Pelosi kept on as Democratic House Leader?

Before Republicans took back control of the U.S. House of Representatives, there was substantial discussion among both Republicans and Democrats in Congress that they wanted to remove House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, regardless of either party winning the majority.

Now that John Boehner has taken over her job, many in America can have at least a sigh of relief that we no longer have to listen to her anymore. But now that does not seem to be the case.

What has become a surprising turn of events is that House Democrats are now defending Nancy Pelosi and have decided to keep her on as the Democratic House Minority Leader when the new Congress resumes in January. Looks like the American people will still have to put up with the same horrible grinning mouth, and those eyes that look like a deer trapped in headlights, and refusing to move the hell out of the way.

Mrs. Pelosi has probably been the most ineffective Speaker of the House that this country has ever had. For someone who is to have a dialogue on behalf of Congress, the very people representing America, she demonstrated having possibility the worst communication skills of any high ranking politician in this country, maybe with the exception of President Bush after her party took over in 2007. This is the same Nancy Pelosi, by the way, who said at that time to “intend to have the most honest, most open and most ethical Congress in history.” Do any of the House Democrats remember this crap that was spewed then?

It is quite apparent that this Congress has had little honest, open or ethical qualities. The Congress did nothing in the last few years of the Bush Administration, and allowed policies which lead quickly to the financial disaster of 2008, and basically acted as a bunch of sock puppets for the Obama Administration, refused to listen to a majority of Americans that disapproved of this Administration’s policies, and speaking of ethics, Mrs. Pelosi seems to be entirely in defense of Congressman Charlie Rangel.

It would really be interesting to ask why Democrats kept her on as their supreme leader and what is the motive? Despite all of the criticism and disapproval of many Americans, you would think they could elect at least a Democrat that knows how to speak fluently and effectively, someone like Dennis Kucinich, who is not a rubberstamp like most of the other members of Congress.

But that was not the case. Instead, Democrats raced to her aid and recycled her into their ‘old/new’ Minority Leader. Oh my, do I feel sorry for House Democrats…
