WASHINGTON — Representative Kevin McCarthy on Thursday abruptly took himself out of the race to succeed John A. Boehner as speaker, apparently undone by the same forces that drove Mr. Boehner to resign.

Now that would be a hell raising time and I would love it!!
Labrador, at least, isn’t trustworthy on illegal immigration.
I think he means GotNews
No. Labrador is an open-borders, anti-American traitor.
Newt can do it, for sure. Unknown if there is enough support for him in the House though.
Haha!
get out Boehner and take chaffetz with you.
Tenure[edit]
In August 2011 during the 2011 United States debt ceiling crisis, Gowdy opposed Speaker John Boehner’s debt limit bill, and he voted against the final debt ceiling agreement.[21] He also opposed the 2011 defense authorization bill, citing concerns about the prospect of Americans being detained without trial on national security grounds.[22] In December 2010, he told Congressional Quarterly that he would support a measure only if its sponsor could demonstrate that the Constitution gave the government the power to act in a particular realm.[9]
Gowdy worked on the Committee on Judiciary, the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and the Committee on Education and the Workforce. Gowdy frequently speaks on the floor of the House on issues ranging from Fast and Furious to his support for the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act.
In 2012, he received the Defender of Economic Freedom award from the fiscally conservative 501(c)4 organization Club for Growth. The award is given to the members of Congress who have the year’s highest ranking, according to the Club for Growth’s metrics. Gowdy scored 97 out of 100, and was one of 34 congressmen given the award.[23]
An ardent social conservative, Gowdy considers himself “pro-life plus.” He not only believes “in the sanctity of life,” but argues that “the strategy should be broader than waiting for the Supreme Court to revisit Roe v. Wade.”[24]
Trey Gowdy signed the Contract From America, which aims to defund, repeal, and replace the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, limit United States Environmental Protection Agency regulations, enact a reform of the federal tax code, pass a balanced budget amendment, and end earmarks.[25][26]
Isn’t he pro-amnesty?
Bwahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Same Charles Johnson runs both? Green Footballs got Dan Rathernot on the W Bush fraud, Rathernot was supporting docs using Times New Roman font before it existed.
Ben Carson for Speaker of the House.
That’s one of those fun-to-discuss quirks of the Constitution that probably isn’t actually true.
Different Chuck Johnson I think.
Do you agree he might take it if a consensus drafted him?
Jim Jordan not Webster because he’s not that conservative and he could get redistricted out altogether.
That’s very interesting. Thank you for the link. It’s also interesting that, for once, Slate considers the intentions of the Founding Fathers!
Doesn't it make you wonder why the founding fathers incorporated that provision ? Obviously, they anticipated a time when it would be necessary. Its time.
could be? I’m sure it IS.. now if the other RINOS will drop out.... and the Conservatives put a TRUE CONSERVATIVE in...
