Democrats win House, promise new direction
POSTED: 6:05 p.m. EST, November 8, 2006

(CNN) — Democrats promised Wednesday to lead the country in a new direction after winning control of the House for the first time in 12 years in midterm elections.

By early Wednesday, Democrats had picked up at least 29 seats; they needed 15 to capture a majority in the House. Two Democratic seats in Georgia that were targeted by Republicans remained too close to call.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-California, is now poised to become the first female speaker of the House.

Pelosi promised to lead the nation in a new direction “in partnership, not in partisanship.”

Madoff stole $21 billion, and the judge described it as “exceptionally evil” and “the biggest ponzi scheme he had ever seen.”

By contrast, $29 billion is stolen from taxpayers every year to finance the global warming ponzi scheme.

News sources on both sides of the aisle (Guardian and Fox News) understand that Obama can’t be trusted to tell the truth about anything.

But when it comes to climate, both of their collective brains go numb, and they think they have to believe the White House.

Drought severity and area has declined sharply in the US since the 12th century. The exact opposite of what Obama claims.
