Behave like a rational adult, you will be treated like one. Scream in emotional hysteria like an Alt Left child, be treated like one

It is a simply binary equation for you.

You do have to hand it to the democrats for voting consistently as a block. They are all traitors, so they don't have traitors in their midst. The republicans are not all traitors, so they do have traitors in their midst. And it looks like the republican traitors are voting "on principle" for Scalise at the moment, trying to prevent their treason from being exposed.

Thanks for pointing out that Gaetz is the original RINO. He is the first one that needs to go

“””All Gaetz did was rip the bandaid off. The wound was already there but now everyone can see it.””””


You are so correct. That was the PLAN and it was executed.

Now the RINO’s are backed into a corner and are flailing in their attempt to recreate the ‘good old days’.

“OK, that’s fine and dandy. Now explain to me how that really helps with anything. All it did was make the Republicans look foolish and aimless. Tell me how this makes any moderate more likely to vote Republican. And before you say “moderates don’t matter, they aren’t ideologically pure enough” think about how many elections you will win with 25 or 30% of the vote. Principles are fine, but you can’t make policy unless you win elections”

____________________________

So business as usual is OK? Continue backstabbing Conservatives because the moderates will be happy?

I refuse, as a CONSERVATIVE to get in the back of the bus while backstabbers are in the driver’s seat. I refuse to get up and give my seat to more rino’s. The CONSERVATIVES outnumber the “moderates” ITS TIME THE MODERATES MOVE TO THE BACK OF THE BUS!!!

It’s time to govern as Conservatives and WIN seats instead of turning the base away from the polls.

Those “moderates” you favor have done enough damage to the Republic! Time to send these backstabbers packing.

His job was to get the legislation through...and he did that......not build the fence and man the towers.

Maybe direct your hostilities to the Dems.

Amen. Shutdown is good, especially this far away from the election.

The American people need to see firsthand that a government shutdown won’t affect them in the least. They will continue to get their checks. The sun will rise in the morning, and set at night. Rain will fall. Crops will grow. Schools, stores, and employers will be open. This all despite what the Leftist media (and many RINOs here) tells them.

“Gaetz voted with every Democrat in the House to vacate a Speaker who had the backing of 96% of the Republican members.
You can’t say anything in his defense that mitigates that fact”

____________________________

And backstabbing rinos are voting with the democrats to prevent the GOP from electing a Conservative as Speaker.

MITIGATE THAT!!!

The more Jordans opposition gets death threats, the greater the opposition grows

Scott Perry (R-PA) said that U.S. Reps and their wives getting death threats is no big deal. Called it a red herring.

Did Gaetz cut a deal with Biden’s DOJ to avoid prosecution in exchange for causing the confusion and chaos on the house.

It was strange when he escaped getting charged and his close friend got 11 years for their relationship with the same underaged girls. Generally the DOJ will not let go of any Republican even if they smell something.

some of these idiots lucked out and won their elections...and for the first time in their lives have some power and its gone to their heads....you have to smartly pick your fights..and now is def not the time to pull this non sense. Why they even started this makes zero sense...Dems have the Senate and the WH...not sure what they think they were going to accomplish. Theyll lose 60-70 seats next year.

The key is “96% of the republican MEMBERS” - and about 2% of the people. The man, McCarthy, was nothing but a lying POS who constantly went against his word, and took the leftist side of almost EVERY SINGLE ISSUE. If that’s what 96% of the members wanted, then we need new members. Popularity of a wrong does not make it right.

Reminder:

The latest ABC/WaPo poll was the only pure measurement of Independents, who decide everything.

They are moving to Trump and his anti elitist positions.

This event in the House will have zero impact on House won or lost next year because Independents decide that and they care zero about this event.

ABC/WaPo partisan mixture in the poll, 25%Dem/25%GOP/47% Independent — because that is the known reality. It is also the mix used in their previous poll, so the poll’s change of result (Trump +10) reflects actual change of opinion and not change of partisan mix.

If you know any lobbyists you might squeeze them for the direct cell number.

“You’re supporting one of eight Republicans who voted with 100% of the House Democrats to oust McCarthy.”

#################

Because as I said before: “We need to continue the transition away from Uniparty business as usual, root out Uniparty leadership and ideals, and replace them with America first, Constitutionalist principles (and principals!), as quickly as is reasonably possible.”

Further, you saying he’s “one of eight Republicans who voted with 100% of the House Democrats to oust McCarthy” is pure Assistant Democrat (Satanic) word twisting propaganda.
