Hate to say this, but any goodwill I had for Scalise in the wake of the shooting has dissipated.

Any bets that one of things at the heart of this speakership fight is keeping the Ukraine gravy train running, in spite of growing public sentiment against it?

They are all afraid that the investigations will lead to their doorsteps. They are protecting the ‘status quo’ because it is their livelihood and they don’t give a damn for their constituents. They view them as turkeys that need to be carved up.

So $2900 is all it takes to buy a Republican representative?

Steve Scalise (R-LA) is the driving force behind the twenty-two RINOs...

Throw him out.

All RICO from now on. They are projecting it on Trump, they know so we’ll.
Classic guilt projection.

When the Republicans serve lobbyists and not constituents, they will lose the support of their base. This does not portend good things for 2024.

Scalise and the 13 Rinos should be stripped of their leadership and committee assignments.

Scalise was a good conservative until that bullet hit his backbone and turned him into a “moderate”.

Evan if that hadn’t happened, Scalise wanted to be part of the House GOP leadership, which means you check your conservatism (if any) at the door or you don’t get in.

Now this coward is trying to play the role of behind-the-scenes puppetmaster and manipulate the RINOs with bribes.

A general comment after reading through the thread to this point....

It seems many Freepers are showing themselves clearly conservative, and willing to see the camouflage of the RINOs as nothing more than that. As we have our family and friends whom we do influence, the notion that conservative principles trump simple party affiliation is rather a lovely thing to see.

Principled conservative positions. That alone gives hope for our nation's future.

Washington's farewell address of 1796 speaks loudly.

It is ironic in today's Democrat-RINO alliance that one of the original parties ( against which Washington warned of sectionalism ) was called the "Democratic-Republican Party." Today that phrase rings differently and in a very different way. Them against us, so often.

Best wishes to all.

Lori Chavez-DeRemer not Linda Chavez-Deremer (OR-5th)

undefined

I looked her up to see if she was related to Linda Chavez. That's how I got her correct name, Lori Michelle Chavez-DeRemer (born April 7, 1968) is an American politician from Oregon. Doesn't mention any relationship to Linda Chavez

The GOP needs to come to an end. The $$$ need to stop flowing. The votes need to end. But no, we keep voting for the same garbage year after year, because somehow, they are “better” than the left, or some such bovine scatology.

The corruption is so deep that I believe it’s intractable. Let it all collapse so we can rebuild.
