we had that already..... remember bushie 2???
what did we get..
the makings of the current domestic spy agency (patriot act)
and the largest entitlement program ever (prescription drugs)
No thank you, I prefer gridlock
No. Not Jim Jordan either. More controlled opposition. Jordan is a cross between Trey Gowdy and Darrell Issa. Big Tech puppet.
I know that MTG has, in recent months, said things that are good and right. However, as a Messianic Christian who loves Israel and all RIGHT-THINKING Jews, I keep remembering something she said a few years ago. Something about ‘Jewish space lasers’ causing California wildfires?
Am I remembering wrong?
I would have preferred that we had the Senate so Republicans could block any more far left-wing extremist presidential nominees, but having the House is better than the past two years of complete democrat control. With just the House, Republicans can perform genuine oversight of the Brandon regime and block any more socialist laws from being passed. Even if we had both houses of Congress, Brandon could veto anything substantive that passed.
mccarthy is a democrat-lite.
Everyone in Calif is, me included, its in the water.
Multiple firefighter reports of fire truck windows being blown out from heat Multiple firefighter reports of never seen before fire behavior. But you may be right, space based lasers aren't possible. Maybe we didn't land on the moon either ? Maybe MTG actually knows some of our firefighters around here. But space lasers are irrelevant to this speaker fight,,, other than to try and smear MTG. I may be wrong about MTG. I still support her.
I am even beginning to question Steve Bannon, to be honest.
Jewish lasers ?
No, she said nothing about Jews
Nice smear attempt there buddy.
Spit.
I apologize. I was out of line.
Yes, I think you miss remembered the Jewish part.
But, I could be wrong.
I want to win elections. I’m not a “if I don’t get everything, I don’t vote.” That’s you to a T!
Haven’t missed an election since I could vote.
I know. I was just kidding.
My sentiments as well.
“I admit I am not in the know as to Kevin McCarthy’s positions and past voting record.”
McCarthy is a moderate squish whose voting record has lurched hard-leftward since his second term in office — and, not coincidentally, since he has moved into the GOP “leadership”. There’s no room for actual conservatives in the leadership unless they mostly toe the line and keep their mouths shut.
McCarthy doesn’t even pretend to be conservative anymore, though once upon a time he did.
It’s not ALL about voting record though — it’s about having the appropriate attitude. Democrats in powerful positions NEVER become soft and wimpy; they go full steam ahead and don’t give a damn how much Republicans whine.
Republicans (mostly) don’t even get into powerful positions UNLESS they are soft and wimpy and quickly cave on their so-called principles every time a Democrat calls them a racist.
I realize there’s a big difference between leading a party which has full 24/7 support from the tribe of media controllers; and leading a party which is on the receiving end of full 24/7 lies and hatred from that same tribe.
It’s not an easy task to be a Republican leader under those conditions, which is precisely why we need someone with as much backbone as possible, and not some timid coward (or thoroughly corrupt Uniparty-ist) like Boehner, Ryan or McCarthy.
No problem.
I live in Steve Scalises district. When he became House Minority Whip my husband thought that was a good thing. I told him now we have lost our representation In Congress because now he has to Whip the votes that McCarthy wants and not what his constituents want.
Frankly, if nothing else he has to be voted down so as to to reward him for being a charter member of the swamp.
After that, other than perhaps holding a few investagatory committees, I really wouldn't give a damn if they shut the rest of the government down and went on vacation for the rest of their terms.
I'm quite sure we already have enough laws, and that we'll all survive a couple of years without new ones. They'd be doing enough by passing budgets that trim 10% from every single governmental department, bar none. Nothing else really needs to be done until we can have legitimate elections again, not that I figure we'll ever see that.
This person has been an extreme disappointment since November. Does she smell the graft coming her way?
Exactly. It is perpetually on hold as long as the graft keeps raining down!
