Nancy Pelosi, leader of the House Democrats, said she had enough votes to become speaker of the House.
Nancy Pelosi Says She Has the Votes to Become House Speaker
At least 17 Democrats have said they are opposed to Ms. Pelosi, the House Democratic leader, returning to the speaker post.

.....

Someone, please tell me how this isn't sexist and demeaning to every woman in Congress. Please tell me why this person is being taken seriously for any reason other than that he's a white man.

1. He really wants to replace her with himself but is trying a mis-direction ploy.

[mcar]

2. He's got quite an ego and sense of privilege, doesn't he?

Has he accomplished anything in Congress?

[Blaukraut]

3. Females? This guy needs to really come back down to earth

[mcar]

6. Points for the Ferengi reference

[liberalmuse]

4. "Females"

Men who refer to women with this term (instead of, you know, “womem”) lean towards the misogynistic.

5. You should be defending her. Nt

7. Excuse me?

I should be defending her?

[BootinUp]

8. Not you, Ryan of course. Nt

[mcar]

10. Ahh, got it

[fierywoman]

9. Competent?!? We need Machiavellian right now, which Pelosi is.

[hedda_foil]

11. You said it, fierywoman!

[brush]

13. Yep, mere competence won't cut it against these cutthroat repugs.

[Iggo]

12. Binders full of them. (n/t)

[Lunabell]

16. Oh, ya beat me to it.

This is exactly what came to mind.

[demmiblue]

21. Same. n/t

[Hermit-The-Prog]

18. Romney & P. Ryan love child?

[Doreen]

14. He probably wants a woman who he can control.

Pelosi is a pit bull and will not be intimidated or bought out by anyone of any party. We need her at least for awhile. We need to have her because she has knowledge of the games and tricks the repukes play and knows how to work at countering it. If you feel you MUST have her out then let her find that person and train them. At this time we CAN NOT risk getting an inexperienced lamb.

[Hekate]

15. This Tim Ryan person needs to STFU and let the grownups talk about real things. nt

[peggysue2]

17. Sure because . . .

Pelosi is so very disposable, easily replaced. What a frigging douche!

It's time for these FIVE GUYs to get their egos in check and stand down or get the hell out of the way.

There's work to be done, important work. Like saving the country.

I'd suggest they look around; they're shedding support for this nonsense at lightening speed.

19. Tim Ryan was Anti Choice and Anti Gun Control until just about a couple years ago

when he decided to go after Pelosi .
