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.”

they can come here legal or they need to stay in there own country
What race is she? What race is she talking about? If she is referring to the Mexican race, there isn’t any such thing. Being Mexican is a nationality not a race. Mexican like like American is a nationality made up of all races.
ILLEGAL IS ILLEGAL – NO MATTER WHAT COUNTRY THEY COME FROM!
Why does she use the race card??? She is white and ignorant
wht do you expect from that slime?
Only Racist here is Nancy and the King
Figure out another way to get rid of her, she’d be a waste of a good bullet!
Race has NOTHING to do with it. It’s all about enforcing the laws of the United States of AMERICA that are on the books as written ! ! !
In the United States, we should have the Freedom of Speech, the Freedom of Religion, and the Right to own a gun.
Barrack Obama, Joe Biden, John Kerry, and Eric Holder should be fired today. Nancy Pelosi is a liar.
Practically every thing our Senate, House, Judicial System, and Obama have done since 2008 is wrong and evil and hurts each citizen of the United States.
Obama and Biden should be charges with War Crimes for the stupid War on Terror and for their interference in Syria. They should all be fired, today.
Our War on Terror and Obamacare are both wrong and stupid.
Our President loves Muslims and Terrorists. In Muslim nations womeen and children have no Human Rights or Freedoms.
Why did we give money and weapons to Iran and Egypt and the Drug Cartels? Why wasn’t Eric Holder fired for his lies?
Why are we supporting, financing and training Terrorists.
Why are we still committing War Crimes in Africa and the Middle East and wasting trillions of dollars to give the Terrorists the Media coverage, death and destruction they want?
Is every one in our Senate and House in Washington, DC an idiot?
It is not that we want isolationism, we want the parasites like Mitch McConnel, Nancy Pelosi, Boehner, Holder, Obama, Biden, Kerry, and the guys of our Admininstration, our current Senate, and our current House who want to change our Constitution to take away our basic Human Rights and Freedoms we should have from Birth because we are Free that are only documented in our Bill of Rights and given to us by our Creator because we are free men and women and not given to us by our rich, fat cat, useless paper pushers in Washington, DC. Obama and Biden love Gun Control and War more than Adolf Hitler ever did.
If those same parasites want to rewrite our Constitution they should feel free to rewrite any ammendments beginning at ammenent 11 as long as they do not attempt to take any of our Human Rights and Freedoms documented in the First 10 Amemdments to our Constitution.
The heads of every Federal Agency in the Untied States should be fired. Our EPA, IRS, and NSA are horribly corrupt and every one knows it.
The IRS should be completely shut down after working with Obama and Eric Holder, since 2008 the IRS has not been known for anything but corruption.
The NSA and CIA are for investigating. That should be their only function. The EPA is getting to be every bit as horrible and corrupt. The EPA enacted regulations that almost Ban Wood Stoves. Citizens in the United States are going to did because of the EPA’s new regulations. The EPA, like the IRS, NSA, and CIA sould only investigate. They have too much power. After working with Obama and Eric Holder the IRS is too corrupt to function. Any information they receive should be turned over to the intelligence agencies of the military branches or Interpol. The NSA and CIA should be stripped of any other power. They have proved they can not respect soverign borders, law, or human life.
Obama’s new and improved and unconstitutional Patriot Act, the NDAA, and the Cyber Security Bill should be repealed and burned.
Obama’s new and improved and unconstitutional Patriot Act, the NDAA, Obamacare, and the Cyber Security Bill were written to give the NSA and the other agencies inside the United States the same horrible power the NSA, CIA, and other agencies of the Untied States abuse all over the world with no respect for Human Rights, Civil Rights, law, soverign borders, or human life. If the NDAA was written to protect the Citizens of the United States they would have used it against the Boston Bomber, the other Terrorists we have had since 911, and against the Terrorists playing the Knock Out Game, whether they are black, white, or of another race. Lock them away for fifteen years using the NDAA, then review each case individually, using the NDAA as a guideline. Our Senators, our Representatives, and Obama wanted the NDAA, use it to protect Americans from Terrorists.
Elections are coming for our current Senators and Representatives.
They do not understand we have the Human Rights and Freedoms documented in the Bill of Rights because we are Free Men and Women.
They are documented there so the rich good for nothing parasites in Washington, DC do not forget we have them. They have forgotten anyway.
They only listen to the Lobbyists they accecpt huge ammounts of money and favors from.
Vote all the bums out. If they are in office today they should be fired.
They have not done their jobs or kept their Oath of Office.
They are as guilty as Obama for our War Crimes and murders of civilians in Libya, Pakistan, Yemen, Syria, and Somilia.
They are responsible for our War on Terror and they almost had us bombing Syria based on the lies of Obama, our NSA, and our CIA.
They are also just as guilty as Obama and Biden for the deaths and destruction caused in Syria for our illegally interfering in the Civil War in Syria and for aiding the Al Qaeda and other Terrorists who have been involved in the Civil War in Syria. How can it be any of our buisness what is going on there? Syria is not a state of the United States and we are not the world police.
We should not be supporting, supplying, and training the Al Qaeda. What makes Obama’s Terrorist any different than any other Terrorist?
Vote all the rich good for nothing parasties of our Senate and House out, they have not kept their Oath of Office and they have not fired Obama and Eric Holder. Our Fire Fighters, Police, and our Military can keep their Oath of Office, why do our elected and appointed officials in Washington, DC refuse to keep their Oath of Office?
The United States, George Soros, and the Endowment for Democracy funded the violence in Crimea.
Vote them out, they have not fired Obama and Holder. They believed the lies of Susan Rice, Barrack Obama, Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton, and our Media.
No Incumbents.
Dumb and dumbmer, she is the worst needs to go home or out of the country.
