Well, ok, but not as much. They aren’t in control necessarily of the votes of every single politician in the house.
If, for some reason, every house member wanted to vote for Ron Paul as Speaker of the House, it would just happen.
They don’t hand pick candidates for every single office. They do try to stop the ones that present a danger to their agenda.
You don’t think the older established members don’t give out the committee appointments, offices etc....You’re be naive.
There are those who control and those who follow or else. Look what happened to Newt’s class....Intimidated until they fell in place.
Michelle did the right thing by establishing the Teaparty Caucus....But are they giving her any help in being re elected even though they know the Rats are targeting her....
