Is this financial crisis a national emergency or not? You would never know it by the behavior of Nancy Pelosi today. Seems like just another peice of legislation to be used for typical Washington bickering. How can anyone defend this partisan hack BS during Pelosi’s speech on the floor today?
Nancy Pelosi put partisan politics ahead of the national interest today. On top of that, she is a weak and feeble leader of the majority party.
Pelosi has 235 members. She needed 218. She could spare 17 members and still pass the bill.
The GOP spotted her 65 members, for a bill that made most Republicans’ skin crawl in both broad outline and in terms of detail.
That meant Pelosi could afford to lose 82 Democrats.
She lost 95.
