Rock bottom? Things could get worse for House GOP
Washington Examiner ^ | 10/8/15 7:02 PM | BYRON YORK

But Boehner's retirement announcement — like McCarthy, he sprung it on a surprised world — didn't resolve any of the conflicts inside the GOP conference. Many of that core 30-40 member group of the most assertive conservatives saw McCarthy as more of the same. And they realized, again, that if they voted as a bloc against leadership, McCarthy couldn't become speaker.

And why should he asked the conservative rebels, who like everyone else watched as public approval of GOP leaders went down and down.

"When 72 percent of Republican voters disapprove of the congressional leadership it's hard to simply promote the next in line," says one conservative member.

"We are in a representative business and it is unsustainable to have the people who do so much work to send Republicans to Congress harbor such dissatisfaction with the party's leaders."

Posting articles?

Or just replying to threads?

Her replies go on a long time....she’s prolific and I gave up

Hell I don’t post articles much either

There will never be another JohnHuang2 here...lol

What she says seems good to me

Criticize lib Pope

Likes Trump

I’m good...

If she’s southern it’s a trifecta

All I see is a lot of crying from the beltway RINOs like York. If this was really hurting the GOP, the RATS wouldn’t be acting so worried.

I didn’t know the Post Gestapo was allowed to get drunk on duty. You may find yourself transferred to the Russian Front.

Don’t let a few sour pusses get to you.

There a few posters that think they are the post police and get quiet petty.

I see nothing wrong with her posting history. So she had a long gap in posting articles. So what? A lot of people have been posting more here lately, especially with a very exciting presidential race going on that could change the course of history.
