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.”

Is she dumb or stupid ?? I wish she would stick to the issues!!
All liberals play the race card. Do they forget, that it was the DEMOCRATS who supported slavery?
why is she even getting press-time, when everything that comes out of her mouth sounds like so much blah blah blah
Fascinating that ALL White, Democrat, liberal, progressive, communist BELIEVE that all OTHER Whites are racists. Or is THAT just a pathetic tactic?
Pathetic is it, they use race because they can’t use the facts. Words are cheap. Actions speak a lot louder. They have to use something, Right?
I am so $#%&!@*in tired of your racism excuses. How about you people are corrupt and no one is buying into your lunacy except like minds. STFU idiot!
Naw ain’t racism, Just don’t like criminal Ugly Old women
Funny today Racist! Tomorrow Sexist, and they want all women back in the kitchen!! Watch!! They will be saying that gearing up for Killary for 2016! They all have mental disorders!! PATHETIC!
She lost it a long time ago. Enforce the current laws as they are written, The only reason the lib-communists want new immigration laws so they don`t have to continue committing fraud during an election, by having illegals voting……….
Idiot !
Between her, Ried, and Feinstein I’m starting to agree with what’s said about democrats and mental illness.
