Defeated Congressional Dems Write Letter To Pelosi PLEASE STEP ASIDE!!!

 
Not everyone is happy with Nancy Pelosi's intention to run for the Position of house minority leader. The people who object to her new move are called Democrats.  The consensus is that by seeking to stay in power only serves to help the GOP, after all in 2012 the GOP can run against the same three headed monster, Obama, Reid and Pelosi and make it obvious that the Democrats have not learned from their loss in the 2010 midterms. To prevent that scenario a group of congressman who lost their seats last week are penning a letter to Pelosi urging her to step aside.

Fox news has obtained a copy of the letter, which is now circulating Capitol Hill and has not yet been sent to the Speaker.

Letter from Defeated Members:

Many of us want the chance to run again and reclaim the seats that we lost on Tuesday. With you as the leader of House Democrats, the hangover of 2010 stands no chance of subsiding. Many of us have run our last race but remain committed to our party; we want to help recruit successful candidates to run in our stead. Unfortunately, we 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.

This is a difficult letter to write, because we admire your commitment, your drive, and your conviction. You have been an historic figure in our great nation, and for that we are all proud, as should you be. Nonetheless, we each experienced how Republican demonization of you and your leadership contributed to our defeat.

It is impossible not to judge the results of November 2nd as anything but a profound loss. We want to recover. Recovery of our majority in the House necessitates new leadership at the top of our party. Nonetheless, one mark of a strong leader is the ability to discern when it is time to pass the baton. As defeated members, whose party needs to rebuild, we are counting on you to show the strength of your leadership in this dark hour. We ask that you step aside as leader of our party in the House. We believe that you can and will play an extraordinary role in our party, and it is extremely unfortunate that Republicans have taken away your ability to lead as effectively as you are able.

With utmost respect, we are

Not all Democrats are upset about Pelosi's desire to keep power, it is very likely that she would not have made the announcement that she was running if she did not already have all the votes she needed. It was the blue dog Democrats whose ranks were decimated in last week's election, leaving a Democratic Party Caucus that is more progressive than ever. Nancy Pelosi is a hero to those progressives, after all she was able to shove the progressive agenda down America's throat.

While this letter may be an embarrassment to Pelosi, and it will remind voters how the Democrats still do not get it will not change the ultimate result.  Nancy Pelosi will still be the leader of the Democratic Party in the House of Representatives.
