Are they really going to shove Kevin McCarthy down our throats? The House GOP better wake up!!
one man's opinion...

Posted on 06/12/2014 8:20:03 AM PDT by ken5050

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.

"By doing it now and giving the new Majority Leader six months to do favors for members, they believe that they can prevail when the new caucus assembles for the New Congress. They intend to roll over the newbies.

As soon as I heard Cantor stepped down your above statement is exactly what I said to my husband. Well maybe not exact :-)

Why not? It worked pretty well in 2011 and 2013.

Excellent point. It would be good for conservatives with a megaphone to object loudly and early to this potential development.

WE DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' MAJORITY LEADER FROM CALIFORNIA

I don't know if he's Majority Leader material or not, but Tom McClintock is from California and he's pretty conservative.

Let’s see. Cantor gets crushed. Cantor hand picks McCarthy. What has changed?

Within the near future if the GOP continues on its current course, they will be a non entity, and a powerful new party will evolve.

Good point(s).

Call your (Pubbie) Reps, now. Tell them NO to Establishment McCarthy...that’s he’s as bad, or worse, than Cantor.

I read where PETE Sessions is also being considered. He’s worse than both of the above, if that’s even possible.

Trevor Lowden used that imagery last night at our mi teaparty meeting. Said we are not country club Republicans - we are the Rebel Alliance. That’s us folks. Suit up and make us proud.

CA hasn’t voted Republican since Reagan. They deserve no leadership posts.

I wrote to Jack Kingston but it will do no good. Kingston is Boehner’s mini me; whatever The Weeper wants Kingston gives him. If he makes it to the Senate, Kingston will be McConnell’s mini me. I can’t believe he’s ahead in the polling. Hopefully it’s another Cantor upset in the making.

Well they have waved Jeb Hensarling off so it looks like the fix is in for McCarthy. Cantor mini me.

McCarthy was in place before the anti-Cantor ballots were dry.

Apparently he and Boehner will collaborate with Obama in a last-ditch effort ... buttressed by the horde of illegal children without accompanying adults now arriving daily ..,. to get a de facto amnesty, whether the House votes for it or not.

Chaos. If not exactly the end, this might well be the beginning of the end. Years '15 and '16 will bring Hell to pay.
