Nancy Pelosi Quotes
First Woman
 Speaker Of the House




2004 Election

The Republicans did not have an election about jobs, health care,
education, environment, national security. They had an election about
wedge issues in out country. They exploited the loveliness of the American
people, the devoutness of people of faith for a political end.
Democrats are going to ban the Bible if they are elected. Imagine the
ridiculousness of that, if it won votes for them.
Nancy Pelosi,House Minority Leader

America

America must be a light to the world, not just a missile.

Bankruptcy Bill

“This bankruptcy bill seeks to squeeze even more money for credit card companies 
from the most hard-pressed Americans. It would bind hardworking and honest 
Americans to credit card companies and other lenders as modern-day indentured 
servants. It is our duty to speak up for those who will be hurt by this bill. 
And this duty is paramount because we have been shut out of the legislative 
process to bring any amendments to the floor. 
Nancy Pelosi

Civil Liberties

America will be far safer if we reduce the chances of a terrorist
attack in one of our cities than if we diminish the civil liberties of our own people.

workers.

Tom Delay

"Tom DeLay proved this morning that he is not only unethical, but
delusional.
No amount of mud slinging can hide the fact that Mr. DeLay has
repeatedly abused his power. Over the years, this has resulted in four
rebukes by the Ethics Committee -- including two rebukes last month
that were a direct result of Congressman Chris Bell's complaint. Mr.
DeLay has insisted that these charges are merely partisan attacks, but
the bipartisan Ethics Committee's unanimous conclusions have put that
lie to rest.
"Mr. DeLay's display today and his repeated ethical lapses have brought
dishonor on the House of Representatives."

GI Bill of Rights for the 21st Century

"Every American is indebted to our troops for their bravery, their patriotism, 
and the sacrifice they are willing to make for our country. Just as our soldiers 
pledge to leave no one behind on the battlefield, we must leave no veteran 
behind once they come home."
Nancy Pelosi

"They'll take food out of the mouths of children in order to 
give tax cuts to the wealthiest."

Homeland Security




We must remain focused on the greatest threat to the security of the
United States, the clear and present danger of terrorism. We know what 
we must do to protect America, but this Administration is failing to
meet the challenge. Democrats have a better way to ensure our homeland
security. 
Nancy Pelosi

"Protecting America from terrorism requires more than just resolve, 
it requires a plan. As we have seen in Iraq, planning is not the 
Bush Administration's strong suit.

Hurricane Katrina

"There were two disasters last week: first, the natural disaster,
and second, the man-made disaster, the disaster made by mistakes 
made by FEMA,"

Invading Iran

Pelosi, D-Calif., noted that Bush consistently said he supports a 
diplomatic resolution to differences with Iran "and I take him at his word."
At the same time, she said, "I do believe that Congress should assert 
itself, though, and make it very clear that there is no previous authority 
for the president, any president, to go into Iran."

Iraq

I have absolutely no regret about my vote against this war. The same
questions remain. The cost in human lives, the cost to our budget,
probably 100 billion. We could have probably brought down that statue
for a lot less. 
Nancy Pelosi

The president led us into the Iraq war on the basis of unproven
assertions without evidence; he embraced a radical doctrine of
pre-emptive war unprecedented in our history; and he failed to build a
true international coalition.

Karl Rove

"Karl Rove has moved to center stage in the theater of the 
absurd. Our entire country came together after the 9/11 
terrorist attacks. His shameful comments trying to revise 
history insult the victims of 9/11 and all of us who support 
them. President Bush must repudiate these remarks.
For Karl Rove and his Republican allies to try to exploit 9/11 
for political purposes -- once again -- just shows you how 
desperate Republicans are to change the subject to distract 
Americans from their failures."
Nancy Pelosi

Middle Class and the GOP

“It’s important to note that the Republicans have finally felt the heat 
of doing something about the payroll-tax cut. They have resisted it 
for a while and now they see it has to pass. But the constraints that 
they place on it have a dampening effect. I don’t know what the 
middle class ever did to the Republicans that they’re so out to get them. 
But whether it’s job creation, economic growth, the tax code and the 
rest — the deck is getting stacked against the middle class.” 
While I point out the inconsistency of the Republicans saying tax cuts 
for the rich don’t have to be offset but tax cuts for the middle class do, 
we would be interested in talking about a proposal that offsets 
that spending, that tax cut for the middle class. I don’t think it’s fair, 
but we need to have the tax cut for the middle class. But that would not 
include firing 200,000 people.”

Roe vs. Wade

"Roe vs. Wade is based on a woman's fundamental right to privacy, a 
value that all Americans cherish. It established that decisions 
about whether to have a child do not and should not rest with the 
government. A woman -- in consultation with her family, her physician, 
and her faith -- is best qualified to make that decision."

Social Securityy

Social Security does face problems down the road, and we need to 
solve them, But we have the time to do it right. ... Social 
Security is an insurance program, not an investment program.
We want to create a drumbeat across America to strengthen 
Social Security, We will not be a part of any effort to steal 
money from this system.
