//////Dem nominee for Speaker was damaged and there was quite a bit of concern who was actually going to end up in the position. BTW, did that guy survive reelection this year ?///////

DeWeese? Yup.

Little Greene county is no longer ratland. Kerry and Obama who did worse in West PA lost it. Now DeWeese lost it. Murtha won it only 53-47.

///////You also remember the insane situation in the CA Assembly beginning after the ‘94 elections where a narrow GOP majority had Willie Brown making mischief for an entire year”///////

Yup. One of those RINO supporters of Willie became like his best friend and member of his staff.

//////However, this stopped when we obtained a numerical majority in 2004 and with 2 Republicans voting to keep him, he ruled like a partisan Democrat and gave most of the chairmanships to Democrats despite our party being the majority///////

Rats bite when they feel cornered.

//////// Ron Ramsey has not ruled out seating her as the duly-nominated candidate from the primary (that kind of boldness we usually only see from Democrats)./////

A strong leader for once?

////DINO named Frank Buck who got f**ked by Naifeh/////

/////but you never know what might happen in January — he still need only get 1 RINO and hold on/////

I read his #1 target has come out and said he won’t do it.

Oops, I didn’t mean DeWeese surviving reelection (although an interesting article nonetheless), I actually meant did the RINO Speaker get reelected ? I presume the PA rodents must’ve either held or gained a few seats in the House (the GOP majority seems secure in the Senate). Will they reelect the RINO, though ?

“Kill Bill”, heh. I had forgotten that line. Poor Buck, he really got f**ked, but not in a good way...

Oh, and BTW, ALL 50 TN House Republicans signed a pledge that they will vote for GOP leader Mumpower for Speaker. Some DINOs may cross over, too. Interesting to note that unlike in a lot of other Southern states, to my knowledge there’s been no party switchers in the House over the past 25 years... all except for one Black Knoxville Democrat in the ‘80s who switched to the GOP and actually managed to win reelection in a Black plurality or majority district (but lost when he tried the election after that). I would expect now with a GOP majority that there may be some switches from people that Naifeh had kept in line via threats that would be more comfortable with us, ideologically-speaking.
