"BREAKING: GotNews.com Hit With ‘Cease & Desist’ Letter For McCarthy-Ellmers Affair Story" GotNews.com has been hit with a cease and desist letter from the counsel of Congresswoman Renee Ellmers amid allegations of her own martial infidelity.

GotNews.com stands by its story regarding the DC, NC, and Bakersfield rumors regarding an alleged affair between Congresswoman Renee Ellmers and Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy. We look forward to the opportunity to avail ourselves of deposition with seated members of congress should it come to that.

The letter, reproduced here, was written by Thomas A. Farr, an attorney from Ogletree Deakins, a white shoe law firm. Meanwhile Congressman Walter Jones of North Carolina has called for a full vetting of McCarthy before the speaker vote.

I don’t trust any of the people involved, including Charles C. Johnson.

Seconded.

HA!! Would LOVE to see her brought down....and Kevin NOT get the SPEAKERSHIP!

Me too. He comes across as very douche-like, in the way he talks and acts. Then there's his Benghazi screw-up, which is inexcusable IMO.

Add to all that I really don't see any demonstrable difference between him and the jackass he's supposed to replace. The most anyone has come up with thus far is "he's better at communicating."

I don't want someone who's "better at communicating" the establishment agenda.

"He comes across as very douche-like"

Besides a female sygine product, exactly what is a "douche"?

I've heard it before and don't know it.

Apparently, the rumors have come from none other than Charles C. Johnson. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3250127/posts

If you recall, Renee Elmers is the one who organized opposition to pro-life legislation.

From Wikipedia:
“Ellmer serves as the current chairwoman of the Republican Women’s Policy Committee.[28] In 2015, she led five other Republican women in opposing a bill banning abortion after 20 weeks.”

As the old saying goes:

Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer...guess poor Kevin (a bill clinton wanna be) should have keep his ‘items’ at home where they belonged and he wouldn’t be in this mess...

Douche bag, douchebag, or simply douche, is considered to be a pejorative term, referring to an arrogant or obnoxious person. The slang usage of the term originated in the 1960s.
[From wikipedia]

You can also google ‘online slang dictionary’ or ‘urban’ dictionary & get more “descriptive” definitions.

“McCarthy suddenly accidentally tries to give Hellary a Benghazi pass. Something strange is brewing.”

He needs the DEMOCRAT VOTES to become speaker as he doesn’t have enough Republicans supporting him. This was their price...

No, the correct answer is : So What?

Stop being alanskyed. This is RULE 4

Saul Alinsky’s Rules from Rules for Radicals

Saul Alinsky describes 24 rules in Rules for Radicals. Of those 24 rules, 13 are rules of “power tactics”:

1. “Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.”

2. “Never go outside the experience of your people.”

3. “Wherever possible go outside of the experience of the enemy.”

4. “Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules.”

5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”

6. “A good tactic is one that your people enjoy.”

7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”

8. “Keep the pressure on, with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose.”

9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.”

10. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.”

11. “If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside.”

12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.”

13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”

The remaining 11 rules Alinsky describes are concerned with “the ethics of means and ends”:

1. “One’s concern with the ethics of means and ends varies inversely with one’s personal interest in the issue … Accompanying this rule is the parallel one that one’s concern with the ethics of means and ends varies inversely with one’s distance from the scene of conflict.”

2. “The judgment of the ethics of means is dependent upon the political position of those sitting in judgment.”

3. “In war the end justifies almost any means.”

4. “Judgment must be made in the context of the times in which the action occurred and not from any other chronological vantage point.”

5. “Concern with ethics increases with the number of means available and vice versa.”

6. “The less important the end to be desired, the more one can afford to engage in ethical evaluations of means.”

7. “Generally success or failure is a mighty determinant of ethics.”

8. “The morality of a means depends upon whether the means is being employed at a time of imminent defeat or imminent victory.”

9. “Any effective means is automatically judged by the opposition as being unethical.”

10. “You do what you can with what you have and clothe it with moral garments.”

11. “Goals must be phrased in general terms like ‘Liberty, Equality, Fraternity,’ ‘Of the Common Welfare,’ ‘Pursuit of Happiness,’ or ‘Bread and Peace.’”
