Nancy Pelosi finally has the proof she needs that Republicans hate poor people: “I asked a Republican friend why his party remains so opposed to extending the vital lifelines for struggling families and really hungry children,” she said. “This colleague’s response was telling in its blunt nature and stunning in its honesty. What he said was, to the Republican caucus, these people you are talking about are invisible, and the Republican caucus is indifferent to them.” Well, case closed – she heard it from a “Republican.” Meanwhile, Democrats don’t have to prove their programs work (they don’t). They just have to keep repeating that they care.
