I think the House Republicans are demonstrating beyond any shadow of a doubt by electing California McCarthy speaker that their (the new Republican House Members) collective hearts are, being kind, about 1-3 points to the left of center which begs the question of whether or not conservatives should continue to support the Republican Party at all.

Many Democrats don’t even argue that their party is Socialist any more. Give them credit for that (i.e. a grain of truth!). The Republicans should be forced to choose. Namely, are you a conservative or are you 1-3 points to the Left of center. If you are, own up to it and quit lying! Then go form your own party like the Socialist Democrat Party has.

On its face you are correct, but when you read about the details of the situation you can see why even MTG was calling on Republicans to support McCarthy.

If the party doesn't get behind one candidate, then even 2-3 Republican House members could vote with the Democrats to put some nitwit like Liz Cheney in there.
