Nancy Pelosi: GOP is the ?E. coli club?

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi started a food fight Monday with Republicans, calling the GOP the ?E. coli club.?

At a campaign event for West Palm Beach Mayor Lois Frankel, who?s running for Congress, Pelosi was talking about the government?s role when she said that, as a mother of five, ?You could depend on the government for one thing ? it was about, you had to be able to trust the water that our kids drank and the food that they ate. But this is the E. coli club. They do not want to spend money to do that.?

Pelosi?s spokesman, Drew Hammill, summed it up for POLITICO: ?Republican cuts to food safety = less safe food.?

Earlier in her talk, Pelosi addressed conservative efforts to reduce the size of government.

?It?s a philosophy that the Republicans in Congress have and, bless their hearts, they act upon their beliefs,? she said. ?It?s an ideology. We shouldn?t have a government role. So reduce the police, the fire, the teachers ? reduce their role. Give tax cuts to the high end, that will stimulate the economy and everything will be good.
