For the Love of God, Please Let This Be the Last Time

I don't agree with Blinky too often, if ever, but she makes a good point here. In a recent interview with Charlie Rose, Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi was saying her usual irrelevent, inane liberal talking points and usual embellishments if not all out lies. However she did raise an issue me and my friends have been saying for a couple of yeares now. Here's the interview, with the point in question reprinted, in bold italics; my emphasis.

CHARLIE ROSE: Some argue that the sacrifice had been primarily by the men and women in the armed services and their families. And part of the reason that we ought not go to war, in which the American people are not asked to sacrifice behind the military.

NANCY PELOSI : Well, the one percent of our population is feeling this in a very personal way. And that`s just not fair. The shared sacrifice -- what did we do? We went to war, and the president gave a tax cut to the wealthiest people in America instead of saying we’re going to have a shared sacrifice here so everyone knows what the cost of this war is.

Like I said, please let this benthe last time I have to do this!
