Hard-line conservatives are fuming over the debt deal compromise being negotiated between Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and the White House — and they’re warning about collapsing GOP support.
Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.) said he was “concerned about rumors” he was hearing about a deal that would raise the debt ceiling higher than what House Republicans proposed without getting more concessions in return...
“What I’m hearing is that they punted student loans. What I’m hearing is that they’re not engaging and making the changes necessary to the Inflation Reduction Act, which has basically got a $1.2 trillion price tag. What I’m hearing is that they’re not talking about getting rid of the IRS,” Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) said.
Roy is underwhelmed with what he thinks might be in it.
“What I’m hearing is you got work requirements and some spending cuts,” he said. “You want to come sell that to me while also increasing the debt ceiling by another 4 trillion? … That certainly doesn’t get me excited.”
Thirty-five members of the hard-line House Freedom Caucus and their allies wrote a letter to McCarthy Thursday expressing their displeasure with where they see a deal going and suggesting that McCarthy add more demands like border security measures to debt talks — something the Speaker has previously rejected.
That letter could represent a baseline number of members who will not vote for a compromise deal.
The prevailing wisdom among Republicans is that McCarthy will have to win support of the overwhelming majority of Republicans in order to keep the support of his conference...

Headline tax rates are lower as well. But otherwise yeah
I’m not believing anything coming from The Swill. What they are writing is intended to split the GOP apart. I’ll reserve judgement until the final deal is passed and signed.
Then I’ll ridicule McCarthy.
Never overestimate the cowardice of the GOP.
Today the House has app 20 members who I consider fighters. Add 2-3 Senators, and our side has app. 25 reliable members out of total of 535. That’s less that 5% of the congress reliably conservative since Reagan. The conservative movement has crashed and burned and people need to acknowledge this before things can be repaired.
Alriiiiiiiiiight!…. They’re FUMING on our behalf!
But they’re caving by anyway…
I’m SO glad we have a ‘Representative Republic’!!!
So Bidenskyyy got McCarthy to bend over, huh? Damn GOOBers. The RINOs in Texas now want to impeach Paxton because he has a stranglehold on Bidenskyyy and his turd rollers.
There it is.
It was said at the time, Bush wasn’t lying, he didn’t create any new taxes, he just raised the old ones.
McCarthy is definitely saying the right things. The question is will he DO the right thing or cave.
well so far he’s caved on the j6 video footage release ...
Sounds like Bush Sr. lying through his lips about “read my lips, no new taxes”
It is starting to look that way, isn’t it…..
The speaker vote. Didn’t Gaetz/Bobert get the ability to take out McCarthy?
Hold on folks, this is it in a nutshell, all Biden has to do is offer something that 3 useless republicans agree to. 3 flips the 5 majority. Every dem in the house will agree with whatever Biden proposes and there are dozens of bed wetting RINOs that will be happy to vote for anything to keep us from defaulting.
Its not like McCarthy would refuse to hold a vote to throw a fit. As soon as 3 worthless pussy Rs say they will sign on to the dems, it will be a tidle wave.
The ironic thing is the rinos who are mccarthy loyalist will be the first to abandon him to go along with the dems.
This is the whole story in a nutshell.
Evwrything else is created drama for political junkies to sell articles to make a paycheck.
The Deep State Snake strikes again!
it’s just uniparty kabooki theater.
McCarthy will give Joe everything he wants and not one penny more!
please at least cut back the money laudnering in ukraine
Just as one might have expected from a creampuff like McCarthy...
Never attribute to cowardice that which can be attributed to STUPIDITY.
I really want to laugh about being right about Milquetoast McCarthy AGAIN ... and yet I can't.
If the Freedom Caucus doesn't IMMEDIATELY call for a floor vote to replace McCarthy then the country is lost and the Republican Party has gone the way of the Whigs.
“At least the DNC/CCP is honest.”
No. They’re filthy liars. But you’re right in the sense that they don’t hide their anti-faith, anti-family, anti-freedom agenda. They’re the party of abortion, perversion, and sexual abuse of children.
