Isn’t Trey quitting anyway?
They've completely abdicated to Obola the power WE delegated to them.
Gowdy is a graduate of the Issa School of all bluster talk, no action.
Not rubber stamping Open Borders / ObamaCare, etc. = bomb throwing right wing nut.
They don’t want the uni-party upset. This is why 60%+ of Republican voters are supporting political outsiders and Cruz.
Read today the Chamber of Commerce is committing $100 million to defeat Tea Party members.
Shut the place down. Chaos is good. It’s what the voters want! Give us a conservative as House Speaker or we’ll just wait for the 2016 elections.
Gee Conservative members stopped rolling over and now the situation is ungovernable. How about this: Wapo is unreadable.
Typical of the MSM how this article is slanted to paint the Freedom Caucus as the major problem, when in fact the real problem is how the establishment GOP wants to rubber stamp every facet of the Obama agenda and wave their collective middle finger at the voters who put them in office.
Sorry, but I can’t bring myself to go to the entire article and give the WaPo site an unmerited “hit.”
But, the excerpt is clear enough. The WaPo would never agree with anything Gowdy discovers about Bengazhi, but it WILL quote him out of context to continue the drum beat of the meme that the conservatives have ruined the legislative system.
BULL!

“Ungovernable” is likely what the Founders envisioned. Everyone going along to get along is what’s landed us in the present mess.
By the way, how does this Gowdy guy have any credibility at this point? Nobody’s gone to jail or lost their jobs as the result of his interminable hearings on Benghazi.
ALL the Democrats will do what Pelosi TELLS them to do!! We have GROWN-UPS that have a lot of ideas and will NOT be told what to do like children.
If Trey Gowdy is a RINO then we are all RINOs.
The Problem With the House is really a direct result of the Rules of the Senate and the need for 60 votes to pass anything that the Dems object too. A majority of the House membership looks at that fact, presumes that a Government shutdown could easily result and give up without a fight.
End the 60 vote cloture rule in the Senate and we might have a chance at a rational House of Representatives governed by the Republicans. Without it, the Trey Gowdy view will be the correct one.
The Daniel Webster I knew 35 years ago was a great cat herder.
Amnesty Trey’s country-lawyer act is so stale.
And why they advocate a GOPe type for House Leader.
With Boehner and McConnell, the MSM got their GOPe compromises.
Newt or or Allen West. Either one would shame them into getting into step.
“Ungovernable” = establishmentese for “crazy hardcore right wing conservative wacko birds unwilling to go along to get along.”
Ungovernable House? Scarier than that would be a governable House.
Advancing conservative ideas is not some foreign strategy. The current dipsh$ts couldn’t do that. That was the problem. Either you are moving the ball forward or the opposition is. The opposition one the day for 5 straight years. We got a few crumbs.
Gingrich was able to withstand an even bigger backlash and sent welfare reform to the president’s desk as well as significant tax cuts. They also got real concessions on budgetary spending. This bunch did none of the above and got rolled on every other issue.
Before blasting Gowdy and lumping him in with the RINOs, consider:
1. The House cannot prosecute people like Lois Lerner and Hillary Clinton (now a private citizen). They can hold hearings and gather evidence.
2. The House and the various committees and special committees can recommend prosecution for various offenses, but;
3. The Department of Justice is responsible for prosecuting any crimes committed. It will be a frosty day in Yuma, Arizona before the Obama Justice Department lifts a finger to prosecute anyone involving Benghazi, Loise Lerner and the IRs or Hillary Clinton’s Illegal Email arrangement.
Trey Gowdy is wrong- the democrats are governing the GOP I n the house with no problem- GOP goes right along with them- always-
we need to disown certain parts of the family is what we need to do if they dont get their sh1t together.
