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.
He was working on amnesty. What does it take for you to see that?
McCarthy is going to be the ML and I don’t feel good about it.
But Raul doesn’t have a serious candidacy opposing him. He’s just providing some red state reps with the opportunity to say they didn’t vote for McCarthy.
But really, open your eyes re: Raul!
Oh, and yes, Raul ran as tougher on immigration than he’s been since he got in office. Just like the usual DC types.
