Andy1 Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 McCarthy loses again on 6th vote. Looks like we have a long way to go to get high on this list.

Or else, have had a plan to actually gain votes during the balloting. McCarthy is weak and is publicly demonstrating that weakness to everyone. This is the first time in 100 years that we've needed multiple ballots because most Speakers tend to be able to lead. McCarthy is a follower. It's not utter chaos yet, but it's certainly not some testament to anything other than McCarthy's weakness. Don't mistake my opinion of not being anywhere near utter chaos to mean I'm offering any sort of testament to McCarthy's leadership skill. So very much is happening these past few, and perhaps these next few, days. I like
dpberr Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 McCarthy is Mr. Uniparty. Just like McConnell. The uniparty won't take no for an answer. 6 tries or 60. McCarthy will be speaker. Just wait and see. Most people would get the hint after six tries, but McCarthy won't. Uniparty doesn't care one iota about Hunter Biden investigations, abortion or any of the "woke" noise. That's stuff for the consumption of the "average" American. Just don't touch the budget and don't ask about things the they are involved in like the border (great source of very cheap labor), GOF research (that the US government and wealthy universities continue to finance), feds spying on Americans. 1 1

I don't remember you all melting down over this. So spare me the two thieves BS. That’s a standard default argument—reigning in the budget, kicking the can down the road, it’s on our kids and grandkids. Truth is, not enough people care, and there are very, very few politicians in Washington who give it much thought. Rand Paul, maybe, and people were thrilled when his neighbor tried to take him out. That said, Trump was in office for 4 years, Biden has been in office 45+. There is no comparison between the two and their impact on the national economy. 1 1
SoCal Deek Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 The US budget is $28 Trillion? I don't think so.
Barnaby Wilde Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 I don't get Trump. First he takes a piss on Mich McConnel's leg, then he backs Kevin McCarthy who represents Washington more than he does the Republicans.

When have been in debt almost continuously since the founding of the republic. So what?
