This isn't Rocket Science.
Just go look at any ranking of members of the House of Representatives by any conservative group and you will find that the Republican members of the House range from VERY CONSERVATIVE to ALMOST AS BAD AS THE DEMOCRATS.
Now scroll down and you will see all the Republicans at the top of the list and all the Democrats at the bottom. There will be a few exceptions but not many.
At the top are the CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS. They are not ever considered for the leadership of the House. Never, ever, ever, ever.
Now look at the MIDDLE OF THE PACK for the Republicans. That's where you find the mushy-headed quasi liberals like Paul Ryan. Vote conservative some times, support the Dems sometimes. Predictably bad. That's where we always choose our GOP leadership when we have a House Majority. Newt Gingrich is the only exception in memory. Our only decent House Majority Leader.
Of course I agree with you. My quandary was more rhetorical in nature.
There are actually a very precious few congressmen there that are true Americans and they are often dispatched by the elitist money regime when they become a problem.
That’s because if the so called CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS were in leadership positions, they’d be expected to actually stand up for their supposed convictions, which they have no interest in doing. They didn’t sign up for a fight, they signed up for a gravy train! THROW ALL THE BUMS OUT!
