House Democrats elected Nancy Pelosi to remain as their leader Wednesday despite massive party losses in this month's congressional elections that prompted some lawmakers to call for new leadership.
Pelosi, the nation's first female House speaker, will become minority leader when Republicans assume the majority in the new Congress in January.
She defeated moderate Democratic Rep. Heath Shuler of North Carolina, 150-43, in secret balloting in a lengthy closed-door gathering of House Democrats in the Capitol.

Progressives held on to 95% or more of their seats. They feel vindicated and are now stomping on the gas pedal.

Remember the GOP was assigned to the trash can as a has been, never to return in 2008.
The voters are fickle, so we should not be to cocky.

This is great it saves GOP’s the time and money of doing new opposition research on a new leader, we can use most all of the old and improve the old political ads etc. etc. May help voters understand they need to help even more than in 2010 if they truly want to ride themselves of Pelosi, Reid, and Zero.

This is beyond words....
...above and beyond, "Thank you, Dems, for the exquisite early-Christmas present!" :) This is beautiful! The face of Dem contempt for sane Americans is still in front of the cameras, and still talking!
I can't imagine that this is anything but good for our side of the aisle. Add this to the continued presence of Harry Reid, the apparent (fraud) victory of Lisa Murkowski, the TSA debacle, the economic implosion, and Obama's reliable narcissism, this could be VERY good in 2012.

Where's that photo with the cartoon bully( think it's from The Simpsons) laughing "HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA." The dems are weak, commies and marxists have hidden mao's red book, and others back under the floorboards, "progressives are hugging windmills whining like deranged Don Quioxte's, GE is begging Obama to do something and Soros is looking for one bad man to shut Glenn beck for good. Too bad not so sad, this whole election, TAKE BACK AMERICA, needs to continue until all are gone, every single last one of them and simultaneously get AZ out of the clutches of the
UN inHumane Rights Comission, stop government paid our tax dollar abortions, stop the border sieve, stop the illegals, stop the immoral homosexuals teating down our judeo-Christian heritage, stop the "progressives stomping on our constitution, stop printing money. More to come once I remember all the rest, oh, and STOP CAIR and run them basturds out of Oklahoma and firebomb Dearborn Michigans and the other 2,000 mosques one for each man or woman soldier killed over seas! I better stop, I think I just made a few more lists.
Israel vs UN Human Rights commisions, pease bookmark if you care
More UN Human Rights BS
UN Human Rights defamation on religion
Sorry to hijack this thread a bit but this is the same danged commmission OBAMA tossed AZ to the dogs!
UN council on Human Rights regarding shar'ia law
Israel speaks out regarding Jihad, racist fodder
Michele Malkin piece
Okay, I do not know much about law and treason nor what constitutes treason by a sitting president but how much more can America take by this turn coat? Dummy dems want all of us to be dhimmi slaves to shar'ia law and islam and Obama, Pelosi, Czars and the rest have become the enemy; Obama even called us that. When will this end?

It’s standard operating procedure for Democrats to either act like nothing wrong was done or there was no failure. It’s in their blood to constantly deceive.

Now those democrat house members who were elected promising to oppose Nancy will be punished - along with their constituents.
This should have been pointed out during the campaign, but it’s not to late to use it now and begin to defeat them in two years.
I applaud our opponents suicidal tendencies.

Was she not part of the reason for the House changing hands? Isn't this the sign of insanity - reelecting her and expecting a different result in 2012?
It is great news for the GOP to run AGAINST her. There can be no doubt the left wing owns the DemoCRAP party. Blue Dogs are gone and this liberal witch is happy as a clam.

Congratulations to Nancy Pelosi, now leader of the House Permanent Minority Rats. All Rats who voted against her should get an engraved invitation to join the GOP.
