Pelosi: ‘I Don’t Think that People Want a New Direction’

‘Our values unify us and our values are about supporting America’s working families’

ouse Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said that despite Democrats losing the House, Senate, and almost two-thirds of state houses, the American people don't want a new direction.

The California congressman appeared on CBS's "Face the Nation" Sunday and instead said the issue facing Democrats is simply a failure of communication.

DICKERSON: “The Democratic Party is in a moment of questioning about its identity. You were reelected to lead the Democrats in the House. What do you tell Democrats who want a new direction and then, go to you, what are you going to do differently?” PELOSI: “Well, I don’t think people want a new direction. Our values unify us and our values are about supporting America’s working families. That’s one that everyone is in agreement on. What we want is a better connection of our message to working families in our country, and that clearly in the election showed that that message wasn’t coming through. But we are united in terms of the security of our country, which is our first responsibility. To be smart and strong and not reckless in how we protect the American people, strong in how we protect our economy.”

Pelosi also downplayed her party's losses in 2010 and 2016, telling CBS's John Dickerson "You're forgetting that we went up so high in 2006 and 2008."

Go Nancy go! We’re all behind you. Don’t change a thing. You’re doing great. Please contact her and let her know we agree. Embrace the suck Nancy. Embrace the suck. You came. You saw. And you embraced the suck.

“So why the heck do you keep pushing a carbon tax which will kill the middle class.”

In the DNC false consciousness, a carbon tax helps the middle class and working families.

This dim wit no doubt surrounds herself with high paid young sycophant aides and when she’s not at the office, she’s at the sycophant plastic surgeon’s and the sycophant hairdresser.

The democrats have handed the gop the perfect hand.
If played right the pubs could have a complete control of state and federal gov for the next thirty years.

I look for the gope to screw it up within a year.
Idiots like McCain and Graham would sink Noahs ark if given the opportunity.

Could be in San Francsicko, but not in my office.

The Democrats are doomed.

Let’s hope so. But I remember hearing many obituaries for the Republican Party over the years. We were in a pretty bad place in 2009.

I think that after all her cosmetic surgeries, San Fran Nan has to sleep with her eyes open. But then we all think she must hang in the closet upside down from the clothes rod at night too!

“Nancy only dreams about being Speaker again”

Yeah, in her dreams! She’s 76, so I don’t think her dream is anywhere near to being attainable. She will go to her grave as “Minority Leader.”

This example plainly illustrates how all big governments eventually tend to move toward totalitarianism. Reeducation camps and forced labor are needed to properly communicate to the people that their misery is for the common good.

” I remember hearing many obituaries for the Republican Party over the years.”

The “old Republican Party” is dead and buried. What we have now is the New Populust Party that is attracting a few disaffected members of that now defunct party. If Trump had not won, there would today, be nothing opposing the RATs. As the last remaining “It’s My Turn” Republicans die off, we will hopefully see the rebirth of a party devoid of Crony Capitalists.

Isn't this genius the first person on earth ever to utter the insane phrase:"

"...We have to pass the Bill to see what's in it..."

In a sane world, there would be harsh, immediate, and permanent consequences for such brazen, blatant treachery from an elected leader.

She is disqualified from service in our House or any other Government position. If I had my way, she'd be publicly humiliated in a wrist-and-neck stockade for two weeks, sleeping, crapping and pissing where she stands shackled and naked.

Then she'd begin fifteen years of live-streamed hard labor, where she would die of exhaustion and consumption long before her sentence ran out.

There are always punishments for breaking the law, but for shredding your Oath of Office and abandoning the solemn obligation to honorably serve your constituents, death alone is too humane a sentence. Pain and suffering, a long period of suffering, is demanded to balance such an horrific abuse.

This brain-rotted Imbecile Bitch Queen is just lucky I'm not King...
