After Calling Health Insurance Companies “Villains”, Pelosi Decides She’ll Keep Their Money

Proof • August 1, 2009

Yesterday Nancy Pelosi announced that private insurance companies were “villains” and “immoral” because they wouldn’t get behind her plans for a government take-over of the health care industry. Today comes news that Speaker Pelosi will be keeping the campaign contributions made by said villainous and immoral companies.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called health insurers “the villains” in the unfolding story of the health care overhaul on Thursday, ratcheting up an anti-insurer theme trotted out by President Obama earlier this month and encouraged by other Democratic leaders in Congress.
“It is somewhat immoral what they are doing. Of course, they have been immoral all along how they have treated the people that they insure,” MSNBC’s Luke Russert quoted her as saying. “They are the villains in this.”
Pelosi, of course, has accepted campaign contributions from said villains this year and in the past, as have most of her Democratic colleagues. Pelosi’s campaign committee, for example, took $2,500 from AFLAC’s political action committee on April 13. But she’s not giving the money back just because she thinks the sources are immoral and villainous.
“As the Speaker’s opposition to the health insurance companies being in charge of American’s health care shows, there is no link between political contributions and positions on policy,” said her spokesman Brendan Daly.
Besides, a quick look at her records suggests that health insurers make up a fraction of the money she accepts from the broader insurance industry and place her fairly low on the list of recipients — particularly given her longtime spot atop the Democratic Party — according to a study released earlier this year by the Center for Responsive Politics.

I guess Speaker Nancy Pants doesn’t mind taking money from villains.

I guess that’s absolute proof that they are indeed immoral and villains, if they choose to support the likes of her.

All that botox has numbed her tiny little democrat brain

Speaking of dishonest – How about Queen Pelosi pushing to exempt Guam from the minimum wage laws because of her husband’s canning company located there?

Lo, the stench of scorching tar wafting through the air…..

Musty feathers float on the breeze amidst the boisterous voices of the strong……

Returning to their rightful glory by virtue of the strength they found to retrieve the Nation from the claws of the insolent Marxists…….

The Citizen has risen to the occasion….

Torches divest the evening darkness of its ability to hide the guilty….

The clank of pitchfork, hoe, and machete…..

The fearful screeches of the cornered “Elites” fall on deaf ears of the truly offended……….

Ragged cries for mercy fill the distance as another who had forgotten his place is reminded of his obligations to his Constitutional Master…..

The Citizen……

Madam Pelosi….. YOU ARE THE VILLAIN!

Lay off the Xanax, Nan…..

So, according to the libs, everything American is villainous…..

let’s review the checklist created by these Marxists:
- Banks
- Big companies
- Rich People
- The military
- Veterans
- Conservatives
- Doctors
- Republicans
- Christians
- Insurance companies
- The home construction industry
- etc, etc, etc, etc,…………

ENOUGH!

And this is why I am disgusted with 99% of politicians on BOTH sides.

Do as I say, not as I do is quite popular in American politics.

If you say something is immoral, then give their money back because it is tainted.

If you run on family values, actually have some and practice them.

The reason I can respect both Ron Paul and Dennis Kuchinich(sp?), even though I disagree with most of what each say, is that they are consistent. They actually DO what they SAY.

One where you pay a premium and you can go see the doc, get Xrays, ct scan, go to the lab for blod tests, go to the ER, pay your $100.000 horpital stay bill etc?
Please link to their website where they offer conventional “health insurance”

I suppose if someone wasn’t ever to actually shop around for affordable coverage, they may not know what’s out there. A national “exchange” for health insurance would be helpful, but it would still require individuals to do their part of comparing policies and prices. But wouldn’t it just be “easier” to write a fat check to the government and let them decide what’s best for you? Who better to know your individual medical needs than a group of bureaucrats trying to micro-manage 300 Million people?
