Time for Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to go
The Boston Globe ^ | November 12, 2014 | By Scot Lehigh

Posted on 11/11/2014 5:00:11 PM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

IN POLITICS, there’s nothing harder than realizing that it’s time to go.

For Democrats Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, that moment has arrived. With the Democrats’ midterm losses, the two 74-year-olds should announce that when this session of Congress ends, they will relinquish their roles as leaders of their respective Democratic caucuses.

And if Reid and Pelosi don’t soon come to the conclusion on their own that it’s time to bow out?

Well, then, their fellow Democrats, recognizing that you can’t begin a new era with old leaders, should let both know that the time has come to go.

I think they should both be asked some questions about Obamacare.

Were you in on the scam or were you fooled?

Either answer is pretty damning.

"Yes, the Boston Globe."

In that case, DON'T GO. The Globe just hates old white rich people.

Shhh! Don’t say nothing, they along with their dear leader are doing such a fine job of destroying the democrat party and it SO needs to be destroyed completely and forever.

It seems to me that if the House Dems retain Pelosi, and the Senate retains Reid, it validates Gruber’s comments, and by default it means that Congressional Democrats also agree.

Bart Stupak appears to have known something was up.

He was the last hold out and immediately announced his retirement after voting for it. He also got a prized full partnership with the premier DC lobbying form of Venable LLP.

Yes, they need to go. With respect to Boehner, all politics aside, he would be judged unfit to be President should something happen to both O’bumma and Plugs. Boehner is a drunk and that alone disqualifies him from being put into higher office during a national emergency.

No. They are both perfect representations of the Democrat Party. They should stay and remind everyone of 0bamaCare, the economy and so many other things.

If Barry is going to veto everything, the GOP might just as well spend ALL of their time holding hearings and putting DemocRATS in prison. They can start with Lerner, Jarrett and the IRS.
