There will be investigations with all the rigor and dedication of Trey Gowdy. Count on it!

If “moderates” would do what you say, there is no Republican Party.

They need to chuse a different speaker with the same agreements you cite.

I have not heard one news person ask one holdout, "what do the folks in your district think?" It's all been backroom deals objecting to backroom deals wanting backroom deal solutions.

We used to have news reporters in the press that actually asked who? What? When? Why? Where? How?

Now we just have producers who set up que cards off camera view from press releases written by the same people who should be answering those questions.

It's shameful.

What’s embarrassing is giving commie Dems more fodder…on top of their gesticulation over Jan 6.

What's embarrassing is you constantly looking over your shoulder and being concerned about what made up junk the Democrats are going to gesticulate over.

Do you realize what the best outcome of this Speaker situation
would be?

Two years of no Speaker, so that not one damned thing could
get done.

NO..

Just saying written promises mean nothing. They are only a means to an end.

Nothing more, nothing less..

Funny how after all the bread and circuses we still have to settle for “a half a loaf” (in reality he will be a backstabber, so we will likely get a shit sandwich crammed down our throats regardless).

Why would you want to exclude people based on some votes?

Ronald Reagan said “if someone agrees with you on 80% of issues, he is your friend and not a 20% traitor”.

Learn from the Gipper.

GOP is already shrinking. By applying litmus test to issues, GOP will become more and more irrelevant, and democrats will become permanent majority.

I’m not a fan of McCarthy but he has made the necessary concessions in writing...

In writing is meaningless. What teeth does such an agreement have?

“Two years of no Speaker, so that not one damned thing could
get done.”

So you are in favor of no investigations into Biden, COVID, the border, etc?

They didn’t nominate a second Republican this round. All they have now is an ‘Others’ category...

I am not sure why you addressed this to me.
