Are they kidding? Are they serious? Did they learn NOTHING from Tuesday's results? Are they really going to try and make us swallow Kevin McCarthy as the next majority leader? And HELLO!!!!!..in case anyone is paying attention, that would make him the presumptive Speaker in waiting. The conservatives in the House GOP conference have the votes to stop it..they need the cojones, and someone to step forward as an alternative to McCarthy.
McCarthy can’t be primaried. That’s why he’s there.
The check’s got to be paid. You saw Cantor’s donor list. You think Boehner’s is any different.
They are going to ram this home, even if it wrecks the party.
The check’s got to be paid.
I sensed the sarcasm, but there’s a whole lot of truth to it.
I know a few people who worked inside the GOP. Its even worse than you think.
Actually, I think that DH jr would make a superb Sec of the Navy, or an Asst Sec Def, in a GOP WH..
Email, phone and fax you feelings to your congress critter, maybe he/she will pay attention.
Better yet, show up at your congress critter's office and have your feelings in writing and politely ask for his/her liaison in the district, again politely ask him/her to share your feelings with his/her boss!
FYI - I stress "politely" doing the above for a very specific reason: if you are rude, angry or threatening in any way, they are instructed to call the police after the Gabby Gifford shooting but be firm in your conviction while being very polite.
But.but...conservatives do have the votes to stop it..that’s what is killing me..
Actually it’s us who needs to wake up.
The GOPe left it’s base a long time ago. At this point, anyone that still thinks there’s any hope for the party is delusional, and I daresay it’s our patriotic duty at this point to leave the Republican party in droves. They certainly are not interested in having an (R) in the WH anytime soon. Sobeit.
Thanks for the heads-up, ken.
I am reasonably sure the Tea Party that ditched Cantor will have a LOT to say about who succeeds him.
Imagine the agita when the phone rings on Capitol Hill and the caller says, “I’m Jean Jones, and I’m with the Virginia Tea Party.”
ROTFLOL.
Yup.
NO! He is one of them. McCarthy wears the Scarlet Letter of R for RINO!
2. The class of 2010..60+..were nearly all elected with strong Tea Party support."
How many of those 60+ have been corrupted by being in the beltway for almost four years?
See tag line.
See the light yet?
Let’s not just watch, call, email, tweet!
Second Texas Republican considers bid to replace Eric Cantor in leadership (Jeb Hensarling)
California? That state hasn’t voted Republician in decades.
Hell no to McCarthy.
You need a fight?
Well kids, here it is. Boehner and the RINO establishment clearly ARE a conspiracy, not a theory. Let's take a week off from the CCP. I know Sheriff Joe won't mind.
The WSJ supported Hensarling as their first choice, followed by Ryan, this morning.
Hensarling has just dropped out. Ryan doesn’t seem to be on the short list (he’s not very personable, so probably the leadership didn’t even consider him).
Why do they want to pick somebody whose positions are exactly like those of the guy who just got dumped?
Well done.
Carry on.
