Title: Nancy Pelosi - "Pay Cut Would Take Our Dignity"
Post by: Ben on February 15, 2013, 07:24:47 PM
Nancy Pelosi says there should be no pay cut for lawmakers because it would take away the dignity of the position.

Just what "dignity" is Pelosi talking about?

YOUR dignity matters not.

Our betters, on the other hand, well . . . they've worked really really hard to earn their nobility and titles, and THEIR dignity is important.

I'd be more than willing to send her a load of fresh pig manure in lieu of pay. I'm thinking that would better suit her true position.

Not familiar with that character.  Is the eye tick a prelude to the little bugger ripping out someone's throat and wallowing in their blood?   Not that that is how I feel after reading Pelosi's statement.  No, not at all.

She needs to be judged on results and how those results are achieved.  I feel sure that there are many people in CA that would be prepared to take her place if her dignity is injured.

I would think you need to have dignity before it's taken from you...

A paycut doesn't mean that much to her????  Then wouldn't she be on board with something like this?
Heavens forbid she tighten her belt and suck it up.

Polititians have way too many illisions of dignity.

Solution: all polititians should be required to be pied when running for election.
In fact, they can set up a booth and get pied for every donation to their campaign.

I'll donate a pie to that!

I wonder if food companies would donate pies instead of cash for those campaigns... and would they be tax deductible?

Wouldn't they run out of pies at some point?   [popcorn]

Oh, I wouldn't call her a "compost heap".  She has far less value than one of those.

Wasn't referring to her as a compost heap. Lol
