Freshman Rep. West: Nancy Pelosi ‘somewhat delusional’
Allen West, a freshman member of the Republican Study Committee, called former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) “somewhat delusional” Thursday evening during an interview on Fox News in response to a question from Fox’s Patti Ann Browne.
“You heard Nancy Pelosi saying, look, if it’s good for the country, basically, who cares how we got there?” Browne said. When asked for his response, West didn’t hold back.
“Well, I think that former Speaker Pelosi is somewhat delusional, but also you have to remember that this was the person that said that we have to pass this bill in order to find out what is in this bill,” West said from the Capitol Rotunda.
“There has been a deception against the American people from the onset … the president said that this was not a tax. Now we know it is only constitutional because it is seen as a tax.”
Earlier in the day, after the Supreme Court found the healthcare reform law to be constitutional as a tax, Pelosi, now House minority leader said to reporters “Call it what you will, it is a step forward for America’s families, and you know what? Take yes for an answer.”
West was unimpressed.
“The federal government can say, based upon their own ideological agenda of healthcare, that the American individual citizen must purchase a private sector commodity, and if they don’t they will be taxed.
“If I were to go out and say that every person in the United States of America needs to go out and buy a 9 millimeter Glock or else they will be taxed, I wonder how people such as Nancy Pelosi on the other side of the aisle would react to that.”

Does it have to be a 9mm Glock, of all things, why doesn’t my 1911 qualify?

I’d love a Glock, but will have to settle for my Keltec instead. I salute you, Colonel West. You are a true patriot! And thank you for your service!

Allen West is being generous, Nancy Pelosi is not just delusional, she’s nucking futs. And batshit crazy, crazy as a loon and every other description of someone who needs for the men in white coats to come and take her away to the happy home. They’re coming to take her away, Ha, Ha, Ho, Ho to the funny farm… And she hasn’t even seen any invisible rabbits that we know of. Must be something in the air of San Fran Freako.

I don’t think she’s delusional, I think the back off her brain has been flattened from multiple face lifts, so she’s really *bat shit crazy*………yep your right Efficacy……..

Bless you old oaks, the creations of John Moses Browning surpass the plastic pistol.
Break…
Pelosi has demonstrated behavior that goes far beyond the pale. She has to be ‘user friendly’ for the ones that keep her in office because she doesn’t have the sense God gave a house fly.
Have you guys actually heard, I mean, really listened to the absolute bullshit that comes out of her mouth? In the words of some friends who do clinical intake, I do not believe this woman is oriented X 3.

I think she has true, clinical dementia of some type. The Botox IV drip cannot have helped.

Yeah, and Octomom was somewhat pregnant. You are being too nice, Mr West.
P.S. I hope your joking about the Glock. I just purchased a Ruger SR 40.

Sorry, Bela Pelosi is neither delusional nor bat-shit crazy. She knows exactly what she is saying and who she is saying it to.
First and foremost, she wants to stay in power.
She represents guilt-ravaged whites and gubmint cheese dependent blacks,. So in order to stay in power, you feed your sheeple what they want – more gubmint cheese.
She only sounds bat shit crazy to those who don’t want to eat, let alone fund, the gubmint cheese.

Again, Colonel West is a brilliant man and a great speaker. He speaks Truth to Democrat Fascist Idiocy.
I’ll bet after hearing Colonel West’s analogy, EX-Speaker Pelosi’s leather dominatrix panties got twisted into a wad.

I picked up a nice little Bersa 380 in January for ccw. Its the same design as a Walther pp. Nice little conceal pistol…….
But the 1911 is still the best design ……..

That’s like saying, if you stand on the beach in the face of an approaching tidal wave, you’re going to get… “somewhat damp”…
