Pelosi: Contempt Vote Payback For Holder’s Voter Protection Efforts
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that an effort by House Republicans to pass a resolution finding Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress is really about his efforts in opposition to GOP-backed voting laws that Democrats consider forms of voter suppression.
“It’s really important to note how this is connected with some of their other decisions. It is no accident. It is no coincidence that the Attorney General of the United States is the person responsible for making sure that voter suppression does not happen in our country, that issues that relate to the civil liberties of the American people are upheld,†Pelosi said.
“These very same people holding in contempt are part of a nationwide scheme to suppress a vote. They are closely aligned with those who are suffocating the system, special interests, secret money, and they are poisoning the debate. They are poisoning the debate with that money. And so what does the average citizen say? They throw up their hands and they say, a pox on both your houses, and that is a victory for the special interest,†Pelosi continued.

In case anyone was wondering who would buy the bullshit that Pelosi is shoveling, you now have your answer, the DUmmies.
It probably wasn't the wisest decision for Peolosi to bring up Holder not protecting the rights of eligible voters.

5. What media outlet do "we" own that would report on it
it if he did? He has said a lot of things that DUers demand yet the RW noise machine never carries it.
:rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:
Every time 0bama opens his lying mouth the media is right there, the only times they don't report on what he says is when he makes mistakes like 57 states.

30. The Reason For This Is Simple
President Obama "has suffered the most unrelentingly negative treatment" of all presidential candidates over the past five months
The only interest the MSM has is that we have a horserace because of all of the income that generates for the corporation. Since Obama was positioned to take a nice lead MSM had to step in and try to do something about it. If the Bloomberg poll yesterday is any indication they still have more work to do. But people seem to be paying more attention than usual for this early and already determining that Romney just isn't a good fit for President for a number of reasons.
It's like 2001 through 2009 didn't happen unless they want someone to blame for what is happening now.

18. funny thing
you can trace this back to the US Attorneys scandal in 06.. has KKKarl Roves prints all over it.. in the meantime ALEC has been carrying the banner in the states.. We should have nailed turd blossom while we had the chance.. thats what we get for letting criminals walk
So Holder's crimes are actually Rove's fault.
Every time a dem does something illegal they blame the GOP for having the nerve to call them out on it.

Rove, you magnificant bastard! :-) :yahoo: O-) :fuelfire: :tongue:

Good freaking Lord they're SO predictable. Can't wait til the election. Anyone with half a brain can see that the Dems aren't going to take back the house and will probably lose seats in the senate, as well as the White House. What the hell else would Pelosi say? She certainly can't defend Holder's actions so she's got to find something else to blame. And DUmmies just buy it hook, line and sinker without even questioning it. Interesting since there were actually threads that commented on how Holder should resign and his actions were wrong. Guess now that they have that out of their system they can go out and find excuses for bad behavior. That voter nonsense is being done at the state level, states are fighting back. Since voting is a state's rights issue, they'll most likely win. Are they even stopping just because Holder says they have to? The state does have autonomy in some things, even in this federal government heavy administration. Besides, we're getting all the payback we need when 0bamacare is ruled against in the Supreme Court. Their precious unions lost today (who would've thought Sotomayor would go rogue. Next thing you know she'll be paling around with Sarah Palin. Oh, and I bet the border fight with Arizona gets defeated too. And all this right before the election! We don't need to "get back at them" for anything...everything's going our way! Suck it DUmmies!

Latest poll here in FL, 60% that's right 60% support Governor Scott's purging of illegal voters.

Evidently she voted with the majority. Read it either on Twitchy or Breitbart in the comments section.

Heard Rush talking about that yesterday. The vote was 7-2, with Ruth Buzzy Ginsberg and another justice voting the 2.
Zero is looking "better and better" every day! :lmao:

:thatsright: Well. I was wrong. So, so wrong. I thought for sure these embarrassing Pelosi remarks would be quietly ignored by the DUmp, as just too idiotic even for them. I thought they would let it slip past page one, to be hushed up as "making Democrats look bad."

But of course.
Hey DUmmies. Normal people are thinking these comments of Pelosi's warrant medical attention.

Poor San Fran Nan. Relegated to flying with the proles, and actually having to (gasp!) PAY for her bar tab.

I don't have the posts but, there have been some nasty comments about Sotomayor in the dump. About this ruling and an earlier one.

It's too early to completely make a judgment, but if "you can tell a lot about a man by who their enemies are" holds true, she might be a wiser Latina than we have given her credit for.
