I heard yesterday from Mark Levin I think that the guy from FL has experience being a speaker in the FL state capitol?

Or the rumors on his affair with another congress woman.

That's my thought exactly.

Chaffetz is a climber and a phony. K Street will buy him out in no time.

That is true. He served as speaker of Florida House, probably before Marco Rubio.

That is good conjecture, however as I said, without a UNITED House, Obama will run roughshod over the congress.

“Chaffetz is a climber and a phony. K Street will buy him out in no time.”

Agreed! What about Trey Gowdy? Has he expressed any interest in the position?

I would like to know if Ted Cruz has offered any suggestions...since he is the de facto leader of the rebellion again Turtle McConnell in the Senate, who would he like to see fulfilling the same role in the House?

Good, I’d rather have Charlie McCarthy (Murphy Brown’s brother).

Rep. Daniel Webster: Power vs. Principle Why I Am Running For Speaker Of The House Louie Gohmert's pick. Would love for Louie to be Speaker, but he probably wouldn't get enough votes.

GotNews.com has been hit with a cease and desist letter from the counsel of Congresswoman Renee Ellmers amid allegations of her own martial infidelity.

GotNews.com stands by its story regarding the DC, NC, and Bakersfield rumors regarding an alleged affair between Congresswoman Renee Ellmers and Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy. We look forward to the opportunity to avail ourselves of deposition with seated members of congress should it come to that..

The timing of all of this is pretty “interesting” shall we say. In the meanwhile, Boehner is screwing up the works, postponing the election, etc. Mark Steyn currently on the air saying “this does not smell as it should smell” & “parliamentary malodorous”.

All Fox News’ favorites are tanking. Jeb Bush is no longer registering in the polls (single digits) and now McCarty. Yet the establishment crew at Fox remain clueless.

“parliamentary malodorous”

Gotta love Steyn’s turn of a phrase.

Jeb Bush was just singing the praises of Daniel Webster from Florida. So he’s out of the mix.

Actually there are conservatives from California and, although not always easily found, they are some of the best ones.

Reagan of course.

But what about Tom McClintock, the U.S. Representative for California’s 4th congressional district? He’s a thoroughbred.

And hey, what about me? I’m a good guy and a pretty darn good freedom fighter...

:)

Boner wants a rino who will continue to do what rinos do so he called Dennis Hastert to offer him the job but Hastert reminded him that he’s got his own troubles right now. /s

Newt Gingrich for speaker. He would shake things up!
