Well he’s right IMO.

There will be a backlash - a bluest of blue state rep as majority leader? Really?

That has to change.

"They wanted to see a conservative — probably someone out of the tea party caucus — at least vie for the position."

Wow, traditional Republicans wants to see a conservative in in a Republican leadership position. The nerve of those guys. It is becoming clear that the divide in this country is no longer Dem vs. Republican but the elitist class versus the middle class. And the middle class is losing. Losing big.

I hope it ticks off enough people to flush that piece of fecal matter Boehner down the bowl next year.

“Michael Steele said Tuesday it’s a “mistake” that Sarah Palin doesn’t have a role at the Republican National Convention in Tampa.

“I think it was a little bit of a mistake not to have Sarah Palin here,” the former Republican National Committee chairman said on MSNBC. “I think she brings a level of energy and excitement that’s going to be important going forward into the general campaign… She’s the vice presidential nominee from 2008. Extend the invitation, give her a moment to speak to the delegation, to the candidate and [their] families.”

Anyone know if the votes are public or do they do this behind closed doors?

Regrettably, there are not enough House members with spines that won’t turn to jelly.

They had a chance to deseat Boehner in January 2013 and even had to the votes to do it, but Bachmann’s and a couple of others’ spines turned to jelly.

==

Now is their chance again to get someone in a leadership position.

History says they won’t — another example of pulling defeat out of the jaws of victory.

McCarthy’s constituents need to stay home in November and cut the RINO loose. Bite the bullet now and replace him in 2016. Same with Boehner.

Let’s see... Majority Leader outspends opponent 50 to 1 and loses by 11%. So Leader’s friends rush to install a clone.

What could go wrong?

There is no reforming the GOP, guys. You couldn’t get a clearer message from the base: Cantor was tossed. And in respone, the GOP leadership is doubling down. You serfs WILL know your place.

You can’t save the GOP. All you can do it kill it off, and replace it with something completely different, the requires explicit fealty to conservative policies, not just lip service.

So the Tea Party caucus is so disorganized that they can't rally around a single candidate in the course of a week? How much time do they want?

McCarthy became Majority Whip on January 3, 2011. And since January 4th of that year he's been planning and working on becoming the Majority Leader. The Tea Party caucus is just complaining because they got caught flat-footed and hadn't even begun contemplating what they would do should a leadership position come open. Let that be a lesson to them. If they some how manage to get one of their members into the Whip's spot then they had better begin working on getting him into the next office up the ladder.

When Michael Steele is making more sense than any current party leaders, you know we’re being hosed by Washington.
