Nancy Pelosi: Civilization ‘In Jeopardy’ If GOP Takes Senate
WOW, HOW ABOUT THIS ONE!
On the one hand, California U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi claims that Democrats are not “fear-mongers;” on the other hand, she believes civilization is doomed if Republicans take control of the Senate from Democrats in November.
The former speaker of the House made those dramatic, incongruous statements on “Real Time with Bill Maher,” which aired live from Washington, D.C. Friday.
Maher asked Pelosi about recent polling which shows that the GOP is likely to take over the upper chamber and asked, given gridlock in Washingon, why it matters that Democrats keep control.
“It would be very important for the Democrats to retain control of the Senate,” Pelosi told Maher. “Civilization as we know it today would be in jeopardy if the Republicans win the Senate.”
Democrats currently hold 53 seats in the Senate. Republicans have 45. Two independents caucus with Democrats.
Maher asked about voter turnout for Democrats, which he asserted was too low to carry the party in the mid-term.
“Nobody comes about to vote to say ‘thank you,’” Maher said. “The people who get health care now — they’re the people least likely to vote. The people who come out to vote are the angry people.”
“That’s true,” said Pelosi. “Fear is a motivator, and we are not fear-mongers. The Democrats are messengers of hope, and that’s what we will continue to be.”
You know CFS, I simply don’t understand this woman. Actually, I don’t understand anyone who makes statements similar to this particular one!
Big Al……you don’t need to understand them……simply defeat them and problem solved….
Great point Gator!
gator is always a good sounding board for the true south………….get em gator…….get the pontoon ready just in case ………
She’s bou in public.ght and paid for by unions (teachers union and others) and motivated by how much profit she can create for her husband’s and family real estate.
She lies more often than tells the truth
She certainly does generate a lot of negative commentary from conservatives.
She is not defeatable. California is a sanctuary state, over-run by illegals who vote.
The state is bankrupt, and losing tax-payers at at incredible rate.
Just think CFS, when you finally decide to leave, you can always sneak back in through CallyMex……..and you will not need a passport.
And the numbers prove you correct,Professor.
She is a perfect example for the reason to introduce term limits.
Kathy and I were again discussing Saddlebrook on the way over here to Redmond.
Know anyone who might want to rent?
This woman is mentally ill seriously
Hataman,
I believe that she simply knows how to work the system.
S sure hope all you boys speak espanol….
Pelosi Predicts Obama Will Deliver A Holiday Surprise On Immigration
guaranteed it will be before the elections.
She’s had so many facelifts, her brain has been misplaced to the left.
Right out of Hefner’s magazine!
Don’t mess with the wicked witch of the West.
$101,000 Worth of Booze for PelosiIn the last two years, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)has spent an average of a thousand dollars a week on booze; and taxpayers have picked up the tab.
Lush…………………
My kind of gal. Why is she so cheap with the booze budget though?
That is the result when people donate a lot of the wine.
Of course! I never thought about it that way.
I wonder why we never got invited

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) saw her net worth rise 62 percent last year, cementing her status as one of the wealthiest members of Congress.
Pelosi was worth at least $35.2 million in the 2010 calendar year, according to a financial disclosure report released Wednesday. She reported a minimum of $43.4 million in assets and about $8.2 milion in liabilities.
Source: The Hill.
I believe much of her wealth was developed via her husband in real estate, using her connections. E.g. the new high speed rail link recently passed will increase her net worth probably by an order of magnitude, because it will put property owned by her & husband in easy commuting distance instead of currently being well outside commuting distance.
I cannot remember her ever doing the morally correct thing of abstaining on any bill by which she would financially benefit; indeed, she often has introduced earmarks to benefit herself.
Interesting posted simultaneously?
My post got co-mingled with that of Kevin Bogardus
Interesting. Maybe the software doesn’t have a record locking mechanism for posts? Also, never seen anyone with that name post here before.
She’s a corrupt clown.
You can say she is a clown after she gets that red nose, after a couple of drinks….
Jerry, a 1000 a month barely qualifies her as alcoholic if she shares it around with her friends. It’s peanuts.
Seriously….I could spend that much or more and I am not even a Democrat.
It’s only 33 bucks a day.
*Hic*
She is definitely not a clown. She is a very astute politician who knows the system and how to work it.
I believe that I understand her intellect and her motives. I simply have to completely disagree with her. I would say that I disagree with her even more that I disagree with Obama.
AL, you have to be nice……..but, did you see how she acted when she received the gavel ,,which was 10 times the size of a judge’s gavel…………She looked like a clown, acted like a clown….danced around like a clown…….Spoke like clown…….
we can call you Rudolf and she can be BOZO………….lol
Valentino? Who knows, after a few get tied on anything is possible. What’s a few dollars in drinks anyway? You go out to the bar, drop 200 bucks on highballs, a plate of Natchos and a pack of smokes and the night is done. If I was a politician of her stature I would need a thousand a night minimum!
Reindeer………
Is it a red or a white?
Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer…………Santa’s playmate……….or Leader of the Pack..
Maybe Pelosi , could get her a Reindeer , and call it BIG BUCK…….
Next time I am in the Liquor Store I will ask for a bottle. Thanks Jerry!
It’s a week, not a month. And you and the rest of the tax serfs are paying for it.
In California that’s a couple of bottles a day.
But she does not drink very much in real life.
Exactly CFS. Its only a couple bottles of good wine a day. Like I said…peanuts.
If there’s one thing Bug-eyed Pelosi knows it’s How To Create Depressions.
CIVILIZATION IN JEOPARDY
Sorry people but civilization is gone and so is America. The barbarians crept in back in the 19th century and slowly but surely took over and killed civilization and the America everyone admired. How do you get back what barbarians stole? You have to fight them and kill every last one of them then you have to guard against other barbarians coming in and taking over again. That is the price of civilization and freedom.
Nancy Pelosi,
What a utterly detestable, unconscionable, unfit and unqualified political hack. A cancerous growth that can’t be removed.
I simply shutter in horror knowing that there are about 530 of the 535 sellouts inhabiting and infestating Washington DC that think and act just like her. Even more stunning is that the Muppet’s of America voted this incompetent figure into office and continues to do so on a recurring basis.
There’s nothing that’s turning this rudderless drifting ship of state around until mother-nature the world pushes the reset button.
I tell ya, Vortex, is it any coincidence that NOT ONE politician even had one hair on their heads touched by them tarrists (as Bushie called ’em) while nearly 3000 non-politicians died that day???
We are supposed to believe that a flight was destined for the White House or Congress.
Are you saying you like her Vortex?!!
I am curious V, how do you feel about the proposed action of the president as regards to the Middle East. Do you think that he is trying to show the world that the US is still the savior of all?
Al,
I know you are serious, and trying to be serious with your question, but there can be no answer because everything and everyone involved in the very topic you purpose to be answered is an abject sociopathic fraud and liar that facilitates and fosters this targeted agenda.
The entire degeneration and social collapse of the Middle-east construct is a gigantic calculated fabricated treasonous fraud, completely bases on lies and misdirection. It’s genesis was created by a Anglo-American centric criminal class and as a result of those acts, its off-springs incarnation of hate and slaughter now threatens the world.
When, an individual chooses to harbor at the very core of their belief system core thoughts based on a false paradigm, fabrication, lies and fraud there can be no real answer to questions being ask because, as it relates to the ME the entire ME debacle was based and born and facilitated on unconscionable lies and fraud from cradle to grave at the highest levels of our nations politcal class.
Obama is a mere figure-head at the top of the rabbit hole capstone, a useful political puppet used for misdirection, blame, providing the shadow elite overhead cover and deniable plausibility.
Until you choose to acknowledge the rabbit hole exists and attempt to see how deep it goes, you will never find the truth. Of course you only find the truth if you really want to know the truth.
V
Bob,
Its all a giant game of illusion and deceit, and the public laps it up like a bad David Copperfield magic act.
Nothing will stop Demons and Reptiles that masquerade as U.S. representatives from staining the filthy streets of D.C. and the world with blood and dispare.
Its now out of our hands Bob, the sociopaths that captured our nations political and banking apparatus put this nation on totalitarian cruise control a longtime ago.
Only divine intervention and the international communities mythical reset button will stop whats coming.
I’m not optimistic.
Yes, the politicians are beneath contempt.
This guy really get’s rolling around 5:30
Maybe bob these guys are beneath contempt. I’ve long held such a view of ex PM Tony Blair. Why? Because he seems to have sold out to filthy lucre, which so quickly becomes the all-devouring deity, ready to take powerful people down the road to perdition.
However just this past week the Irish arch-Protestant and later politician Revd Dr Ian Paisley has died aged 88. If ever there was a man who, in his earlier life, inspired loathing for his devil-spitting curses, it was Paisley. Arguably there were several decades during which the man seemed to be an all-out sociopath, only in love with himself and his brand of Christianity.
But the miracle (although to this day not a few would call it a ‘sell-out’) was when he and Sinn Fein’s master of munitions Martin McGuinness drew up a power-sharing compact for Northern Ireland in 2006. From then onwards such became the friendship between the two men that they were dubbed ‘the chuckle brothers’, whereby a sort of peace has continued in that province to the present day!
I hold no brief for countless politicians. Some are detestable and can ruin people’s lives for decades, if not centuries. But oft times I’m inclined to say ‘there but for the grace of God go you or I’. For if given power and wealth, who knows what it can do someone’s soul?
Of course Nancy Pelosi sounds repulsive. But in the end all these people must answer to a higher power and who, perhaps unbeknown to them are already living in their own hell. For all his amassed wealth Tony Blair often strikes me as a man already suffering his own personal torment. Of course he’ll bluster and blather on. But sooner or later socio’psychopaths must face the conscience they have chosen to repress for too long. For yes, I do believe that even psychos have a conscience that one day will find them out!
So if I dare to offer any advice it is this: Of course politics is a giant game of delusion and deceit’, the majority of whose partakers can so easily end up as fools. Yet in the greater scheme of thing such fools will always flounder and end up in a hell of their own making. So don’t get too consumed with rage.
Rage was the route Paisley took over many years, but which in his case and in his twilight years ended in some sort of remarkable reconciliation.
Best, A
You know Andrew,
I get solace from my faith because in the end I believe that all will be well.
I enjoy our discussions here very much because all of us are pretty intelligent and certainly well informed.
I will continue to state my opinions and take appropriate actions.
throughout all of this I still can sleep at night because of my faith. Perhaps as important is that I can pretty unemotionally discuss issues with anyone as God is guiding me.
Beautifully put Al. Am with you through and through. A
Political topics sure do bring out the worst in people.
Here is a list of honest politicians:

Nice 1. Bobby
Suppose to be a smiley. 🙂
Re Scottish independence New poll today puts the better together campaign at 54 to 46 against.
My guess is that Scotland will stay a part of the UK.
English people on the dole need Scottish oil.
Commonsense might prevail.
Can one imagine the inconvenience and cost of independence?
New embassies, new consulates, abroad needed. Replacement of passports for all Scots who wish to travel. New defense forces, although I suspect this would be an agreement with England. New bureaucracy at all levels. Most replacement of existing, but some new.
What a parasite.
Africa for Africans, Asia for Asians, White Countries for Everyone is White GEnocide.
Throw these people in Jail for their treason and complicity is the destruction of a nation.
Where is the real anger and disgust for this contemptible behavior.
Clearly a reason for advocating raising the voting age:

nice interview…………….
thanks…………
Andrew..if Scotland votes yes then the english, northern irish and welsh would also have to change their passports as they also would not be the UK of great britain.
For all the rhetoric on this site we probably have only scratched the surface, if the truth was known the corruption is probably 10 times worse then we will ever know.
They are all lining their pockets to such an extant that you won’t find any whistleblowers amongst them and who knows what else goes on in those private booze parties. That’s when reality is much more interesting than any Hollywood movie could portray.
There is a prime example of a scumbag, liar politician. In it for what she can get out of it, even if she destroys San Francisco, California or the whole US.
