Kevin McCarthy for Speaker

The Definition of Insanity

If Republicans want different results they need to

stop doing the same thing over and over

1 Jan 2023 ~~ By Peggy Ryan


The big political news right now is the coming election for Speaker of the House. Current House minority leader, Kevin McCarthy, is fighting for his political life. But why isn’t Kevin a lock for Speaker if
That’s McCarthy all right. But hold on. Some of our conservative heroes/heroines support Kevin. Shouldn't we trust their judgement?
Well, there’s his record, his past actions and positions that aren’t exactly in-line with conservatives.

This fake conservatism is something the Founders warned against​

1. McCarthy’s shown that he’s amenable to deep state projects or at least won’t block them.​
2. He threw President Trump under the bus for the January 6th hoax. Told colleagues that he’d “recommend Trump’s resignation”, publicly said on the House floor that Trump “bears responsibility” for the mayhem.​
3. He’s pledged he won’t impeach Biden.​
4. He raised money for establishment candidates over MAGA and fumbled the 2022 elections at the goal line.​
And the list goes on.

Not this time. Steve Cortes, is acting like an abused wife or in this case husband. Yeah, Steve’s been hard on Kevin in the past, screamed to the rooftops that Kevin’s not fit to be Speaker. Yet he now says we’re better off with the devil we know. Kevin has changed, aligning with the people, shifting to the right. This is the bully telling his battered spouse the abuse will never happen again, they’ve changed.
he’s already in the position of minority leader?
~Snip~
For those who argue it’s OK under Kevin, could be worse, I say it could also be better. Maybe we will get another Nancy Pelosi but at least we will have fought for what we believe instead of hoping McCarthy will come around, will make things right this time.
~Snip~
If We the People want to take back our country, we must have the courage to disrupt the current power structure, to fight for our Republic. If our Congress is to truly represent us then they must listen to us, respect our wishes.
For those who support Kevin McCarthy for Speaker, know that you’re advocating for what’s always been done, telling the people to suck it up one more time because this time Kevin McCarthy will work for the people; this time will be different.

If Republicans want different results they need to stop doing the same thing over and over. They need to take different paths, make different decisions, stop all the political calculations and just do what’s right for the people. It’s not too much to ask, it’s why they got elected.



Commentary:
Does America really want another like Boehner or Ryan as Speaker?
Is there an elected Congress person who can herd the cats of a Republican Congress in the right direction?
It's well past the time to read the 'handwriting on the wall'. American voters cannot continue to allow politicians (democrat or republican) to 'get away' with lying and misleading the public.
Stop and take a look at what's happening to our country.
McCarthy is nothing positive for the party.

The GOP has won the popular vote once since 1992.

The "hate offensive" has failed.

As a Maoist/DSA Democrat Leftist, why are you so enthusiastic to have Kevin McCarty as Speaker of the house?
Why not Scalise, Jordan, Biggs, Greene, Granger, or McCaul. Tere are many that can fill the bill.

I'm not but it would be nice to have a civil Republican on the national stage once again. I don't know him very well.

As long as they take the job seriously and approach it with some civility...sure. Whomever is going to be the next speaker of the House is playing a losing hand. The GOP base is ready to burn down the nation for some perceived slight that never took place. Its hard to govern when your base has no interest in there being a government.
 
McCarthy sucks. But they're probably doing him a favor not making him preside over the clown show that is to come. Good luck trying to hold that coalition of vipers and loons together. I look forward to the Republican House reminding America why these people have no business running our federal government.

Does Trump back McCarthy for Speaker? Why not Benedict Arnold for head of Homeland Security

McCarthy is nothing but a weak knee coward, who would sell his soul, for power....

Bad news for you, and the country! imo

Democracy does not mean we have freedoms. And to many people do not realize it. Once it is gone, it gone until nation hits bottom and then has to fight to regain it. There are people who keep pointing this out to no avail. This is one reason we regulated the amount of people coming into our nation. Until the 1960's. Internally we have pushed propaganda into the general population with any wrongs of the past used as the weaponization of a good part of the citizens. With that and the out-of-control immigration all orchestrated y elites and politicians and not enough Americans paying attention, our future was sealed.

From your own link....Alas, Buzzkillers, quotes like this seem to attach themselves to Einstein at the speed of light, and there’s no evidence he ever said it. (By the way, two other brainiacs and quote attractors, Ben Franklin and Mark Twain, are also credited with coining this idea.)

We need people to immigrate here, but done LEGALLY. With all the BOOMERS hitting retirement soon, we are woefully short on workers to service them, and workers to fill all the jobs they retired from......

There is no way forward, without additional people. We have not produced and multiplied enough, to handle the boomer load.

We need a variety of people from different nations, with different skills and talent, with higher quotas.

And we do need to stop all illegal immigration and we need to cap how many asylum seekers we allow each year, legally to enter.

I would say that declaring you won't impeach Biden should disqualify McCarthy from being Speaker.

First of all, you are making this proclamation without any investigations into matters that appear needing investigating. Secondly, you are making this proclamation based upon what future events might trigger an impeachment. Either way, it is irresponsible.

But we all know McCarthy will win. The GOP is incapable of picking a Speaker that does not grovel at the feet of democrats, like Boehner crying his eyes out telling the world what a wonderful Speaker and human being Nancy Pelosi is wishing she could just remain in place till the end of time. Meanwhile, Nancy enriches herself with the best insider trading power can buy, and one of the most hateful and polarizing political figures in modern times.
 
Why do you think the hate offensive works for the DNC but not the GOP?
There was no hate offensive from the DNC.

You guys got Gingriched-up in 1996 and decided to start down this misogynistic, nationalistic path and the result was that you've won exactly one popular vote since 1992.

I mean really...can you tell us anything you guys have been "for" in the last 20 years?
