-Short Attention Span Theater-
Pelosi: 'I Don't Think that People Want a New Direction'
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said that despite Democrats losing the House, Senate, and almost two-thirds of state houses, the American people don't want a new direction.

The California congressman appeared on CBS's "Face the Nation" Sunday and instead said the issue facing Democrats is simply a failure of communication.

DICKERSON: "The Democratic Party is in a moment of questioning about its identity. You were reelected to lead the Democrats in the House. What do you tell Democrats who want a new direction and then, go to you, what are you going to do differently?"

PELOSI: "Well, I don't think people want a new direction. Our values unify us and our values are about supporting America's working families. That's one that everyone is in agreement on. What we want is a better connection of our message to working families in our country, and that clearly in the election showed that that message wasn't coming through. But we are united in terms of the security of our country, which is our first responsibility. To be smart and strong and not reckless in how we protect the American people, strong in how we protect our economy."
See, it's not that the Democrats have fundamentally mis-read the country, nor is that they have an abiding disrespect for the heartland. It's the "messaging" that's all wrong. If only Hillary had worn better lipstick...
Didn't Sarah Palin once say something about putting lipstick on a pig?
Pelosi also downplayed her party's losses in 2010 and 2016, telling CBS's John Dickerson "You're forgetting that we went up so high in 2006 and 2008."
It seems the DNC powerbrokers feel the same way. Enjoy your political wilderness for the next 8 years.

#1  I'm so glad this clueless one is still in charge of the Dems.
Posted by: Crusader || 12/05/2016 0:46 Comments || Top||

#2  And people like her are considered leaders (by some)? There is a good psychological doctoral thesis in this case.

#3  Didn't Sarah Palin once say something about putting lipstick on a pig?

I thought that was Donald. Either way, I think Rosie O'Donnell was involved somehow.

#4  She's from San Francisco. It really is a different world there.
Posted by: Hupavigum Hupinemble3909 || 12/05/2016 2:19 Comments || Top||

#5  She's old and will die soon. But what is her fascination with taking the country down with her?
Posted by: Slats the Full Bosomed4549 || 12/05/2016 3:00 Comments || Top||

#6  Well she got the "I don't think" part right
Posted by: Cheaderhead || 12/05/2016 5:41 Comments || Top||

#7  And I sincerely hope and pray she remains in CONTROL. And that they never learn or suspect that they are Clueless. May it please God to keep them staring and blind to what and who they really are. And Keith Ellison endorsed by Bernie Sanders and other savants of the Left....I fall to my knees and beseech heaven...thank you thank you.

Impotent and crippled they march into the glorious light of Next Tuesday. Yes, yes. "We have to Vote for it before we can read it or know what is IN it." The veritable Wisdom of the ages flows from her botoxed mouth. The MANIFEST destiny of the Democratic party. The LEGACY of Obama revealed to mortals. I am overcome with divine Joy.

#8  Reference #5: Facilitating the ascension of Congressman Keith Ellison from DNC chair to Minority Leader. Let not the strategic plan be disrupted.

#10  What folks REALLY don't get is 1) these people are moving towards a militant solution. 2) study the rise of socialism and communism and you will see that the day will come when politics will be abandoned by them and will by force will be the solution, Pelosi/Obama/Jarret etc. etc. supported the Occupy movement. 3) There STOP fawning over these people remaining in power in hopes it weakens them. Put them in prison before they regroup and start inching closer and closer to brute force. Ask the hundreds of Trump supporters that were physically assaulted as has never before witnessed in history in this country. Brute force against law enforcement and law and order by these leftists that will continue to ratchet up until these people are put away.

#11  And if you don't think these people are capable of it, you can be assured the kind of people they are importing as "refugees" from some of the most violent areas of the world certainly are capable. The active point blank assassinations of our law enforcement officers encouraged by the left will soon come to any right wing person near you in a position of power. Sometimes known as Jihad. You people need to wake.

#12  If you were to actually support working families and the security of the country, that would be an enormous change of direction.

#13  And if you don't think these people are capable of it, you can be assured the kind of people they are importing as "refugees" from some of the most violent areas of the world certainly are capable.

They were called Hessian mercenaries the first time. Trenton and Bennington come to mind. I don't think the areas you are referring to had a 2d Amendment. Break the leash and find out what the Hessians found out.
Posted by: Procopius2k || 12/05/2016 9:08 Comments || Top||

#14  The Hessians did not import their entire families and were appropriated entire communities to lay claim to. And neither does thier King George live across the sea.

#15  It's like having "YouKnowWho" running the German military in WW2. How can we possibly lose? That there is our best asset.

#17  She's lying. She knows damn well that people are getting wise to her. She just hopes she can keep fooling enough of the people enough of the time.

#18  So San Fran Nan is actually renouncing "Hope and Change?"
Posted by: Sock Puppet of Doom || 12/05/2016 12:17 Comments || Top||

#19  SanFranNan is only looking to add a few more feathers to her nest.

If she maintains or increases her power that's just gravy.
