This false politeness they've got going is just sickeningly obnoxious and un-American.

Considering that he lied so blatantly about the Democrats' record on border security, why are you giving him the benefit of the doubt when he says that he didn't apologize?

Because there's no evidence he did? Because he certainly doesn't seem like the type to? Because he's gotten no bad publicity from this? Because Pelosi went into a childish rant trying to prove how superior she apparently is?

No, not really. But if you don't have a real response then please don't respond at all.


A response to what? An inaccurate and irrelevant comment regarding both my mood and my motivations for this supposed mood? What response would have been more appropriate than dismissal?

Yes there is. There is the fact that she accepted an apology. He's a proven liar, so there's literally no reason to believe him.
So it just goes back to either you believe him because he's a man, or because he's a Republican...
In your case, I'm leaning towards "he's a Republican" as the more likely reason.

A politician speaking ill of others is not surprising. What was surprising was that there was an actual reaction this time, Pelosi running around the House floor trying to poke Marino's eyes out with her toothpick fingers. :blink:

Also, Geilinor, I believe the saying is "the wicked bitch of the West."
Humans are monsters, we will never change, we will always want to claw out the throats of those with a difference in opinion, we will never be in an age of peace because of our lust for war, poverty will continue to exist as long as monetary needs exist. We rape, enslave, and conquer with no regards to others. We live by the sword, and we will, justifiably, die by the sword.

Hope is for unrealistic idealists. Pessimism is your friend.

What evidence would you accept? At this point it's a he said-she said, and he has a more recent record of blatantly lying in order to advance a political agenda and demean the opposition.

That a buildup of military style forces is meant to make potential illegal immigrants think that they're going to be shot.

Something makes me doubt that it's especially common among conservatives. Maybe because it's only been a small portion of the conservative body that has referred to her like that.

There's no evidence that he blatantly lied about the Democrats? That's what Pelosi was confronting him on, and she was right on matters of fact even if you find her manner of approaching him to be laughable. He lies. He had just lied. He had just lied in order to make the other side look bad, and to score cheap points.

There's also no evidence that he didn't apologize, so it comes down to who you trust more, and I'm going to go with the person who didn't just lie directly to the American people on the House floor.
