Pelosi critical of Palin choice

August

Although Sen. John McCain has chosen a woman as his running mate on the GOP presidential ticket, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi isn’t pleased.

Pelosi, a California Democrat, has issued a statement criticizing McCain for choosing Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin saying it “raises serious questions about his judgment.”

“Why, when the country is fighting two wars, facing an uncertain economy and an energy crisis, did Sen. McCain make the choice that he did?’’ Pelosi asked. “Why, with so many other qualified women and men in his party, did John McCain choose Sarah Palin? Sarah Palin is not the right choice. She shares John McCain’s commitment to overturning Roe v. Wade and continuing George Bush’s failed economic policies.’’

    John McCain wants to jump on what he thinks is the ‘bandwagon’ of change without any real notion of what change means. Good grief, he has clearly lost his mind.

    Ms. Pelosi, from “Berserkley,” is calling out another person on “judgment”?

    That’s why this fifth-generation Californian has been an adopted New Yorker for 27 years.

    Lots of fun from here to November.

    Nancy Pelosi is so wacked out she doesn’t even know the abortion teachings of her own church. Well, the more accurate way to state it is that she does know, but lied about what they are. As usual.

    There are times when lofty discourse must yield to blunt talk. So, bite me Nancy.

    I would not believe anything out of the mouth of Pelosi. Her credibility is gone since she would not allow the vote and the act of turning off lights and air conditioning. A three year old would do that!!!! Is she jealous? and maybe next time she will throw a temper tantrum

    Nancy Pelosi should talk….. she is part of the political machine that Sarah Palin would love to investigate and toss out of Government. As far as Roe V Wade, this will never be overturned and it is a shame that the democrats continue to use it as a scare tactic. Enough with the Abortion issue and lets get to the real heart of the matter. We need good leaders, and it seems that putting a woman on the republican ticket is a win win move. Better than Obama choosing a good ‘ol boy from Washington instead of Hillary who would have clinched the parties victory. Now this election has suddenly become VERY interesting!

    JUST SAY NOBAMA !!!
    Oh stop whining Democrats … for the past year, you’ve been trying every trick in the book to shove an inexperienced, empty suit, Barack Hussein Obama, down the throats of Americans. Sure, maybe you sweetened the bad taste by adding pretty speeches, big swooning crowds, and fireworks … but, you still tried to shove him down our throats, at every opportunity. Democrats, it was a lot easier to highjack the primary election than it’s going to be with the general election. Looks like America is going to elect McCain/Palin for President and V.P.. And, that means: No Wright, no Farrakahn, no Ayers, no Rezko, no mean Michelle, and, NOBAMA !!!

    The Dems would like everyone to forget Wright, Pfleger, Ayers, Rezko, and Obama’s coming out of a corrupt political machine in Chicago. They also would like everyone to forget he’s an empty suit, socialist egghead from Harvard.

    They also would like everyone to forget that Michelle Obama, who is no shrinking violet, sat beside Barack in Wright’s “church”—where she also willingly listened to that same bile and anti-America hatred for 20 years.

    But at least Michelle didn’t throw her own grandmother off the train, like Barack so infamously did.

  9. Tim Hays

    Ms. Pelosi represents drugged-out California radicals (those who haven’t died yet, at least).

    Because she is an opportunist (and panderer; she CAN’T believe everything she says, God help us) her criticism is to be expected.

    Let Berkeley float off into the Bay. I hope only Sproul Hall remains.

    Worse, for her: California is no longer a “swing” or “battleground” state. RWR was the last Republican to carry it. So, her peroration on McCain’s choice of the Mayor of Mooseport won’t affect this race.
