Nancy Pelosi: Republicans Just Want to ‘Destroy’ Everything

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D- Cal) unleashed all the House Minority Leader fury she could muster against Republicans yesterday.

The former Speaker of the House spoke to the liberal Think Progress, and shared her assessment that the debt ceiling fight for conservatives has nothing to do with the debt.

Summarizing her views on Republicans who believe a $13 trillion deficit is something to be concerned about, Pelosi said:

“It is about destroying government — federal involvement in education. It’s about lean air, clean water, food safety, public safety. You name it, they’re there to diminish it. Destroy it.”

    Nancy, You are correct in that we do want to destroy what our government has become: A bloated self serving, over spending, over regulating, monstrocity. Yes, we want to return control of our schools to the local level and eliminate the unions that have destroyed them. Yes, we want to eliminate the unholy alliance between all unons and the democratic party. Yes, we want to shrink the size and power of the federal government.

    No, we don’t want to destroy food safety, clean air and water, and all of the other worn out talking points you keep repeating. You just can’t stand not being the almighty speaker of the house. John is doing a much better job and he does not need to Fly Air Force 3 to do it.

      In short Nancy. What we want to destroy is all of the “good things” that have benn inflicted upon us by 75 years of Liberal/progressive policies in our government. Goodbye Great Society, New Deal, Square Deal and every other regressive destructive action of you people and a return to the Constitution, God and the values that made this country great. In words of fewer sylables that you can understand: “BYE, BYE NANCY, DON’T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU IN THE BRAINS ON THE WAY OUT.”….Just sayin’

      Well said I would take it a step further to say yes I want to destroy every single social progressive program that has been created that has only hampered the American citizen and burdened them with taxes and regulations. I want to see every single restrictive policy that is found to be unonstitutional “destroyed”. So uhhh yea Nanzi Pelozei I will agree with what you are saying… to a degree.

      Nothing like using their own words to further “our” agenda to a restored Republic!

      Republicans destroyed the American Economy during 8 years of warmongering, and deficit borrow and spend pile-a-tricks which is what helped get President Obama elected.

      So long as Republicans continue with their “burn down the village” policies, I’ll never vote for any one of them.

      RFYCOM: You said, “the right said putting money is the wealthy’s pockets would create more jobs.” May I correct your glaring world view? We say let the wealthy keep more of their own money; THEY EARNED IT, NEITHER YOU NOR THE GOVERNMENT DID. They know how to create jobs and wealth, niether you nor the government can do that. You also said, “The left said demand creates jobs not tax breaks for the wealthy. Could it be the left was right?” True that demand must be there before there is a opportunity for a product or for a job but when the demand appears, it also takes a man, a woman, a partnership, a corporation, somebody with the funds (that they earned) who is willing to RISK, I SAID RISK, RISK their hard earned money to take advantage of that opportunity, that demand, and unless government becomes socialistic/communistic (government owns industry) the government will not be able to jump onto the opportunity. Since we don’t want a socialist/communist government, then you must realize that we need a strong business environment to take advantage of the wealth creating opportunities that reveal themselves.
