WASHINGTON D.C. (CBS SF) Two Democratic stalwarts from Massachusetts are suggesting that Rep. Nancy Pelosi should leave the partys leadership team in Congress after big electoral loses last year and in 2010.
Reps. Michael Capuano and Stephen Lynch made the statements on WGBHs Greater Boston, with Lynch predicting outright that Nancy Pelosi will not lead us back into the majority. Asked by host Jim Braude if the answer to the question whether Pelosi should go? is yes, Lynch said, Right.
Capuano was also asked if the 75-year-old Pelosi should quit leadership ranks. He said: That, or she should change, one way or the other.
Pelosi responded to those comments on Wednesday touching on her ties to the White House.
One of the concerns that some of those people have is that they think Im working too closely with President Obama and thats what theyre about, she said.
Pelosis Senate Democratic counterpart Harry Reid, who is 75, recently announced that hes not seeking re-election.
Each of the top three House Democratic leaders is in his or her 70s.
They’ll be called Racists ,LOL
Not if they back the venerable Shiela Jackson Lee as her replacement.
If those Progressive Democrat morons legalize the votes of millions of illegal aliens, they’ll be in power forever.
IMHO
Why are they bringing this up now, five months after the midterms? We already know both parties wanted to changed their leadership, but that didn’t happen. The only good thing Boehner has done from my point of view is to invite Netanyahu to speak to Congress, in open defiance of the White House. I was proud of him for once.
Otherwise, it’s like having a Dagwood Bumpstead and Blondie as party leaders, and if you know that comic book character, you know he was notoriously henpecked.
They'd just replace her with someone even more radical.
Say what you will about her, she's a relentless fund raiser, it's how she's survived so long.
To the Dems.
Please keep Nancy around and in power for your side.
She is perfect for another old leftie, the one who destroyed her illegal server.
In that case, Stay Pelosi!
It seems to me Democrats have a knack for picking the wrong people for leadership and now it looks like they picked Schumer (Madoff’s BFF and his SEC cover http://www.politico.com/blogs/glennthrush/0210/Schumer_denies_report_he_called_SEC_on_Madoff_probe.html ), as Harry Reid’s replacement. Maybe they can find a leadership spot for Menendez and his Florida pal and some underage Latino girl friends as staffers.
With 330 million people in the USA why are the political elites stuck fishing and picking from the stinking cesspool?
Scalia?
Stop the clock!
So how many years did it take for blind-leading-the-blind Dems to figure that out that Pelosi is not an asset to the abbey?
Also, I cannot figure out a way to blame the 17th Amendment for Pelosi but that amendment needs to disappear anyway.
No s#!t Sherlock. However I say keep her pleeez. Just don’t let her talk. It’s like fingernails on a blackboard.
Doesn't Maxine Waters have seniority on Lee? I think the Dems should go with her.
Oh please pick Debby Blabbermouth Schultz.
The real culprits for failure are Obama and Schultz.
