    I’m definitely with those who want her to remain the leader. I don’t want some “moderate” Democrat becoming the face of the party and fooling anyone.

      There are no more moderate democrats. They are all figments of what I was once, a democrat that was tossed under the bus when Progressiveism overtook them as it is trying to overtake the Republican Party today. McCain is a Progressive as was “W”. We need to awaken and wake up our neighbors to the danger that lurks in the “Shadow” government closets. They released their pawns and they now are sscreaming for laws to protect themselves from harassment from the God fearing people. Most are atheist and some are just misguided characters that have been brainwashed into believing their un-natural habits are proper for the majority of the populace. I once thought that maybe they would become extinct in three to gour generations. Then they were allowed to adopt children to continue their activist agenda’s. God bless the USA. This bunch of Soros admirers will not do anything other than destroy it.

    Heath Shuler is my representative. A man I voted against twice. He was allowed (along with many of his freshman class of dems) to vote against the Pelosi agenda on everything but cap and tax. He voted for that monstrosity, and if his true colors are known would have voted for all the rest of this huge spending. Yet, he talks a good game, is one of the surviving blue dogs. But, these remaining dogs are just yellow, too afraid to vote their liberal minds all the time. We can get rid of this one next time around.

    based on what we have learned from Beck this week and the puppet master it is my belief the hard progressives have to have her in power. That‘s why they don’t care about all the reasons she shouldn‘t be and we all know the list is so long you can’t understand why she doesn’t get it. Radicals don’t give up power…that is why they are so dangerous.

    Heath would be better then Pelosi but he’s still going to be the wrong choice. Yeah Schuler voted against most of Obamas main agenda items although he did voted for Cap and Trade which is completely unacceptable in my book. If he does become Minority leader he will move more towards the center of the party which will make him more Liberal.

    You see – Pelosi is what happens when you inject Botox into your face for so many years — it starts to seep into your brain, then you get high off of it and start saying weird conceited things and you make weird conceited decisions.

    But yeah – I’m the reason why republicans vote Tea Party..

    Don’t wish to burst your bubble, sir, but Ms. Pelosi will not step aside. She leaves destruction in her wake like a tsunami. Her back-handed policies have condemned many to the trash heap. I might read a little more of her history to see what led her down this path–besides narcissism, egoism etc. Two-thirds of the time what she says does not even make sense! How is it, no-one can see through this pretentious sociopathic-like personality? I know- too much singular power and sycophantic acknowledgement. What is it with these people?

After all, it’s all about the party and power, the people be damned. We must ALL be more involved and diligent in keep the politicians feet to the fire. Don’t slack off for one moment or both parties will go back to business as usual. Write your Representatives and Senators as much as possible about the issues.

      I can’t decide if keeping Pelosi in a position of any power and fully riding her party into the ground is worth it or if Schuler, a very conservativer Dem from NC, would be better since he MAY get a couple things actually accomplished in a non-partisan manner. Then again, what is left of the Dems is larger in its liberal views than the moderate ones… meh, Keep the witch in, she can only help kill the dems faster.
