(Weekly Standard) — Perhaps it’s sour grapes, or perhaps it’s a recent reawakening, but in a speech by Nancy Pelosi at Tufts University earlier this week, the former speaker of the House had some advice for her Republican colleagues in particular and some reflections on elections in general:
To my Republican friends: take back your party. So that it doesn’t matter so much who wins the election, because we have shared values about the education of our children, the growth of our economy, how we defend our country, our security and civil liberties, how we respect our seniors. Because there are so many things at risk right now — perhaps in another question I’ll go into them, if you want. But the fact is that elections shouldn’t matter as much as they do . . . But when it comes to a place where there doesn’t seem to be shared values then that can be problematic for the country, as I think you can see right now.

Hey All,
“But the fact is that elections shouldn’t matter as much as they do”
And she finished by thinking:
“Unless our side wins of course”.
Pelosi is, was and will always be a disgrace to the Country. She represents the idiots who live in San Francisco very well.

Pondering the 2010 budget that was suppose to be such a winner and turned out to be smoke and mirrors I find some of the words she used very interesting as well as telling.
Quote “it doesn’t matter so much who wins the election”
Quote “we have shared values”
After the deceitful lies that came out of boneheads mouth regarding the wonderful deal he got for us, her words take on a whole different meaning to me.
I am sick of treachery and deceit!
