'Some People Will Do Anything For Insurance Companies '...Pelosi plays the Who's Your Daddy card

STOP IT, Speaker Pelosi, STOP IT! You're going to make Minority Leader Boehner cry!





:rofl:



Pelosi Defends Herself Against Boehner: Some People Will Do Anything For Insurance Companies

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said John Boehner would "do anything" for insurance companies as she sought to defend herself against the House Minority Leader's claims that she used "one-party rule" to gain votes for the health care reform bill.

During an intense speech on the floor of the House Sunday evening, Boehner denounced Pelosi's tactics, at one point yelling "Shame on you. Shame."

Pelosi responded to Boehner Monday in an interview with ABC's Diane Sawyer "Well, you know, some people will do anything for the insurance companies."

Pelosi continued:

"You strive for bipartisanship when you can. When you find your common ground, that's great. If you don't find your common ground, you have to stand your ground," she said. "And in addition to that, you want bipartisanship, but you cannot let the lack of bipartisanship stand in the way of making this change that is important to the American people."

2. Am I right?
They are putting off all kinds of what they say this bill is to reform for years. Are they putting off giving money to the corporations?

4. I expect you will pay for it from your very next paycheck.
The IRS is no slouch at collections.

1. K&R for "Who's your daddy?"
I watched a clip of this on TV. It was a world class smackdown. Don't mess with Madame Speaker.
