Confused Elderly Woman Unsure About Which Party Won Election
Nancy Pelosi thinks the Democrats actually won.
When asked about her vow to win 25 seats back from the Republicans, the elderly lady who has her good moments and her bad moments becomes confused and confuses "winning 25 seats back" with "winning half of the 25 seats in play," almost all of which were Democratic seats.Well, we did have 25 seats in play and we’ve won 13 or 14 of them. We’ve won a majority of those seats. We lost seven freshmen and we lost three -- [Tim] Bishop, [Nick] Rahall and [John] Barrow. Fabulous people who won in tough districts over and over again. But remember what I said then, it's like the Olympics, it's a little bit on one side, it'll be a fraction of a second, fraction of an inch. That’s how it came down. Of that 25, I think it's 14 of them that we have won. There's one that it's a loss for us, but it wasn't an incumbent. It was Bruce Braley's seat. So that's another seat. But it wasn't an incumbent, it was just that he didn’t win his own district. But in terms of people who are not coming back, it's nine, no 10. It's 10. It’s the three and then seven. Now, we’ll see what happens. They won 10, we won about 14 of them. . . . Of course, no one likes to see their colleagues leave and you don't want to lose, but of those 25 races, we won 14 and lost 10.The confused elderly woman was reportedly walking aimlessly up and down the street and also being reelected as leader of the House Democrats.

She is overwhelmingly popular and would be reelected until the day she dies and then probably for several decades after that as well.

Seriously, though, if Emperor Barack I had ended up somewhere in the Pacific trying to swim home from Australia, it'd have been a win for the US, because no matter how dim one thinks Veepie Joe is, he's a far more adept political animal than Barry, he gets along with legislators, and he'd be looking toward his own election prospects in 2016.

That's funny cuz it's true in a way. What did Boner and McConnell do less than 12 hours after the election? Basically said we're going to do whatever Obama wants us to do in the name of compromise and bipartisanship.
When Dems lose they act like they win. But that's only because Republicans act like they lost.

Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco
We here at TLC realize that our fabulous new hit series Sarah Palin's Alaska may not appeal to all our viewers. We understand that a substantial segment of the population has no interest in watching Sarah Palin or taking a tour of Alaska.
And so it is with great pleasure that we'd like to announce a new show carefully designed to appeal to those of you who don't like Sarah Palin, her state, or her values:
Come join Nancy Pelosi as she shows you around the wild places of her home district. All the sights and sounds of San Francisco, as you've never seen them before. . .with Nancy as your guide!
(Programming note: All the photos and videos in this show were taken in Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco congressional district, and originally posted on zombietime. For real.)
Settle into your couch, and brace yourself for an adventure with Nancy. . ."
...followed by the most eye-popping collection of images you will ever see

Looking ahead, Pelosi tapped Rep. Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) to lead the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, putting him in charge of recruiting new candidates and winning back seats in 2016, when the presidential election should make it easier for Democrats to turn out supporters.
Luján teared up and spoke in Spanish as he accepted the job at a press conference on Monday. He will be a much younger face alongside Pelosi, 74, Hoyer, 75, and Clyburn, 74.

All I see over there are libs saying "a majority didn't vote, so who cares?"
Two things.
(a) winning an election when 56% of eligible voters voted = absolute mandate.
(ii) winning an election when about 40% of eligible voters voted = pathetic, worthless, hollow victory, not representing the will of the people.
(4) IF YOU CAN'T GET YOUR PEOPLE TO THE POLLS, YOU WON'T WIN!

And it wasn't just Mooch. A couple of other prominent Democrats made the exact same mistake with his surname. Braley has to have been sitting there thinking, "How did I let myself get roped into joining this clown circus?"

Seriously, though, if Emperor Barack I had ended up somewhere in the Pacific trying to swim home from Australia, it'd have been a win for the US, because no matter how dim one thinks Veepie Joe is, he's a far more adept political animal than Barry, he gets along with legislators, and he'd be looking toward his own election prospects in 2016.

I've actually worked to understand it and occasionally someone gives me some insight. I once wrote up quite a long comment regarding all the various factors of which I am aware regarding why Jewish people tend to vote socialist.
The one that I thought was most salient was the observation that "socialism" is just tribal thinking on a larger scale, and that Jews have long thought of themselves as members of tribes.
Thinking along the lines of a tribe comes natural for them because it's part of their culture.
There's more to it, but I think this is the most significant insight.

Well yeah, that's why SS if fucked. It was built on a premise of people living 5-10 years after retiring not 20-30 years like they do now.

Just one, Gary Peters. But they definitely lost some that could use reassurance they'll get good lobbying jobs in 2015.

I think this nation was on the brink of going hard left long before McVeigh made his appearance. 1994 was the last gasp of the "old DC" before the leftist structure took complete control. It was also the last election before all the chillren from the public school indoctrination centers became old enough to vote. I don't think McVeigh really changed much at all concerning national politics. The course was already set.

No, I don't think Clinton or any other power broker group had anything to do with him. I think he was a random nutburger who had a vision of the possible, and possessed more guts than sense.
He created a very bad setback for what would be regarded as the Tea Party Movement back in 1995.
