Pelosi: Boehner went to ‘dark side’ or something

No more deficit spending!
Via memeorandumPelosi: Boehner went to ‘dark side’
Right before the House voted to reject a Democratic debt-ceiling plan, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi didn’t mince words.

Pelosi pulled out a Star Wars reference on the House floor, saying that Speaker John Boehner “chose to go to the dark side” and court the most conservative members of his conference, rather than work on a bipartisan compromise.
And yes, this comes from the same Nancy "we have to pass the bill to find what is in it" Pelosi that rammed through ObamaCare without a single Republican vote, and with no one having read the bill.
It’s time for us to end this theater of the absurd,” she said. “It’s time for us to get real.”

The House struck down the Democratic measure, 173-246, in a vote that was designed to fail. Boehner brought the measure up under a special rule that required a two-third majority for passage.
Curious that The Politico decided to bring that up since the vote didn't even get a majority and 11 Democrats voted with the GOP making it about as bipartisan as it could get in this day and age. The video of Pelosi's hypocritical shrillage:
Just remember: Good news: National Debt Has Increased $5 Trillion Since Nancy Pelosi Vowed, "No New Deficit Spending". I agree with Jack Cafferty on this one thing at least: "what a horrible woman!"
