House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy is making a promise to conservative Republican lawmakers—“I’m not John Boehner”—as he seeks their support to replace Boehner as speaker. […]

“I think McCarthy’s pitch was ‘I’m not John Boehner, I’m going to run things differently, I’m my own man,’” said Rep. Blake Farenthold, R-Texas. “And I think that’s a case that he does have to make. One of the things I hear all the time from my constituents back in Texas is we don’t want John Boehner 2.0.” …

Meet the new GOP, same as the old GOP. The fact that McCarty, after his major blunder, is still under consideration tells me NOTHING has changed.

Conservative Review has McCarthy rated as an “F” for conservative votes where Chaffetz is an “A” ...guess which ones the boneless spineless GOP will elect as House Speaker!

He is not Boehner. Renee Elmers is his mistress not Boehner’s. That seems to be the big difference.

McCarthy is nothing more than a reasonable facsimile thereof.

This guy is not our leader. Actually they can elect anyone in the country. The speaker need not be a member!! I would support the return of Newt Gingrich on the basis of his achievements and leadership in the 90s. We are in trouble in this party . We have no time for on the job training. I'm open to other great republican leaders on the sidelines unless they are RINOs again. Chaffetz is far better than MC CARTHY in my view but is seems we have a dearth of competent house leaders We must have a strong conservative or this entire party is doomed.

At least, McCarthy, Boehner wasn’t stupid enough to give the Hildabeast a giant boost in her campaign by equating Benghazi to a political witch hunt.

… boneless, spineless GOP …
Why is the characterization of the GOP as conservatives that have lost their nerve still being bandied about? It’s more than fair to say that they are openly anti-conservative (left-wing) at this point, never mind quite often in the past as well.

If he is elected, then the whole thing is a charade. The Republicans know the voters are outraged, so they are buying time with a leadership change. I suppose they figure that when the sham is figured out, they will have passed the most crucial Obama initiatives, especially TPP. If they lose next year, they don’t care. The bribe money will more than set them up for life.
