The 99-percent should feel fortunate to have Nancy on their side!

CU,

Sirs reply to XO was based on this from XO:

Obama and Hillary are the first and third most popular persons in this country, so the Republican scumpumping machine has decided to go after Pelosi

reply 5

I'm pretty sure that XO was referring to your post 1 and your reply 4.

And then here is Sir's reply.

Xo must have missed the part that this isn't really about Pelosi, or even Obama's 2 children, or even Hillary.

If XO was responding to your two previous posts, which were about Pelosi and Michele, why would the subject no longer be about the two folks you mentioned?

And as a side note do we really care where Pelosi goes on her own dime?

[sirs]

Actually, its our dime.

And one last time, it's not near as much as where they go, as much as they're claim to be "connected to" that of the average citizen & feel our pain that Obama's economy has wrought us, when its apparent very few of us are able to routinely stay at $10,000/day hotels, or buy our kids $2000 dresses, or invest in enterprises that they are privvy to imminent legislation & knowledge to

But let's make this all about Pelosi

[BT]

Actually, its our dime.

Are you saying taxpayers paid for her lodging?

[sirs]

Without a record of a differentiation between money used from her salary and whatever "perks" are provided for as a congress critter, vs money from her investments, certainly could have

Well first you first claimed Sirs said it "wasn't about Pelosi"
Now you are changing it to "not about Pelosi & Michele".
But all that...what I see as nit-picking....really doesnt matter anyway.

Isn't it obvious that the bigger picture is that it's bout the hypocritical Left?
It could have just as easily been about Michael Moore, Al Gore, John Edwards, ect...

I mean very quickly the discussion went from Pelosi to including Michele Obama
before SIRS even mentioned Pelosi.

to me this pretty well shows it wasnt "just about Pelosi"
and really when ya think about it...."big picture" it's not about either Pelosi or Michele per se
it's about the Left
"oh we feel your pain" from our $10,000 a night hotel suite!

[Christians4LessGvt]

And as a side note do we really care where Pelosi goes on her own dime?

Oh I don't care where she stays...
except to expose her as the super, super wealthy elitist she is.

Her wealth is common knowledge. But thanks for sharing.

I doubt it's common knowledge that this FORMER Speaker of the House
that pretends "she feels your pain" stays in $10,000 a night hotel rooms while she voices
support for the Occupy Wall Street kids sleeping on the concrete.

Don't you find that odd BT?

That someone is out front proclaiming on national television how she supports
the movement while these kids...many of whom are jobless and/or homeless....
sleeping out in the cold on the pavement.....and she as a long time member of
the establishment goes and gets a $10,000 a night hotel suite?

If she has soooo much sympathy for the cause why not really slum-it...lol
and get a $6000 a night hotel suite & take the other $4000 & have some
warm coffee and food delivered to the people sleeping on the concrete?

[BSB]

I certainly hope that the sin of combining compassion with the enjoyment of personal wealth hasn't forced Ms. Pelosi to commit other sins like hanging around with Norman Lear or wishing people a Happy Holiday.

[sirs]

Yep....yep....let's keep making this about Pelosi.  Join the convoy, B

The whole idea behind occupy wall street was to highlight the inordinate amount of influence the monied interests can exert on politicians eager for donations. I don't believe money equals speech and i don't belief corporations should be able to donate to politicians they can't vote for. Same goes for unions. It is ridiculous that Obama is trying to raise 1 billion dollars so he can be re-elected.

It is ridiculous that congressional candidates spend multiple-million dollars for a two year stint. And it is ridiculous that their votes can be bought. It is ridiculous that government can pick winners and losers and back them with tax payer dollars.

I don't believe that part of the OW folks message is that much different than what the tea party folks rallied around.

So in that sense i support the OW's for bringing that portion of their message to the masses.

What i don't believe in is class warfare and the 99% mantra is a horrible divisive slogan.

[BSB]

".....yep....let's keep making this about Pelosi. Join the convoy, B"

Ah, just who the hell do you think CU4 is talking about?

BSB

P.S. I just had a delicious Buffalo, American Bison, burger. Leaner than beef cattle, and better, but expensive. $8.99 a pound. I feel the OW protesters pain though.

[BT]

Do they have Ted's Montana Grills up your way . It's a joint venture between Ted Turner and George McKerrow Jr ( who founded Longhorn Steaks) and they specialize in Bison dishes.

[BSB]

I'll be damned. I see they have 1 here in Ma. and not too far from me. I'll be there real soon.

A lot of the family restaurants (I try to avoid chains) serve bison and other "non standard" meats up here. Actually, one of my favorite burgers is emu.
