Eventually people will end the madness of supporting their own demise.

Wake the hell up folks.

On the local news in Dallas today, they reported that Hensarling dropped out because he may rather run for Boehner’s seat. Hmmmm..... haven’t heard that anywhere else.

The position will be filled for now.
However, for the reasons I mentioned, that does not mean it could
not change with coming retirements and new reps coming in for
the next session.

What else can explain why no true conservative did not step up now?
There is a reason no conservative stepped up NOW, with the key word
being now.

Sessions was a RINO anyway.

His 2013 ACU rating was 80% and his lifetime rating is 96%.

McCarthy has to run in November.

They all have to run in November.

Boehner wanted an Amnesty Pimp in a safe RINO district who wasn’t vulnerable to being primaried. Sessions would be primaried if Amnesty was passed with him as the Whip.

Exactly, this was strategy to let the GOPe get their wish list with no interference. I'm calling my Rep tomorrow just to voice what a sorry bunch of losers are sitting in that chamber. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Re: “McCarthy is WAY worse than Cantor on amnesty.”

His District is almost 40% Hispanic.

It’s also a farming District.

On those two issues he is All Left, All the Time.

They still don’t get the message. We’re tired of leadership that keeps surrendering and leaving us with the consequences.

Who is the other politician with the last name of Sessions...is it Jeff? I know that one of these two men is considered a patriot, a Conservative.
