Final vote tally to come
LOL. Is that supposed to be such a horrible thing, Hakeem?
It’s a material upgrade over Boehner’s hand picked successors.
Without a doubt.
Plus he is a Southerner from a Red State.
Up yours Paul Ryan and McCarthy.
“Typical FReeper: “He’s not conservative enough for me, I’m never voting Republican again!”
GTH trolls.”
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Yep.
“Back in 1991, as a high school sophomore, he once helped an old lady across the street. Turns out she was a Democrat!!! So F him!!!”
He is da Man indeed.
Hopefully McCarthy will retire. Go back to Bakersfield and open a Hot Dog Stand.
So, the GOP finally got a BIG JOHNSON!................
Let’s hope he has a set of balls to match.
I’m just glad they elected someone finally. I hope he gives the democrats fits.
It provides more data over more years and doesn't have the overly small sample size and somewhat cherry-picked methodology that those Liberty Scores do. Johnson does a lot better with ACU/CPAC than he does with the Liberty Score people.
ALL information is helpful so long as it helps identify the truth -- even ratings from ultra-liberal groups can be helpful when interpreted in reverse of what they intend. :-)
An interested person can compare and decide for himself which is the better measure. Among the single-issue, all-or-nothing types, unfortunately probably LESS information is better because they aren't interested in anything that contradicts their worldview.
CPAC gives him a 91 ranking. http://ratings.conservative.org/people/J000299
I’m listening to the Markley, Van Camp & Robbins show and they played an ABC “news” clip about Mike Johnson and the first thing you hear from ABC is that Johnson is a “fierce opponent of abortion rights” so maybe he’ll be good Speaker.
I don't know how Johnson will do, but I think he is an improvement over what we had with McCarthy and Scalise. Scalise... what a disappointment. I learned a much about him with this speaker selection. He has a liberty score in the 50s. What?!! And there are FR posters who sing his praises.
Matt took a lot of hate for his boldness. Kudos to him for standing up and being bold. Usually our reps just approve whoever has been selected by the RINO establishment. Regardless of how Johnson turns out, I have respect for Matt for doing this.
“You can call me Ray, or you can call me Jay, or you can call me Johnny, or you can call me Sonny ...”
I thought McCarthy spoke well, and often said the right things. The problem is that it seemed like he was always conniving with the Democrats and stabbing the conservatives in the back. Seemed pretty likeable. For a snake.
You call it a "clown show".
I call it something that desperately needed to happen.
You’re not correct.
You need to fight to get rid of Trudeau.
It’s always possible that he was holding the Conservative line in the House Armed Services Committee. We can hope and we shall see.
Congratulations! I hope does great things!
(My former congresscritter was Kinzinger🤮)
Now I have a democrat 🤮🤮
That’s my Congresscritter!
He knows we have his back!...................
><><
That reinforces my impression that he’s a very good man and will do well as Speaker.
“It’s always possible that he was holding the Conservative line in the House Armed Services Committee. We can hope and we shall see.”
He is going to get some serious bruises pretty soon if he alters from the agenda, but I also hope that is the case and he stands strong. :)
Enough is enough.
