Nancy or…as you just referred to her, “Baghdad Bob”..I loved that, laughed out loud on that one..
Anywho, she made the statement that a Democrat has not held this seat since 1857…this woman is a serious “serialliar”…big time…A Congressman by the name of Michael R. McNulty (D) held this seat from 1989 to 1993…he replaced Congressman Statton who resigned because of sickenss. McNulty did (2) additional terms representing R23 before redistricting. I am so sick of this woman’s lies..I think we need to put a “Fast Checker” on the Speaker of the House..lol.

these people followed McNulty
Michael R. McNulty Democratic 1989 – 1993
Sherwood Boehlert Republican 1993 – 2003
John M. McHugh Republican 2003 – 2009

I feel no compunction to defend Pelosi because of gender, and she has proven to be a major disappointment as Speaker.
Appearances are deceiving, she is reportedly a cursing viper when riled.
Now, she plans to grand-stand this health care destruction bill on Saturday. How Hollywood!
I watched part of the U.S.S. New York presentation on Fox this morning. What a contrast to see patriotic professionals interviewed, as opposed to the lame-brains who are in control of this country!

I had to ask myself if dear Nan was lying or just woefully ignorant when she made the statement that Repubs had held that seat “since the Civil War”. That war ended almost 150 years ago.

Oh wait. Maybe she just doesn’t remember things from her childhood.

I lived in the 23rd District of NY for many years. I will bet anyone that if the moderate Republican had remained in the race, there still would be a Republican in that seat. The area is filled with what we used to call “Rockefeller Republicans”–now known as “moderate Republicans.” What I think this election demonstrated is that Americans don’t want to support either extreme in either party. The far Right and the far Left will not get support. (BO was a celebrity pick…not a political one.) That’s why so many of us have left one party or the other and call ourselves Independents. We want the children and their childishness to go fight in a corner while we adults met in the center to work out our differences….

Iphillips, you better believe if B0 & Co tapped the NY 23 repub congressman to be Sec of the Army, they took over his replacement – part of the deal. The repub replacement candidate has been a repub a short time so they first tried to camouflage a dem as a repub when Palin, Palenty and others would not have it. But the problem was/is it is almost impossible for an independent to win an election without the benefit of straight-party voters, traditionally a predictable percentage. The dems got that right in NY 23, but the spin of ‘we won a seat that has not had a dem since the Civil War’ is truly laughable. The fakeness of this admin is reprehensible.

After NJ & VA, she thinks there’s 60 votes in the Senate for a public option? Is she nuts?

I think Obama’s cool indifference is just an act diguising seething, petulant rage. Narcissists crave attention, yet the more attention they get, the harder they have to work to maintain the false image they’ve created of themselves, until the job of constantly managing a false public image becomes too great, then the whole fragile structure collapses. When, not if, this happens to the POTUS, better run for the high ground.

One interesting difference. Aaron was not indifferent.

If you liked that, here’s Obama in one of his more candid moments. (Perhaps in Joe the Plumbers driveway)

Confession is good for the soul, so they say!

(the picture quality here isn’t great, but the movie was breathtaking, and Aaron’s confession gives me chills to the bone everytime I watch it. And it ALWAYS is a reminder to me of what I know to be Obama’s wicked potential)

Elaine, Nazi Pee doesn’t need acting lessons, look at the link I’ve posted upthread. She makes Gloria Swanson look like a novice, that is of course if she’s attempting to portray a lunatic.

I agree, elaine. But Owens’ stance is a far cry from the progressive slant. That’s why it’s no real victory for the progs, despute what they say.

And if they push the public option through, it doesn’t matter what the bill says–the 14th Amendment under the Equal Protection Clause will shoehorn illegal immigrants in. There’s precedent for it, and Nancy and her crew knows it. I’m sure Obama knows it, too. But, I suspect, most Americans do not.

We’re being lied to with absolute impunity. We need reform in healthcare to bring down the escalating costs and extend decent coverage to our citizens. The cost is crippling businesses and people are suffering when denied coverage.

But I have no faith in this Congress. They will try to jam something, anything through just to get a bill passed. But it won’t be for the benefit of the American public. Ultimately, it will be a face-saving effort for the Party and Barack Obama.

Infuriating!

Just because there’s a mandate against exclusion for pre-existing conditions doesn’t mean quotes won’t come in for premium payments of thousands of dollars a month just like they do now. The more money the gov throws at a problem the more the problem costs. Who knows what’s in that bill? They’re taking 450 to 500 BILLION dollars out of Medicare & adding 30 million new enrollees, probably 50 million more since they’re lying about not covering illegals. One 14th amendment lawsuit & they’re in for free. Peggy Sue is correct about Nancy needing a new acting coach, her gestures never seem to line up with her words & the affectation is getting more exaggerated by the day

For someone who is “not big on showing weakness,” she shows a lot of it … between the ears.

Nancy needs a new acting coach. Her enthusiasm is painful to watch.

Btw, I picked up an interesting tidbit on Bill Owens, the candidate that kept the Dems from being completely trounced last night. I’d heard that Owens was a “moderate” Dem. Turns out he wasn’t a Dem at all before August of this year. He was a moderate to conservative Indie before this election.

Here’s a few quotes:

“My beliefs and principles are essentially Democratic beliefs and principles, and what label you want to slide on me I don’t think is necessarily appropriate.”

Well, gee. That sounds like me and I’ve been told a thousand times I’m not a “real” Dem.

And on health care:

Owens took a decidedly moderate line on health care restructuring, saying he does not support a public option available to anyone–the crux of the restructuring put forward by President Obama.

and,

“The bill that I would vote for would have a couple of elements to it. It would cover the uninsured, it would eliminate the ability to exclude for a pre-existing condition, and also that focuses on cost-reduction.”

Hey, I could vote “yes” on that, too.

So, let the progs keep telling themselves what a fantastic “win” this was.

They voted in a fiscal conservative.

Like me!!

Hahahaha.
