House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, when asked Tuesday whether Democrats bear some of the responsibility regarding the current crisis on Wall Street, had a one-word answer: "No."
Pelosi (D-Calif.) ripped President Bush's "mismanagement" of the economy and a lack of regulation that led to the current situation.

"I think the American people have had it with this situation where the middle-income people in our country are not protected from the ramifications of the risk-taking and the greed of these financial institutions," Pelosi told MSNBC.

When asked whether the Democrats "deserve some responsibility" regarding the economic crisis, Pelosi responded: "No."

"John McCain said that this is a result of overregulation by the Democrats in Congress," she added. "Either he doesn't know what he's talking about or he's misrepresenting the facts as he knows them. But it's simply not true."

Republicans responded quickly, pointing out that a Congress led by Democrats had not helped the economy.

"The Pelosi-Obama Congress has failed to pass an all-of-the-above energy plan, failed to stop earmarks, and failed to break the partisan gridlock that plagues Washington," RNC spokesman Alex Conant said. "If Pelosi thinks the Democratic Congress is doing a good job handling the economy now, then just imagine how bad our economy would be if Democrats controlled the White House, too."

 rofl  Skunk ......  Pig

Near perfect replacements for the donkey & elephant.  A third party candidate like Ross Perot could be  the porcupine.

What representations can we come up with that are devoid of noble characteristics?

The Maggot & the Cockroach ?    heh

That's because she is repulsive besides being a politician,

They misled the people who wanted change to get in, then just went protecting the criminals in charge.  They are all swine. 

Sorry, pigs, nothing against you - just a figure of speech.  Does that make me an apologist? hmm
