Pelosi: 'Elections Shouldn't Matter as Much as They Do'
Published April 13, 2011

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi arrives for a news conference on Capitol Hill April 7.
After a few months back in the minority, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi says elections "shouldn't matter as much as they do."
That's what the former House speaker told a Massachusetts crowd Friday in between the raucous budget debate on Capitol Hill. Talking about the importance of shared values, Pelosi seemed to urge Republicans to moderate their views so that the space between the parties is not so vast. Then, she imagined, elections wouldn't be so determinative.
"To my Republican friends, take back your party, so that it doesn't matter so much who wins the election because we have shared values about, again, the education of our children, the growth of our economy, how we defend our country," she said.
Pelosi went on to say: "There's so many things at risk right now ... but the fact is is that elections shouldn't matter as much as they do, (there) should be some place on the spectrum where we respect each other's views and all the rest."
Otherwise, she said, "that can be problematic for the country, as I think we can see right now."
But the comments, made at Tufts University, seemed a departure from remarks President Obama made on the topic shortly after he took office.
During a widely reported meeting with Republicans about economic proposals, Obama was quoted telling the GOP leaders "elections have consequences," and, in case there was any doubt, "I won."
Back in 2009, Pelosi also agreed about the consequence of the vote, especially in terms of developing the stimulus bill: "Yes, we wrote the bill. Yes, we won the election."

little hurt by that slap huh pelosi?

ya.... the freak..

So what she is saying is that "you Republicans are so unreasonable and so far out there. If only you would think like us, and desire the same things as us, and well, be just like us and agree on everything we agree on, then these silly elections wouldn't be so important...because we would all be clones, er, the same, and it wouldn't matter which one of us you'd vote into office. You would get the same results, the best results, because the democra, er, uh, WE, and YOU all know what is best...if you weren't a Republi, uh, one of them."

#2 What Obama really said

"If I could just send all those who disagree with me to the camps, everything would be peachy keen."

That demonstrates the exact attitude from both sides that has destroyed the ability to civilly discuss political differences of opinion in this country for more than a decade now. Sad. Unhealthy. Divisive.

#14 the democrats are ones to talk. We are in a nation full of people sick of the extreme liberalism of the democrats in congress (though the repubicans sure have some of their own extremists) and the massive turnover in the last election is enough to prove that. Her statements are just another example showing how Pelosi and others are out of touch with the people they are meant to represent.
