“BS....20 hardheads have to vote for McCarthy. There is no damn alternative....and they know it.”
It is unfortunate you cannot see the bigger picture. Those hardheads are RIGHT... This should be never handed to McCarthy. There is not one advantageous reason why it should be.

Yes the conservatives are pretty dug in. The rules need to be changed back to the way they were for 100 years. Remember the “super Committee?”. At that time I confronted my rep Rob Woodall about this same stuff. Legislation is supposed to be written by legislators, dropped in the hopper and brought to the floor for debate and amendment. Then they vote.

Personally spamming Free Republic, one thread at a time, so freepers like you, and you, and you- don't have to.
START >>> The fact that 198 Republicans are holding fast for McCarthy tells you all you need to know about the swamp.
It's deep and has a powerful invisible visible whirlpool taking anything and everything within its influence, down to the depths.
~ HOLD THE LINE! ~
To be clear, In my post- I am asking the 20 rebels to hold the line.

Imagine Kevin working THIS hard for the American people. McCarthy only works hard for one person. It's surprising how many people still don't seem to understand that.

What more can 8% of Republicans extract? I was for Gohmert years ago, but my team lost, obviously.

He only needs 6 votes. Once he has had enough of this BS he will huddle up with the “United Dems” and come to an agreement.
To: cowboyusa
His actions are reinforcing the narrative that he is none too bright. He went to the election for Speaker and did not have the votes. Schmuck.

For “professional politicians” it’s called “ego-maniacal insanity” or, in many instances, a “messiah complex”.

“Boot those 20 morons out of the party”...why??
I thought everybody wants representatives who stand for something and don’t just go along to keep their power. I’d settle for 200 MORE morons like them. At least they are trying to make some changes and not letting the status quo continue as it has been. That is why we are where we are today as regards our Congress.
To: martinidon
Looks like it is starting to happen. Rep Bacon from NE is saying they may start reaching out to Dems for an agreement. If that happens the 20 holdouts will have screwed the Rep majority. But at least they held their ground....
To: martinidon
That could parcipate a march on Washington.
