    The one (and only one) good thing about Pelosi is that she is so inane, that she is the very poster child for what I call the "Berkely Syndrome." Which is a syndrome in which unsubstantiated facts, desire for fantasy to be truth, and an attitude close to solipsism are expressed as a political philosophy. Unfortunately, the Shrink Profession has yet to recognize it and so, there seems to be no cure on the horizon. In order to not be affected by this syndrome, memorize Michael Savage's statement: "Liberalism is a mental disorder."

      "Liberalism is a serious mental disorder". It became "serious" in my book due to so many seeming to adhere to its principles(if it had any).

        I think that one of the problems is that the Libs have enormous guilt, which they assuage by backing ideas that make them "feel good" without considering the consequences. Add to that various other agendas and you have the Progressive mind set. Anything else such as Capitalism is rejected as "dog-eat-dog."

    The wicked witch of the west has never ceased to amaze me. She belongs in the Comedy Channel. The biggest difference between Hillary Clinton and Pelosi is Hillary is an experienced and skilled liar. Pelosi is simply a very rich but stupid person, elected by a mostly addle-minded constituency.

    non_mooching_artist, I should have taken your suggestion about taking something before reading this, but it's only a little after 10 in the morning now. I had to read it to see what was in it, my bad. Next time I'll heed your advice no matter what time it is.

    She's bat-sh*t crazy, always has been. If she was worried about the little people, she wouldn't have secured minimum wage & benefit exemptions for the people of American Samoa (where her husband employs a huge swath of the population for his little company - Starkist Tuna).

    Her rant kind of goes with Elizabeth Warren's nonsense - "You didn't build your business, We built your business". Yeah, that's why 'everyone' is cut out to be a business founder/owner.

    The Dems absolutely promote class warfare... if not, 'tax everyone' to pay for freebies... not "tax the rich" (but never define what 'rich' is to them).

    Dems have done nothing for energy policy... that's been the brute force of American capitalism, and the market price which made it profitable to extract from other sources in the US (and is no longer the case now). If it was government policy, we wouldn't be seeing every broker in New York spam-dialing people to sell them oil wells right now (I had to start blocking numbers it was so bad with 10+ calls a day). It costs $70 / barrel to extract oil from shale, and at a sell-value of $50 / barrel, everyone is scrambling for a chair... that will cap again, will she take the heat for that?

    I agree with her on #10. That's it. No wonder I'm a Republican.

    I'm so happy Boehner took away her Boeing 767 that taxpayers funded so she wouldn't have to 'refuel' on her cross country trips out of 'terrorism threats while on the ground in Kansas'. She still owes the Air Force hundreds of thousands of dollars in booze consumed on-board that she never paid for... actually...

    I can't stand these people... (and a lot of Republicans are shady too)... but I kinda think Paul Ryan might be a decent guy. At least he's not in Neverland about the state of our finances.

    I've read the article & strongly disagree with all ten quotes. The State has no business in any of those areas of our lives.

        You're referring to "The debate of government’s role has been the debate since the beginning"?

        To what debate is she referring? The State’s role in the med/drug insurance biz? I’ve not seen that Repub/Dem makes much difference on that issue. They only debate about how much & in what details the state will intervene ‘twixt we subjects and our suppliers of chemicals and medical care, not whether the State has any business meddling & dictating in our lives.

    I'm tempted to offer a correction on the spelling of the name to Pelosillyni honoring both the inventor of fascist socialist terminology and the results of smoking too much.

    Ah what the hey. Why not? The good comrade has no doubt heard worse since the days of working for Jiffy.

    I submit itt makes far more sense than being a right on target of Carlinesque humor.

    Thanks for posting it.
    #1 - Makes no sense at all to me. Strongly disagree.
    #2 - I agree with Pelosi.
    #3 - I strongly disagree with Pelosi.
    #4 - True, but it wasn't just Democrats and it wasn't a wholy good thing.
    #5 - I don't know. It could be partly true.
    #6 - I don't begrudge anyone's success, but many people do.
    #7 - Simplistic. I disagree with Pelosi.
    #8 - She's just putting forward the bogus left/right ideological conflict narrative. What she's saying is wrong.
    #9 - I agree with Pelosi.
    #10 - I agree with Pelosi.

    I'm in about 40% agreement with her on these points. So she's shooting par considering the quotes are from an article critical of her.
