FAR RIGHT...
Greene.
Let McCarthy get back in and let’s see how fast she’s allowed back on some committees. That will be your sign that she sold out to them, regardless of what her Twitter says.
I’m not sure what happens if a House speaker can’t be appointed - do Democrats like Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell and Ilhan Omar get to keep their committee assignments? If so, Goetz and the others need to get behind McCarthy - the lesser of two evils and all that.
How about this, McCarthy comprises some with the freedom caucus and pledges a few things for them. He commits to accomplish those things and if he doesn’t then he doesn’t run again for leader in two years.
Thus, everyone gets a little and more importantly McCarthy is held accountable.
“Far right” = likes 1.5% inflation...likes $1.89 a gallon gas...likes a southern border sealed tight...likes to see the “Paris Accords” dumped in the trash can...believes there are only two genders...
With a slim majority the last thing the caucus needs is a divisive intraparty squabble. Leave it to the Stupid Party to f* things up.
“Levin railed as he blasted these lawmakers for standing in the way of Republican efforts to smoothly implement their agenda.”
***********
What agenda would that be exactly? Certainly not a conservative one.
The good thing is that they could always horse trade, extracting conservative concessions from the Wonder Weenie to get their support.
Yikes, Levin is wrong.
Recognize there is a Uniparty versus Patriots. A Patriot (eg, MTG) is the only proper choice... even if we fail with a MTG, there is no longer ANY POINT to giving anything to the Uniparty.
Was Levin also thrilled to support mcconnell?
No one has ever accused Jethro of having brains...
yes lets go along to get along
they are doing the job they are elected to do
mccarthy will win but he has to earn these votes
The Freedom Caucus has leverage to negotiate and get some of what they want.
They won’t get it all, but some.
Who listens or watches Mark Levin anymore? He’s a non entity. With McCarthy in charge it will be Paul Ryan all over again.
I believe McCarthy would rather manage a small majority or lead a minority as long as he is leader. A large majority would have been more MAGA, which he doesn’t want. McCarthy is another California weasel.
Mark lost me in the 2015/2016 time frame. His blistering
attacks against Trump up until six weeks before the November
election that year, convinced me he couldn't rub two brain
cells together to come up with Hillary bad, anyone else
good.
Here he missed the mark again. What those five people
are trying to do, is make sure there is no glimmer of the
the 2017/2018 House showing through during this
Congressional session. That isn't bone-headed Mark. And
why did you feel it necessary to use the Democrat's
terminology "far right" when delivering this stink alert
deserving commentary?
We want Conservatives in control you idiot stick.
Wait, Levin is Deep State?
We’ve whined for years about this very thing. Now that there is a faction that is saying enough is enough, we’re whining about that, too. Screw the GOP. Mostly a group of spineless wimps who care more about $$$ and power. And now everyone is clamoring to elect one of the most spineless wimps. Go us!
I remember when Mark was railing at him about 10 years ago for calling around California talk radio stations trying to bully them into pulling Mark's show off the air because Mark was saying mean things about him and Boehner. Seriously, talk about strange bedfellows!!!
Mark was all TEA Party back then but McCarthy was trying to crush it.
