Pelosi: "I want the Republican Party to take back the party to when you cared about a woman's right

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

to choose".

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called for the Republican Party to participate in climate change and make it a bipartisan issue while speaking at the opening session of the Aspen Ideas Climate Conference in Miami.

Pelosi wanted the party to go back to its roots and back to the time when it cared for women’s rights and also the environment among other great things. She wondered how no one in the senate cared about the climate and the impact of fossil fuels on it. She claimed that though some members care about it they back out when it is time to vote.

“Here I am Nancy Pelosi saying this country needs a strong Republican Party and we do; not a cult, but a strong Republican Party,” she said.

Pelosi has always voiced her voiced concerns regarding women’s rights. While talking about the leaked draft of the Supreme Court Roe v Wade decision she criticized the opinion on overturning the 1973 landmark decision and said that it was an assault on women and a lack of respect for them and their judgment.

1. when did they ever care

about anyone other than themselves

[Thomas Hurt]

2. When was that exactly...

[temporary311]

3. We may need a conservative party,

but we don't need a Republican Party. This is my issue with older leadership in the Democratic Party; they're old enough to remember pre-Nixon Republicans and seem to think the party can return to that. I don't know if they can or not, but I'd bet a dollar that they won't.

The best thing for the country would be for the Republican party to implode. Following that, the Rockefeller republicans and other sane-ish conservatives that have migrated to the Democrats over the last 40 year should form a new conservative party, and fight like hell to keep the evangelicals out of it.

5. Excuse me??!! It wasn't the Older Party members who omitted the SC & threat of Roe in 2016...

We fought like hell to give every generation after us Reproductive Rights.
WE were aware. WE showed up.

WE handed that sacred torch to the next gen to protect & after 50 years of protecting those sacred rights, WHO THE FK DIDN'T SHOW UP.
Who didn't even mention the word.


"older leadership in the Democratic Party; they're old enough to remember pre-Nixon Republicans and seem to think the party can return to that.."

Instead of Knowing what was at stake, they ran in the other direction foolishly chasing a promise of free shit for themselves
Excuse me if my faith in the capability of wisdom for our future was lost as the new cooler crowd showed up.

Geez. THIS from the crowd that screeched "Burn it all down" as the joined in the year long 24/7 tribal dance of mockery & debasing of that one Woman who tried to fking tell you.
And in pure cult mockery, pissed all over that torch of Reproductive Rights that generations of OLDER ones fought to give the women & girls of the future.

You cared so little for those generations who would follow you.
And have the damned gall to even mention 'older leadership in the Democratic Party', in the same derrogatory way you spoke about thst 1 Woman who fking warned y'all.

Apologize.

4. I remember when the Republican party PRETENDED to care about a woman's right to choose.

The split second that it became advantageous to be anti-abortion for money and power was when that ended.

[Meowmee]

6. I doubt they ever cared

The ones who did are not republicans anymore. So Nancy, don't hold your breath, lol.

[Carlitos Brigante]

7. Oh FFS!! There is no party to take back. Most of this fanaticism came from

Nixon and Reagan. Reagan on the pro-birth front. Nixon on the new confederacy.

[aocommunalpunch]

8. That's fucking nice.

Stop with this nonsense, please. She’s either hopelessly naive or lying. There is no party to take back.

[peacefreak2.0]

9. In fairness, you would have to go back to

Betty Ford’s support for the ERA.

[leftstreet]

10. That must be what she meant

yep pretty sure

[BlueCheeseAgain]

11. I see what she means...

Democracies generally need more than one strong party, and in the last couple of decades the GOP has gone cuckoo-for-cocoa-puffs crazy.

I miss GOP leaders like George H.W. Bush and John McCain. I could always disagree with them on some policies, but I never doubted their adherence to bedrock American principles of democracy.
