McCarthy caves, concedes to all demand of dissenters...

Salon is reporting the same...but so far, if this quote is accurate...it doesn't get McCarthy the votes yet...

"Still, the proposal would not placate all of the holdouts. Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, one of the Republicans leading the charge against McCarthy, told Republican leaders he could get 10 holdouts to flip if the negotiations pan out while others may be willing to vote "present" instead of against McCarthy, according to the report.

"We've had more discussions in the last two days as a body sitting there, than we've done in frickin' four years," Roy told reporters on Wednesday."

"Negotiating" douchebags like McCarthy got us into this mess.

The answer is still NO.
 
This is what you get when you show some backbone and stand firm.

Now watch the Uniparty and Lamestream Media attempt to downplay and/or ignore a Conservative victory...


Does this include the demands for plumb committee positions that the dissenters were demanding?

Remember, the last speaker who was any good was Newt Gingrich - a LONG time ago. McCarthy won't be any good - but better than Pelosi or Hakeem Jefferies.

This is exactly the reason that McCarthy is the wrong man for the job.

If he's willing to give everyone everything they want just to climb the next rung of the ladder, what kind of "negotiating" are we going to get when a real tough fight with democrats and/or the CCP comes up?

That douchebag would sell his mother into a whore house to be Speaker.

Gingrich sucked....He's one of the primary reasons I vowed to never support republicans ever again.

I'm more pragmatic.

I don't believe there's anyone that the 200 McCarthy supporters would accept that would be anything but nominally better than McCarthy.

And McCarthy looks exceptionally weak right now.

Better to take the W, the concessions, and the weak leader rather than risk snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

It's not 20 vs 200... It's 20 vs all of Washington and all of the Legacy Media.

I don't disagree one bit.
 
Please explain, Take America back too where????
To a time where the people in Congress actually put the interest of the American people first instead of special interest and the welfare queens. If that was ever the case.

Passing massive wasteful spending bills that are funded by debt ain't cool.

Putting out a 1500 page almost $2 T spending bill with more pork in it than an Oscar Mayer packing plant and then requiring that it has to be voted on in a few hours when we are $31 T in debt ain't cool .

Not having stand alone bills is a recipe for more pork and and more corruption and more welfare.

Allowing millions of goddamn Illegals to flood across the border is not cool.

Raising taxes ain't cool.

Adding more debt to an already massive debt is not cool.

Growing the size of an already massive bloated Federal bureaucracy ain't cool.

Having a welfare state ain't cool.

Artificially running up the cost of energy to appease the Environmental Wackos ain't cool.

Destroying the military with woke polices ain't cool.

Stealing elections and punishing those that protested against it ain't cool.

Don't know how many of those things the 20 American Patriots can fix but at least they can make a start.

"The concessions McCarthy made are significant. Axios and Politico Playbook reported:

  1. One member motion threshold needed to force a vote ousting a speaker, instead of five.
  2. More House Freedom Caucus members on the House Rules Committee (two seats).
  3. Pledges to hold votes on lawmaker term limit and border security bills.
  4. Major changes to the appropriations process to prevent another omnibus bill by allowing floor amendments to be offered by any lawmaker.
In addition, the McCarthy-aligned super PAC, Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF), pledged it would not spend money in Republican primary races against GOP candidates in open races, as its affiliates had done in several races in the 2022 midterm elections.

The concessions are in addition to ten more concessions previously negotiated between the GOP factions.

It is unknown if the concessions will be enough to move 16 members to support McCarthy. The seventh round of voting is set to resume Thursday at noon."

 
ignore a Conservative victory...
Conservative victory? More like a win for the Crazy. Does anyone find it ironic that Kev is fighting to obtain a position he has given the MAGAnuts the power to take away from him if he doesn't let them run the shitshow?
