Republicans Dump McCarthy For Speaker!

[rightwinger]

Let's see.....

Obama got immigration reform, killed Keystone, recognition of Cuba, same sex marriage, environmental agreement with China, nuclear pact with Iran, preserved Obamacare

What has the mighty Republican Congress gotten out of their big election victory

Lets see now, you call those things accomplishments

Immigration "reform"-------------amnesty is not reform

Keystone---------------kepts us slaves to the mid east mullahs, prevented new american jobs.

recognition of Cuba-------------BFD, who cares. The Castro brothers are still in power.

Same sex marriage----------destruction of the institution of marriage is not an accomplishment

environmental agreement with China? ---------- are you fricken crazy?

nuclear pact with Iran------------------LOL, he surrendered to the ayatollah.

obamacare-------------worst piece of legislation in the history of this nation.

Sorry, dude, but you hero has done nothing positive for the USA.

That is not to say that the GOP majority has done what they were sent to DC to do, and many of them will lose their jobs because of their kowtowing to obozo and fear of the media

I get it

You are conservative and hate anything that is being accomplished by a liberal. Of course you would label all Obama actions as failures...they are failures in the eyes of any conservative

But Obama is winning. Obama is getting his agenda accomplished. Conservatives are losing every fight and have not gotten a single piece of their agenda implimented

That is what is so funny about McCarthy and the Speakership. Republicans are so inept they cannot even agree on a leader let alone pass meaningful legislation

Yes, obama has been successful in getting his agenda to fundamentally transform the USA through. No one is denying that.

But, his agenda is bad for the country. His agenda is to bring the USA down, to punish it for its success, and to break its international power and influence. His agenda has also been to take God from the nation and replace him with Allah. His agenda has been to replace the traditional american family with gays, lesbians, and transgenders. He is the greatest enemy the USA has ever encountered.

Of course it is...to a conservative

I would be more concerned if Conservatives were supporting what Obama has been doing

wrong again, obama's policies are bad for the country no matter where you stand on the political spectrum.

libs think that getting free stuff is great, until the free stuff dries up because there is no longer any federal money to pay for it. What happened in Greece could happen here if we are not very careful very quickly.

Yea...yea

Tell us about that "Train Wreck" Republicans have been predicting for seven years

Tell us about that "Train Wreck" Republicans have been predicting for seven years

It's here, bubba.
Household income lower than when Bush left office
WOrkforce participation lowest since the 1970s
More businesses closing up than opening up
Slowest GDP growth on record
Highest level of debt in history
Worst foreign policy since Carter. Worse than Carter
If this isnt a train wreck I am not certain what is.

Meanwhile, Household wealth has increased by $30 trillion
Labor participation rate has been dropping for 15 years and dropped during Bush too
Corporations are showing record profits
GDP has remained solid
Debt has been increasing since Reagan, so of course it is highest

Yes let's gloss over the failures or hold Bush responsible.
Take out the top 1% of earners and household wealth is lower now.
So basically Obama has failed to improve anything, is what you're saying. Right?

 

[g5000]

Corporations are showing record profits

I think you mean excess profits.

I'm going to take those excess profits.

Update!!

Paul Ryan Will Run For Speaker Of The House If GOP Unites
He wants Republicans to stop being "an opposition party" and agree he won't surrender time with his family. Paul Ryan Will Run For Speaker Of The House If GOP Unites

But what will happen? Can the part of "no" get it together? I'm betting that they can't and that Ryan will walk. Already, the suicide caucus is creating negativity...

‘Willing to listen’: House’s Freedom Caucus skeptical of Ryan’s speaker unity plan Yahoo News Digest — 'Willing to listen': House's Freedom Caucus...

 

[sarahgop]

People that follow national politics know in the back of their mind that this process playing out where Representative Kevin McCarthy seems to be a shoe-in to become the next Speaker of the House is like watching a train wreck occur in slow motion. A Speaker McCarthy is going to be pressured and manipulated by the far right of the Republican Party producing disastrous results. Anyone that has followed Kevin McCarthy's career knows he has at minimum deep sympathies with the far-right in the Republican caucus; this faction of the Republicans cannot govern their too unrealistic their too tunnel vision about their ideals the Republican Party doesn't have the power to accomplish what this faction wants to accomplish they don't get this!



America needs a Speaker that can be a reliable partner to Mitch McConnell like John Boehner and get things done for the country. Kevin McCarthy is at best an unknown entity Senator McConnell will not know whether he can count on him to get bills through the House so this will obstruct Senator McConnell from getting things done in the Senate. Senator McConnell is a leader that knows how to govern meaning that when your party doesn't hold all the levers of power you have to scale back your ambitions. From all indications Representative McCarthy doesn't seem to fully get this resulting in the big question will the House be able to fulfill its role in governing if Mr. McCarthy is the Speaker.



One example is that it is really hurting the country that the charter of the Export/Import Bank has not been renewed, it needs to be renewed now and there is no legitimate question on whether or not it should be. This failure to renew by Congress is causing real tangible hardship; businesses are moving operations off shore to a country that has such a bank , U.S. businesses are losing contracts because of this. All this harm is not trumped by a representatives ideal or principle that U.S. taxpayer revenue should not be backstopping the credit such a bank provides the amount of taxpayer monies on the line here is peanuts compared to the nation's entire liability this line of argument does not hold water. The Republican right wing opposition to the bank doesn't make sense the Republicans are supposed to be pro-business Republicans have long stood for having credit flow to businesses so they can prosper. These far right Republicans are contradicting themselves here because many of them are in favor of doing away with Fannie and Freddie and replacing it with a system where the private sector absorbs initial credit losses if they occur and then the Federal Government will backstop the creditors, why the double standard guys? Private sector lenders really cannot replace the Export/Import bank because the loans are made to foreign government tough to collect on defaults here plus the Export/Import Bank is profitable and is not in any real danger of catastrophic losses. Kevin McCarthy is against renewing the charter and is a zealot about this, the country needs such a guy as a speaker like they need a hole in the head.



America has a Speaker in waiting in Paul Ryan. Mr. Ryan is cut from the same cloth as Mr. McConnell they both are not extremists one can trust them to govern. The country from all political persuasions likes and greatly respects Mr. Ryan from his run for Vice-President. Mr. Ryan as Speaker would be a good mouthpiece on advocating the House "govern" he would get traction in public support for his leadership so that he would be able to provide cover for non-far right House member to vote for the House to govern. Mr. McCarthy would not provide such cover for his fellow caucus members because he would be too busy trying to cater to the far right part of the Republican Party. It's a long shot because Mr. Ryan wants to stay in his chairmanship but rank and file House Republican members should lobby Mr. Ryan to run for the Speakership. What also is needed here is for Democrat House members to show virtue and due their duty and vote for the best candidate that runs for Speaker not just oppose all Republican candidates because their from the other Party!

Reps dumped mccarthy then rolled over and took back boehner(ryan)

Potential Speaker Paul Ryan Just Issued A List Of Demands To Republicans. The Right Wing Isn’t Happy.

Paul Ryan, who has said repeatedly he does not want to be House Speaker, now will consider the position. But only if the all Republican House members, including the hard-line “Freedom Caucus,” agree to a series of demands
What Paul Ryan wants
Paul Ryan has a list of demands.

First, Paul Ryan refuses to agree to anything in advance of being elected speaker. He will not pre-commit to anything the Freedom Caucus wants.

Second, He wants the Freedom Caucus to publicly endorse him for speaker anyway. This would require four-fifths of the Freedom Caucus to vote to support him.

Third, he want the Freedom Caucus to agree to rule changes that would vastly limit their power moving forward. Specifically, he wants to eliminate their ability to oust a sitting speaker by making a motion to “Vacate The Chair.” This is where, fundamentally, the Freedom Caucus derives much of their power.Potential Speaker Paul Ryan Just Issued A List Of Demands To Republicans. The Right Wing Isn’t Happy.

After Republicans in the House have spent weeks scrambling to find a new speaker to unite behind, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) is finally saying he might run, but under a number of conditions. One of those conditions is that the time he currently spends with his wife and children be preserved even if he assumes a more demanding job. “I cannot and will not give up my family time,” he said.

But while Ryan seeks to preserve his own balance between his work and his family, he’s pushed policies that would make doing so more difficult for others, particularly poor parents. Paul Ryan Wants To Preserve His Work/Family Balance While Making It Harder For Poor Parents

Ryan has put forth a number of budgets and policy proposals that call for deep spending cuts. Some of those cuts take aim at an important tool for poor parents: child care subsidies. The sky-high cost of child care in the U.S. can dwarf a parent’s income, particularly a low-income parent.

This is just sick. There are those in the suicide caucus who still want to blow it all up, instead of attempting to unify the party....and over what?!!

Paul Ryan Accused Of Being “The Homosexual Lobby’s Trojan Horse For Speaker”

When it comes to gay rights advocates in Washington, D.C., we think it’s safe to say that Rep. Paul Ryan doesn’t make anyone’s short list.

Ryan supported DOMA in 2013; he supported DADT in 2012; he voted in favor of a constitution ban on same-sex marriage in 2004; he voted to ban gay adoptions in 1999; and he has a zero percent rating with the HRC. That does not an LGBTQ ally make.

Are they crazy, stupid, or just that hateful?? I say all of the above....

Eugene Delgaudio, president of Public Advocate of the U.S., just issued a bombastic call to action to his fellow “pro-family Americans” about Ryan and his candidacy for Speaker of the House.

“Related: Ryan Vows Romney Administration Would Defend DOMA, Fight Gay Marriage

Why it is so crucial? Because, the letter continues, “Paul Ryan co-sponsored and voted for the dangerous Gay Bill of Special Rights in 2007 (H.R. 3685) — a bill that will trample the Constitutional Rights of thousands of Americans.”

In truth, the “Gay Bill of Special Rights” was actually called the “Employment Non-Discrimination Act of 2007” that made it illegal to discriminate against people based on their sexual orientations, and it had absolutely nothing to do with anyone’s religious freedoms. Moreover, the bill was passed by the House in November 2007, but it died in the Senate.

Paul Ryan Is Not The Moderate The Far-Right Says He Is

The fact that Ryan is now seen as a “moderate” in the Republican party shows just how far to the right the party has moved.

Ryan has courted the far-right for years. He has spoken at the Values Voter Summit, an event sponsored by the radically anti-gay Family Research Council, the American Family Association, and others. At the 2012 summit, Ryan’s appearance was billed alongside a litany of ultraconservative leaders and even a self-proclaimed “former terrorist” Kamal Saleem, who told summit attendees that Hillary Clinton would ban churches before leaving the State Department. Ryan has also courted the Religious Right at Ralph Reed’s Faith and Freedom Coalition Conference. Religious Right activists were ecstatic after Mitt Romney selected Ryan as his running mate, with Reed praising Ryan for his stellar anti-choice voting record.

Ryan also promotes a far-right policy agenda. He is vehemently anti-choice, going so far as to support forcing pregnant victims of rape to carry their pregnancies to term. Ryan even partnered with Todd “Legitimate Rape” Akin to introduce a bill that would have given zygotes personhood, effectively criminalizing many forms of birth control.

Furthermore, Ryan has vowed to oppose marriage equality and is a climate change denier. This record has won Ryan the praise of Religious Right activists including Concerned Women for America’s Penny Nance, the Family Research Council’s Tony Perkins, and the American Family Association’s Bryan Fischer, who noted that Ryan’s voting record fit with “biblical understanding” of the environment.
