Here’s an article on why his candidacy for ML isn’t serious:
And here’s one on how he and McCarthy are both pretty much equally bad on immigration:
Good for you and him.
Why on earth would Labrador have had extensive outreach with other House members? He's nearly a rookie, one of 435 members. Were you expecting Brat to knock off Cantor? Maybe you should have called a few House members to let them know.
If Labrador offered anything close to amnesty he would be run out of Idaho. The big money might want it but the voters, as yet, don't.
If you think he and McCarthy are the same on immigration or anything else, then you should feel pretty good about things. You'll end up with McCarthy as Leader, with Boehner as Speaker, and three or four of their main buttkissers in other leadership rolls.
Good luck with it all. I am simply trying to tell you that Labrador will offer a voice in opposition to Boehner, to McCarthy, to Obama, to Reid.
We don't have that now.
I'd appreciate it if you'd post Boehner's comments on border security, or McCarthy's, or anyone else you'd like to showcase.
