In her first public remarks since Election Day last week, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi defended her decision to run to keep her post atop the House Democratic Caucus, and doesnt sound likely to relinquish it anytime soon.
I dont understand why this question should even come up, the California Democrat said at a press conference Thursday. Im here as long as the members want me to be here.
Pelosi suggested that she wasnt, as many expect, looking to serve one more term as minority leader before retiring in 2016 when, colleagues hope, Hillary Rodham Clinton will be elected president.
Im not here on a schedule, Pelosi said, except for a mission to get a job done.
She also hinted that there was implicit sexism in the constant rhetoric of will she or wont she.
When was the last time you asked Mitch McConnell arent you getting a little old, Mitch? said Pelosi of the Republican senator from Kentucky.
McConnell, who is 72, has been in Senate GOP leadership since 2003 and the minority leader since 2007. He was earlier on Thursday elected Senate majority leader for the 114th Congress.
At 74 years old, Pelosi has been in House Democratic leadership since 2002 and has been at the very top of the caucus power structure since 2003.
Pelosi acknowledged that the 2014 midterm elections were disappointing for her colleagues, especially for the incumbents who lost re-election. She reiterated an argument she has made over the past week that the Democratic Party needs to do more in the next two years to engage a whole new base of voters, saying that the campaign should revolve around the 50th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act.

LOL!!! I WANT San Fran Nan to stay as Queen Fly atop the Democrap Dunghill. Every time she opens her mouth, a thousand Sheeple wake up and start heading for the exits.
Not a question I would ask unless the person has had at least three facelifts.
You damn near scared me off my chair. A little advance warning, if you don’t mind.
Wow. Didn't notice that the first time. Ill guess - the picture was taken on a full moon and she is beginning to turn?
Last year Nazi Pelosi. I didn't get a response.
5.56mm
Come on, turtles live much longer than bats.
Uncooperative, immovable, akin to rigid and stiff
The physical world is a window to the spiritual world. Botox, fillers and face lifts - a frozen face, an icy stare... stone cold witnesses to the evil in the air.
Her language is brimming with defensiveness, cold calculating poison, and passive aggressiveness.
And that's without her even saying a word!
elections have consequences. and we won. you'll have to helpldessly watch all of our bills pass before you can find out what is in them... and I hope they use reconciliation to pass the majority of them just to watch her and harry melt down
Its rumored that her ancestors singlehandedly invented HALLOWEEN!!
Sorry, shoulda said “Stand By For ..... BOO!”
Is San Fran Nan, getting a bit touchy on the age thing???
Bet she is just missing the fancy airplane and benefits she had as leader of the House...It is hard to make women give up luxury items...she should start spending her own Millions, she won’t be taking it with her...
AMERICAN VOTERS HAVE FINALLY BEGUN AWAKENING ...
Oh, I see that you found a photograph of Pelosi in her younger and much more attractive days.
shez been so wrapped up in the delusion that she was some sort of hyper powerful invincible super woman she;s not ever developed any “cushioning” no Fall Back Position”...no real sense of how utterly irrational her world view is.
the WAVE...crashed on no one any harder than it did on San fran Nan!
Im sure she thinks it was personal......and in a way it may have been,
“And when was lunch? Did I miss lunch again? Today was fruit cup day. I love fruit cup. They never have fruit cup at dinner.”
And who would that "new base of voters" be, Mrs. Pelosi? They wouldn't be millions of newly hatched voters from south of the border, would they?
They're not even trying to hide the fact that they're getting ready to mint new Democrat voters.
Hey, Nance, you’re gonna have fewer members than any rat House leader since before the depression, 6 years ago you had a huge majority. You party is retarded for not kicking you to the curb, God bless em!
EVIL and STUPID!
