Gaetz is the dog that finally caught a car.
Listening to him now..he has no clue what is going to happen now. But, boy…he is digging his time in front of the cameras.
Gaetz: McCarthy made multiple contradictory promises
Macarthy is in the pocket of lobbyists (my paraphrase) and spreads the money around the house.
we need to stop the cycle of ongoing resolutions and pass a budget.
Secure the border
we didn’t even subpeona Hunter Biden.
So fun to see all the GOPe ppl come out of the woodwork
You mad Bro?
Perfect analogy! But hey, he said he was gonna catch it, and he did!
McCarthy stupidly violated his agreement on spending bils, and this is exactly the consequence he agreed to.
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.
“But, boy…he is digging his time in front of the cameras.”
Somehow or other, that line got going and some people think it is so brilliant.
He is the main player here, so what do you expect him to do? Go run and hide?
“Gaetz is the dog that finally caught a car.”
That is a great analogy.
I was no big fan of McCarthy, but he did better than I expected as speaker and this didn’t seem like the time to oust him. With things as they are, the timing of this is going to make it play out as a catagory 4 or 5 Schiff storm.
