Kevin McCarthy Makes John Boehner Look Like Ronald Reagan

I saw House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy's attempt to "clarify" his comments about how the Benghazi Select Committee affected Hillary Clinton's poll numbers to Brett Baier earlier this evening and I must say he does not inspire confidence. McCarthy makes John Boehner look like Ronald Reagan.

Now I have no sympathy for Harry Reid who characterized McCarthy's comments as a "political witch hunt". Given Reid's attacks on the Senate floor against Mitt Romney and the Koch Brothers, it is a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black.

But if Republicans are to offer a credible legislative program and be an effective opposition to the Obama Administration, they are going to have to do better than Kevin McCarthy.

This is so sad that the GOP has sunk this far as to actually praise for Boehner's staunchness.

Nobody from the West Coast or North as we are tired of moderates like Ryan, Romney, Hastert or Boehner.

Nothing but a rock-solid conservative need apply for Speaker. Louie Gohmert comes to mind....

McCarthy is a dumb ass. Can’t we find someone with some intelligence?

As one of the Virginian’s who kicked Cantor in he ass and put Brat in office (we need 400 more of him), I was struck by how much McCarthy sounded EXACTLY LIKE CANTOR.

The conservatives need to kick his but out just like we did Cantor...

The poker tell is to see who all wants McCarthy, all the establishment republicans desiring to keep their power and status quo. We don’t need this crap, we’ve had ENOUGH! Look what their so-called leadership had gotten us, nothing worth a hoot in hell. The republicans drop to their knees to make 0bama and his minions happy while ignoring the electorate who put them in power to change the leftwing status quo. Fire them all, with real fire!

Hey I live north of Houston but I think Tom Delay got off on them charges. Maybe he can run down there in Sugarland again. That would be a blast

If McCarthy is the best the GOP can do, the GOP is in worse shape than the Democrats are.

Well, Reid is right. The House of Representatives is a political body and Hillary is a witch. ; )

I nominate Allan West for Speaker.

McCarthy it will surely be: the GOP “representatives” are too stupid to do anything else.

he won’t be defeated in an election, he might leave if his affair with someone is exposed, but he’s in a safe district with a RINO machine around him funded by the CoC and Farmers who depend on ILLEGAL ALIENS for their workers.

I don’t know much about this guy. But when he was pulling his head out of his ass last night on TV, my wife commented that he sounded like Matthew McConaughnay. ( however that’s spelled.)

We don't need another dummy as Speaker.
