What a transparently dim bulb
I'll admit that most of what I've heard Nancy Pelosi 'say' has been written down. Whether written or said, that has typically only been one or two sentence sound bytes.NPR had an interview with her yesterday.
Good Lord, what a moron. Ladies, I would think you would be leading the charge to NOT have this woman represent what it is to be a successful woman.
Of course, looking at her bio, it shouldn't be surprising. Daughter of a congressman and mayor, she's worked exclusively in politics her entire life. It's nice to have connections. Looking at the job she's done so far as speaker is also a dead giveaway. Don't vacation in Turkey any time soon.
Back to the interview. I haven't heard fear-mongering propaganda of that caliber in some time. Names like Stalin and Goebbels come to mind.
She thinks the reason her congress has the lowest approval ratings ever is because of the war, which is all Bush's fault anyway.
The best part was her discussion of the SCHIP. Keep in mind a few things.
Congress wanted to expand SCHIP to $60 Billion over the next five years.
The new expansion would include families of four making up to $72, 500 per year. That's pretty damn good money for someone who needs welfare. Hell, New York wants to increase the eligibility to $82,000 per year.
So what is this dope's response to Bush vetoing that abomination?
You either share the value that 10 million children in our country who are eligible should have access to health insurance — and that's a value; it's not even an issue in our country; it's a value; it's an ethic. We're 10 votes short, 10 Republicans short of 10 million American children getting health insurance. ...we will not compromise and negotiate away one of those children. ...we will not say to a million children or 5 million children, as the president wants us to do, that you're not going to get health insurance, even though you're entitled to it.
Apparently it doesn't occur to her how many of these poor children would be taken off of private health insurance and put on the government dole, simply because it's cheaper.
In 1996, over 60% of eligible children {under the much lower guidelines} already had private health insurance. In 2005, the number was 55%.
But Nancy's fear mongering doesn't stop there! When the subject of product inspection is raised, she immediately goes to the "children well".
...products that are being sold to our children, the toys our children have,
...here we are on Halloween. Our children are in costumes. They're carrying around plastic pumpkins, many of them laden with lead beyond a safe level. We're getting ready for Thanksgiving dinner, where much of the food may be imported and uninspected. We're buying toys for our children — and in my case, grandchildren — for Christmas, which can be a danger to their health.
More government, more control, more power. And always remember, it's for the children.
