A House GOP source has confirmed to Breitbart News that House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy was the one who drafted the secret criteria list House Speaker John Boehner used in his purge of conservatives from House committees. The source, someone with inside knowledge of how Boehner conducted the purge, told Breitbart News that McCarthy crafted the list, which included a scorecard of where several conservative members stood on certain votes. According to the source, its unclear at this time whether McCarthy made the list of his own accord or if he did so at the request of somebody else in GOP leadership like Boehner or House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.

That is what I want to know. Why now? What is Boehner getting ready to do?My guess would be, he's going to come out of the closet wearing an evening dress singing "it's raining men".....
Roberts sides with Obama on Obamacare and now Boehner is getting rid of conservatives.... Makes you think....

Who benefits from outing Mc Carthy? It seems to be Cantor, who can now work both sides.

Boner is a piece of work. GOP popularity is in the toliet even worse. Rinos like being the minority liberal party.

“Roberts sides with Obama on Obamacare”
And he set up the “private inauguration with no photos or recordings” back when 0bama took the oath of office.

The powerful only care about one thing - keeping their power.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Many people around the world are starting to figure this out. Some are still lagging behind.

Not controversy, RINO idiocy. The only reason the GOP has a majority in the House, and therefore Boehner is Speaker and not Minority Leader, is that the Tea Party drove re-taking the House in 2010. Boehner and RINOs are attacking the very people who put them back in power in the first place.

Why is it a big deal that McCarthy prepared the list? Was it expected that Boehner wrote it himself?

I think it shows this is a pathology of larger GOP House leadership.

EXACTLY !!
There is collusion in the halls of Congress and the ‘leader’ who proports to represent us is in truth a ‘follower’ .
It is time for removal.

If 16 repubublicans voted against Boner, there would be 16 democrats who would vote for him. They’re all in this together.
As for the whip, “Kramer” said the whip is the guy who actually whips the other congressmen if they don’t vote the way they’re told”. He must have been right.

There are more RINOs than conservatives or TEA Party representatives. Always, always remember and never forget, contrary to the lies they tell in public and the lip service they pay to conservatives, the elite establishment Republican wing of the ruling political class hates, detests, loathes and despises conservatives and it began with Ronald Reagan, who they saw as an embarrassment to the GOP. Their candidates, Dole, Bush (father and son), McCain and Romney are demonstrably Progressives. If they ran on their beliefs, they would have just as much trouble being elected as a Liberal DemocRat does when they tell the truth about what they stand for (Humphrey and Mondale come to mind).
