A House GOP source has confirmed to Breitbart News that House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy was the one who drafted the secret criteria list House Speaker John Boehner used in his purge of conservatives from House committees. The source, someone with inside knowledge of how Boehner conducted the purge, told Breitbart News that McCarthy crafted the list, which included a scorecard of where several conservative members stood on certain votes. According to the source, its unclear at this time whether McCarthy made the list of his own accord or if he did so at the request of somebody else in GOP leadership like Boehner or House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.

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.

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.
‘moribund Republican party’
You deeply understand the GOP in CA... there is nothing they will not do for money..
however, Tom McClintock would be great in leadership in congress
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
On 9/10/98 I was eight years old! (-:
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!
I “officially joined” January 1, 1998, so I’ll soon be 15 as well!
Great minds think alike I suppose!
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.
Nice to meet another September 1998 Freeper. I’m sure your wisdom is greatly appreciated here. And a Blessed & Merry Christmas to you, sir!
