She wishes, the Dems still can't come to grips with the fact that there is massive grassroots opposition to their socialist agenda....
ZIPWASHINGTON – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is questioning whether the conservative "tea party" coalition truly represents a grass-roots movement.
In a broadcast interview, Pelosi calls tea party voters the "astroturf" movement. She says many of those voters have good intentions but that the Republican Party has hijacked the movement for its gain. The San Francisco Democrat says the tea party coalition shares some common ground with Democrats, such as their dislike of special interests in Washington. She cited public disdain for the recent Supreme Court ruling on campaign finance that allows companies and unions to spend freely on ads that promote or target particular candidates by name. Pelosi spoke in an interview with ABC's "This Week" that was airing Sunday.
It can never be said enough, "This woman is seriously delusional."

Zip, fyi, I get a 'problem loading page' error message when I click on the link to read the entire article. And are you sure this isn't an article from last summer, when the tea party movement was just starting out? I remember her using the term 'astroturf' to describe the tea party back then... and after all this time and the elections in Virginia, New Jersey and especially Mass., I can't BELIEVE she'd STILL be using that pejorative term to describe the tea party folks!!

She was scheduled to be on one of the Sunday morning news programs so I am guessing that it's current.

Thanks JenBee, fixed it...

It's apparently a current quote, JenBee.
From Fox: "Pelosi spoke in an interview with ABC's "This Week" that was airing Sunday."
I'll be sure not to watch....

Yes, I, for one, was furious when the Supreme Court threw a monkey wrench in the Soros machine's election winning scheme.

Anyone like Pelosi who can make believe that she sould receive communion even though she advocates killing babies has a unique talent for lying about everything.
If anything, the TEA Party movement is taking over the GOP, not the other way around.
Seriously. Is this woman delusional? Insane? Sociopathic? I think she actually believes her lies. Like Obama and Reid.

Nancy is NOT delusional. She has an agenda.

Wow, AGAIN with the 'astroturf' bullshit. You'd think after they maligned and demonized us last summer and we retaliated with surprise wins in Virginia, New Jersey, and the Mass. Senate seat they'd have recognized that this is NOT astroturf, we are NOT paid for nor directed by the GOP, and we ARE for real. Yet still, STILL, she doesn't get it. I sure wish this bitch lived in an area that wasn't overtaken by unicorns and rainbows so we could organize her ouster, as well. This shit really pisses me off. I can't wait until November when I can vote... I've never so looked forward to casting my vote in the 21 years since I've been allowed to vote. NOVEMBER 2010, 2012, OH ARE WE EVER COMING FOR YOU ALL.

Doesn't she remember her assertion that the Tea Party members were UNAMERICAN? Why should she care what those Unamerican Nuts do anyway???!!!! But she obviously does because she and her ilk have finally realized the movement is for real and hopefully poses a real threat to her continued political power. Astroturf, huh? How condescending can you get? And from a woman whose husband has become a kzillionaire off her special interest bills!

She better make up her mind, thought she is now saying she shares values with Tea Party? She forgets her own bullshit, better change her medications.

As Dana mentions..surprising that her husbands little tuna scam operation (hawaii I believe?) is not mentioned more often.No special interests my ass.She and her bunch are truly as evil as it gets.

Pelosi looks like she belongs in Madame Tussauds Wax Museum.
She always reminds me of Madame Defarge, knitting, knitting, knitting as the guillotine falls, her avid features sharp as the blade.
