1. In secret, unopposed,

the Democratic way.

Shouldn't need it, but

2. I should hope a caucus meeting would be closed.

But I suppose "secret" sounds more sinister.

4. I glad you approve of secret ballots. ~ nt

3. Great news. Take the same and do the same thing and hope different results.

Is it not the definitition of insanity ?

We may be stuck with her for a very long time as she said she would run UNTIL she gets the gavel back. Another of the stupid comments she delivered in the last two weeks, but of course, if nobody else runs, how can we get somebody else.

5. you know in a dictatorship you only get 1 choice but in this great democracy we get

2 choices.

[2banon]

6. Expected, but sorry to read it confirmed.

I can't stand to listen to her speak on the time of day.

It's unfortunate that we can't have honest, intelligent, articulate, clear, direct speaking WOMEN representatives as the General Rule rather than as a Rarity.

I really just don't get it.

7. Happy Days Are Here Again.

So long sad times
Go long bad times
We are rid of you at last

Howdy gay times
Cloudy gray times
You are now a thing of the past

Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So let's sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again

Altogether shout it now
There's no one
Who can doubt it now
So let's tell the world about it now
Happy days are here again

Your cares and troubles are gone
There'll be no more from now on
From now on ...

Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So, Let's sing a song of cheer again

Happy times
Happy nights
Happy days
Are here again!

8. I like and respect Pelosi, but she's just not what is needed in that position.

The Democrats need someone more confrontational.

[Ykcutnek]

9. "She's too old. We need a fresh face!"

Said no real liberal, ever.

[bigwillq]

12. We need a fresh face.

Signed,

A real liberal

[Ykcutnek]

13. Crow's feet shouldn't disqualify a strong female leader from leading.

Signed,

A real liberal

[bigwillq]

19. Age is not a factor for me.

Leadership skills are. And I think Pelosi's time has come and gone.

Signed,

A real liberal

10. She will squirm and roll for the GOP just like she did last time.

[moondust]

14. Can you cite some specifics please? n/t

[nilesobek]

15. My main complaint with her is the spying issue.

She has voted in lockstep with the GOP. I just think she's in too deep to get out now in the secrets department. How can someone like that represent us?

[moondust]

18. Well,

the spying issue is complex IMO. It's a dangerous, interconnected world with the likes of Putin, al Baghdadi encouraging ISIS converts everywhere to unleash "volcanoes of jihad," and many others desperate for wealth, power, and attention. I don't know what the answer is.

I've never had many problems with Pelosi but I don't follow it real close. You may be right.

Thx.

[bigwillq]

11. Yuck.

The DEM party needs new leadership, imo.

[moriah]

16. Wow, neither Democrats nor Republicans like Nancy Pelosi.

Kind of sad.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

17. I used to like Pelosi, but her reluctance to criticize President Chimp Sphincter

really soured me on her. When Pelosi proudly stated that Democrats never treated George Bush the way Republicans are treating Barack Obama, it should have been cause for shame. She should have gone after Bush at every freakin minute, with both barrels. And while I don't think impeachment works, she should not have seemed so delighted during Bush's term to tell us it was completely off the table.

Anyway, I think it's long past the time for new blood.
