House Speaker Vote Live 2nd Thread

[Mesaclone]

The fact that the Democrats and their media support McCarthy for speaker tells you all you need to know.
If the Democrats want it, whatever it is, you know it cannot be a good thing for America.

Except they don't support him, that's just something you've made up to feel better.

The media and the Dems are in love with 6 holdout morons....LOVE. They are twitterpated that these fools will continue making Conservatives look like dysfunctional monkeys. THAT is why they are cheering this on...and that is why these 6 fools are little more than useful idiots.

Right.  And I don't think everyone who doesn't agree with Gaetz, Boebert, and Biggs can fairly be labelled a "RINO".

That's because RINOs are now the Republican Party.  Because of GOP allegiance to the Uniparty, Conservatives are now the ones who are Republican in Name Only, since they don't buy into the liberalism that today's GOP embraces.

Not until it shows up in writing, it's not.  Trust but verify.

The written agreement was signed days ago

Keep wearing that aluminum foil hat...tell me again how Jim Jordan is a RINO (he's been supporting McCarthy through 14 votes...clearly he's a uniparty guy, right?)

For clarity, when people like Jordan are too soft and too liberal for ya...its a you problem.

It was.  Easy for you to find.

Jim Jordan and Chip Roy are uniparty?

Nonsense. Jordan had too much to lose ... Of course he stayed out of the fray.

That does nothing at all to the argument that the GOP is littered with moderate and liberal RINOs, and that they stand in direct opposition to the Conservative agenda. Nor the bare fact that the globalist moderates who control the party would rather deal with democrats than deal with conservatives.

You are a delusional fanatic. I cannot take anything you post seriously.

I've been fighting @roamer_1  for years here at TBR about the so called binary choice for the betterment of the country around party loyalty.  I am about to concede. 

If any thing has taught me this week, is that the "Uni-Party label"  is more than a motif.  It's a real and destructive force strangling  the long term functionality of this country.

I was a pioneer southern Republican, and the 3rd in the history of my County to Register so in 1975.  Looks like that relationship is crumbling

There is zero connection between my post and your response.

The crippling of the House GOP - because that is exactly what has happened - benefits the House Democrats more than anyone else.

Actually it wasn't, not even on Twitter. I'm not sure what I found is even current.

A press conference would bring much more clarity, but I'm sure Old Kevs doesn't like that kind of sunshine.

Pretty sure the FC doesn't want any of it public either.

Of course they would want it to be public - That's why this whole episode happened as it did.

Seen that, thx.

From reading the underlying article in The Hill, this seems to be from "sources".  The agreements, etc., don't appear to have been punished officially by either McCarthy or the FC.  That's pretty common in negotiations.

If they are still negotiating. Once it's done, Old Kevs needs to do a press conference, but he won't.

Well, it won't really matter because the rules votes and committee assignments are public anyway.

It puts him on record, and the press conference publicly commits his support for said agreement.
