Is it a secret election, unlike the vote for Speaker?

This would be more of an earthquake than Cantor’s loss. We need a true conservative voice in a leadership role. This would give me hope than Speaker Suntan will not be reelected as Speaker next year. It would also rally true conservatives throughout the country to vote this fall.

I thought I read on Fox that he is running for Majority Leader....in opposition to McCarthy.

If he did happen to win, the MSM/Dems would annoint him ‘white Hispanic’ so they can vilify him without feeling guilty.

House conservatives better get some of their own in the leadership positions.

In January 2013, they had the votes to deseat Boehner, but at the last minute, Bachmann’s and a couple of others’ spines turned to jelly. Boehner was so appreciative that he dumped Bachmann from her committee chairmanship.

This is my oldest son Matthew greeting Congressman Raul Labrador in Baghdad a couple of years back.

Matt serves in the Idaho National Guard and lives in Labrador's district.

Congressman Labrador is by trade an immigration lawyer, and a few years ago worked with the Dems extensively to bring about "immigration reform," until he finally saw the political liability he was creating for himself in ID-1. Then he pulled out and took a more "nuanced" position.

Suffice it to say that, personally, I don't trust him on this critical issue of national survival.

That's about all I have to say on this subject, because I can't stand McCarthy either.

But conservatives should know the facts.

Who the hell wants a "middleman" for an assignment as GOP House leader dealing with a contentious national issue!

No way, Jose....er, Raul.

We want a "right", not a "middle" man.
