Among the freeper McCarthy comments:
McCarthy sold out the CA Gop in the 2010 redistricting .
In secret meeting with Dems , the viper signed off a plan that saved his seat and wiped out 7 gop safe seats giving the Dems filibuster proof majorities in the Ca State house.
He is a silicon valley H 1 Visas- Amnesty puppet !
But he is a mean blood thirsty creep . He is the worst option outside Ryan ! We need to stop him !

Even as McCarthy frequently pressed conservatives to vote for major spending measures that pushed California further into debt, he retained their loyalty and found ways to reward them.
“He’ll use the same tools and traits that he had to keep together a group of 32 of us back then while also being able to talk to Democrats that wanted to be productive,” said Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-Calif.), a roommate of McCarthy’s when they served together in the State Assembly.
Those tools, colleagues said, included extraordinary gestures in which McCarthy would reward members for the kinds of unpleasant votes that came regularly for conservatives as then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) tried to salvage the state’s economy by borrowing and increasing spending.
McCarthy’s caucus was outnumbered 48 to 32, but with a supermajority requirement back then for fiscal bills, Republicans were needed. And with the state deeply in debt, Schwarzenegger relied on McCarthy to help secure approval to take a measure to voters to borrow $15 billion to cover the state’s record operating shortfall — a debt the state is only now finishing paying off.
At one point, every Republican House member received a new iPod compliments of McCarthy (and his campaign account).
On the Assembly floor, Republicans could often be seen sporting shiny new gold-and-white watches with the insignia of the chamber to connote their good standing in McCarthy’s caucus. The $400 watches, and sometimes jackets with the seal of the state, were part of a series of positive reinforcements for meeting or exceeding McCarthy’s fundraising targets.
Flower deliveries for lawmakers’ spouses were a regular occurrences. Villines said McCarthy seemed to be constantly soaking up such personal details of everyone’s life. “You’d be having a conversation with him about a birthday or graduation, and he’d go back and put it in the database,” Villines said. “Next thing you knew, you’d get a card.”
