The usual suspects are out in force on FR condemning the removal of McCarthy. Funny how those positions tend overlap (not pointing at any one poster, just talking in general) with other positions such as opposition to President Trump, fear of government “shutdowns”, strong support for big financial and military assistance for Ukraine…. at some point this kind of consistency evidences an ideology. The question becomes: what is that ideology, what are the alternative ways of looking at the world, and what combination of these represents “real” conservatism and which are RINO-ism.
Personally, I am glad to see Frank Luntz’s roomie kicked to the curb. What does this accomplish? At a minimum, it will make the next warm body put in the Speaker’s chair fearful of leading in directions objectionable to the most conservative (again, a definition issue…). To the people ruffled by the absence of a clear plan, I would ask where did they think the House was headed under McCarthy’s leadership? To me, the answer is obvious: an overriding fear of being blamed for shutdowns (which BTW is the House’s only real leverage) leaading to years more of governance by Continuing Resolutions. So I say good riddance.
Well stated > Agreed.
