LOL That stupid woman cracks me up. What she meant to say is, "We are trying to save government spending and spening growth as we know it. Nancy Pelosi on today's vote: "What we're trying to do is save the world from the Republican budget. We're trying to save life on this planet as we know it today." http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/pelosis-reactionary-liberalism_577709.html
I would prefer to be saved from the Democratic budget, although frankly I'm not impressed by what either party has proposed. I'd like to save intelligent life on the planet, and that doesn't include Nancy Pelosi.
Then the latest Pew Research Poll should make her contemplate jumping off the San Fran Bridge: http://people-press.org/2011/07/28/obama-loses-ground-in-2012-reelection-bid/ "The sizeable lead Barack Obama held over a generic Republican opponent in polls conducted earlier this year has vanished as his support among independent voters has fallen off."
Keyword "we". Life as "we congressmen" know it. Yes they get lobbied. Yes they're at the top of the political food chain....
