I know you're not... I hear you loud and clear. My point was that Pelosi has the proverbial "balls" to say something like this when the situation I described exists.

Aaahh. Got it. I hear YOU loud and clear.

History again repeats itself...

Finally I recalled the stopgap solution of a great princess who was told that the peasants had no bread, and who responded: "Let them eat brioche."


I say this with every ounce of the dignity her position as a Congresswoman and former Speaker of the House deserves: Nancy Pelosi is an ass.

INDEED.

WHAT DIGNITY?

They sold any their gnat's fart's worth of dignity their first week in D.C. for a Sunday paper.

The treasonous . . . creatures from an endless booze and orgy party gone bad deserve Leavenworth . . . in exchange for their phony manipulative, arrogant, traitorous, globalist, Marxist destructiveness to the Constitution and the Republic.

What a horrid farce.

They care not a flip about the sheeple and exalt brazenly in said disdain.

They exalt in how brilliant they are to snooker so many so evily.

May they all fall in the pit they have dug for the rest of us.

Pelosi: Congressional pay cut undermines dignity of the job



House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday that she opposes a cut in congressional pay because it would diminish the dignity of lawmakers' jobs.


thehill.com...
What dignity?

Making 6 figures to screw people over that dignity?

"I don't think we should do it; I think we should respect the work we do," Pelosi told reporters in the Capitol. "I think it's necessary for us to have the dignity of the job that we have rewarded."


Pelsoi you are a millionaire, and so are most congressman.



Plenty of it by corrupt government contracts in California for her hubby's firm, too.




I don't respect anything she or her colleagues do in fact I support a pay cut since none of those people on the tax payer dime earns a damn dollar they make.

They live like kings and queens yet think they are doing us a favor with nine dollars a hour?

Something we can agree on! I never thought I'd see the day.

Congress critters are SO out of touch with the people, and DON'T care about the people or their needs... how can they possibly accurately represent the people? They're doing a HORRIBLE job. Not only should their pay be cut until they prove they can do the job, but MANY of them should be fired. Today.

There is no dignity left in the job. They have stripped all dignity from the job and left it for dead. The current Congress (with VERY few exceptions), are just leaching from US, doing absolutely as little as possible to maintain their income, enjoying their perks and excellent health care and doing the crappiest job of representation possible. They do not represent the people, they represent themselves and their corporate owners... because that's what's good for their "career"...

Yeah, make it about her being liberal. Throw that divisive wrench into the works...

This is something we can all agree on - NOT that she's liberal, and therefore bad - but that all of Congress is failing us. Pelosi is a great example, but it's NOT because she is liberal. Bringing her politics into it is just... irrelevant. There are MANY conservative people in Congress (and conservative districts) who are just as bad, if not worse.

NO!!!
Their pay should be that of their home states average yearly wage. That includes Congress, Senate, Mayors, Governors and President and Vice. The President and Vice should have their pay equal to the national average.



AS for dignity???? Her brain has truly gone rotten to the core.

Pelosi, you have no dignity.

This is the cause of large expanding Govt. More morons on charge, doing moronic things and making moronic statements.
