Before McCarthy gets strung up, Id like to know a little more, because he is been a reliable conservative vote (even though he is from California). Too late. Snap decisions have been made. Those displeased with all things, or who have financial or political incentive to stir divisions, have settled on a GOPe purge talking-point. Doesn't matter who did it, why it was done, who the replacements were, that liberals were also replaced... it's a grand purge by the establishment.
Democrats don't need help defeating our agenda, in-fighting more than solves that problem for them.

I’ve been crossing swords with this P.O.S. since we were both in the Young Republicans twenty years ago. He’s an establishment RINO and always has been, but he’s been schmoozing his way up the ladder for a decade now and gaining favor among some conservatives because he raises money and talks a good game. So glad his true stripes are finally showing.

There is no benefit to a circular firing squad.

Offer to raise the top tax rate back to 39.6% as long as Hussein agrees to concrete immediate spending cuts.

To: Lazamataz; hosepipe; Ken H
In regards to my earlier post (below)I confused Laz with Ken
H. It's Ken H who is the decrepit 105, and Laz is the even sprightlier-than-us 92.
FR began 2/97, so let's make original Freepers of that year as
old as the world's oldest people, or 105. So 7 years would be equivalent
to 1 year as a Freeper (just like dogs!). This makes old Laz
a decrepit 105, but hosepipe and me are a sprightly 98.

"I guess Im surprised that that Breitbarts writers are surprised that McCarthy had a hand in this. I mean, party Whips *do* tend to be the guys who keep tabs on individual members, and dole out party discipline to an extent (though less so in our system than in the UK, etc.)"But McCarthy had made nice-nice with Tea and Tea allied freshman; in retrospect, in exactly the same way Steny Hoyer herded the Blue Dogs into a pen, and we all know what happened to the Blue Dogs in 2010...

I don’t know much about this McCarthy except that he comes from a state with one of the most moribund Republican parties in the nation. And there is no solution in sight.

These guys are addicted to power. They don't want to lose it.And, if We The Sheeple weren't so hopelessly addicted to Big Government, RINOs would be extinct.
In other words, the pot's right. Screw the rich and gimme more stuff. /s

let me guess, Kevin McCarthy is probably very familiar with the statement Reaganism is dead

Congratulations on your precocious Conservatism! I was just about to turn 29, for the Reagan revolution, when I became a Conservative. It’s a good sign that young folks like yourself are engaged and carrying the torch!

Ah ha. It's an old fogies convention. I'm just a newbie here compared to you guys...{;)}
Same old stuff in the house, it's like a brutal presidential campaign. The GOPe's first priority is to destroy any movement toward conservatism first, regardless of whether that's fiscal or any other stripe.
Take [count em] steps to left and call out anyone standing to your right; a member in poor standing or worse. Makes you wonder doesn't it?
Off subject; Subject = TV ... It's not about entertainment. It's not about information. It's about control. ---- They're proving it works!
I'm lucky, I have no time for it anyway. Ongoing boycott (some football, baseball, and hockey excluded) for the past 10 or so years. No weather, no news, I suppose a few presidential debates are also excluded as webcasts.
Best Holiday Good Cheer to all my Freeper friends. God Bless and Merry Christmas.
To: WhoisAlanGreenspan?
Nice to meet another September 1998 Freeper. I’m sure your wisdom is greatly appreciated here. And a Blessed & Merry Christmas to you, sir!

I defer to my senior, by 9 months and 9 days.
I feel something especially precious about Christmas this year, as it speaks so poignantly of a time gone by, not just 2000 years, but the past 50 or so too in a personal way, and I for the first time feel it slipping into the past, that we are onto new turf as a nation, as a culture. I fear what we have wrought.
A Blessed and Merry Christmas to you, Z.
