I don't care if you guys block McCarthy. He made the trip to Mar a Lago to kiss the ring after Jan 6. He has been rolled by the so-called Freedom Caucus; what will liberals do to him?
In the general election moderates and Independents aren't blocking the election of an executive branch officer, they're just not voting for your preferred candidate. I'm not holding anyone hostage for my vote. You guys nominate candidates and I'll consider them. I'm not asking for anything.
I probably am a small minority so why do you care?
What case? I might plead guilty?
You guys just aren't meant to govern, just complain
Lol. From the guy whose preferred candidate for Speaker could not get the votes after three attempts.
Then stop complaining that a handful of conservative insurgents are standing against Kevin McCarthy. Not your fight.
In other words, at least a handful of House Republicans are saying they're fine with a Democratic speaker and Democrats effectively controlling the House, despite the outcome of the 2022 midterm elections. Note that these are exactly the kinds of Republicans who call each other "RINO," contend that other Republicans aren't tough enough or smart enough, and simply believe that others aren't willing to do what it takes to win.
Right now, in the House, the GOP is a nominal or technical majority party with a large faction which has no interest in acting like a majority. They may well be happier being in the minority.

I think I mentioned a scenario like this to you in another thread……just a scenario, at this point.
I believe your concern was moderate Republicans cutting a deal that resulted in a Democrat Speaker. This scenario is the Gaetz/Boebert group doing a kamikazie which results in a Democrat Speaker
Okay
I hope you are as proud of the Gaetz/Boebert group as I am of the AZ Never Trumpers.
BTW just pointing out that Trump's endorsement is taking down another candidate
Remember, it's people like me that are stuck in the middle of you clowns.

This isn't draining the swamp. This is just preferring the moccasin to the alligator.
That's not the way I read "goes to plurality." Far more likely that mods crossover to cut some kind of deal with Dems to get enough votes for McCarthy or some other moderate Republican, offering up rules more favorable to the minority, promised legislation, one or more committee chairmanships. There is a template for that kind of structure = the Texas legislature. The organizer of such effort is invariably.....the speaker.Osodecentx said:Quote:Quote:Our Andy McCarthy no relation to the aspiring speaker points out that if twelve House Republicans voted "present," New York Democrat Hakeem Jeffries could be elected speaker.

How sad.
Changing the conversation from the Republican crash to Adam Schiff.
The "Twitter Files" have largely been a dud.
I don't blame some of you for trying to change the subject.
But on the most important issue at hand, though this situation is of their own making, the current fight by the Chaos Caucus is bad for the country. It's also the inevitable fruit of Donald Trump.
Bowing the knee to Trump led to a weak Republican showing in the midterms.
The weak showing led to a narrow Republican majority in the House.
The narrow majority empowered the bomb-throwers.
The bomb-throwers are holding not only the House but also America hostage.
Those who are saying this is somehow a good look for Republicans are putting lipstick on a pig.
This is also a good illustration of the old saying that the only people conservatives hate more than liberals are their fellow conservatives.

Lol!! Violations of the first Amendment of the constitution by sitting government officials who illegally used third parties to do things they were constitutionally prohibited from doing is THE biggest story of the last decade. That leftists in the democrat owned media ignore it only shows how deeply engrained this type of illegal activity is in the left's political machine.
If you aren't calling for every government official who participated in this to be jailed, you are the problem.
