I agree. How many years have we been fighting the GOPe on Amnesty?

Right after they took control of the party in a coup after the 1994 wins. By early 1996 they had full control of what got considered and what did not.

But he's Rated A by the ALIPAC, indicating a strongly anti-amnesty stance

I can't find that.

On Fox the reporter covering the elections said that Scalise is aligned with the Tea Party and is a southerner, and that’s why he got elected, to offset the establishment election of McCarthy.

this vote says the real base of the GOP is big donors, the Chamber of Commerce and Karl Rove paid consultants not Conservative voters.

Scalise is my rep. I’m not a Texan.

Leapfrog I am disappointed in you. As a conservative you are supposed to base yourself on facts - you only gave part of the total - overall he has an A- from Numbers USA. Let me guess, you work for the media?? :)

I think you should look at my reply again. I did NOT give ANY information except to direct you to look at the post I quoted from and told you WHO posted it and what post # it was on this thread.

I had nothing to do with digging up any info on this person and was just trying to show you what another poster said as the reason to be upset about the new Majority Leader.

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

Nash. If it were out of control, the gop wing of the uniparty would be a mere memory. A bogey man story that kids would scare each other with.

I just saw it on "on the issues" I'll see if there's a link. Actually, never heard of Kevin MCarthy until today and now I see he's from CA. gag me. I didn't realize that till just now. That prejudices me against him right there. I'll look for that link.

I find it kind of hard to read - this is just the link from on the issues - I’m still having difficulty figuring out exactly HOW they came to the “A” rating.

Here’s another conservative rating system which gives a better picture of what Rep. McCarthy has done:

http://www.heritageactionscorecard.com/members/member/M001165

Current rating: 42%
Overall lifetime rating of 50%

He is definitely a slap in the face to conservatives.

Alright, let’s look at the scorecard...

Democrats get the House they elect THE most partisan bulldog (Pelosi) that they can find... The GOPe elects Bohner, Cantor & now McCarthy...

Democrats win the Senate and they elect the most vile, vicious bulldog (Reid) that they can find... The GOPe elects McConnell...

No wonder we get our a$$ kicked...

As I’ve said on here many times:

Democrats are trained by the mob.
Republicans are trained by country clubs.

You’re exactly right. The Rs elect the namby-pamby whiners and criers and the Ds elect the hard core jerks.
