Default Congressional Drama Llamas: America First Contingent Says No to McCarthy!






Here's my e-mail today to my House rep.:

Quote:
I am writing to implore you to stop voting for Kevin McCarthy as House speaker. You were elected, in large part, by America First MAGA supporters. Kevin McCarthy has demonstrated that he does not represent our interests, does not represent the interests of YOUR voters, people like me who voted for you.

I encourage you to vote for Jim Jordan, or, if it keeps on going, vote for someone like Matt Gaetz, who isn't afraid to be outspoken about supporting pro-America policies and to call out obvious corruption. Either way, please vote no on McCarthy. Frankly, if it comes down to it, it would be better for you to just vote for the far left Jeffries and let's accelerate the destruction of our once great country. Obviously things are going to have to get much, much worse in terms of the economy, and people being able to afford to live, before America gets serious about supporting the America First agenda of Trump.

And finally, please stop voting to send our treasure to the Ukraine. That's none of our business. Had you not financed that war, it would already be over, Russia would have simply annexed actual ethnic Russian areas, and millions of Ukrainians wouldn't be suffering today. Zelensky is just a cash machine so that the Big Guy and others can get their kickbacks. I was embarrassed for all of you, standing, applauding that guy.
Alternative thread title: Mr. Gaetz Goes to Washington

They are going to keep screwing around and end up with another Dem leading the House that WE have majority of. Sometimes I'm embarrassed to be a Republican.

They should have gotten together long ago and figured this out. Presented a unanimous vote, and sent a message that we are serious. Now it has become a clown show. Dems are getting a good chuckle.

Pubs look like assclowns, this shitshow should have been settled on Monday evening, behind closed doors.

Trump endorses mccarthy, jordan does not want the job AND endorses mccarthy.

Obviously this small minority is placing their personal agenda infront of the party, and this is why pubs never get anything done.

They all get booted if they allow the socialists to steal this!!

Here's the deal....I don't want McCarthy. I don't think I know any Trump supporter today who wants McCarthy (if there are any here, speak up). This is why I sent my House rep that e-mail. I'd rather accelerate the destruction by ceding control to the Marxists than get backstabbed by McCarthy. At least you can see when you're being front-stabbed. When it gets bad enough, maybe those middle of the road folks who were propagandized to unnaturally hate Trump and America First will wake up and discover they ****ed up, when they can't afford food, shelter, and heat anymore. And we're not there just yet.

So you are good if the statemate voting continues, and some pubs broker a deal with the socialists to give them control of The House??

I supported Trump, twice, I am okay with McCarthy, not my first choice, but obviously the choice of the MAJORITY of our party, so I can vote for it.

The differences among pubs can hopefully be sorted out for each issues during the next two years, if they cannot get together now as the ruling party, THEY WILL NOT BE THE PARTY RULER!!

Instead of trying to get Republicans to vote unanimously, I fear backdoor deals to swing Dems to McCarthy. It's insanity.

Yes, that's exactly what I am saying. Let's just go ahead and **** up this country so far that even with massive cheating, people will grow weary of living in a socialist Hell hole and eventually throw off that yoke of oppression.

So we can either do that, or R's can coalesce around someone who isn't a sellout. And yes, I understand Trump has endorsed McCarthy for speaker. Trump seems to be growing increasingly out of touch with his base.

**** your 'vaccine,' and **** McCarthy, President Trump. I'd rather be ****ed over by a racist Marxist front stabber like Jeffries. At least he's honest about his hatred for people like me. And really, what difference would it make? None, really. Even if McCarthy is selected and allows R's to investigate Biden's corruption, the illegal shit the DoJ and FBI etc., did against Trump's people, against Trump supporters, etc., all that will just be buried by the MSM and no one will hear about it, anyway, and certainly, the government isn't going to indict itself. So really, what does it matter?

When it comes to the uniparty GOP......from Hell's heart, I stab at thee. They don't get rewarded for ****ing me over. I accept losing, but at least it will be satisfying to see the uniparty GOP lose, too. Let them suffer as much as we suffer.

I suspect if the American people know even a small percent of the secret, backdoor deals, we'd all be sickened and vote every incumbent out of office. But no, we all just go along, vote straight party line and continue to argue with each other while the rich ruling class laughs all the way to the bank. We're the sheep and they're herding us along with very little resistance.

Akin to pub voters not voting for Trump for personal reasons, not because he did all he could for our country.

This stinks worse than the amazon van's toilet,,,

And those folks are now getting what they richly deserve......they're suffering from hyperinflation, too. We can all wallow in that decision together, my only satisfaction is that they are suffering, too.

Fast forward to the Speaker election. if R's won't NOT elect a swamp member, then **** it. We can all just suffer together. And really, this is one fight where it won't make that much difference, anyway, for stated reasons. Whoever they pick the R's can't do shit to stop the Brandon agenda. They can't even defund the incarceration and torture of the J6 political prisoners. They can't do that, because they just passed the omnibus....and McCarthy was the head cheerleader to shepherd that through on the R side. Really?

I just want McCarthy to be humiliated and fail.

After 5 failed votes, you're likely to get your wish.

And if the GOP doesn't learn a lesson from both this exercise and the lackluster midterm results, a lot of other establishment pols will be right there with him.

I am quite happy for them to have their noses rubbed in it, to be humiliated. This is THEIR struggle session. **** them. For what supposed conservatives have done to this country, they deserve all of this. Let's not forget what happened when Trump had the House AND Senate. He had to fight his own party to get America First things done. That's wrong, and if this is the only kind of punishment they can suffer, then make this particular suffering last as long as possible. Or, they could see this as a come-to-Jesus moment and vote in someone who actually IS America First/MAGA.
