. . . McCarthy started out working free for Thomas, but soon was put on the payroll. He stayed 15 years, becoming the congressman's chief of staff in the district, where the McCarthy family goes back four generations.
His great-grandfather was a cattle rancher, grandfather a railroader and father a fire chief. McCarthy is the first Republican.
He became national Young Republicans chairman, won a seat on the Kern Community College board and last year was elected to the Assembly.
McCarthy leans to the middle. He supports most abortion rights, but opposes spending tax dollars on abortions. . .

McCarthy leans to the middle. He supports most abortion rights, but opposes spending tax dollars on abortions.
If you want to understand McCarthy even better go read about former Congressman Bill Thomas, and ask yourself what kind of ambitious politician would spend fifteen years working for someone like that.

The stupidity of the GOP is exceeded only by its arrogance.

Basically the GOP is about the most worthless bunch of lame brain fools in Government. With the right leadership we might have stopped lots of King Obama in his second term.
To: ElkGroveDan
If Trump becomes the next POTUS, I trust he will call McCarthy into the Oval Orifice on day 1 and tell him “how it’s going to be”.
Am I being too optimistic?

This is about the California legislature. Nothing to do with Congress.

In other words, your typical unprincipled RINO.
The only thing McCarthy cares about is his own self-advancement.
This is a conservative? Not in my book.

They say McCarthy is a moderate Republican.
What more do you really need to know?
Remember, this is the LAT description of the next Speaker Of The House.

That’s probably his real view.
He’ll pretend to be conservative but when he’s Speaker he’ll make sure conservative bills never see the light of day.
Count on it.

The fix is in.
The leadership team forced Boehner out to preserve their hold on power.
And McCarthy is their front man.
