On to a 9th vote!

I called my congressman's office - Jerry Carl of Alabama. I urged the Congressman to vote for Donalds of Florida as a compromise candidate. I don't think McCarthy or Jordan can win... unless McCarthy gives Gaetz/Boebert wing all concessions. Donalds can bridge the divide.

When did refusing to tow the party line become embarrassing?

Some of you would have made great Redcoats.

---

Redcoats? Maybe, but that's a bit dated. These guys are proles, blissfully going about their labor to keep their masters in power over them.

---

You've found my Achilles heel, making dated references.

Are they ready to vote Jim Jordan in yet?

Rudderless ship.

The guy trying to be the rudder indeed sucks. He should give up and let somebody else rudder for a change.

Disagree with OP.

I think this is actually GOOD for Republicans. I am sick and tired of people just "going along" to "get along". It has led this country down a dark, dirty, wasteful path to where we are today.

We need to elect people who will FIGHT for our rights, fight for our country, and fight for their constituents.

I'm with the 20 hoping it grows to 218 for Donalds or someone not named McCarthy.

McCarthy is nothing more than a DC Swamp rat like McConnell and Schumer.

Answer me this: What will change for the better in this country with McCarthy as Speaker?????

What games would they rather play?

Roll back Obongocare Game.
Cut taxe Game.
Fix immigration Game.
Investigate Hunter Biden and the 10% Big Guy Game.

Establishment R's have had multiple opportunities to solve the first 3 in the past two decades. If you think McCarthy as SoH would even touch the first three with any real change, you would be a fool.

Establishment Rs will use any Biden investigation as an opportunity to campaign for 24/26.

Agreed.
I think the idea is to put in a rudder that pulls to the right or at least doesn't pull left.

Because having the rudder with Boehner and Ryan the last couple of times did SO much for the party.

Shocking.....OP drives by and drops off a thread, never to be heard from again to discuss why he's wrong.

Knew to not click on this thread but did just to make sure.

Yep, complete waste of time confirmed.

Kevin Mccarthy is embarrassing himself. No one else has need of being embarrassed.

If McCarthy can't fight and get R's in line an how do you expect him to take on the democrat's?

oh wait - that's what R's are good at... giving in and going along.

I think a little fight in the R's ranks is a GOOD thing.

What a shame.

How am I wrong? Even most of the Republicans in chat seem upset at how their party leaders are behaving.

I don't like how most of the Republicans have behaved. Particularly the uniparty Crenshaw type neo-cons. Fair enough.

I HATE and LOATHE the way the Democrats behave and virtually EVERY part of their agenda - promoting sodomy and gender bender insanity, abortion, high taxation, high regulation, gun confiscation, etc...

But among the Democrats - I RESPECT the squad members, though I loathe them. They don't feign 'bi-partisanship' and tell me EXACTLY what their Marxist agenda is and declare me to be their enemy.

A far left kid talking about politicians "embarrassing themselves". LOL

You are very far from being in a position to fling poo.

---

Yup. He voted for a president who **** his pants while visiting the pope and wants to lecture us on politicians embarrassing themselves.

Other than wanting to see the Biden crime family, Fauci and government interference investigated I'm fine with them shutting down the House until the next election. Might do less harm to We The People that way.

These are the guys supposedly "taking back the country from the libs"? I'm surprised they were able to find the rear end theyve shoved their heads into without calling an additional caucus.

They don't vote for a ******, unlike democrat lemmings.

Oh I completely agree. What the establishment failed to realize through McCain/Romney/Boehner/Ryan is the part is strongest when it represents the people. That's what Trump was able to seize on. But the establishment wants to keep doing what they always do.

I'm all for the clown show continuing as more and more Americans will wake up to the fact the Republican Party has zero interest in actually governing or making life better for everyday people. They'd rather play games.

Your moderate concern is moderately noted.

Gigem314 said:

The last 2 years haven't been a clown show…but McCarthy not getting enough votes is a clown show.

Ok.

---

Nothing can be referred to as a clown show unless Joe Biden is stumbling over his random thoughts trying to find his English. The last two years the clown show has started at the top. This is bad and the last two years terrible but save clown show for the big guy. Lol

For the Op don't worry about this find a job work hard and pay off all your own bills. Only way it is to be done. Tired of working to pay for all your liberal policy.

It really doesn't matter how many votes it takes or how "embarrassing" it is. In 6 months nobody will care. That being the case, I hope the Freedom Caucus sticks to their guns.

I remember when The Squad threatened to do to Pelosi what the Freedom Caucus is actually doing to McCarthy RIGHT NOW.

Instead, they became happy Swamp creatures, got their millions and Met Gala invites, and got in line.

Real change is coming from the Right.

The only thing embarrassing is the Dem platform and fiscal policies. Absolute tard-on-display with flaming racism as its core.

Something I always remember going back to the beginning of harry reid… they are always together every step. We are always splintered.

So much wrong with this thinking.

Define Marxism, and how you think I support it

Really? What's wrong with it. the midterms SHOULD HAVE been a slam dunk.
