Pelosi: Total Coincidence My Brother-In-Law Secured $737 Million Federal Loan For His “Green” Energy Firm…

Cough . . . cough . . . bullshit . . .cough . . . cough.

SANTA MONICA — Department of Energy officials and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi have slammed as absurd reports from conservative blogs that inflated the connection between Pelosi’s brother-in-law and a Nevada solar power project that received a $737 million federal government loan guarantee this week. . . .

Ronald Pelosi joined Pacific Corporate Group in April, roughly three years after it had invested in SolarReserve, a company official confirmed Thursday. The official said Ronald Pelosi doesn’t stand to profit or lose from the firm’s stake in SolarReserve because he doesn’t have an interest in the fund that made that investment.

The Pacific Corporate Group official said Thursday that no one from the firm had contacted the White House in connection with the application.

“This is an absurd suggestion,” Department of Energy press secretary Damien LaVera said of any connection between Ronald Pelosi and the loan guarantee announcement. “Many months of rigorous technical, financial and legal due diligence was done by nonpolitical career employees to scrutinize every aspect of this transaction — over a period of years.

Nancy Pelosi, at an event Thursday in San Francisco to drum up support for President Obama’s jobs plan, told The Chronicle that she was not familiar with the solar firm, its federal loan application or any association her brother-in-law had with the firm.

Ronald Pelosi is “a great guy,” she said, adding that she was sorry he had been “dragged into this.”

    Ronald Pelosi is a “great guy” whose thieving ass is going to prison in Jan. 2013. Beech.

    I understand the money is being used on a project in southern Nv. Gee, not only Pelosi but how about Dingy Harry also. What a bunch of out and out crooks.

    Why are Liberals not at all concerned that all the new powers they have created for government may someday be used against them?

    With the extraordinary powers Progressives have created for government, powers that allow them to push the Liberal agenda, what makes them think government won’t seize the assets of their partners in crime in 2013?

    Didn’t government seize the assets of General Motors from the stock holders, then give that property to the UAW?

    Yes.

    And another question would be: What do we do with GM once the Republicans take back the Senate?

    DOE says “This is an absurd suggestion, ………….” WTF, last time I checked there were over 300,000,000 people in the US and it is f*ckin’ pure coincidence that Nacy Pelosi’s brother in law is part of the group receiving $757,000,000 in green energy pork. Do I have “stupid” written on my forehead?

    I’ve heard Bernie Madoff was a “great guy” as well – to some.

    I just wish the bowels of Hell would open up to swallow these filty, lying beasts and rid this world of this scum.

    Every minute we get closer and closer to the day when we have all had enough to do something about what’s going on. One thing after another adds another straw to the camels back. A day of solace is coming. A day of evening will arrive. Those who have placed their trust in money to purchase their “security” will feel the insecurity we have been forced into. Enjoy it while it lasts. When the day comes all will reconsider what they have permitted and instigated.

    The intrepid reporter followed up by asking how many loan guarantees were given to companies whose investors DID NOT bundle for Obama.

    Oh, wait….the insipid reporter did not ask that. My bad.

    The DIM-rats have turned taxpayers into a cash cow for their re-election… like everything else in this country. The stupid ones are those that voted for politician that can bring the most “pork” home. It should be working for the best of the whole country, not a particular district when is why we need to go back to the days when senators are appointed for check and balance…

    STIMULAS cash and this green energy subsidies are nothing more than slush funds for the democratic party…

    and, if this had been Dick Cheney or George W. Bush, making the exact same comment/declaration, the story would have hit the stratosphere at Mach speeds – looping, spinning, churning in the Media and in every left-wing circle and cell, foreign and domestic; basking in the possibility of prosecution, all.

    Harry has been working overtime, behind the scenes to secure this deal which is dirty to begin with and since Harry and Pelosi are partners in crime, there is NO WAY “Nancy knew NOTHING! The fact that this money will generate 600 temp jobs and 45 permanent jobs, is a frickin joke.

    In other words, politics is all about the dough. Hope, change, the price of tea in China – that’s all a smokescreen to keep people busy believing in tomorrow, whereas today and every day people are being screwed to high heavens.

    It’s amazing.

    Of course, no one at this company contacted the administration. They had Nancy Pelosi do their bidding for them. She has a curiously cozy relationship with the utterly incompetent DOE head, Chu, and simply accomplished the mission behind closed doors. How do you think that increased her own wealth by over 50% in one year?

    First, Solyndra, and now a $737 million green jobs loan to Solar Reserve (Nancy Pelosi’s brother-in-law connection). Someone said yesterday, “This administration has already been caught stealing and they’re not even trying to hide it any more………
    It should be obvious by now that they’re going to take as much as they can while they can”………….It’s time to go to war with these clowns. Indict, convict and return all monies purloined to the public treasury.

    Smoke and mirrors, mumbo jumbo, David Copperfield could learn how to make things “mainly our tax dollars” disappear. I can’t believe the continuous gall of these people. How much of our money do they have to steal before saying I have enough. I think liberals get off on it. Obama’s game plan is to hit America with so many scandals we just don’t care anymore.

    I hear there’s another partner in Solar Reserve – Argonaut Ventures. You know, the same Argonaut and George Kaiser that made out with Solyndra. Those campaign bubdles just keep paying off!

    “But that’s not all. Solar Reserve is also investment partners with Argonaut Private Equity, an arm of the (George) Kaiser Family Foundation that was a major investor in Solyndra and was involved in negotiations with the DOE to restructure the failed company’s loan agreement”
    _________________________

    @Tom Ford is correct. Once again, George Kaiser (Democrat (Obama) donor extraordinaire) has a financial interest in the recipient of a huge Federal Government loan guarantee.

    Democrats are stealing this country blind at an alarming speed. When justice is eventually served I will gladly supply the well oiled hemp to mete out the well deserved neck stretching to each and every one of those damned thieves.

    And I would be happy to personally replace that gaudy pearl necklace Pelosi seems so fond of with a noose.
