I really liked Brit, but he changed and it’s sad. Indeed, someone got to him with dollars or NSA report....just like Judge Roberts....

The GOP-E Leadership in the US House, (Boehner, Cantor, and Ryan), is always gullible to Obama’s tricks. Consequently, Boehner, Cantor and Ryan, have all pledged to ram through this unpopular Obama Amnesty Bill due to Obama’s illegal decision to flood the USA with children from Mexico and Central America.

It is time to kick the GOP-E out of Congressional Leadership!

Graham's challengers in SC never had a chance of forcing a runoff. Lack of money, organization and effort doomed them from the start. At least they had the gumption to challenge a siting senator.

On the positive side, they did make Graham work for the primary win and spend some money. Maybe even a temporary nudge to the right occurred.

I wonder who’ll be the next Majority Leader. do you suppose the Establishment will try to foist McCarthy on us, or do they try to sneak in someone like Ryan?

Who’s our guy?

“Hopefully this isn’t due to dems gaming the primary...Virginia has open primaries.”

Probably not, but hell, if the Dems are going to help us CLEAR OUT OUR TRASH, I’ll take their help any day.

OK. I admit it. I’ve seen that character 100’s of times on FR and I don’t know what movie he is from.
