Defeated Democrats Pen Letter to Implore Pelosi to step aside
FOX News ^ | Nov 8, 2010 | Chad Pergram

Posted on 11/08/2010 7:29:42 AM PST by BAW

OX has obtained a letter being penned by defeated House Democrats that implores House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to step aside.

The letter is now circulating Capitol Hill and has not yet been sent to the Speaker. FOX has obtained draft language of the letter.

In the draft of the letter, the members say that they were "victimized by a national wave of resentment toward Democrats, a wave that ensnared you along with us."

The letter goes on to say "Madam Speaker, fairly or unfairly, Republicans made you the face of the resentment and disagreement in our races. While we commend your years of service to our party and your leadership through many tough times, we respectfully ask that you step aside as the top Democrat in the House."

The letter says that the defeated members "fear that Republicans will further demonize you, and in so doing, they will scare potential candidates out. The prospect of having to run against their own party leadership, in addition to their Republican opponent is simply too daunting."

The lawmakers also say that "one mark of a strong leader is the ability to discern when it is time to pass the baton" and calls this a "dark hour."

The letter closes asking Pelosi to step aside.

I think it’s time we switch to hot appetizers.

Lil Smokies in crescent rolls are really good.

No sympathy for the "defeated Democrats". Those scumbags should have thought of this before they enabled the Pelosi/Ubama communism machine to inflict untold damage on America. They thought normal, taxpaying, traditional American families wouldn't notice?

Screw them.

“..getting popcorn. This will be fun to watch...”

I will be having a beer with my popcorn!

I just love it when the Russian Revolution eats its own children.

I wonder if the Republicans will walk the street like Peloski and her minions did, when they won control of the house?

Those dems always try to find someone to blame for their actions. Just take responsibility for your actions and your votes and realize that the way you voted was not what the people wanted it was the way Pelosi wanted you to vote and like any good lemming you followed her and now you have to answer to the people.

A malevolent pack of jackals. They should post an enlarged print of this photo in every unemployment office in the country.

Women and minorities hardest hit (Meeks in Florida, now Pelousy).

Add mentally challenged to the hardest hit list. Includes most Democrats, with Alan Grayson a notable mention.
