Pelosi dismisses Dem losses in Virginia and New Jersey

Most House Democrats tried to put a good face on Tuesday’s election results, saying they picked up two more votes for a sweeping health care bill that could be on the floor as early as Friday.

But it can’t make it any easier for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as she works to corral the last holdouts she needs to pass legislation overhauling the nation’s health care system.

Of course, the speaker, who told POLITICO recently she’s “not big on showing weakness,” brushed aside questions about how the Democratic gubernatorial losses in Virginia and New Jersey would impact her final tally and instead trumpeted the two special election House wins.

“From our perspective, we won last night,” the California Democrat told reporters during a Wednesday photo op. “We had one race that we were engaged in, it was in northern New York, it was a race where a Republican has held the seat since the Civil War. And we won that seat. So, from our standpoint, no, a candidate was victorious who supports health care reform, and his remarks last night said this was a victory for health care reform and other initiatives for the American people.”

“From our standpoint, we picked up votes last night,” a cheerful Pelosi said, “one in California and one in New York.”

Regarding NY-23,

no one seems to be discussing the fact that this election only covers the
one year,
the time left over from a previous elected’s term.

Owens will have to run for this seat again in 2010, and I am not alone in hoping Hoffman will remain on board.

Methinks Nancy missed the forest for the trees.

Is there anything to the rumor of botox caused dementia?

it must have something to do with the “position” because Hillary acts JUST like HASTERT to me! (totally complicit, totally enabling, willing to lie, pompous, selfish & blind)

must be the position (was TIP like that?)

I still can’t shake the feeling that this election in New York was stolen by invalid votes.

In Baghdad Bob’s defense, he probably had a gun at his back. Nancy is just an i d i o t or else is entering her second childhood.

I can’t help it, everytime I watch Nazi Pelosi I’m reminded of this:

Creepy, huh?

The Actual Bad Sign for Democrats

Ben Adler
Newsweek,
Nov. 4, 2009

Unlike the New York City mayoral, or the Virginia governor’s race, there is a really bad sign for Democrats out of the East Coast. Via The New York Times, Republicans made inroads in New York’s suburbs. “In Westchester County, where Democrats have a solid advantage in voter registration, a Republican challenger, Rob Astorino, upset the incumbent Democratic County Executive, Andrew Spano, who was seeking his fourth term … In Nassau County, Republicans recaptured the county legislature, and have come close to unseating the Democratic County Executive, Thomas R. Suozzi, in a race that remained too close to call on Wednesday morning.”

Why does this matter so much? Because the New York suburbs epitomize the new Blue America. Twenty-some-odd years ago, the economically diverse, but generally affluent, suburbs in Westchester and Long Island represented the success of the Reagan Revolution. White ethnics, often Catholic, whose parents had lived in the city and voted Democratic, were turning to Republicans for lower taxes, strong national security, and traditional family values. But the New York suburbs led the way back to Democratic dominance, arguably presaging the Obama coalition. Pro-gun-control candidates such as Rep. Carolyn McCarthy from Long Island started picked up seats in the 1990s. Growing diversity and concerns about education in the postindustrial economy helped lead to Democratic inroads in local races.

During the Democrats most recent identity crises, after they lost the 2004 election, New York Sen. Chuck Schumer wrote a whole book about how Democrats can and should appeal to voters like the ones in the New York suburbs. He knows just how important they are: traditionally in New York politics, the city votes heavily Democratic and upstate favors Republicans. The suburbs decide elections.

Well..the policy of this IMMATURE MAN-CHILD’S agenda is to DENY..DELAY..DISTRACT…then repeat the three D’s until know one knows what the hell they are talking about..It’s been there MO since his campaign began! NancyPee is just following the rules of the three D’s!!

This is all due to the Blame game they can no longer use bc it no longer works bc he is now the ManChildInChief..he owns it now as the article by Peggy N. said!

PS…LJ…this post is so funny, yet so sad that she can’t even admit the truth!

I saw that also. What is she smoking? That NY race was a nutty deal, but VA and NJ were clear defeats. I wonder what they say when they are all by themselves???

Oh geez, they got their clocked cleaned and they still cant admit it, now they are even boasting they are 2-0 against Palin. *LOL*

Exactly what was it that Palin run for again I must of missed that information. *LOL*

rofl OMG, the Democrats just want to make sure you know they are so full of it and that they indeed LIE at the drop of a hat.

…in drag, I knew he looked familiar!

i’ll never use botox. see what it does?

Nancy needs a new acting coach. Her enthusiasm is painful to watch.

Btw, I picked up an interesting tidbit on Bill Owens, the candidate that kept the Dems from being completely trounced last night. I’d heard that Owens was a “moderate” Dem. Turns out he wasn’t a Dem at all before August of this year. He was a moderate to conservative Indie before this election.

Here’s a few quotes:

“My beliefs and principles are essentially Democratic beliefs and principles, and what label you want to slide on me I don’t think is necessarily appropriate.”

Well, gee. That sounds like me and I’ve been told a thousand times I’m not a “real” Dem.

And on health care:

Owens took a decidedly moderate line on health care restructuring, saying he does not support a public option available to anyone–the crux of the restructuring put forward by President Obama.

and,

“The bill that I would vote for would have a couple of elements to it. It would cover the uninsured, it would eliminate the ability to exclude for a pre-existing condition, and also that focuses on cost-reduction.”

Hey, I could vote “yes” on that, too.

So, let the progs keep telling themselves what a fantastic “win” this was.

They voted in a fiscal conservative.

Like me!!

Hahahaha.

Thanks for the tidbits, Peggy Sue.

After NJ & VA, she thinks there’s 60 votes in the Senate for a public option? Is she nuts?

I lived in the 23rd District of NY for many years. I will bet anyone that if the moderate Republican had remained in the race, there still would be a Republican in that seat. The area is filled with what we used to call “Rockefeller Republicans”–now known as “moderate Republicans.” What I think this election demonstrated is that Americans don’t want to support either extreme in either party. The far Right and the far Left will not get support. (BO was a celebrity pick…not a political one.) That’s why so many of us have left one party or the other and call ourselves Independents. We want the children and their childishness to go fight in a corner while we adults met in the center to work out our differences….

I had to ask myself if dear Nan was lying or just woefully ignorant when she made the statement that Repubs had held that seat “since the Civil War”. That war ended almost 150 years ago.

Oh wait. Maybe she just doesn’t remember things from her childhood.

I feel no compunction to defend Pelosi because of gender, and she has proven to be a major disappointment as Speaker.
Appearances are deceiving, she is reportedly a cursing viper when riled.
Now, she plans to grand-stand this health care destruction bill on Saturday. How Hollywood!
I watched part of the U.S.S. New York presentation on Fox this morning. What a contrast to see patriotic professionals interviewed, as opposed to the lame-brains who are in control of this country!

Nancy or…as you just referred to her, “Baghdad Bob”..I loved that, laughed out loud on that one..
Anywho, she made the statement that a Democrat has not held this seat since 1857…this woman is a serious “serialliar”…big time…A Congressman by the name of Michael R. McNulty (D) held this seat from 1989 to 1993…he replaced Congressman Statton who resigned because of sickenss. McNulty did (2) additional terms representing R23 before redistricting. I am so sick of this woman’s lies..I think we need to put a “Fast Checker” on the Speaker of the House..lol.

these people followed McNulty
Michael R. McNulty Democratic 1989 – 1993
Sherwood Boehlert Republican 1993 – 2003
John M. McHugh Republican 2003 – 2009
