One good thing I heard today on the radio was that these positions will only last 12 days. First, Cantor isn’t stepping down as Maj Leader until July 31. Then they go on Summer recess. Then the mid-term elections.

These positions will have to be voted on again in January and hopefully more Tea Party types will win and oust Boehner, McCarthy and the rest (Issa for one - he’s useless).

I want to know how Marsha Blackburn voted. She’s becoming more and more GOPe.

I am hopeful that my last vote for Republicans will be this November.

By 2016 we will have a new conservative political party, not beholden or part to any existing party.

The GOP has to go the way of the Whigs.

They are done.

No one has the stomach for open revolution.

They will when the economy takes the next nosedive.

From Cantor to McCarthy.

Sad news.

Maybe Mark Levin will give the GOPe a tongue lashing in 15 minutes. That is about all we have to look forward to.

The GOP is not much better than the Dems, except that their trek to complete government is a tad slower.

I actually saw some optimistic news today. The approval rating for Congress is 7% per gallup. The consensus for actual change is there. Hell 93% of Americans can’t agree on anything except maybe breathing is a good idea. But 93% agree that Congress sucks.

Secure our borders by deploying advanced technologies.

Which means no security at all. This is from the same government that can't save emails from the most high ranking officials.

Kevin McCarthy has an outstanding voting record.

What is the problem here?

You’d think he just voted to import Lenin’s corpse to Washington and use it to replace the Lincoln memorial.

People’s hate of the GOP is getting a little out of control here these days.

6 years of Obama seems to be driving people a bit crazy

But, but, but, but ... Medved and a few other "talk-show conservatives" implore that the most effective way to change the GOP is from within ....

They're full of diaper pies. The GOP right now is the problem. See any Conservatives allowed much time even on FAUX News? No it's always the same Diaper Pies like Rove, McAmnesty, Hi Lindsey, etc. and some pretend I'm a conservative talking heads. Every time Obama farts they grab those Idiots and put them on the air to bloviate as the Conservative viewpoint.

I stopped straight party ticket voting in 1996, went Independent meaning best candidate regardless of party especially independents, and have no regrets. Last U.S. Senate election I voted for a DEM who was Conservative pro-life. No regrets. Unfortunately for our nation the RINO won and yesterday he called for a gas tax increase.

I'd like to take away the congressional & federal office holders LIMO's and fuel allowances myself. Make the Tyrants live like "We The People" must live including paying for our own vehicle cost. No more Perks, no more special allowances, and put a $20M Tax on each stinking Lobbyist no matter who they represent.

Lobbyist are the ultimate in corrupt DC scumbag tyrants. Your voice in congress is not heard by anyone nor influences anyone anymore despite calls and letters. However these cash loaded briefcase check writing SOB's can buy anytime access to officials & legislation including amnesty.

Roskam was defeated by Scalise of Louisiana for Whip. Both are quite faithful lackeys of Boehner/Cantor/McCarthy and of the Shameless Chambers of Commerce school of selling out conservatives. Henry Hyde would be quite disappointed in Roskam.

Yep. The GOP is populated largely by people who think big government is just fine as long as it’s their brand of big government.
