I’ve got a sign for Pelosi and her commie ‘RATS. It says 2012 on it.

"The lesson [of the elections] is not to back down from a fight," Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.) said in a statement. "The lesson learned is we need to fight harder for real, fundamental change for the middle-class. And no one fights harder than Nancy Pelosi."

"I mean, who's the better person to make John Boehner look crazy? It's Pelosi."

Um... yeah. These people really get it.

Like I said, we should give the Pelosi Democrats the same treatment they gave us.

And if they complain, remind them we won.

They can go take a hike and pass wind for all I care.

The dems are committing political suicide. They are going to go on the record against tax cuts, for health care, and on the wrong side of a lot of other issues. Unless she retires before 2012, she and Obama and Reid will be lightening rods again. GOP sweeps to power in 2012.

It's amazing. Out of the hundreds of posts here on FR about the "lessons learned" from the election, there seems to be just as many lessons as there are posters and journalists.

The election just happened 5 days ago; results are still coming in. There has been no legislation to amount to much, only news pundits and opinions.

Yet aaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllll these lessons have been learned from the election.

My question is, why didn't the democrat learn ANY lessons in the past two years we've been yelling them.

But, these are not the dems telling of their amazing discovering, it's their sneaky way of throwing down the gauntlet.

Well, bring it on boys and girls...we're ready.

Lines have been drawn and they are not merely ‘scratches’ in the sand. They have become trenches. Let them fight and I hope they are rabid (they will be) during the fight. Let that insanity be in full view for the American public.

On a side note, I heard on the news yesterday that my state (MO) legislature along with the Gov (a dem) intends to ‘fight’. In other words they intend to get radical (that will go over like a lead balloon here in Missouri). But much concern has been expressed because our Governor, a democrat, has worked well with the Republicans since he was elected. But now, that the Repuplicans have swept the state legislature, the rallying cry by the dims is ‘fight!’

That's what they're really doing, whether they realize it or not.

[Anti-Bubba182]

It makes sense. The so called Blue Dogs or moderate Democrats were decimated. The most left Democrat members from left districts are left. They are pretty bullet proof in their districts and personally are better off not making accommodations with the GOP.

That's obama's girl.

These toadies are nothing if not obstinate. But that's the way fools always are.

[sappy]

The problem for her will be that any rino or dem who works with her is marked for unemployment in coming elections.

[screaminsunshine]

Obamakazis all.

[nickcarraway]

Oh great. Boehner’s signature move is to back down.

[Frantzie]

Good.

“Put another way: “She’s in a better position to throw the bombs back at Republicans,” a former House Democratic aide said tersely. “I mean, who’s the better person to make John Boehner look crazy? It’s Pelosi.” “

Now that’s funny!

[muawiyah]

If Pelosi wants to fight and can find enough supporters of the same mind, then it’s time to BUILD THE CELLS where we are going to have to have them restrained.
