Dems Defy Pelosi, Pick Hoyer Over Murtha

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A week after winning back control of the U.S. Congress, divided Democrats in the House defied incoming speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday and elected Steny Hoyer to be majority leader, a Democratic Party aide said.The vote wasn't even close: 149-86. The only thing more surprising than this resounding rebuke to the new Speaker is Pelosi's stupidity in endorsing the baggage-laden Murtha in the first place.
Via Stop the ACLU.

I suspect she isn't as dumb as we might have hoped. She fulfilled her obligation to repay him for his prior loyalty to her and then she gets a better co-conspirator.

So, who were the ones who supported Murtha? I suspect that, if Pelosi has any say over it, those 80-odd Representatives are going to be handsomely paid off.
Certainly, that'll be true for Sanchez and Kucinich and those who nominated Murtha.

Shows the stupidity of the Pelosi bitch. Nothing more. Don't give her credit for being a dumbass. The self destruction of the democratic party has begun.

That over a third of Democrats voted for Murtha is disturbing enough in
itself. I'll betcha I could go down the list and without even
checking pick out every single one that voted for him alphabetically.

Do you morons really think that this is significant?
When the Republicans do it, no one seems to care, but when the Democrats do it, it's infighting?
You might want to go back and check your congressional history to see who has had the most "infights" over leadership positions.
The answer may surprise you.
As for me, I don't really give a shit, whether it's Republicans or Democrats doing it.
It's all just part of the democratic process and hasn't destroyed either party, yet.

No, you get the credit for being the biggest dumbass.
Check out the history of congressional leadership elections, before you come back here with more meaningless bullshit.
And while you are focused on the so-called Democratic "infighting", in congress, you have not noticed that it didn't take President Moron long to break his promise to "work with the Democrats".
His hope of enacting any of his agenda is fading fast, as he continues to lie to congress and the American people.
He is a lame duck with 2 broken legs and will never recover, ensuring his place in history as the worst President in US history.
And he will have guys like you to thank for it.

Puddleduck, what you don't understand is no one cares what you think
anymore. You've never delivered an opinion without first
belittling others in the thread with childish name calling.
You've revealed nothing about your opponents more than your own
personality flaws and inability to rise above guttersniping. Get
over it.

Yeah, Dick, I'm still breathing.
They haven't been able to sufficate me, yet.
Haven't heard from you, in a while.
How are you doing?
BTW - yes, I'm still "nuts".
