Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic leadership in general are showing their true face. When the recent crisis started in the financial markets and Congress was called upon to agree to a $700 billion deal to help financial institutions in trouble and prevent the economy from collapsing, Pelosi at all acted as if a deal would have been possible nearly immediately if only those pesky Republican Congressmen would have agreed to some kind of deal ‘in the interest’ of the nation.
When John McCain went to Washington D.C. to help out, to help Republican Congressmen get involved, Democrats pretended that he destroyed any chances of a deal - which was close they said - even thoughthey were not closing in on any deal before McCain came. In less diplomatic language: Democrats were lying through their teeth.
Today Pelosi showed her true colors even more by calling Republican congressman “unpatriotic.” Their crime: not attenting a meeting about the bailout plan.
The problem? They were not invited to the meeting. The Democrats simply made it impossible for House Republicans to participate in negotiations. One would have expected Pelosi and her fellow Democrats to reach out to Republicans so as to work out a deal ASAP, ‘for the sake of the nation’ and all that. Instead, House Republicans could not even participate in the meeting - I guess this destroys the criticism that House Republicans actively opposed the plan and that it was their fault that a deal wasn’t agreed upon earlier.
Will voters see through the Democratic lies, spin and distortions? Probably not, after all, the NYT, WaPo, Newsweek, ABC, MSNBC and others are doing everything in their power to help Barack Obama get elected.
Nonetheless, for those willing to do a bit of research it should be rather obvious that Democrats used this crisis for political gain, and that leading Democrats lied through their teeth about what was happening and why.
2:20 the GOP is unpatriotic ... Thus we see partisian politics at it's finest.
YouTube - We Are Under Martial Law! As Declared By Speaker Pelosi!!!
Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX) reports from the floor of the House that the Republicans have been cut out of the process and called unpatriotic for not blindly supporting the fraudulent bailout. He says the only debate has been about what talking points to use on the American people. The most ominous revelation is when he claims the Speaker has declared martial law.
it's all politics to them...nothing else. Americans in general cannot stand the women (not approval ratings), so she is preaching to her hard left choir.

She is being widely blaming for pissing off just enough GOP congressmen with her poisionous rhetoric to vote against the bailout, causing it to fail.
What a true leader She just couldn't put aside partisanship long enought to try and bring folks together. What a stupid thing to do JUST before the vote.

True, all she had to do was to shut that chasm of a partisan mouth she has for about 48 hours and then she could resume the B.S. bashing. Even that proved to be too much I guess. Wow.

40% of Dems voted no, and it's the Republicans fault?

Ya know, I had a great day right up until about 4:15 this afternoon. Went to the Mountains for the weekend, didn't watch one minute of TV, went Hiking and Shooting. It was awesome.
Then, I come home and make the mistake of turning on the fricking TV only to watch Politicains playing partisan volleyball with every last citizen's future.
I'm beyond caring who is more partisan, which side. All I want is for these azzholes to either get together on a plan or announce that there will not be a plan at all. Either way is fine, I'll deal.
They're playing political "chicken" with every one of our lives and running their mouths while Rome burns around them. Atlas is truly shrugging as we speak.
