I actually agree. Big group of waste fraud and abuse.
Yes!!!
They were “moderate” because that’s what the public wanted - continuation of FDR’s New Deal, i.e. socialism lite! Any Republican who even hinted at rolling back the New Deal got no where! Does Barry Goldwater ring a bell? The best you were going to get was a “sort-of-we-can-manage-it-better-with-conservative-principles” or as my late father describes “Me To-ism “.
The public wanted “socialist magic” how can a GOP politician say no if he wanted a career in politics. It’s still that way!
Not a bad idea, but I’m guessing the dems and RINOS have something up their sleeves.
Yes.
If they are going to surrender to the Democrats on all major topics, they are not one of ours at all. There is no loss to us in ejecting them from their positions.
And then, there is the fact that almost nothing has changed since January.
Because they are not going to vote for a Republican for Speaker.
No the House cannot work until a New Speaker in elected 1st in a new Congress. Since that was done in Jan 2022, the Speaker Pro Tem, Patrick McHenry from NC, will fill the role until the GOP decides to elect a new Speaker.
So it up to the new guy to decide what happens next
it may be that liberal republicans, in order to punish Gaetz, will collude with the Dems and put in a liberal Republican, like they do every session in Texas. I’d wager there are ten Republicans dying to pick a speaker alongside the Dems.
The way I see it, the Democrats get much of what they want because the Republicans give them cover.
Let’s take away that cover and see what happens, when the Rats now own it all.
Hahaha. On so many levels.
This is fantastic news. McCarthy made his own bed.
Watch for RINOs to get revenge by threatening to vote for a Democrat speaker unless they get another RINO.
These bastards deserve bad optics. My former rep Tom Emmer hitched his wagon to loser McCarthy and I’m glad he just got waxed.
“John Fetterman is the honest pick to run the freakshow in DC.”
As the Speaker of House does not have to be in the House of Represenetives nor does the Speaker have to be able to speak.
Fetterman is qualified and I hereby nominate him.
And kiss re-election. Good bye…
He/she could be afraid of shutting down the government but upset that he/she was forced into a last minute up or down vote to keep the government open. Fairly, the process is BS.
Exactly.
Have sympathy for McCarthy- he has an ungovernable house to run with a tiny majority and a fractured and divided group of Republicans - many of whom are real corrupt uni party losers who need to be primaried out of office
They outnumber the more conservative wing and they are able to block any meaningful actions by McCarthy
The country is like a hijacked airliner with a terrorist at the controls bent on crashing the airplane. The pilot is fighting for the controls but the co pilot is holding him back
