Code Pink Moonbats Angry With Pelosi; She Has Them Arrested
Looks like a catfight may be brewing between Pelosi and Code Pink:
Four members of the anti-war group Code Pink were arrested outside the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) Thursday afternoon, following an announcement that they would seek to take over the office.
The group’s members had planned to hold a symbolic “Pin the war on the Donkey” demonstration at Pelosi’s office to show their frustration with the Democratic leadership’s inaction on ending the war in Iraq.
However, Capitol Police prevented the taping of a drawn donkey to the wall.
Code Pink members were crying outside Pelosi’s office. When asked why, Rae Abileah, 24, said she was crying out of “outrage that this is all we can get from the Democrats,” referring to the Iraq supplemental funding bill, scheduled for a vote Friday.
“We’re just heartbroken that Nancy Pelosi has decided to keep funding George Bush’s war, and now the war belongs to the Democrats as well as the Republicans,” said Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin. “We thought we were going to get a change when they came into power.”
I thought the Democrats had this "mandate by the people" to stop the "illegitimate" war? They control the congress. Why can't they get this done? Answer: because this is NOT want the American people really want. The American people are NOT calling for a cut-and-run strategy from congress. The Democrats are politicians and want to get re-elected. They know that cut-and-run would be a disaster -- one that could be easily laid back at their feet politically, and they don't want this. Only their ultra left-wing like Code Pink want this strategy, and their aren't enough of them to keep the Dems in power in a general election (congressional or presidential.) So Pelosi and her followers are trying to "ride the fence" on this issue; trying to call cut-and-run by any name possible to get it past the American people, but the people aren't buying it. So they don't try cut-and-run and thier base comes after them. I love it! This is what happens when you base your parties support on a small band of people who are on the opposite side of America's success and safety. I just love it!
