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.

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.

Nowhere in my post did I offer that opinion of Jim Jordan.  You simply made it up.

McCarthy Warns Not Voting For Him Could Delay More Funds To Ukraine

WASHINGTON, DC — Amid protracted negotiations for the speakership in the House Of Representatives, former House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (CA, R) has issued a stern admonition that further delay in the process could hold up the important work of continued funds for Ukraine.

"We have continued this charade for long enough – if I am not elected Speaker of the House in the next round of voting, we face the very real possibility of Ukraine not receiving their next $44 billion allowance." said McCarthy. "Zelensky is looking down from the sky with those dreamy eyes of his, waiting for us to do the right thing."

We still don't know all the details of this so called agreement.  Anyone here trust McCarthy?

NO!

I guess that's why they have to get it in writing and have him sign it. When he suspends the rules and violates the agreement they can at least hold it up and say "see he lied to us".

Well, the rules are voted on as a package.  If he tries to screw the FC by leaving out the agreed-upon rules, then the FC just won't vote for the rules package at all, and the vote will fail.  And he can't run the house without the rules.

Unless it's in the signed agreement and agreed to by the House the Speaker has the power to suspend the rules.

Doesn't matter if it is in the signed agreement.  Only matters is if it is the Rules themselves, and the FC's votes are needed to approve them.

Matt Gaetz: Kevin McCarthy Likely to Win Speakership

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), a vocal opponent of House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), signaled to reporters that McCarthy may be headed for a victory in the speaker race after more than half of those who had initially opposed him flipped their vote in favor of the leader in the 12th round of voting Friday afternoon.

Does that mean he will resign? Isn't that what he said?

I believe he said he'd resign if McCarthy got in because of Democrat votes.  So this wouldn't qualify.

Of course, he still looks like something of a jackass for repeatedly saying McCarthy should withdraw because there was absolutely no chance of him getting enough votes, and calling him derogatory names for staying in anyway.

Gaetz is talking nice talk now.  McCarthy is a standup guy, and all that.

The important thing is that the ability of the House to spend money should be severely curtailed.  Hopefully, the Conservatives got McCarthy to agree to every bit of what they wanted.

We should know right off.  If no other Republican besides McCarthy is nominated, it's a done deal.
