Will Republicans really appoint such a black-mail rich target as McCarthy to Speaker of the House?

Posted on 09/25/2015 9:08:36 AM PDT by dangus

Rumor has long been that McCarthy and Rep. Renee Ellmers are having an affair. So far, the MSM has been silent about it. But it's already out there.

Just for comparison sake :

Louie Gohmert 97%

Kevin McCarthy 94%

John McCain 83%

Mccarthy is a Silicon Valley Amnesty H 1 Visas puppet .

He destroyed the CA Hop when in secret signed off on a Dem cooked redidtricting scheme which wiped out all the seats that kept the Dems from a filibuster proof state house.
In return , his seat was saved from redistricting .

Well If you say he stinks then that’s good enough for me. I have known you a long time on FR. What are some suggestions for someone besides McCarthy?

Perhaps we can dig up some specifics? I looked at TF2009’s posts and they’re in no way a Rat troll, so let’s provide some education.

His campaigning for Ellmers is a big bad one for me.

“Ellmers, who was elected in 2010, has traveled with Kevin McCarthy throughout North Carolina on the campaign trail in 2014. McCarthy campaigned for Ellmers during her 2014 primary challenge with radio talk show host Frank Roche.”

Shouldn’t the speaker candidate’s home stated voted R for POTUS at least once in the last 20 years? This is 2nd in line in POTUS sucession, after all. If he could guarantee flipping CA red in a one-off next Nov, that’d be different, but he can’t.

It should be by popular vote % of the State in the last POTUS election: the top 5 States gets all their reps considered, with those serving/ranking high on committees being given most weight.

ACU measures party loyalty, not conservativeness.

Listen, I dont claim to know much of anything about McCarthy.

Heck, I had never even seen a picture of him until today and realized only then he was the guy standing behind Boehner yesterday while Boehner was blubbering like an idiot for some unknown reason.

I pulled up some information on his conservative rating and saw at least on that particular site that he had a MUCH higher conservative rating than John McCain and Boehner, and almost as high as a rock rib conservative like Louie Gohmert. So to me with that limited information it seemed we were heading in the right direction and getting someone far more conservative than Boehner.

But, I could be wrong.

The crooks have figured out ways to game the system. I don’t trust the ratings anymore.

Well, well. Now we are allowed to learn why Renee developed her sympathies for Open Borders. She apparently learned to toss aside all borders from the liberal majority leader.

This will certainly offer the public a rare insight into the divisions in the Republican Party, between the bureaucrat Inside-the-Beltway administrators and the taxpayers.

This is true.

I wasn’t looking so much at the score as the relationship between known conservatives and RINO’s on the list.

But honestly that list that popped up first on my google search was probably not the best source.

No offense intended. I didn’t know anything about him before a few weeks ago and looked into it a bit then.

Didn’t trust anyone being so readily considered to replace O’Boehner.

Here is the issue. Forget the fake ratings. McCarthey is and always will be more liberal than Boehner. Unless there is a new conservative alternative it will be worse than before.

Prob. like the presidential contenders: whom is next in line? Whose ‘time has come’

Disregard: voting history, skeletons in the closet, etc....let alone anyone that adheres to the Constitution.

PARTY above all, folks. I’ll eat crow IF it were ever to happen.
