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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
