GOP Running Scared from 'Speaker Pelosi'

o
Move over Dennis ... come November there will likely be a new sheriff in town!

The Hill, in GOP hopes ‘Speaker Pelosi’ will scare voters this fall reports:

Congressional Republicans have begun a media campaign to scare voters about the prospect that Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) likely would become Speaker if Democrats retake the House in November.

The attacks have come from Majority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) and the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC). Party strategists are also encouraging surrogates on K Street to suggest that a Pelosi-led Congress would try to impeach President Bush.

We can only hope!

The Hill story went on to say:

The Republican National Committee attacked Pelosi after she appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on May 7, saying that “Nancy Pelosi’s vision for the future is one of higher taxes on working Americans, cut and run in Iraq and a little impeachment thrown in for good measure.”

The Republicans have Pelosi confused with themselves -- Congressional Republicans are the ones who have raised taxes on working Americans, while giving HUGE tax cuts to the most wealthy in this country. Just look at the break Republicans recently gave their friends.

The Washington Post reported annual savings under the latest Republican tax cut as follows:

$10,000-$20,000: $2
$20,000-$30,000: $9
$30,000-$40,000: $16
$40,000-$50,000: $46
$50,000-$75,000: $100
$75,000-$100,000: $403
$100,000-$200,000: $1,388
$200,000-$500,000: $4,499
$500,000-$1 million: $5,562
More than $1 million: $41,977

A majority of Americans are not happy with the US being in Iraq, and the president's approval ratings are at an all-time low. It seems it's the Republicans -- not Nancy Pelosi -- that Americans should fear.

Jennifer Crider, Pelosi’s spokeswoman, retorted, “Why are Republicans threatened by a mother of five and grandmother of five? Because Leader Pelosi is effective. House Democrats are united, disciplined and working for a new direction for America — one that works for all Americans, not just the privileged few.”

Go Nancy ... go Nancy ... go Nancy ...
