5. No such thing for federal elections
I think it is a damned good time for the states to call a convention and create one, though. Allow for districts to recall Representatives, states to recall Senators and the nation to recall the President and Vice President together.

6. Right. It's good to know the law before distributing a video that reveals your ignorance of it.
It's not like it would've taken a lot of research to verify.

Either that or add an exciting "Never mind" epilogue.

3. The first thing this guy needs to be told is . . .
. . . there is no provision to recall a federal office holder.

The second thing is to point out that Ms. Pelosi won re-nomination to her seat in the 8th CD in June with 90% of the vote.

Third, there is a progressive candidate running as an independent against her in November, but as much as I admire that particular lady, I give her no chance of upsetting Ms. Pelosi.

So Ms. Pelosi will do what she damn pleases and get away with it.

4. She won her primary with 89%
Might be time for this guy to step outside of his very narrow world view and accept that the district still supports the Congresswoman, the Speaker.

8. Between big money, the party and name recognition, it is impossible to
replace Nancy or any other Democratic incumbent in the primary. So stop talking about it. Concentrate all energies on replacing existing republicanTs with progressive Democrats.

7. Forgive me again. But our current system does not have a method of unelecting an incumbent.
Incumbents are golden in the primary. And please don't give me the Leiberman example. He is the example that proves the rule. No Democratic incumbent can be replaced in the primaries. This is a huge problem we need to fix.

9. Nancy's not liberal enough for Frisco?
Nub news? Looked and sounded like something filmed in this guy's garage (not that there's anything wrong with that, some of my best friends film pseudo news stories in their Mom's garage.

The word around town is "recall"? What town is that?

13. I am very surprised that people are defending Pelosi here...
She has proven herself to be the weakest, most inffectual speaker in our country's history. NEVER, should ANY member of Congress EVER take impeach off the table for ANY government employee (including SCOTUS justices, DOJ employees, DOD employees), including President and Vice President. Constant vigilence must be employed by every branch, always weary of the the other branches. There is supposed to be tension and some amount of back and forth conflict between the 3 branches. Capitulating to the executive only eradicates the role of Congress and the people of the United States. Nancy Pelosi is a complete disgrace.

23. exactly
history looks almost as kindly upon Chamberlain as it does Hitler. It's a shame Pelosi never exercised the mandate she was given by the American people, and continued to do the repug's bidding. How is it that the repugs can be so obstructive as a minority, but when the Dems aren't in control, all they do is whine about not being in charge. I hate Frist and Gingrich as much as the next guy, but at least they had intestinal fortitude to carry the flag for their crazy causes.

17. Nancy parlayed her Congressional Seat......
....into a seat at The Rich White Man's Table in 2006.

She never looked back.
