Yeah now there are proving it for all to see - was just being kind.
Eff off Newt.
Please provider a link.
Do you need to learn what the term “trolling” means?
You posting crap about Republicans voting for Democrats. You threw your BS line out there.
I asked you to name the names. And you come back with “it has been reported”. Do You work for CNN and you live by “unnamed sources”?
Nah. You probably work(ed) for some Federal Government agency and can’t get enough deep state. And the Republicans pushing back offends your sensibilities?
Now that was trolling.
He’s criticizing the WRONG folks!
Wow....the RINOists are sure crawling out of the woodwork, these past two days.
Holding hostage....terrorists.....threats.....
Now the insults. Sigh...
A sure sign I’ve won the debate. Thanks for playing.
You are the one who said, “Two weeks from now everybody will have forgotten this is taking place.”
So it must be your memory. Because it sure as hell won’t be mine or most people I know. We have good memories.
I was just reporting what I had read and heard elsewhere - your the one who challenged it. You didn’t ask where or anything else, you just went right at it.
And that’s trolling. Plus the insult helps solidify the picture.
Can’t now - too late, lost it, but its is on all the cable channels so tune it.
No, you weren’t. You called all of us that don’t want to simply crown McCarthy and continue the same old game clowns.
And not once. But, several times you called people clowns.
You might want to move out of that glass house or stop calling people clowns for asking the legislators to hold power accountable.
Or is that just too unsightly?
Here is your post below. Now. Good Day!

They can get rid of him later, if 5 ask for a ‘no confidence’ vote.
Your gonna get more 🤡s if this keeps up, and very possibly Jefferies, who is only 6 votes short will become Speaker.
Oh really which part? Newt can be just brilliant but he is undeniably a native and he looks at everything through that prism.
What have you done for the USA?
But it’s Kevin’s turn!

You reading is poor I was calling them clowns, not people on FR.
And they are clowns who are more interested in their personal power & position then they are in governing. Just read the concessions made and to whom.
Whoever does get the title of Speaker will be virtually powerless or at least very weak, with every proposed bill held up to squabbles and bitter bickering.
You guys think its about saving the country, but they have different agendas. They use patriotic rhetoric to hide behind - I’ve watched some of them on TV and they are all word salad when asked hard questions.
My reading is fine. We have a representative republic. My elected leader is doing just as I have requested. Thus, his actions on my behalf are what you refer to as clownish. I am tired of the continuing resolutions followed by the Christmas rush Omnibus budgets.
My Congressman is doing exactly what I and others in his district asked him to do. That is, make changes to the process that Congress has used to avoid passing legitimate budgets and rushing through terrible legislation.
BTW. I don’t want a powerful Speaker. I want my Congressman to be able to add floor amendments to bills rather than having to vote yes/no. This regime doesn’t like that option.
You watch them on TV. That explains everything.
I work in this world, and I know they all have agendas. I know they might shank me in the elevator to advance their careers. And I certainly don’t rely on corporate newstainment to form my opinions. Their request is in line with what I have sought from my Congressman and others for years. Fix the frigging system. Return to a budget process that stops the madness.
Go to the link, and get specifics, not “word salads.”

You are in a minority of people that think this clown process is a good thing - the rest of us do not like this sort of unnecessary, pointless, grandstanding, and disorder.
While you might imagine they are doing what you want, dollars to donuts they are doing what they want which mightily differs from your wishes - trusting politicians to do the right thing is utter folly.
Without a powerful Speaker, the whole House process falls apart with cats going in every direction and ultimately counterproductive to governance. Forget any negotiations with the Senate, your weak Speaker will get run over repeatedly and at will.
Like Paul Ryan.
It is fantastic that Free Republic has someone like you with your finger on the pulse of the American voter. I prefer to refrain from subjecting my values to whether I am part of your majority club or not.

What exactly do you call the process we have now?
You believe $31 trillion in debt is the right track. We have gone from $3 trillion in debt since George H.W. Bush to $31 trillion. And you somehow believe the process will be broken? Kevin McCarthy has been in leadership since 2009. And keep in mind he was also in the majority during that time. So, he has demonstrated his ability to lead under the current structure. Changes must be made.
You are probably a wonderful person. And I do not wish to insult you. But, we must demand a change. Or everything will remain the same from the last 14 years. That is what we "clowns" are asking for.
The CRFB said on Wednesday that it expects U.S. government debt to reach a record 116% of gross domestic product by 2032, or $42.9 trillion, which is higher than the 110%, or $40.2 trillion, projected by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) in May. Under alternative scenarios, the debt could reach as high as 138% of GDP, the CRFB said. New spending by Congress is adding to the deficit, which is expected to total $1.4 trillion for full year 2022, even as it declines from $2.8 trillion in 2021 due to the expiration of COVID-related spending.

••So who do you imagine is willing to accept the Speakership and get 218 votes?••
I make no claims about speaking for any one other than myself and those I know, so stop with the conflation and distraction.
The previous process under Pelosi worked for the Dems.
The process we have now is the House squabbles and terrible optics.
