the American people. We are there for them."

Pelosi has been a central figure in the healthcare debate, serving as the most visible House leader in the legislative battle for healthcare reform. To that end, the Republican National Committee (RNC) has raised over $1.4 million since Sunday with a fundraising appeal imploring voters to "Fire Nancy Pelosi."

The speaker said that the Democrats' ability to hold onto the House in this fall's election would in part hinge on their ability to explain what benefits they see as flowing from the health bill.

"Now we have to go out there and tell people what is in the legislation. I have confidence that my members can do that," she said. "And again, I wear two hats: by day, a speaker of the House; by evening, making sure that we have a strong Democratic majority."

To that end, the national party has begun chipping in with that effort, soliciting donations Wednesday to help bolster lawmakers in potentially difficult districts who voted in favor of the health bill.

No modesty in that phony POS is there? Hearing her talk you would think she can and will walk on water at a minutes notice because the Americn People "need her" Now that is very deep Cow Flop right there,,It will be great t see her go, Of course, with her coming from that liberal breeding ground that the US could do without is not gonna make it easy... I wonder how much she stands to make with her 1 Milliodollar investment on CISCO due to the Health Crap Fiasco passing?

Two things that this idiot has said about this bill/law: (1) We need to get this signed, we can worry about what is in it later, and (2) Now we have to go out there and tell people what is in the legislation.

So we do not know what is in the bill in order to approve it? Now we need to tell people what we approved and signed? That is an insult to everyone's intelligence. What Pelosi is saying and how she feels is that everyone is too stupid to know what she knows, or to make the level of decisions that she is capable of making. That is ridiculous and extremely arrogant.

I am not just attacking the democrats, the republicans have been doing some crazy stuff in government as well. Time to totally clean house. I do not think that any bill should be 3000+ pages, most of which nobody with signing authority bothers to read, and packed full of other unrelated bills camouflaged ~ buried inside the advertised bill. Both parties have been doing that for years, and it should stop. If they are voting on bills, they should be out in the open and disclosed to the public up front. Not advise us after it passes.

Folks, please read between the lines in this article and pay close attention to what nana is saying...something I've harped on for the last 2-3 weeks...even if they are ousted at the polls they are not merely going to walk away...for the good of the country of course...bet they pull a fast one either before, during, or after the mid-terms - maybe all three...
