House Dems Again Choose Nancy Pelosi as Leader

House Dems Again Choose Nancy Pelosi as Leader Nov 18, 2014 By ALAN FRAM

Rep. Nancy Pelosi overcame gripes about Democrats' losing campaign messages and breezed to re-election Tuesday as House minority leader.

Meeting behind closed doors, Democrats used a voice vote to give Pelosi, D-Calif., her seventh two-year term as their House leader. The rest of the party's top leadership in the chamber, including No. 2 leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., was also re-elected.

Pelosi and her lieutenants faced no challengers. But just two weeks after an Election Day that deepened their minority status — they lost at least a dozen House seats — some said their party had done a poor job of persuading middle-class voters that Democrats were on their side.

"We need a full-blown discussion of who we are, where we're going, what are our priorities. If everything is a priority, nothing is a priority," said Rep. Bill Pascrell, D-N.J. "It's all of our faults, not just the leadership."

"We should have stayed on message and not walked away from the successes of this president," said Rep. Donald Payne Jr., D-N.J. Many Democratic candidates distanced themselves from President Barack Obama, who is deeply unpopular in some regions.

Pelosi has been House Democratic leader since 2003, including a four-year stint as the first female House speaker. They've not been in the majority since 2010, and Pelosi said it was time for Democrats to focus more sharply on middle-class needs.

"What we want are initiatives that help the American people, that reduce the anxiety because it reduces the income disparity" between lower earners and the wealthy, Pelosi told reporters

And that, Dear Peckerhead, is why you continue to lose Congress. People are finally waking up to your same ole nonsense about economic inequality, especially those who don't have friggin jobs.

But mostly, they are waking up to the middle-of-night Obamicare fiasco you pushed on us, without a single Republican vote. How's the giant gavel hanging now? Are you still laughing like in that infamous photo? You may have been re-elected by your lame followers, but how does it feel to have NO power? Personally, I have relished every day since 2010, you miserable socialist beotch. Now you're beady-eyed buddy Reid is getting his just dues. Bwaaahahaha.

As I like to call it, DemocratCare is going to eventually fail and I will laugh in my emails at you. Do us all a favor and sunset yourself. Your days are over, you miserable POS. Oh, and take Feinswine and BadBoxer with you into your socialist utopia. Just go away.

Democrats are quickly becoming the party of Old White People who have no new ideas and no new plans. Democrats are becoming the most un-progressive politicians in the US

Which leads the GOP electorate to ask themselves: “WTF are we voting for?”

Insanely stupid action to elect a leader who has no grip on reality and lives in the twilight zone.

I see they’re still delusional. Hope they stay with it.

This is great news. She is widely and soundly discredited as an absolute lunatic moonbat fruitcake. That she be the face of the Democrat Party in The People's House is hilarious, worthy of all ridicule, and precisely fitting.

These barking mad rump chunks are becoming laughable caricatures of themselves, and it's apparently not lost on the public at large.

LMAO!

“Pelosi and her lieutenants faced no challengers.”

None dare challenge the Clown Queen. What does she HAVE on all of these eunuchs?
