Nobody's Gonna Walk All Over The Democrats Again

In a meeting with a small group of reporters in her office Thursday morning, [Nancy Pelosi] said the dynamics of the debt limit fight -- where Democrats were forced to accept deep cuts to government programs on the threat of default -- will not happen again.

"Suffice to say that you won't see a repetition of what happened last week, taking us to the last minute when they didn't even have the votes -- they didn't even have the votes -- and then saying to us 'You will be responsible for a default."

Apparently the Dems are going to get on board with the GOP agenda from the outset now.

"I would say that if I were to tell you...it would be defanged," she said, after being pressed for details. "In terms of what we -- how we would approach where they go from here. And that may be a House Democratic position.... Our members were very unhappy about that vote the other day. Very unhappy."

Ooooh, look out. Unhappy members.

Their plan is so secret they’d have to kill you if they told you what it is.

"Expect us to be more visible in terms of what we say here and how we mobilize our side to make sure the Republicans know the risk of taking us to the brink," she added, when asked to provide more details.

Yeah, it's not just the GOP; we’re all getting a good laugh out of that remark.

And it’s not going to be long before she has to eat it.
