House Democrats ended Election Day controlling fewer seats than they have in nearly 80 years, but Nancy Pelosi isnt conceding anything.
I do not believe what happened the other night is a wave, Pelosi said in her first sit-down interview since Democrats lost a dozen House seats to Republicans on Nov. 4. There was no wave of approval for the Republicans. I wish them congratulations, they won the election, but there was no wave of approval for anybody. There was an ebbing, an ebb tide, for us.
As for whether she would consider stepping down as minority leader, Pelosi said shes needed now more than ever.
Quite frankly, if we would have won, I would have thought about leaving, Pelosi declared, a remark that will likely surprise both admirers and detractors.
Pelosis take on the midterms is this: It wasnt a Republican wave, her partys message is fine and while President Barack Obama thinks Democrats need to play better politics, she believes Democrats just need to better engage voters.
As Pelosi prepares to run for another term as House minority leader, a position shes expected to win unchallenged next week, the powerful Californian is unrepentant about a brutal election night.

This coming from one of the major fraudsters who inflicted Obamacare on the American people.
Shouldn’t even be in office.

There usually is a noticeable receding tide before a tsunami hits. Nancy is in denial.

Imbecile isn’t qualified to be a toilet attendant at the YWCA.
How appropriate that she’s a leader of Democrats.

So much for the “party of science”. It’s the same way they refuse to accept evidence about the result of socialism, the fact that there has not been much if any global warming the last 20 years, etc.

I would like to see the House Ethics committee expel her for her involvement in passing Bamstercare, and have all the House Republicans wave goodbye as she is escorted out the door. THAT wave.

"There was no wave of approval for the Republicans" She is right on that part.
But there was a wave of disapproval for Obama specifically and democrats in general.

" There was no wave of approval for the Republicans. I wish them congratulations, they won the election, but there was no wave of approval for anybody. There was an ebbing, an ebb tide, for us. Let's hope Pelosi stays in her imaginary dream world in 2016.
Hopefully the DemonRATS will stay asleep and not wake up and realize that they are been led by a demented old crone.

I find it interesting that the Federal Govt. can demand that schools provide mental health evaluation , even where there is no demonstrateable issue,
yet we have government figures who deny reality, and have evidenced and voiced psychosis.
Yet the "stupid voters"( c/o Gruber) continue to reelect her, and the Dumbocrats who have a history of blind support of charismatic leaders, continue to support her psychosis.
You can't fix stupid, espceially when done repetiously !
