On Thursday Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) used the time-honored race card, suggesting Republicans who won’t allow a vote on comprehensive immigration reform are racists. She said she believes the reform issue would be different if the illegal immigrants in question were from somewhere like Ireland.
If Pelosi wants actual open and honest debate how can it be helpful to use these race-baiting red herring tactics?
“I think race has something to do with the fact that they’re not bringing up an immigration bill,” she said at her weekly press conference. “I’ve heard them say to the Irish, ‘If it were just you, this would be easy.'”Pelosi and other Democrats have urged House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to allow a vote on an immigration bill that has support from a majority of the Democratic caucus and three GOP members.
So far, they haven’t had any luck: Boehner promised a piecemeal process, if anything, and has said passing even smaller-scale legislation could be difficult given distrust of the president within the Republican conference. Despite releasing principles for reform in January, there have been no votes on immigration legislation since then.
Pelosi said she believes the bill would pass if Boehner allowed a vote.
“Let’s have a debate,” she said. “We think the votes are there. We’re absolutely certain that they’re there.”

Everything under the sun is racist! Liberal Communists are the most racist of all.
She makes idiots look smart .
Different if they could vote democrat?
I can’t believe the people of Calif. keep voting the woman into office..
She might be right. The Irish have a strong work ethic. Illegal aliens are only interested in collecting benefits without working for them. Something for nothing, the perfect demoncrap voter.
I think the Democrats and Pelosi believe everyone may be mad now but by November they will get the pass like they always have. Nancy not this time, we are fed up with all of you. we are sick and tired of the lies the out of control spending. The Royal vacations that are costing the taxpayers their lungs. The c**p health care plan that is being shoved down our throats by you lying Progressives, that is not saving us a dime but costing us twice if not three times what we were paying. Nancy I’m a man in his sixties I DON’T NEED MATERNITY COVERAGE. Or coverage for breast exams. My wife has her own coverage, and covering her for her prostate make about as much sense as what I’m covered for. Nancy we are fed up with the Modern Democratic Party, because your platform sucks the big one. You been in Congress way too long and you need to go and sit on a porch in a rocking chair and wait for the grim reaper to pay you a visit. Nancy with all do respect do us all a favor and RETIRE before your voted out of office.
3 Liberal Karma’s 1. Race card 2. Blame Bush 3. blame conservatives.
always the race card!! same old song over and over
CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT THEY WILL GIVE AWAY FOR A VOTE, THEIR OWN COUNTRY. REAL PIECES OF $#%&!@*
like the “boy called wolf”… the over use and abused of the word by the left may lose its meaning and repulsiveness. it would be so unfortunate when no one will believe anymore when actual racism happens like the time of Hitler’s Nazis, just because of demagogues Pelosi, Reid, Obozo, Al Sharpton, MSNBC, CBS, and ABC stupidy to dominate US politics by creating division and hate amongst ourselves instead of bringing us all together as one nation!
