So, Nancy, GOP’s Israel policy is about “tax cuts for the wealthy”?

by

In their campaign focused on attacking Mitt Romney’s personal life that he’s a rich guy who, in high school, was a bully who cut some guy’s hair, then, as a young father, put the dog on the car roof as the family motored away on its summer vacation, Democrats do occasionally hit on some policy issues, and often in the oddest contexts.

Even (especially?) in those contexts, they do seem to dwell on one issue in particular, that Republican economic policy is little more than cutting the taxes of wealthy Americans  (while ignoring the “middle class”).

As I was quickly scanning the blogs this afternoon, I caught Scott Johnson’s report on House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s interview with Bloomberg’s Albert Hunt and found the top House Democrat doing just that.  When Hunt asked Mrs. Pelosi whether she thought Barack Obama “do as well with the Jewish vote this time as he did last time”, she suggested that Republican support for Israel really wasn’t about Israel:

But I – I think that he will. I think that he will, because the fact is when the facts get out. You know, as many of the Republicans are using Israel as an excuse, what they really want are tax cuts for the wealthy. So Israel, that can be one reason they put forth.

. . . .

Well, that’s how they’re being exploited . . . .

Huh?  A real, “accountable”, reported would have asked her how she made that leap.   Or would have pressed her on this claim of “exploitation.”  What a narrow world view she has.

Why do top Democrats refuse to address Republican policies on the merits and always bring it back to “tax cuts for the wealthy”?

FROM THE COMMENTS:  AndyN posits that “if you trace this ‘reasoning’ back to its source, isn’t she saying that advocating for tax increases on the rich means you don’t support Israel?” Indeed!

  2. V the K, yes it was uncivil. It’s about time someone was uncivil to that harpie and her 13yo mentality. BTW, Bitch is a very sweet term to use in describing Nancy P. Air head whining self important overly indulged privileged princess of excess wealth (anyone wanna talk about VISA?), 1 percenter emaciated vulture is much more considerate description.

  3. I have detested Al Hunt for decades. I remember watching him on _The Capital Gang_ on CNN back when I was first becoming a politically aware teen. It was him, Mark Shields, and Margaret Carlson “gang”-ing up on Robert Novak and/or Mona Charen, but Novak and Charen always managed to equal, if not outmatch, those three opposing panelists in introspection and just plain logic, and managed to do it without resorting to personal attacks/insults (Hunt’s forte) and shouting (Shields’). Little wonder CNN kept cancelling shows like Capital Gang, Crossfire, etc. because they actually gave conservatives a chance to shoot holes in liberals’ assertions on live TV.

    Anyway, Nancy really can’t be bothered to string her talking points together with rational thought. And as long as she only talks to partisan hacks like Al Hunt, she needn’t try.

  5. Jews have been exploited by the Dems since FDR.
    Thank you Romney for going to Israel, Obama just signed a $70 million defense package for Israel. Most of the money will stay here, with American companies supplying Israel.

  6. They cannot address policy, period. These are people who insist that Reagan caused an economic disaster for the USA and the rest of the world. They think that if we don’t want to pay for someone else’s contraception, we hate women. They want the state to run everything. They think that THIS time socialism will work. They cannot debate policy, they can only attack persons.

  7. Somebody please correct me if I’m misreading this. All Jews are greedy and care about money above everything else, so saying you support Israel must be a dog whistle for wanting to let the greedy Jews keep more of their money? Is there any other plausible explanation for her leap in “logic” than the obvious likelihood that Pelosi is projecting her flaming anti-Semitism? Funny that once again only the leftists can hear the Republican dog whistles. And if you trace this “reasoning” back to its source, isn’t she saying that advocating for tax increases on the rich means you don’t support Israel?

  10. I’m still waiting for someone to ask “Stretch” Pelosi about the millions she made off the poor non union illegals she had working her Kalyfornia vineyards all those years.

  12. After having said that you have to vote for it before you read it, how can anybody take Ms Pelosi seriously. The California delegation has some real winners besides Nancy; Maxine, ¨the Mouth¨Waters, and the Sanchez sisters. I wishI could remember the name of the Florida Congresswoman, an African American who wears cowboy style hats. The one who said of Zimmerman, that ¨he hunted Treyvan Martin down like a dawg and killed him.¨ She should get an honorary membership in the California club. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, should get the talking points of the year award. Maybe she´s trying to beat out Nancy as Speaker while hoping the Dems take back the House.

  14. Roberto, I refer to the Sanchez sisters as the Duras sisters, but not everyone gets that reference.

    California Congresswoman Laura Richardson skipped out on her mortgage, but it’s OK because she’s a Democrat.

    California’s male congresstwits aren’t much better. Insane, corrupt atheist Fortney Stark claimed on the House floor that GWB enjoyed watching our soldiers’ heads get blown off “for his pleasure.” And then there’s Henry “Nostrilitus” Waxman, who I am not convinced is actually human.

  15. Nancy Pelosi is losing it. With Barack Obama, the Democrat Party is imploding as their Communism they have kept hidden comes out as the mask shatters into dust.

  19. V the K

    You´re probably right Henry Waxman isn´t human. From all the years he´s been in Congress, I´ve had a feeling he was there first and then the Capitol Building was constructed around him. Las hermanas Duras are appropriately named.

    Mary

    If she is the one that has a cowboy style hat of every color to match her outfits. she´s the one, ¨the dawg.¨

  20. #1: “Bitch is deranged from Botox poisoning. Oh, I’m sorry, was that uncivil?”

    Yes, V the K, your comment WAS uncivil and totally uncalled for. Personally, I think you owe a huge apology……to Botox. It’s not poison, but rather, a safe and effective cosmetic drug whose results some people (not me, of course–I’ve overheard people) consider miraculous and an absolute necessity every 6-9 months. So, please, let’s try to tone down the negative, insulting rhetoric about Botox.

    As for Pelosi, that bitch is deranged from too much bargain-basement, Tijuana-grade, rusty-scalpel face-work and the hit-or-miss veterinary anesthesia that comes with it. Botox is NOT responsible for that perpetually-surprised mess.
