McCarthy: 'I earned this job', Boebert when he finished: "that's Bullsh*t": GOP explodes in meeting before speaker vote, which you can watch live here

[Seymour Flops]

Loyal to Republican values and agenda

The extremists are just arsonists trying to destroy the party and the government

The extremists come from heavily Republican voter districts. Their voters want them to actual do what Republicans keep saying they will do but don't.

They owe loyalty to voters not party aparatchiks.

Very true

But they went to Congress to do a job
Stopping Congress from functioning is not part of that

If they are only there to gunk up the works, they should not accept the job

 

[basquebromance]

they've had since November to figure this out

 

[Mac-7]

McCarthy sucks up to everyone

Sucks up to Trump
Sucks up to moderates
Sucks up to the far right
Sucks up to Dems

All with his eyes on being named Speaker
He has no values and his only agenda is whatever it takes to win the post

I agree

Rolling over for the democrats only helps bring the downfall of America even closer

Who is rolling over to the Democrats ?
They cannot even get along with their own party

You insist that republicans must “do something”

If the dems hold fast to their political agenda the only way to get things done is their way

Then you will sneer at repubs for “caving in”

 

[scruffy]

I think McCarthy and Scalise are both whining sissy boys. We need a real leader from the freedom caucus to take control.

Trump for Speaker.

Bingo

If the primary reason a Representative is dissatisfied with the current widely supported candidate ... Is because they fold to the Establishment in the face of conflict ...
Then telling them they need to fold to Establishment in the face of conflict ... Is just damn stupid and expressing to them that you have missed their point entirely.

It's not just about process ... It's about whether or not they believe and are forthright with what they are expressing,
and what they promised the people who voted for them.
If it is sincere in the least little bit ... It comes with the understanding that they may lose ... It may actually cost them something.

If they are trying to decide who assumes the position of leadership ... Then a leader that can lead them is going to have to step up.
If the only option anyone is willing to offer is "do or die" ... Then be prepared to die when giving it.

If opening the House for day to day operations is ”doing something” then yes

Republicans were elected on “doing something” about inflation, gas prices, the border

Nobody ran on gridlocking Congress

You answered the question without saying the words

Your idea of doing something is that democrats get everything and republicans get nothing

A lot less garbage comes out of Congress when it is gridlocked.

If the object of a Representative Republic is for its Representatives to actually represent the Voters ...
And not to simply Empower the Government to do whatever it can ... Then you might actually start to understand the Principles this Nation was founded on.

A Conservative lie

Congress has specific functions critical to running the country.
Tax structure, funding of the government, approving court and government officials, addressing critical issues for the country

Anarchy is no solution

More whining by Conservatives

The reason “Democrats get everything” is because Republicans refuse to participate in the legislative process.
Republican “My way or the Highway” philosophy leaves them with nothing

Now you are talking in circles

What we are discussing is an end to gridlock where the minority democrats stand fast and republicans panic and give in on every issue

And thats not good or acceptable

Bipartisan cooperation is a death sentence for Republicans

Rather than cooperating with Democrats in crafting bills on Healthcare, Infrastructure, Immigration policy, the budget……Republicans insist on their way or NOTHING

As a result, when the bill passes, Republicans end up with nothing

Since democrats are the minority they should agree to what the repubs want
