Don’t trust the ACU, or Blackburn.

So what? I voted for McCain & Romney over Obama. Who else could Blackburn have voted for? Rush Limbaugh? Hello...Rush was not running for speaker. I do not know the vote count, but if Boehner is rejected, Pelosi gets to continue! I certainly do not prefer that alternative.

Whom do you trust, and can he/she get 218 votes?
Because otherwise Boehner can remain Speaker for life.

Personally, I have no expectations from this bunch at all.

I lived in TN when she was a state senator. She fought tirelessly to keep TN state income tax free. There were many in the legislator trying to pass it in the cover of the night, but she was a leading voice that kept it away. I don’t live in her state any more but I would certainly support her.

That really is a great testament to her integrity IF she still holds those strong beliefs.

Can anyone else help fill the void with more recent info?

Just out of curiosity why is Gowdy not viable?
I’m guessing the 3% of issues which he disagrees with ACU on are dealbreakers, but maybe there’s another reason.

Gowdy is viable. He is not interested at this time!

Well if you have no particular candidate to recommend, then it is a mute discussion.

Not really. It’s relevant to simply state that I don’t trust the ACU or Blackburn.

And I think you meant “moot.”

Moot is better but mute works too..like no discussion, no talk, no sounds. :) Like I can mute my speakers on the computer.

Anyway back to original topic, you have no candidate to recommend for speaker? Then it hardly matters whom you like or do not like.

A Conservative WOMAN as Speaker?

I thought Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz just said those mean Republicans want to deport all the Women.

Gosh, it’s just so confusing. LOL

Go Marsha! Debbie Washerface Schultz will be upset she can’t accuse Marsha as being part of the War on Women.

How about Mia Love?

I would be thrilled to see a black woman go to the Speaker’s podium every day and rip Obama and the fascism of Team Valerie.

She is a Freshman Representative.

No chance.

“I want NEWT!! Am I alone in this?”

No, you are not. If we had had him running in place of Romney for President we would not have lost the last Presidential election. However, the “fix” was in by the GOPe and da-boy Romney was chosen even though conservatives hated him...but they loved him because “he was one of them” and considered Newt as a “bomb thrower” and troublemaker.

That redounds to the whole liberal “appease the right-wingers” meme. It’s the establishment that is the problem.

Amnesty is my #1 issue in 2016. So that is good to hear.
I am not in TN so know not much about her.
