Nancy Pelosi says she doesn’t lose sleep over the midterms at all

Nancy Pelosi

Newscast Media — In a display of confidence, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said on This Week with Christiane Amanpour, “I’m not nervous at all. I never take anything for granted. And our agenda now is, we’re not going back to the failed policies of the Bush administration. We’re going forward.”

However, the video below shows a nervous Nancy Pelosi as she seemed puzzled when her supporters turned against her.

In the interview, Amanpour asked Pelosi, “So what does it make you feel then, when the president’s own spokesman said that you might lose the majority?” A defiant Pelosi answered, “With all due respect, I don’t spend a whole lot of time thinking about what the president’s employees say about one thing or another.”

In reference to White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, she continued to say, “So we feel very confident about where we are, whether that’s well known to that gentleman or not.”

Amanpour then asked, “What is it you can do for the people in this highly polarized situation?” To which Pelosi shot back, “First of all, what you define as a highly polarized situation is a very big difference of opinion, the Republicans are here for the special interests, we’re here for the people’s interests.”

Pelosi denied that Inter-party bickering was what it appeared to be. She said it was simply philosophical difference. http://newscastmedia.com/nancy-pelosi.htm

Houston attorney husband and wife team wage war against Gov. Perry’s re-election

Newscast Media — Houston based attorneys Steve Mostyn and Amber Anderson are planning to donate a substancial amount of money to displace Gov. Rick Perry and replace him with former Houston mayor Bill white. The husband and wife team have already donated $1.3 million to White’s campaign and will likely exceed $3 million.

Mostyn said, “My guts seem to be dictating this instead of my head. If my head was dictating it, I’d probably put the money into a trust fund for my kids.”

A political action committee geared toward Bill White’s election has an additional $1.1 million for them to spend, and these expenditures are heavily financed by Mostyn, who is also behind the negative ads airing against Gov. Perry.

To date, Rick Perry has outraised Bill White in funds which total $20 million compared to Bill White’s $16.6 million. Perry spokesman Mark Miner said, “It should be no surprise that a trial lawyer is supporting a trial lawyer.” http://www.newscastmedia.com/mostyn.htm
