THE ULTIMATE LEFT-WING "COMMON GOOD": Pelosi would sacrifice the USA to "save the planet"

PELOSI, HERE:

With fewer than 20 legislative days before the new fiscal year begins Oct. 1, the entire appropriations process has largely ground to a halt because of the ham-handed fighting that followed Republican attempts to lift the moratorium on offshore oil and gas exploration.

And after promising fairness and open debate, Pelosi has resorted to hard-nosed parliamentary devices that effectively bar any chance for Republicans to offer policy alternatives.

“I’m trying to save the planet; I’m trying to save the planet,” she says impatiently when questioned. “I will not have this debate trivialized by their excuse for their failed policy.”

“I respect the office that I hold,” she says. “And when you win the election, you win the majority, and what is the power of the speaker? To set the agenda, the power of recognition, and I am not giving the gavel away to anyone.”

• 
  
  THIS ALSO IS WHY THE EUROLEFT LOVES PELOSI AND OBAMA: THE EUROLEFT'D SACRIFICE YOU AND ME - AND THE USA, TOO.

• EITHER ON THE ALTAR OF AGW OR SOAKING THE RICH.

• THE DESIRE TO BRING THE USA DOWN A NOTCH, IS SOMETHING THE LEFT HAS IN COMMON WITH BINLADEN: THAY ALL WANT THE USA "CHASTISED".

VOTE ACCORDINGLY.
