Lessons unlearned, Part II
Well, Nancy Pelosi just won the leadership position of her party once again.
“There was a lot of unrest in the room for several hours,” Shuler said following the vote, arguing the strength of his challenge “sends a message” that the party needs to change direction.
If I was just a partisan Republican interested only in the number of seats my party occupied in Congress, I’d be ecstatic that Pelosi won because the voters will punish Democrats in two years. But I’m more concerned about my country, my family and my wallet.
Pelosi has argued that she should remain in the leadership in part because she knows how to lead Democrats out of the political wilderness, having done so four years ago. She also argues that she is the most effective fundraiser for members of the caucus. She blames the party’s losses on the country’s lingering economic troubles and high unemployment rate, not her leadership.
If by “lead Democrats out of the political wilderness” she means “out of the political wilderness into the darker, denser triple-quadruple canopy jungle” she’s probably right. This is the second time I’ve heard her absolve herself of blame for the losses in the election. I guess she doesn’t realize that the “country’s lingering economic troubles and high unemployment rate” are lingering and high because of her policies. Her pig-headed policies.
Now they want to diddle with tax hikes. The market shot up the day after the election and now that Congress is back in session it’s back to ambling along with aimless uncertainty.

Bingo.
Looks like it’s still Halloween in Washington…
The definition of insanity?
Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
So, after getting their heads handed to them in the mid-terms, the dems have decided that the American people were right to be pissed? So, they changed their leadership from Owebowma, Reid and Pelosi to Owebowma, Reid and Pelosi? AP is right, they keep dong the same things over and expect that this time they’ve got it right?
Fine… she’s now the Minority Leader. Give the fancy plane to the Majority leader, and give her a Cessna.
POS twit…
Denial isn’t just a river in Egypt…….
@Seadog: The new majority leader says he will be returning the speaker’s 757 and flying mainly commercial.
The democratic part has been digging their own grave for years. Now they are saying that if they keep digging the way they have been they will come out on the other side eventually. All I have to say is, “Keep digging. Do you need any more shovels?”
Um, She must really be suffering with the RCG’s. She will surely help to drain the swamp in two years, now, won’t she?
Good God, the balls of these people!!
To quote Ron”Tater salad” White,”You can’t fix stupid!”
In this case, the stupid would be the voters in San Fransicko, Kalifornia that continue to send” Don’t my lumineers look pretty?”, back to the swamp.
