Nancy Pelosi may retire if Democrats lose control of the House

  As if we needed any more incentive to vote next Tuesday, it is now being speculated that if the Democrats lose control of the House Nancy Pelosi will retire. Not just give up her gavel mind you, she may retire altogether from the House.

  With several Democrats stating publicly that they will not vote for her as Speaker of the House if Democrats somehow manage to hold on to their majority, and with many Democrats refusing to state their support for Nancy Pelosi as Speaker, it seems as if there it a looming power struggle growing within the ranks of House Democrats. It has been reported that if the Democrats do hold onto the House that Nancy Pelosi would not seek another term as Speaker, but this news takes this election to another level. This news raises the stakes of this election even higher.

 This turns Nancy Pelosi’s re-election bid into a national election–a referendum on the Speaker as well as the president. If this speculation is accurate we will not only have the chance to vote against her figuratively, we will have the chance to vote against her literally. We cannot let this chance pass us by!

 And when you take into account the fact that most pundits agree that Democrats can not avoid losing the House, the  likelihood of Democrats–who will most likely blame her for the demise of their House majority–voting for Nancy Pelosi as minority leader seem next to zero. Nor does it seem that she is willing to take what she most likely will–and should–consider a step backwards.

  Nancy Pelosi’s re-election seems all but certain as she represents what is probably the most liberal section in the nation. She seems to be one of the few Democrats who isn’t embattled in a tough re-election campaign and because of this I had thought that while it would have been great to see Nancy Pelosi toppled in November, it just wasn’t going to happen.

  But with the news that she may retire if the American people rise up and vote against her party in large numbers she may do what the voters in her district will not do; we have the chance to be rid of Nancy Pelosi once and for all.  

  If you are a conservative and you were planning on sitting out this election because you feared that this new group of Republicans would be co-opted by the current Republicans, and if you were planning on sitting out because you feel that nothing will change because the new Republicans will be no better than the RINOs that are in Washington currently, this should provide you with incentive to get up and head out to the polls next week.

  Elections have consequences–many Americans have learned this the hard way over the last two years–and let us show Nancy Pelosi exactly how harsh those consequences can be. I implore every freedom loving American to go to the polls next week and vote these people out of office once and for all! And maybe, just maybe, Nancy Pelosi will willingly follow them out the door as well.
