Quote HistoryQuoted: @knothead71 I know it can't hurt. I'm not sure if they do FB, but I'm sure everyone of them has a Twitter account. Letting them know they have the backing of their voters costs us nothing and might move the needle a tiny bit towards limiting McCarthy's power. I don't hold out hope they'll be able to elect someone else, but letting him in without concessions would be a huge loss. You are one of the guys that I pay attention to when you post. Not that I always agree with you but I know for sure when you post your opinion you've thought about it and not just talking out of your ass. I'm aggravating the piss out of Allen, again. Lolll! |

Make no mistake, when McCarthey wins, he's going to retaliate against this bloc of people who voted against him, and it's gonna suuuuuuuck.
He's definitely a swamp rat of the highest order. |

That second place info is wrong. He had almost enough votes to win. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It is not about rolling over. It is all about selecting someone who can win. Do you want Pelosi to be the next Speaker or would you like another Democrat? Selecting someone who "can win" so we get full communism in 20 years instead of 10? That's all the uni-party GOP ever gets us - right where the democrats want, only a little slower. |

Oh dear Lord, don't give me that much credit. I'm as likely as anyone to be talking out of my ass. In all seriousness though, I don't think anyone is fooled into thinking that anyone in congress is there for any reason other than their own power. I'm sure a lot of people start in local politics with good intentions, but I don't think you get that far without having a thousand hooks in you. Someone mentioned not wanting to vote for someone who lies to them. Well, if my choices are someone who will hurt me a lot vs. someone who will hurt me a little and help me a little, its an easy choice for me - particularly because I want my kids to grow up in a country that at least somewhat resembles the one I grew up in vs. some socialist dystopia. For that reason, I will vote until the day I die for the best or least objectionable candidates I can, and I'll make my viewpoint known to them. Anyone who does less deserves every bit of misery that comes to them, IMHO. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Republicans have been ideologically across the board since the Antebellum years. They've spanned from well to the Left to the far Right. That has not changed. The GOP has always been heterogenous. The Democrats over the years have swung back and forth between ideological diversity and homogeneity as well as from the Right to the Left in terms of where their center lies. Right now they are trending closer to homogeneity. Republicans like Romney have been influential in the GOP for the entire post-war era. The conservative movement managed to push things back to the Right, along with the conversion of Southern Democrats on the Right to Republicans, but the center of the party has only been more than just barely Right-of-Center for fleeting moments. Even Trump's movement is an amalgamation of groups from the Left and Right (as well as groups that themselves draw their ideology from both sides of the spectrum, like the national populists, who have a lot in common with the Left). The neoconservative movement's victory at the end of the 1990s is what has given us the present establishment and kept our party close to the Center. We are still dealing with the legacy of their victory, which culminated in the election of Bush. One of the movement's founders, Kristol, even said that the goal of the movement was to convert conservatism and the GOP against their collective wills into something more suitable for progressive governance (which is why some of their major figureheads, like Max Boot, so easily switched to the Democrats in the wake of Trump winning the nomination in 2016). |

I for one would like to see fewer democrats in Congress. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: They don’t have to cross the aisle. Nothing can be done until a speaker is elected. How many independent voters will vote Republican when we cannot elect a Speaker. We will be one a party country with the same party controlling both Chicago and the US government. Guess which party that would be? Can they bring things like a vote for budget to the floor without a speaker? If they can its going to be hard to stop the establishment. If they cant everything gets shutdown. Nothing can be voted on without a Speaker. Every time I can remember the government being shutdown, the voters have taken it out on the Republicans and voted for Democrats. I for one would like to see fewer democrats in Congress.

I hate to say it but, it kinda looks like President Trump is realizing the horses pulling the MAGA wagon (us) are breaking from his reigns and running free, actually wanting the swamp drained.
He probably listens to Bannon’s War Room podcast. In fact I don’t think any of the podcasts I listen to like McCarthy. He’s probably thinking “Uh Oh, wait a minute guys”. As far as I can tell, the only people supporting McCarthy are the people in the House that want or even care about committee positions, not about the country. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: but the thing about Dems is they stick together to ELECT SOMEONE THAT IS A TRUE BELIEVER. Democrats have Manchin and Synema who are soft. The rest of them are hard left. If democrats were republicans it would be all MAGA folks and one or two rino's. The R's are opposite. the NEOCON/RINO crowd is huge. MAGA is a subset. this is why democrats don't have those problem. If we had mostly Gaetz/Jim Jordan etc, this would be a non issue. We'd elect a MAGA person and get on with it. The Republicans keep throwing these shitty RINOs like McCarthy, Paul Ryan etc at us, and many of us are over it. |

Marjorie Taylor Green said she’s now behind McCarthy and on Bannon’s War Room said that Gaetz, Bobert and Perry had a closed door meeting with McCarthy demanding committee positions. So tomorrow expect them to vote for McCarthy.
MTG said she wants to move foreword, take the win and start the investigations. The three mentioned above, according to texts she read only care about the positioning and the hold out was a sham for the positions. Mind you these four are all a part of the freedom caucus. Lol. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Partial: 1) At least 72 hours to read a bill before voting on it. 2) Any one person can make a motion to recall the Speaker. 3) In general, more power to Committees to write legislation and appropriations, and less in the Speaker's Office. 4) Committee Chairs decided by Committees, not the Speaker. 5) More discretion in Committee's hand to pursue oversight and investigations. 6) McCarthy (and Leadership) stops meddling in Republican primaries trying to pick winners and losers. Imagine the freedom caucus trying to make the House more free from the tyranny of the leadership. I'll bet most Americans would agree with the freedom caucus. |
