House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has come up with her own terms for GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney as Democrats try to popularize the term “Romnesia” to symbolize changing positions.
On The Daily Show last night, Pelosi said she prefers the term “Mittology.”
On PBS yesterday, she went with the more tongue-twisting “Mitt-thology.”
“I call these things the Mitt-thology, the mythology that President Obama has taken money from Medicare and used it for the Obamacare, completely false,” Pelosi said.
She also questioned polls that show Romney narrowing the gender gap with women voters, adding, “It’s very hard to tell how important or how real the polling is at this time.”
“It’s a question of who has a cell phone or are Democrats more willing to be interviewed by a pollster or you know, all of those things so. I think the early voting is favoring the president,” Pelosi said. “The Election Day will tell the tale and we can use — we can speculate all we want about it but I think any assumptions based on how it used to be in elections are very stale.”
“People communicate in a different way, voting is not just one day anymore and again, the difference between if you are a large number of your interviewees are on a cell phone or on a land line it’s a — you know, we’re just going to have to wait until Election Day to find out what it is.”
She has confidently predicted, despite pollsters’ predictions, that Democrats will retake the House, but shrugged off a question about the next Democratic speaker.
“What the least important part of all of this discussion is who the next House Speaker is, but it is important,” she said.
Pelosi also panned the Washington Post’s Bob Woodward for his book in which he says it was the president, not House Republicans, who walked away from a deficit-reduction deal.
“And we said, absolutely, we have to go, $4 trillion in deficit reduction at a time when the full faith and credit of the United States of America is in question. I don’t know, I never had a conversation about Bob Woodward but I was in the room,” she said. “I don’t even — didn’t read the book, I don’t know what else is in there so I don’t know if it begins from the origin of man until the future, or if it is specific to that day.”
“Apparently he was more interested in talking to John Boehner than he was to hearing the other side,” Pelosi complained of Woodward.
never been anyone as stupid as her in a speaker roll or congress period…what a dunce
Greetings:
Personally, I always enjoy hearing from the First Woman ex-Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Conress of the United States of America.
“I think the early voting is favoring the president.”
Forgive my ignorance here but I’m Canadian and I’m not sure what practices are in the USA regarding early voting. Are the votes that are cast early tabulated and reported prior to the election? Otherwise, how could Pelosi possibly know whether those votes favour Obama or Romney?
I have always assumed that early votes are simply kept in a secure place until the polls close on election day then all votes, whether cast on election day or weeks earlier, are counted together. In other words, I thought that no one counted early ballots until the end of the balloting period. Am I wrong about that?
Or has Nancy Pelosi just admitted that the Democrats are looking at the ballots before they are supposed to be counted? Wouldn’t that be a massive violation of election procedures?
Any time Pelosi says anything, they should just play that clip of her saying “we have to pass the bill to find out what’s in it” Even if she isn’t speaker anymore that would help raise republican voter enthusiasm. I know I for one had her evil smirking visage in my mind as I voted straight ticket R in 2010.
That is quite a statement and also very sad because it’s true.
