Well, if Democratic bloodsports over the House speakership race was on your Christmas list, cross it off. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) now has a lock on it, with a deal struck with the anti-Pelosi wing on the Democratic Party, who vowed to oppose her bid. Some 16 House Democratsdeclared their opposition to her candidacy. Yet, their potential candidate to oppose Pelosi, Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-OH), decided to bow out. Some other anti-Pelosi Democrats jumped ship as well. Still, there was a chance that this small band of rebels could cause Pelosi heartburn on the House floor. Now, such fears can be put to rest. Pelosi plans to step aside after…four years (via Politico):
Nancy Pelosi struck a deal Wednesday with Democratic rebels intent on denying her the speakership, paving the way for her to reclaim the gavel she lost eight years ago.
The California Democrat has agreed to limit her time as speaker to four years at most. In return, a critical number of lawmakers who vowed to oppose Pelosi will support her in a crucial Jan. 3 House floor vote.
The proposal also limits the time her two deputies, Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and Assistant Democratic Leader Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.), can stay in their posts, although those changes will likely have to be ratified by the full caucus.
The accord is a major triumph for Pelosi, who has spent the past several weeks engaged in a full-court lobbying campaign to line up the remaining votes she needed to clinch the speakership.
After Campaigning On Promise To Oppose Pelosi, Dem Rep-Elect Now Admits She Will Be Voting For Her
CNN’s Manu Raju: Freshman House Dems Already Going Back On Their Word To Oppose Pelosi
Pelosi is the embodiment of everything that’s wrong with Washington: Kennedy
More and more communist destruction of USA
and
corruption galore!
and lies lies lies lies and more lies
Pelosi won’t live for four more years. She looks like death warmed over a BBQ pit.
Stoyer - He’s partially responsible for the immigration laws emasculation (late 1980’s, early 1990’s. Sleazy political bastard.
Clyburn - Even snakes in the grass move to another yard to avoid being seen with him.
Yep. The same old corrupt, insane, and anti-America crowd is back in the saddle again, though unlike Reagan who rode “tall in the saddle”, they ride under the horse.
Evil beings like Nan and Hill just seem to live forever.
It always funny to hear that the GOP needs moderate leadership and the Dems need radicals.
Is it legal to mail toilet waste through the us mail? That would remind her of home if she received a few tons of it shipped to her congressional office!
Out going speaker 48
Incoming speaker 80
yes the DNC is dying.
Maybe a good old fashioned Stalinesque purge?
Can you believe this is the best America can do for a leadership position. We are in a sinking ship. Get out the lifeboats.
Propped up progressive propagandist Pelosi peaked long ago. She’s barely hanging around like a pelosi in toilet bowl.
Good. She’ll drag her Thug party into the grave.
Good. The Democrats have Pelosi, a person who cannot negotiate and who cannot communicate. Pelosi is completely useless.
Sexist Pig Pelosi gets her power back. It’s like we can never get rid of the greedy, hateful hag.
That the newly-elected so-called moderates lied to the faces of their voters won’t matter to the latter one bit. Boy, that’s some concession you wrung out of her, boys and girls. Not that I mind; she’s the best thing for the GOP in this dismal picture
Keep Pelosi alive and as healthy as possible! And Mad Maxine, too! ;-)
Told ya
Pelosi teaches Minority “Rising Stars” that “White is Still Right” when it comes to ‘RAT politics. They can take over the Party of Free Sh*t after she’s gone.
At the end of the day you knew she’d be able to buy this.
So much for the ‘insurgents’. THEY LIED.
But then they are democrats.
So their lying is a given.
