House Democrats re-elect Pelosi as minority leader

Democrats re-elected Rep. Nancy Pelosi to another two-year term as House minority leader on Tuesday, two weeks after elections in which the party lost at least a dozen seats in the chamber.

In a closed-door meeting of House Democrats, Pelosi was re-elected by voice vote in a race in which she faced no challenger. The California Democrat has been party leader in the chamber since 2003, including four years in which she was the first female House speaker.

No. 2 House Democrat Steny Hoyer of Maryland and the party's other top leaders also were re-elected without a challenge.

"What we want are initiatives that help the American people, that reduce the anxiety because it reduces the income disparity," Pelosi told reporters after her election.

But touching on the need that Democrats see to improve their message to voters, she said that while it's important to address people's needs, "It's another thing, also, to make sure the public understands what is going on."

Proves that once a Democrat always a Democrat. Once an idiot always an idiot.

She's one goofy skank that much is certain. You would think the democrats would at least put someone in a leadership position with class, but as their fellow democrat Gruber said, they are stupid.
I think the reason is because she's your typical democrat woman, a man (Obama) says jump and Pelosi being as all democrat women are, slaves to men, jumps without question.
