His RINO/Assistant-Democrat nature is on display. He needs to withdraw and move aside for a more conservative and patriotic choice. This is a fight for the survival of our nation and not business as usual! No more status quo and working with the DemonCrats!

The Dems are going to sit on their hands and laugh at the Republicans until they nominate someone scary to them…

…then they’ll all pile on to support McCarthy.

IDK much about McCarthy as a person, but you are right, his behavior reeks of personal power-seeking. During the last election his contribution to the cause was a really flabby pale imitation of Gingrich’s Contract with America. He unveiled it one day and it sank without a trace, never to be seen or heard again.

The GOPe has chosen McCarthy. I am sure they will get a couple friends on the left to vote for him. The Dems need the Republicants to have the House so they have someone to blame for the next 2 years

Take a hike Mccarthy, your a rino and that’s why you were rejected.

Seems the rinos here on fr are more upset about a stonewall being placed before Mccarthy then they were at the 1.7 trillion dollar betrayal by mctraitor and company.

I fully support the holdouts. It’s about time the opportunity is not being squandered and being used to support American interests rather then betray the true American interests.

Levin has jumped the Shark on this one.

McC is the grifter in chief in the GOPee House, in league with Schumer, BiXiden and Ditch.

No real change on the horizon.

My post from another thread:


“ What would Rush say... “?

First, Rush would say to not let the left set the narrative. The narrative right now is that this is proof that Republicans can't lead.

Rush might follow that with a recounting of all the times that Republican leaders made promises to their base and then stabbed them in the back once elected. He might then say "Let's give these new guys and gals the chance to figure things out for themselves instead of letting the swamp establishment roll over them."

Finally, he might say "I don't care if it takes five or 10 rounds or more to get it right, just don't let the drive-by media pressure you into thinking you have to get it done in one day. This is too important to begin the new Republican majority by immediately caving to liberal pressure before you're even sworn into office."

McCarthy wears nice expensive suits and has a great haircut... what more could we ask for?

It’s a shame McCarthy has no honor: He is putting himself ahead of his party and the country.

An honorable man would call his caucus together and say, “It is obvious I do not have the support necessary to become Speaker. Therefore, I withdraw my name from consideration. Let us coalesce around a candidate that is acceptable to the body. That choice will have my full support.”

Unfortunately, he is not an honorable man.

Yeah..incredible how the mccarthy RINOS have miraculously grown a spine in time to fight their own party. They’re good at fighting their base with full guns ablazing all the while kissing the demonRATS butts for the last 6ys. As peasants of the party all we want is a new person to be speaker of the house.
