GOP Political Hit on Speaker Pelosi

The Republicans orchestrated a political hit against Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, the highest ranking female in the United States of America. The Republicans coordinated an event that would publicly humiliate Speaker Pelosi. In front of the American people as the television newscasts broadcasts the failed vote in the US House for the proposed Republican Bush Administration proposed massive Bailout Bill.

The Republicans had their talking points and mouthpieces in place. Senator John McCain flopped all around the country suspending and un-suspending his campaign. Never once did he go on the record to support the Republican President's Bailout Proposal.

The Republicans played politics with the American economic system. They NEVER had the votes necessary for the Bailout Bill. Once again they just lied through their teeth and tricked Speaker Pelosi into calling for a vote of one of the most unpopular legislations ($700 billion bailout), by the most unpopular president (Bush), for the most unpopular group of people (rich, Wall Street fat-cats). The Republicans lied and cheated, they assumed ABSOLUTELY no responsibility or accountability in the making of this housing bubble and the deregulation of the derivative markets.

The Republicans pretend they are as innocent as newborn babies. The Republicans have held all three branches of government for 6 out of 8 years. The Republican fingerprints are all over the looted US treasury, yet they tarred and feathered Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.

They blame Jimmy Carter, they blame President Clinton. They think we're stupid! They think the American people don't know that total Republican Tyrannical control over ever lever of the government caused this unbridled orgy of deregulation and corporate greed.

Now the Emperor Caligula McCain is blaming Senator Obama and Speaker Pelosi for the market meltdown and financial crisis. Speaker Pelosi was hoodwinked and bamboozled by those GOP Crooks and Liars that will do any cheap trick to keep their grubby hands in the government till. Country first my ass.

Bailout Bill Defeated: Wall Street in Freefall

As of this post, the Dow is down 780 points! Wall Street is in virtual free fall from this defeated bill. Poor Speaker Pelosi. She gave a speech on the floor of the House and it hurt the Republican's wittle feelings. Check her out on this MSNBC clip. Dang! Speaker Pelosi looks tired, haggard, overworked, and under appreciated. She looks like she needs a nap and some chamomile tea to calm her nerves.

The GOP fell apart. What happened to their RNC Convention mantra "country first." Well, these country firsters decided it was more important to perserve their Republican Brand than to preserve the American Republic.

So, what did the Speaker say that offended the GOP soooo much that caused the House Republicans to act like small childeren and blame Speaker Nancy Pelosi for the failed bailout vote. The House Republicans claimed that she made a partisan speech. Let's take a look at an excerpt fo Nancy Pelosi's speech:

"[W]hen was the last time someone asked you for $700bn? 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."

"Democrats believe in the free market, which can and does create jobs, wealth, and capital, but left to its own devices it has created chaos."

"Democrats insisted that legislation responding to this crisis must protect the American people and Main Street from the meltdown on Wall Street. The American people did not decide to dangerously weaken our regulatory and oversight policies. They did not make unwise and risky financial deals. They did not jeopardise the economic security of the nation. And they must not pay the cost of this emergency recovery and stabilisation bill."

"Today we will act to avert this crisis, but informed by our experience of the past eight years with the failed economic leadership … We choose a different path. In the new year, with a new Congress and a new president, we will break free with a failed past and take America in a new direction to a better future."

Representatives Barney Franks and Rahm Emmanuel talkling to about the crisis on.

Here’s the story. There’s a terrible crisis affecting the American economy. We have come together on a bill to alleviate the crisis. And because somebody hurt their feelings, they decide to punish the country. I mean, I would not have imputed that degree of pettiness and hypersensitivity.

We also have — as the leader will tell you, who’s been working with them — don’t believe they had the votes, and I believe they’re covering up the embarrassment of not having the votes. But think about this. Somebody hurt my feelings, so I will punish the country. That’s hardly plausible. And there are 12 Republican members who were ready to stand up for the economic interest of America, but not if anybody insulted them.

I’ll make an offer. Give me those 12 people’s names and I will go talk uncharacteristically nicely to them and tell them what wonderful people they are and maybe they’ll now think about the country.
