He has shown us who the RINO’s are and who care more about the lobbyists than their constituents. Primary them!!!

One thing Gaetz accomplished was not only to publicly exposed the individuals in the party who put politics and emotions above conservative principles; he also publicly exposed the level of contempt for conservatives and conservative principles that is persistent in the GOP.

... McCarthy is to nominate Jim Jordan for Speaker...

He did. It was serious and sincere, IMHO.

Doing the same thing over and over and over and expecting different results is the text book definition of insanity

Here is how the game has been played in DC for over 2 decades now.. The US House GOP is told “oh you have to only pass bills that the Senate will vote for and the White House will sign”.

The result is the House GOP consistently passes hard Left Democrats Legislation to “get things done”. The Democrat get all the political benefits while the GOP gets all the blame from the voters. This game has got to stop being played by the GOP. This is a chance to do that.

This is a chance for the GOP to start actively using the power of the US House to say “You want something done Senate? You want something done White House? Here is what we passed. Either vote for it or reject it. We have done our job.”

Quote:

“This has nothing to do with Jim Jordan, a man I would love to see become the next Speaker.
People are waking up to see what a grifting sociopath Matt Gaetz is, despite all his fanbois”

___________________________

It has everything to do with Jordan as speaker. If it weren’t for Gaetz having a spine, Jordan wouldn’t even be in consideration, McCarthy would still be making deals with Democrats behind closed doors and stabbing the CONSERVATIVE BASE in the back. And bought and paid for rinos would still be able to follow suit by stabbing the CONSERVATIVE BASE in the back. All while campaigning with promises to appeal to CONSERVATIVE CAUSES only to vote with the democrats and lobbyists.

Perhaps that’s why you HATE Gaetz. Because he works against YOU’RE true ambitions.

It took your HERO McCarthy 15 votes to get him across the finish line. Jordan is only on number 3.

Gaetz simply used the rules of the House to call McCarthy out for lying and backstabbing the base and failing to uphold his promises.

Perhaps you’d prefer Jeffries!!!

“OK, what exactly has Gaetz accomplished with this stunt?”

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

You calling it a “stunt” further solidifies your Assistant Democrat credentials.

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.

He definitely lost a vote because one of the congressmen went to Israel to check it out.

Van Orden, Wisconsin, is in Israel, (My Rep and I'm disappointed.) one other Pub gone, but 4 Dems are MIA.

Is it what their voters want? If not, they should protest at their offices and homes. Find a primary candidate and bankroll him/her.

One of the “RINOs” is from my state.

Hey Republican party — you have lost my support. Come back to me when you have found a Reagan type candidate. Otherwise, I don't care.

When you scream those sort of bile laced infantile insults at people you disagree with, exactly like an Alt Left Cultists do, you not only discredit yourself, you disgrace yourself.

The leadership schedules votes at Jordan’s request. He could do ten a day if he wanted to.
