McCarthy to Gaetz: ‘Bring It On,’ I’ll Survive as Speaker
Breitbart ^ | 10/01/2023 | Pam Key

Posted on 10/01/2023 9:35:51 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that Rep. Matt Gaetz’s (R-FL) plans to come after his speakership will fail.

Anchor Margaret Brennan said, “I want to start, though, on the news from Congressman Matt Gaetz, who says he’s going to seek a motion to vacate. He’s going to try to oust you as speaker of the House.”

So, same spending, just repackaged under a different name….and that’s a win?

It won't be the same spending bill.

These omnibus bills are how the Congress hides their earmarks and other unrelated spending. It's Nancy Pelosi's "you have to pass the bill to find out what's in it" method of hiding pork.

By breaking out the spending into "clean" department budget bills, it makes it much harder to hide unrelated spending or side-deals between members.

"‘Bring It On,’ I’ll Survive as Speaker"

When you're confident enough to know that Democrats will vote to keep you Speaker, you've proven you are a life-time member of the Uni-party.

Ok…..

For example……

Omnibus has 10 things, ea worth $1,000,000 for a total of $10,000,000 in wasteful sh*t

McCarthy separates them into 10 single issue bills, they all pass because of the RINOs and Democrats….still $10,000,000 in wasteful sh*t

Where’s the benefit?

You and Golden Eagle live in a different reality than the rest of us.

It’s the same people voting for the same things.

RINOs helping the Democrats. Democrats helping the RINOs

Ukraine will get its $300,000,000. Done deal.

Graham has already said it’ll be attached to the border bill. And everyone will vote for it because they have to.

Yes, if the House were made up of 218 people like Gaetz, you’d have a point. Reality says otherwise.

"Write your reps and tell them to support the removal of mccarthy."

LOL! My Rep., Brandon Williams is Republican, and in his first term. He voted for the Stop-Gap Bill yesterday. I'll certainly call him tomorrow, but I'll be telling him I won't be voting for him ever again. As far as his voting against McCarthy? He's already showed he approved what McCarthy did, by voting Yes on the Bill, so I doubt he'd vote to kick him out of the Speakership. All of those Republicans who voted for the Bill, voted in favor of McCarthy's side-deal with the Democrats to keep Ukraine funding in the Bill. And plenty of so-called Conservatives will still vote for them when they're up for re-election, because they think the seat needs to remain Republican. I don't understand why they do that, because all they are doing is perpetuating this kind of crap.

LOL!! There are other symptoms and behaviors that go along with someone being diagnosed as a sociopath. As someone who appears to have worked in the medical world, you know a person isn’t diagnosed with a syndrome if they appear to have only one symptom. That works for other diseases, mental and physical as well. I have some of the markers for Lupus, but not enough to be diagnosed with Lupus. You are playing fast and loose with your diagnosis.

"Gaetz was my favorite Congressman for the last several years"

Until DeSantis threw his hat in the Presidential ring, and Gaetz chose to back Donald Trump in 2024. That's the gist of it.

Re: 6 - Agreed. Gaetz has some good ideas, but good grief, it’s all about execution. He can’t.

McCarthy is not saint. But someone’s going to get stomped in this matter. It’s not going to be him.

"McCarthy is not saint. But someone’s going to get stomped in this matter. It’s not going to be him."

House GOP members seek to expel Gaetz amid renewed threat to vacate House Speaker McCarthy

This is the same shit that just went on in Texas against Ken Paxton. It's the same reason Congress worked diligently to get rid of Trump, and diminish the power of the President, because he couldn't be bought by the Uni-Party.

Please tell us what the great Conservative Warrior Matt Gaetz got us besides this 45-day continuing resolution.

Gaetz and four of his fellow "conservative warriors" voted against an 8% cut in domestic spending and a huge increase in border security that was supported by the vast majority of the Freedom Caucus. He never once articulated or proposed any alternative and instead preened in front of the microphones and blathered on Twitter that Byron Donalds and anyone else who opposed his idiotic stunt was a sellout.

And before you say the 8% cut wasn't good enough, then you will actually need to get more conservatives who can actually get elected to Congress who will vote for your agenda. Senator Hershel Walker is not going to bail us out.

An 8% cut and increase in border security is way better than anything we're going to get 45 days from now.

It seems all republicans do that starting at the top. It would be nice if they could be as team oriented as the other side. But it is the blow it all up mentality that gets them no where.

Well, look at you, making the same type of attacks you are claiming make Gaetz a sociopath.

Dunno. Maybe so. Talk is cheap. You have to have the votes. I am not sure who has the votes right now to replace McCarthy.

Didn’t take like 16 tries before he became speaker?

McCarthy has been a sellout from the beginning, but I think he ended up as speaker because no one else wanted the job who could get the votes.

Who would replace McCarthy if he were to be deposed? I think it would be easy to get rid of him and a good idea, but who would step in? No way Gaetz could get it and Scalise would be more of the same.
