Pelosi throws cold water on weapons ban
« on: February 28, 2009, 01:27:21 AM »



By Mike Soraghan Posted: 02/26/09 11:59 AM [ET] House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tossed cold water on the prospect of reinstating the assault weapons ban, highlighting Democrats’ reluctance to take on gun issues.
Attorney General Eric Holder raised the prospect Wednesday that the administration would push to bring back the ban. But Pelosi (D-Calif.) indicated on Thursday that he never talked to her. The Speaker gave a flat “no” when asked if she had talked to administration officials about the ban.


“On that score, I think we need to enforce the laws we have right now,” Pelosi said at her weekly news conference. “I think it's clear the Bush administration didn’t do that.”
Outside of the dig at the recent Republican president, that phrase is the stock line of those who don’t want to pass new gun control laws, such as the National Rifle Association.
The White House declined to comment on Holder's remarks, referring reporters to the Department of Justice. The DoJ did not respond to The Hill's request for comment.

I think the 2010 elections are going to be like the 1994 elections, with a lot of democrat congressmen getting tossed from office. They are, after all, the congress with the lowest approval rating ever.

All I can say Jeremy,



That's what should happen, but I never believed someone with so little political experience would be run for President. Nor could I have ever believed that the public could have voted him into office. A Group Leaded ???



I suspect some foul play was involved with this last election, and believe that this will continue until accountability is demanded by all. With electronic voting machines, anything is possible, how can you check ?????????



I trust very few people, and would never trust a politician, ever, even if it were me !



And as far as Nancy P., they can't take the chance of too many people at ounce being outraged and disenfranchised, it is better for them to wait until this money issue has passed, and then divide and conquer !

Gentlemen, this is the first time I have actually felt afraid about our nation.  The path that we are heading right now in very bad at best.  I don't want to be a fatalist but my concern is this.  From the feeling I pick up on the streets, at work and among friends, it seems this will end up in an actual revolt if they do not stop pressing us into this direction. The money, the"bailouts", the ungodly laws they are pressing. The public has been blindly following this new messiah which is nothing more than a pied piper playing the tune to keep him popular. In other words, he says what he thinks keeps people happy but does not back it up with actions. His actions show the true socialist agenda that he pushes and will follow. He is  actually taking us down in the hardest and most degrading way possible. I pray the majority wakes up and gets this straight before it gets nasty.  



May God have mercy on us all,

Were not quite there yet buddy ! But she's a coming !



The Democrats have been wanting this opportunity for years and years, never since the last great depression have the Democrats had so much fun with our money. Given the questionable economic situation we are now facing, why isn't the "Government" buying up the "bad mortgage bundles" and why are there no regulations on them, at all ? If a house is on fire, and the Federal Government comes to put it out, do you want them to water your garden, wash the car or clean the streets ? Well that's about what their doing...



This "questionable" economic disaster took some doing, and when Bush and Mc Cain raised the red flag,the democrats shouted them down ! Don't fix it aint broken,,,,,yet.



What has happened to the investigations on short buying of OIL ? And what have they done to prevent this from happening again next week ??? It looks to me as we have Government of FOXES guarding the hen house !



Obama's new slogan should be a PIG in EVERY POT !!!! He had the nerve to tell America that there was NO PORK in his "STIMULATING PACKAGE", but it sure is stimulating the Congress and Senate, did you see Nancy Piloci and the Democrats at Obama's sp each ? Nancy, Harry and Howard were in orgasmic convulsions as Nancy was flying out of her seat, even when Obama only stuttered.



And has anyone here even asked why these people are so happy ? MONEY, MONEY, MONEY ! Now they can spend all your money, without getting legitimate bids, they will go to the highest bidder "Quid Pro Quo". or the party that is willing to "PLAY TO PLAY", or offer Something for Something, YOUR MONEY !



I hope no one here believes that these people "serve" because of some need to help "the people", They SERVE the PEOPLE, to HELP THEMSELVES. Ideology only lasts until your first missed meal ! If they SERVED US ANY BETTER, WE WOULD BE ON THE MENU AT THE CONGRESSIONAL CAFE !



I must stop now, before my blood pressure causes my head to explode.

Anyone here ever stop to realize that the Republican method of fixing things is akin to banging your head against a brick wall?

Throwing money at corporations with no strings attached thinking they'll use it for hiring people is naieve and foolish. They'll give themselves bonuses.

HELL YES to Obama for pulling out tax breaks for corporations outsourcing our jobs.

HELL YES to Democrats for actually trying something other than failed policies.


And don't forget, the last REPUBLICAN in office left us with a HUGE deficit, and REFUSED TO INCLUDE THE WAR IN HIS BUDGET. Repubs had their time in power, and they have a horrible economy and a mess in the Middle East to show for it. Get out, Republicans, and let the Dems fix the mess again.


Here in California, Republicans caused a HUGE budget delay.


It seems to me Republicans are trying to drive the country into the ground.

Well Michael,



I would first mention the fact that William J. Clinton, did nothing but ride the success of Reagan and Bush I.



When Osama began his campaign to Destroy the Infidels, and attacked U.S. Embassies, and attacked the U.S.S. Cole, Billy Clinton fired 20 some million dollar missiles into an empty dessert ! And when old Billy had an opportunity to capture Osama, he declined. As said, more lives have been lost because of no decision, than wrong decision !



As for Bush II's economy, I guess you don't remember, or were not old enough to remember the Internet Bust, the 9-11 attack on the United States, the War in Afghanistan, the Economic downturn after 9-11 and the Cost of War with both Afghanistan and Iran. I can go into the war with Iran if you recall want to better understand the why's of it.



And as for Waste, Baa's first day in office, spent $174,000,000, or almost three time what George Bush II spent on the Inauguration Festivities. And do you realize how many millions it cost the taxpayers every time the President flies AirForceOne somewhere to make political speeches, to push his economic policies. And can you imagine the cost of Approving, or not-approving, Obama's tax cheating Appointments to Cabinet Positions. Is this really whatat he thinks of the American People ? Offering Us Thieves ??? Tax Cheats ! Those who have no Love or Respect of the Laws of our Country ? And Gladly Ignore and circumvent them ! Or are these just the best he could find, that would cooperate with his Rape of America !



I would appreciate it if you would look at both sides of an issue, as I do. I hate to look one sided, when there is more than one side to an issue. And when you see that the Democrats were the majority of the Congress, those that have the power to spend or save money, for the last two years of Bill's term of office, the Democrats were in office two years before the GREAT Housing Decline, they wrote the budgets for the lasttwo years of Bush II Presidency. Or didn't they come to work, or were they perpetrating there scams back then, so that it would look like Bush II was responsible for all their handy work, or lack there of !



Now that I have totally depressed myself, reviewing the factual history of this situation....Democrats,,,Politicians...
