Remember last summer when Nancy Pelosi compared Tea Party activists to Nazis? In case you forgot, her response to a reporter who asked her about the legitimacy of the Tea Party movement and opposition to Obamacare was that the activists were “AstroTurf” as opposed to “grassroots” activists (that’s rich coming from the party of George Soros funded “activism”). Pelosi then said that activists carried “swastikas and symbols like that.” Well, the Speaker didn’t really mean all that stuff, it was just a slip of the tongue. Now Democrats have all kinds of things in common with the Tea Party activists! In an interview on ABC this week Pelosi had this to say about the Tea Party:

But, you know, we share some of the views of the Tea Partiers in terms of the role of special interest in Washington, D.C., as — it just has to stop. And that’s why I’ve fought the special interest, whether it’s on energy, whether it’s on health insurance, whether it’s on pharmaceuticals and the rest.

Interesting. Now that election season is creeping up Pelosi needs some of those ‘bitter clinger’s votes.’  And as for her statement, that the Democrats share some values with the Tea Party, in case the Speaker hasn’t figured it out, the Tea Party was formed because people were disgusted with the excesses of the Democrat’s socialist agenda.

And another thing. She took on the special interests? In pharmaceuticals? In case you forgot…. in  2007 Nancy Pelosi proposed a bill that would directly benefit a drug company that had made donations to her campaign in excess of $30,000, had former employees of that drug company on her staff, and Pelosi’s husband had a quarter of a million dollars invested in the company.  Was she fighting special interests when she had the company American Samoan, which has contributed to her campaigns and which her husband has millions of dollars invested in, exempted from minimum wage hikes in 2009? Nancy Pelosi typifies the Democrat’s problem – she is disingenuous and completely detached from reality.
