Pelosi Clueless on MA Race

Nancy Pelosi is clueless. She insisted that - whatever the outcome – “the results today will in no way represent a repudiation of the Obama administration, especially on the matter of health care reform,” quotes the San Francisco Chronicle. 

News Flash, Nancy. That was the message and it couldn't have been louder or clearer. The bill stinks. Everyone knows it. The gig is up.

It was also a repudiation of Nancy's reign as Speaker: the rank partisanship, the monstrous bills that are voted on unread, the back-room deals. Keeping those deals a secret while claiming unprecedented transparency. Extravagant junkets while the unemployment rate keeps rising. But it isn't just Nancy's outrages that have caused a backlash against Democrats. It's that she leads a Congress that is totally out of control - yet is intent to on controlling every aspect of its citizens lives. Health Care was just the beginning.

Another priceless Nancyism; Pelosi said Democrats will continue to pound "Main Street" issues, while Republicans will continue to represent the insurance companies, the wealthy and Wall Street.Let's see. On Health Care Reform legislation the Republicans have been totally shut out; it's the Dems who have cut deals with the insurance companies, who are exempting unions from health care taxes, who have (unbelievably) kept torte reform out of the bill (in order to cater to the wealthy trial lawyers who OWN the Democrat Party.)

Nancy labors under the illusion that citizens can't fight back. After all, she's held her seat for over 20 years with little or no opposition. (Very "Kennedy-esque.") She has little or no contact with her constituents. Two exceptions: major donors and those to whom she gives your money with great fanfare.

Massachusetts should be Nancy ‘s wake up call. But she labors under the illusion that citizens can't fight back – or, more accurately, TAKE BACK - their country. She seems oblivious to the mood of the country. Witness her "Astroturf" comments. The message has been delivered.

Elected officials have been warned: listen to constituents and stop your plans for a government takeover of the county or find yourselves in the unemployment line.
