Her "head in the sand" mentality and refusual to evaluate the real-world impacts on voters works in everyone's favor. She can continue on her delusional little world and pull the remnants of the democratic party even further to the left. She thereby destroys any support the party had among the vast majority of thinking, moderate members of the population.

I'm being a bit facious, a viable 2-party system can lead to an exchange of ideas. I was pretty optimistic about the so-called "blue dog" democrats with a promise of fiscal responsibility that appealed to a lot of the population. Unfortunately, Pelosi and rest of the rabid left of the party cost them their seats.

Democrats lost because of media witch hunts. Which is the same reason repubs lost.

Whatever the media is against, the public is against. Sad truth of America.

Stop the whining Nancy.

You are a complete an utter failure from day one.

You promised us jobs, lower oil prices, etc etc and got us nothing.

You resided over the worst congress in American history with 4 years of not one single major accomplishment over 4 years.

Your failures, lies, corruption, wasteful spending and debt is why you were canned.

Handed an 800 billion dollar checkbook and SCREWED IT UP TOO!

Get lost and thank you for making the people of America realize that liberalism is not the way to go in America!

And once republicans fully take over again, in the next election season, America will realize that conservatism is not the way to go in America.

Why?

Because that's the way the media will spin it.

Whoever is in power, the media will be against.

The media flows with the tide. Like any other retailer, it sells whatever is selling.
I've heard many people claim over the years that the media manipulates but it seems to me that they simply tell their audience what they want to hear. As the Obama administration delivered one failure after another, all except the die-hards were pushed away. The media actually seemed a little slow this time. They didn't start turning on last year's political darlings till several months of opinion polling indicated the wind was shifting. All media is aimed at a specific target audience and will change it's tune according to what their target audience wants to hear.

Mean while back in the real world. Nancy has not a clue what day of the week it is never mind the real reasons for the mess we have right now. She is a step-ford wife, with a recorded message in her mouth. "It is Bush's fault" beep "It is Bush's fault" beep.

The woman needs a some serious meds.
