'Patriots Against Pelosi' -- Hundreds Protest House Speaker at Orange County Tea Party!

Well, good thing I'm not on deadline! But it's worth the wait!

And I told her: "I'm not happy with the Democrats." She said, well you're in political science, right? That explains it." Actually, President Hussein "Infanticide" Obama and his PelosiCare monsrosity explain it, but I said my farewells, in any case:

I am sure Ms. Pelosi felt encouraged by all those
who showed up to protest her, and the democrats
policies.
