    I thought mccarthy would get tough, but he won't. So, I change my mind and say to vote AGAINST mccarthy.

    I'm sick of the cowards and the rinos.

    It's dummies like you that stall any progress.

  • McCarthy is compromised.  
    Nothing patriotic about him.

  • I can’t wait for the greater good speech.  
     

    flush these turds 

  • Boebert came across as unhinged tonight.

    According to the article you posted, McCarty is a demonrat kiss ass, or as they put it, a "Demonrat lite". 

    The GOP is all flash and noise, but it doesn’t have the willingness to fight meaningfully against a Democrat Party that has become unquestioningly radicalized. McCarthy is, for all intents and purposes, a perfect reflection of the Republican Party as Gaetz described.

    So the 19 or 20 Freedom Caucus Rs aren't radicalized? They've got some crazy demands. 

    It will probably never happen due to the outlandish money both parties have, but the nation should consider non-partisan primaries at the very least. Maybe that could weed out the extremists on both sides...they are the ones holding DC & the nation hostage.

    Crazy demands? Like what? And, like I would ask anybody else, chapter and verse please. I haven't really heard anything crazy or radical. Maybe there's something I'm not aware of.

    No they are not. Not even close. What was once in the middle has gone left. Adhering to basic conservative principles is now what you people call "radical".

    What position of theirs would you consider radical? Being anti baby killer? Securing the border?

    The "motion to vacate" specifically. Totally unreasonable for a leader to agree to.

    And don't lump me into "you people," you don't even know me.

    I give her credit for her passion but I'm surprised this Freedom Caucus gives her the microphone so much. She's the R version of AOC

    That's #1 for me. 

    Why would an elected leader agree to toe such a thin line? It used to be 5 reps could give a "no confidence" vote up, Pelosi ditched it ( I believe, could be wrong). 

    Now the Freedom Caucus wants it to be one rep? Silly

  • The problem for me is I don't trust Politicians on either side of the aisle... McCarthy is just like every other politician who wants power and I simply do not trust him...

    I don't think we are talking about two different things are we? I'm just saying with all the improprieties all the rule changes all the ignoring of whatever state election laws were overlooked etc etc and given the fact that some elections we decided on less than half a point and if what I believe to be is the covid hoax made it impossible to conduct a proper election that it's not unreasonable to ask them to do it again. Like the Buffalo Cincinnati game. One may or may not get the result they would be looking for but it's not unreasonable to ask I don't think.

    On that issue I strongly disagree with you. First of all the Democrats are much more in lockstep second of all the Democrats policies are much worse than the ones the Republicans have stated. I don't hear one single Democrat bitching about the complete breakdown of the Border and the flood of illegals.

    I don't hear one single Democrat bitching about making ourselves dependent on foreign oil.

    I don't hear one single Democrat bitching about Street crime which is rampant except as a man's to demand the Banning of scary looking weapons that account for almost none of that violence.

    And this one is more bipartisan but I don't hear hardly anybody bitching about flushing billions and billions of American tax dollars down the toilet to prop up the fraud in Ukraine.

  • Also Bob even the fake conservative's over here have decided to jump on the Democrat bandwagon for no other reason than hatred of trump. Bitching about tax cuts for the rich bitching about the pipeline bitching about drilling in Anwar whining about trying to control illegal immigration.

    I didn't particularly think that the wall was the best way to stop it but it's a tool that along with plenty of other measures might make a dent. But face it most of the actual complaints about Trump have been from after he was no longer president.

    Well I  can tell you that in both bowling leagues I'm in, these subjects are talked about between folks, and it's a pretty good cross-section of America, NE Ohio. Younger folks, older folks, minorities, people with money, people who may not have as much money....everybody is concerned about all those issues. No, I don't ask about political leanings but my guess is that bowlers are like America- moderates who blow left or right depending on an issue. 

    At the local republican club (Panera in Middleburg Hts lol), I was in total agreement with the guys & gals who were pissed about Pelosi & Harris holding up the Ukraine flag. While I bet most of America is empathetic towards the situation in Ukraine, I sense many don't want any involvement with it at all. The seemingly endless money pit from the USA to foreign lands is puzzling to say the least, and it's been going on for decades. We're obviously over-taxed.

    I think Trump may have won the 2020 election easily if Covid never happened. Most folks would have looked past his egomania and looked at the economy, which was doing well.

    Absolutely  !   Donald J. Trump was set for term two until this Chinese virus bomb didn't show up on the world.

    NO Democrat was in position to take him on and win.   Then, well, we know what happened next.   DJT and his fatal mistakes. 

    History would have been quite different than it is now.
