Wouldn’t surprise me. MTG has been reliably for McCarthy though.

Yes, she seems almost as frustrated as McCarthy. She made a play mid-year 2022 and started changing the approach a little ( crazy from 10 to 7ish) and was getting invited into high levels with meetings with Mccarthy. I am sure it was for a chair on a nice committee in exchange for her crazies, and fealty, now her buddy Gaetz and LB are screwing her, couldn't happen to a nicer gal
 
Yes. People keep saying that "Reagan wasn't conservative enough to be elected Republican today." That is true to a point, but misses the fact that Reagan's catchphrase philosophy - "government doesn't solve problems, government is IS the problem" - has been the core element and key to just about every republican campaign of the last 40 years and is exactly why we see current MAGA republicans' working to destroy our entire system of governance.
^^^ THIS ^^^

These lemmings blindly take the Americans For Tax Reform’s pledge to oppose any and all tax increases. That group’s leader, Grover Norquist, famously said, “I don’t want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub.”

What we’re currently witnessing is exactly the kind of bullshit you get when electing representatives who see the federal government as unnecessary or evil.
 
There's no way any Republican can paint this process other than a colossal failure.

They has almost 2 months to get this shit lined up...and here we are.

Bumbling idiots.
The fact their talking point is “this is how democracy is supposed to work” is so precious 😂.

Uh, no. Democracy does not have to be chaotic and dysfunctional.
 
Thats a fair counter point. I think McCarthy and crew felt they had it all under control even after that. Now, they are seeing maybe not so much....

I do agree, if a person shrugs off Jan 6, they are NOT in the middle.

edit - maybe I need to reevaluate MY definition of "moderate" "and middle".......
I think it’s possible that in this period following 1/6/21, many traditional conservatives that are willing to take part in these polls are not willing to identify as republicans. As a result, the crazies end up making a greater percentage of the voters identifying themselves as republicans in these polls.

Yea, that's it
 
Perhaps the backdrop of the GOP's new holiday, January 6th, will motivate them to elect a speaker?
 
She's a freak dude

And she is letting her freak flag fly.....

Maybe yeah, I hadn't seen that number, it feels high....May have been the way they asked the question. Who knows. Guess we need Biden to win again in 2024 and see if the crowd is larger or smaller. :) I kid. Im ready for a 50-60something President who understands the modern world.

Is there anything else McCarthy can give the radicals that he already hasn't promised?

Serious question.

That phrase is the bane of our politics. It's like children's love of sugar or red neck's infatuation with guns.
