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 should have her give a public speech and have everybody in the audience have a third shoe just to make sure they dont all miss like the woman that mssed hillary clinton. The bad part is that woman will probably be charged with assault while hillary clinton basically put out a hit on an american ambassador and wont be charged with anything the murderess.

Does ANYONE care about ANYTHING this fruit cake says??????????
When any Dumbocrat feels pressure from those with brains, their only option is to yell RACIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry Pelosi, but we have already read that one and we are not going to let you pass it to read again now are we? We may never recover from the last bill this wannabe forced through to see what was in it so forget it. Immigrants are not illegals and illegals are not immigrants, plain and simple. If people stowaway on a ship or illegally hop a train do they get to anywhere they want because they successfully stole their way onto the ship or train? No, and do we call them passengers and treat them as such? No, they are illegally on the ship or train and quickly removed, subjected to the consequences as outlined by the laws, and then not permitted on the train or ship again until they have a ticket. Well illegals are stowaways and should not get the free ticket or free travel anywhere they want especially when so many do buy tickets legally, and do follow the law and thus have the rights to travel and be on the train or ship. If you enter the country legally you have the right to stay and be helped, but if you don’t well you are like the stowaway and are not entitled to stay and benefit as those who obey the laws of this land. Pelosi’s amnesty bill rewards illegals as citizens and punishes citizens like illegals. Well that’s like penalizing the passengers by making them give up their seats and meals for the stowaways. Not fare, not right, not just, plain and simply not the right thing to do on so many levels.
