WASHINGTON — Representative Kevin McCarthy on Thursday abruptly took himself out of the race to succeed John A. Boehner as speaker, apparently undone by the same forces that drove Mr. Boehner to resign.

....well look at this!....
You tell me that we FRiends don’t have a voice? YES we do!!!
We need to research all the names in the House Republicans and post the good ones, that have a good, solid record for helping put America back on its feet, and go from there...
One thing for sure, we need to shut down the libtards and closet hiders......
“I would third West but first you have to get him elected to Congress”
Actually, I read somewhere that the Speaker does not have to be a member of Congress. Maybe we have a Constitutional Scholar amongst us who can confirm or refute this?
I vote for Newt - he would make it tough for Obama to just slam his crap through! GO NEWT!
>>>And into Renee Ellmers.
OMG....you guys are KILLING me. Gonna make me buy uncle sam a new monitor!
“...Speaker John A. Boehner promptly postponed the election and was spotted storming out of the Ways and Means Committee room.”

Sweet!
Now if we can just replace his LYING, RINO a$$.
Is this good or bad news? Good that McCarthy didn’t have enough votes, but hearing rumors that Boehner will stay in until he forces them to raise debt ceiling.
But you would think someone in McCarthy’s um, position (pun unintended) could get a better class of women than some dried up skank like Ellmers.
Yep! He got the goods.
Thank you Mark Levin
I'd second Newt. He was effective in getting things done, we won't get any "Obama will just veto so we have to give up" crap from him. Also, maybe this would be a good role for Scott Walker. His big successes were pushing bills through the legislature against a firestorm of FUD coming from democrats. He'd be a good fighter in congress.
The staff hooker or MSM hack holding the paper seems to be telling a story.
Representative Kevin McCarthy arrived for the House speaker Republican nomination vote on Capitol Hill on Thursday.
They said republicans were crying when the bailed out of the room.
Best news since Bhromhead quit!
Draft Raoul Labrador or Jim Jordan. Bother very smart, very articulate and very conservative.
The Good Lord works in mysterious ways.
GOPe house critters seem to be in full retreat.
Interesting paragraph from the Fox post
In a curious development, Rep. Walter Jones, R-N.C., also sent a letter to House Republican Conference Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., urging a full vetting of all leadership candidates to avoid a repeat of 1998, when the conference selected then-Rep. Bob Livingston in November to succeed outgoing House Speaker Newt Gingrich. It then emerged Livingston had been conducting an affair. Jones asked that any candidate who has committed “misdeeds” withdraw.
Washingon D.C. is Hollywood for ugly people.
