Speaker Pelosi, Please Turn in Your Gavel

Fox News, MSNBC and CNN are now projecting that the GOP will take control of the US House of Representatives.

So who wants to be the one to wrestle that gavel away from Nancy? Should be fun to watch.

Convincing her won’t be easy though:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tonight rejected numerous polls predicting a Republican landslide among House candidates and defiantly predicted that Democrats will retain control of the House of Representatives.

“The early returns and overwhelming number of Democrats who are coming out – we’re on pace to maintain a majority in the House of Representatives,” Pelosi told reporters during a photo op in Washington.

Clearly Pelosi’s going to have some issues to work through with her therapist in the coming weeks.

    Can you just hear her rant after the night is done? I imagine it will be full of vulgarity and expletives.

    If she decides to retire, I’ll shed no tears.

    Nah, it’s probably covered somewhere in the behemoth that is Obamacare.

    I bet they’ll have to drag her kicking and screaming off her plane though.

    I’ve been saying for quite some time I think folks are smoking peyote if they think we could get anywhere near 90 – 100 seats or topple any of the iconic figures (to the Left) like Frank. There’s a reason those folks have been in power for decades. The country simply isn’t as “center-right” as so many say, especially in those places where the Franks of the world thrive.

    May God make me wrong on this, but I think we need more clarity on where folks are really at in this country and the reality is that we have a generation or two of incipient to outright socialists that need to be evangelized.

    Amen. The libs would not know what hit them. He is black, military-take-no-prisoners and tells it like it is, and is conservative. Heads would spin.

    I guess I may not get my wish of Reid looking all depressed, but Pelosi on lithium will be good enough. Her famous glass ceiling just shattered all over her Armani suit. No more Air Force escorts for you and family, Madame Speaker.

    Party on.

    Even though I don’t expect anything good to happen in my libtard state of CA, I am SO HAPPY that I don’t have to look at San Fran Nan anymore come January as speaker.

    I am VERY happy for Rand Paul, Rubio, etc. Hoping we can pick up a couple of more senate seats. Really disappointed in WV.

    John Hawkins is expressing surprise at some of the losses and saying “Wow, we can’t lose these seats or we won’t be able to hit the 70 – 80 seats I predicted!” I’ll be surprised if we hit 65 and joyous for that!

    Its not stupidity that gets guys like Hickenlooper and Barny the Dino elected its greed. Many of those in the Denver and Boulder area have no problem with the liberal agenda since they think they will benefit from it. They simply don’t see that stealing from others is wrong so long as they are the ones getting the loot. I wish we could separate that area from the rest of the state and let them fail.

    I know it does not change matters but it is unfortunately, the only solace I have to offer in response to such actions.

    To be honest, it kind of scares me that the GOP sweep wasn’t more decisive. I live in Congressman-elect Allen West’s district and he won 54% of the vote. That means 46% of the people around me are utter morons.

    Actually, that seems about right.

    God help us.

    Yeah, look at the Senate map by county. Only 3 counties went for Reid, the rest solidly for Angle.
