The Devil you say...
Daniel Webster’s a good choice...
Don’t know much about him, won’t hold coming from Florida against him. Definitely anyone is better than Boehner, Chaffetz, and McCarthy.
HEAR! HEAR!
PLUS, he has a mighty fine name too!!!

Still getting over Stephen King suggesting Daniel Webster for Speaker of the House!
THis is a pretty good endorsement, along with Goehmert...shame no strong conservatives will step to the plate though.
Excellent!!!!
I respect Louie Gohmert as much as anyone in the House of Representatives, and heard him declare his support for Dan Webster as Speaker. Judge Gohmert acknowledged that Webster is not as conservative as he (Gohmert) is, but said that he knows Webster well and believes he will be a good and fair Speaker.
good deal, just 216 to go
Boehner has a higher lifetime ACU rating (83) than Daniel Webster (79). McCarty has a 89. Chaffetz has a 92. Chaffetz would be the best choice among those running IMO.
At one time we lived in Daniel Webster’s FL House district. He was extremely conservative, especially socially conservative. His family even homeschooled their children. He was an excellent Speaker of the FL House who held strong control over the budget. But it’s been a while since he represented me. After running for the lunatic Alan Grayson’s US House seat and winning, he seemed to get a bit squishier.
But I believe he is a conservative at heart who holds and understands conservative principles. He may have become a little less conservative because the constituents in his US House district weren’t as conservative. Where someone like Marco Rubio is a liberal at heart who pretends to be conservative to get elected, Daniel Webster is not a money grabbing phony. It took him a long time to decide to give up his business and go back into politics to run against Grayson.
Louis Gohmert or Steve King themselves would probably be stronger conservatives, but knowing what I know about Webster and having Gohmert and Steve King support him, carry a lot of weight with me. Perhaps Daniel Webster is the best conservative we can get. Unlike some of others, I don’t believe he is a sell out.
To bad Dick Cheney wants the Rino big mouth Mccarthy
I’m waiting for PETER King to weigh in on this debate. Whoever elicits the most vile, hate-filled diatribe from Peter King is my guy.
