We have read both that Labrador is a conservative and from elsewhere that he is no different than Kevin McCarthy.
What are the reasons this is not so?
I would suggest listening to his interview with Hugh Hewitt yesterday, as well as this previous YouTube clip. I feel strongly that he will be more forceful in dealing with Democrats than McCarthy would.

Raul is a good guy who has won me over. He abstained from voting for Boner as Speaker. He opposes the amnesty plan that the GOP is pushing on us. This is not too surprising since he is of Puerto Rican, not Mexican, extraction. I know some of the very conservative representatives who served with him in the ID legislature and they have nothing but praise for him.
Thanks for the lind, dignitas. I’ll check it out.
Nice looking family on the article link for this Father’s Day.

Happy Fathers Day to you as well!
Dr. Thorne,
We concur. He is not afraid to stand his ground and he is a principled conservative. And yes, we have seen quite an upsurge in support from the Puerto Rican community.
Didn’t vote for Boehner as speaker. Tells you all you need to know
He may not be ideal, but he’s DEFINITELY better than McCarthy. If he can win that will be a MAJOR COUP, all due to Dave Brat.

Two wishy-washy plusses for Labrador. Whoop-dee-doo!
Does he have the required fire-in-the-belly to defeat the cancer of endemic BOEHNERISM, (ALWAYS Cave-In to Democrats), in the US House of Representatives?
Thanks for the info.
If for no other reason than to throw them off, slow them down, I’m in favor of opposing the heir appointed by Cantor.
Hopefully Raul can rally the conservatives and Tea Party around him quickly.
I have read a few profiles of McCarthy that mention how he likes hanging out with Hollywood celebrities. This isn’t the kind of person the party that represents middle America and hometown values should have representing it.
He is far better than McCarthy.
Will any of the scorecards rate the vote for Majority leader?
THats a very good question. In terms of who ends up voting for who, Ill research. As far as conservative ratings, Freedom Works lists Labrador at 92% and Kevin McCarthy at 73%.

Labrador is for amnesty, but says he is against bringing up a bill in the current congress. That means the Senate’s 8 Gangsters’ Amnesty bill would die a well deserved death.
Labrador is much better than McCarthy, so he should be backed for this interim majority leader election, then dumped in January 2015 for an immigration enforcement only conservative.
It’s a secret vote so there won’t be any scoring.
I wrote my congressman that if Raul loses I’ll assume it was because he didn’t vote for him!
Meant to include you for my reply above
I thought that it would not be public.
