Pelosi Delivers Postmortem To Her Troops (Said Democrats Lost Because They Didn't Vote)
he Hill ^ | November 6, 204 | Mike Lillis

Posted on 11/06/2014 7:22:00 PM PST by lbryce

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday provided a straightforward postmortem on the sweeping defeat her party suffered at the polls two days before: Democrats didn't win, she said, because Democrats didn't vote.

In a 75-minute call with the members of her caucus, the minority leader acknowledged the Democrats' "terrible year" but argued that low voter participation — not the party's message — was the root of the problem.

She's vowing an all-out push to get more voters of all political persuasions to the polls in the future, and called this effort part of Congress's "moral responsibility." "Next year has to be the year to expand the universe of people who vote. I'm concerned that eligible voters did not vote in the election this year," Pelosi told her troops, according to a source on the call.

She did concede to having a terrible year, an(n)us horribilis, which you can spell with one "n" or two but remained in typical democrat stupefying denial by claiming the loss was caused by Democrats not voting.

I would say, taking into consideration all that has gone on in Congress, saying they lost because Democrats hadn't voted is not all that is unimpeachable in Washington, DC.

To hear what she has to say, the dour look on her politically weather beaten old puss is a joy to behold.

In the real world of causality, the quality of a message encourages a larger quantity of support.

But in Pelosi’s twisted vision, arm-twisting a larger quantity of support defines the quality of the message.

Yap, those democrats did not vote because they could not find their ID cards on election day. Nancy, you are such a moron.

Obama’s Silent Majority:

“To everyone that voted, I want you to know that I heard you, to two-thirds of voters that chose not to participate in the process yesterday, I hear you, too.”

As if the Left didn’t do every single thing in it’s power to get out the legal vote, and then some.

Pelosi, here’s a clue for ya. Lets see if you can figure out the answer.

If your people aren’t motivated to go out and vote, whose fault is it, theirs or yours?

Republicans go out and vote because of our quality of character. Perhaps you should improve the character of your party, and folks would go out on their own to support you.

That’s the talking point for the left. I’ve been watching all the drones repeat the low turnout on Facebook and how it was just big-money the bought the election. Since a majority didn’t even vote it doesn’t mean anything. What a bunch of morons.

Obama is such a nit-wit.

Democrats go out and register everything that moves.

Republican registration takes place because Republicans are motivated to go out and vote as a civic duty. Conservative people seek out registration and then follow through.

Democrats, many times having the largest registration rolls, see a larger portion of their people take a pass on voting.

LOL. Yeah, and when a movie bombs at the box office, it's because the people didn't go - not because the movie was horrible.

Bad.

In the Second Republic, men vote at 21, women at 30, only owners of property worth at least $10 000, and no net recipients of government funds, including salaried employment from the jurisdiction in question.

They lost with all their voting inconsistencies? You know all those calibrated voting machines that popped out D when anyone pressed R?

I would venture to guess that there just may have been a little Divine Intervention taking place.

I know if I were a liberal and the machines ended up putting the R's over the top I would be royally p!$$ed.

They can't complain to the state commissioner when they know they calibrated the vote their way.
