Democrats wonder: Could retaining the most toxic figure in American politics possibly be a bad idea?

Answering that question correctly is roughly as difficult as solving a Scooby Doo mystery, and yet … they’re not going to solve this one, are they? It’s the equivalent of Shaggy, Scoob, and the rest of the crew giving up after a half-hour, piling into the Mystery Machine, and driving off to go smoke a bowl or whatever. Those meddling kids really need to “meddle” a little more this time.

Here’s a secret hint for Democrats trying to find the culprit and crack the case: Check the lady in the Nancy Pelosi mask.

Battle lines are emerging in the House Democratic Caucus over Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) possible bid to stay on as the minority leader…

Outside liberal groups are already organizing support for Pelosi before she makes a decision. Americans United for Change launched an e-mail campaign on Friday encouraging supporters to “send a personal note to Speaker Pelosi about how much you appreciate her leadership,” and to “make sure she knows that we still support her.”…

“Democrats lost because they didn’t fight hard enough for popular progressive reforms in the last two years. The Democratic leader least culpable of doing that is Nancy Pelosi,” the co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, Adam Green, said in an interview. “She’s the last person among Democratic Party leaders who should step down.”…

“I don’t think it’s likely that I would support her were she to run for minority leader,” Rep. Jason Altmire (D-Pa.) said Thursday evening on Fox News. “I don’t know who the other candidates are going to be, but if she is one of the candidates, I probably won’t vote that way.”

The good news: The GOP just became a prohibitive favorite to hold the House in 2012. The bad news: …I actually can’t think of any. Supposedly, Pelosi’s talents as a caucus whip are going to keep the Blue Dogs in line, thereby denying the GOP bipartisan cover on its votes next year, but take a listen below to centrist Dem Dan Boren from Oklahoma. He’s not in any real trouble himself next cycle, but he knows that reelecting Pelosi is apt to make the rump Blue Dog caucus even rump-ier after 2012. Ah well. Onward to liberal purity!

Nasti Pelosi is the Democrat Sarah Palin.

Who'd have thunk it?

How many so-called ‘blue dog’ Democrats left after Tuesday, and how will they do? Will they switch to liberal line, seeing that being a ‘blue dog’ didn’t help many of their colleagues, or will they become completely ‘DINO’ that vote almost conservative lines?

I’m in favor of Nancy Pelosi keeping her Dear Leader role.

as oblabo said at his presser wednesday, “we would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for those meddling tea partiers.”

Nancy is the gift that keeps on giving.

We can hold the vote for her over the heads of every democrat up in 2012, in addition to forcing them to vote against the repeal of Obamacare.

lol

Obama is more toxic but no one will say it due to “racism” charge.

“Democrats lost because they didn’t fight hard enough for popular progressive reforms in the last two years."

It amazes me that despite the countless numbers of polls and the results of the election that indicate otherwise - these delusional f*ckwits believe that "progressive reforms" are popular. Just another reminder that we need to curb stomp these CommieCrats™ with unrelenting brutality at every given opportunity. They'll never stop trying to f*ck us over and we should always remember that.
