let's send some flowers to Pelosi

[cap]

with a big fat thank you from the uninsured and underinsured who will continue to suffer.

People are in physical pain, dying and deep in debt. Thank you for your efforts on our behalf. /sarcasm

Edit: Oh yeah, and thanks for weakening abortion protections.

[jgraz]

1. Sending her flowers would break my campaign promise

I promised last year to detest her until the end of time. Wouldn't want to be a hypocrite!

[NYC_SKP]

2. *Sigh* The House is fighting for every vote they can get, Weiner, Kucinich, Conyers, have all...

decided to defer, for now, the single bill under consideration.

Why do people think otherwise?

:shrug:

[emulatorloo]

3. Because Pelosi is fun to demonize. Just ask the RNC fundraising letter writers and the teabaggers.

[Joe Fields]

6. Fuck all of that. She deserves to be demonized. The "lady" is a LIAR!!!

And a habitual one, at that.

[emulatorloo]

11. Yeah, that's what "Leader Boehner" et al said about her not to long ago.

[Joe Fields]

15. even a broken clock is right, once in awhile.

If you are tying me to Boehner, good luck with that one! lol

[emulatorloo]

32. LOL - Boehner is never right. Not tying you to him, just pointing out your similar rhetoric

[Motown_Johnny]

7. easy to demonize the woman who refused to impeach Shrub no matter how much evidence was presented to

her.

[NYC_SKP]

10. Yep: "Pelosi--Reed--ACORN"... I expect it from the RNC, et al. Sad to see it here.

[emulatorloo]

12. DU is not making much sense to me today, probably time for a break. n/t

[Egnever]

5. Sadly I dont think half the people on this board understand what it takes to pass legislation.

[Joe Fields]

8. Sadly, Pelosi doesn't understand....

[Egnever]

16. Care to bet on if this passes or not?

[Joe Fields]

18. And your point is?

Tip O'Neill could have done this with a slim majority.

[Egnever]

19. that your trow away line was utter BS?

As its going to pass. So she must have an idea of what it takes.

[Joe Fields]

21. It is passing, in spite of her...

The "Speaker" speaks out of both sides of her mouth. Shall I run the litany for you, or are you new to this process? She is no friend of ours, and is one of the most ineffective Speakers that I've witnessed in my relatively long life.


Besides, nowhere did I write that the legislation WOULDN'T pass. Does that make her an effective speaker? Hardly.

[Egnever]

23. LOL OK Champ

[saracat]

17. The Bill they are fighting for is garbage, and we won't get another crack at the bat to

improve it. I have no sympathy for them trying to get the votes for this.They could have had a solid bill but they caved to the Rahm influence and the WH.

[NYC_SKP]

24. True only to the extent that S.P or other had the support. I believe they did not.

Which leaves the argument many would like to have over whether the president could have MADE these pass.

And I don't think he could.

Also, passage of this does not prevent further action, that's a bit of misunderstanding, I think.

:donut:

[saracat]

27. Never said that passage of this would prevent further action. The fact that

no further action will be taken is because both the PTB DON'T WANT any action taken and the high likelihood that we won't have any kind of majority later.The facts are most politicians don't want real health care reform because they are indebted to the insurance companies and Big Pharma,

[bread_and_roses]

4. send her stinkweed. (n/t)

[Individualist]

9. or thorns

[AndyA]

13. Send Pelosi and Reid some MOVING BOXES.

Tell them they will be needing them if they don't get their shit together. And SOON!

[havocmom]

30. Best idea in a long time

[derby378]

31. I think you're on to something BIG

:hi:

[tabatha]

14. Did you hear Grayson on Schultz?

If not, it's worth a listen.

[NYC_SKP]

25. I did. He said "Pass this bill" and that good can be made better, and better can be made best.

Thanks for reminding us!

:toast:

[saracat]

28. I don't believe any political promises on this. If they can't pass a decent bill NOW

with control over both houses and the WH, it ain't happening later. Just words.

[Stinky The Clown]

20. Why single her out?

She's not the only one who lacks leadership in this matter. So do Reid and Obama.

There ARE no strong leaders. NO one seems to want this except for a few "crazies" (<---- extreme sarcasm) in the House.

[republicansarewhores]

22. We have the power to get their attention by shaming them.

26. Your sig pic is pretty amazing.

:hi:

Is there a larger version of it?

[Vinca]

29. 122 flowers a day for 122 dead every day.
