“He’s from California for one thing.”

That is what you’re worried about. There are more republicans in Los Angeles (almost 2,000,000) than in some states. The problem is not location, he is a gutless coward and will not stop voter fraud, corrupt DOJ, punish coup attempters, fight the Dems on their level, anything he will do is for show. He will sit back and laugh as the country is being destroy.

And the fact that the majority of Republicans go along with this just proves how worthless the Republican party is.

McCarthy is a deep-state back-stabbing weasel who will be Paul Ryan/John Boehnor/Mitch McConnell like in his efforts to thwart and defeat legitimate conservative efforts to reform and protect our government.

NEVER TRUST THIS GUY!!!!!

McCarthy said yesterday that Biden’s immigration policy at the border needs to be investigated.

Can someone explain why the policy of opening the gates and importing hordes of people here illegally needs to be investigated? What is the mystery about surging the border that needs to be uncovered and rooted out? Why can’t McCarthy understand that slamming the border shut immediately is all that is needed, and spend the rest of the time impeaching Biden?

On the contrary, McCarthy is thinking that a six months long investigation delay will be the excuse needed to allow a couple of more million illegals into the country.

It’s playacting. It’ll be the usual. Grandstanding questions and obfuscating answers.

McCarthy may not be ideal, but we could do worse. We’re all tired of the hold-my-nose-and-vote routine, but sometimes pragmaticism is still the best strategy.

There’ll be a lot more we have in common with McCarthy than any of the Democrats. It would be foolish to throw away the speakership by letting the Democrats choose.

"So arrogant a$$wipe McCarthy will likely make a deal with Democrats to vote present to lower the threshold for Speaker. Because that's what these people do."

That is not what is going to happen. For the third and last time, this is simply negotiation tactics for committee slots, budgeting ... c’mon you all, wise up.

Of course, then ya'll can flip out on the conservatives who made some noise but took the committee seats and made McCarthy Speaker on the first round. LOFL...

What the pragmatist fails to realize is that the Democrats are choosing. MAGA doesn't have a voice and must always compromise because the RINOs never will. We either support their candidate or the Democrats win. It's a coercive argument where the RINOs never hold their noses for us. In fact, they work to defeat conservatives far harder than they work against any Democrat.

“It’s a coercive argument where the RINOs never hold their noses for us. In fact, they work to defeat conservatives far harder than they work against any Democrat.”

Unfortunately, too true.

I felt that when Romney ran for the Senate it would have been better to vote for the Democrat, even if that led to a Democrat majority. He’s that bad.

On the other hand, Roe v. Wade was overturned through a better court makeup, and a few other smaller victories came about. I think without a few RINOs helping, this would not have happened.

i know you probably did not mean for that post to be funny but it’s hard not to laugh sometimes at how outrageous DC is, and this McCarthy clown is a perfect example. Thanks for the laughs.

I’ll tip my hat to the new Constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray
We don’t get fooled again
Don’t get fooled again, no, no
Yeah
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

Hat tip to The Who. Prophetic.

No, it’s both and Ds are far worse. Unfortunately we didn’t do well this election and worst performances were generally the maga faction, so it’s going to be McCarthy

Exactly - if we had won 245 seats it would be a different story

McCarthy needs to man up - - stop buying every lie that drops from the mouth of liberal BS'ers. If McCarthy can do that - and there's no one better - then it's him.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's backing McCarthy. That's worth considering.
