lilORANG 10/03/23 6:36:23 PM #143:	McCarthy is absolutely unworthy of leadership. And there are too many "Moderate Republicans" who will not vote for Gaetz or anyone in his camp. It will be the same circus as when McCarthy originally won his term. We'll eventually end up with some "moderate Republican" that Democrats can stomach but at least that person won't have made ridiculous concessions to the far right wing like McCarthy did. --- Let's all please just get along. <cite>lilORANG posted [p:976458495] in McCarthy i...

Anteaterking 10/03/23 6:38:34 PM #145:	COVxy posted... Just seems like incredibly risky political calculus to help the extreme sect of their party oust the speaker for the smallest form of bipartisan cooperation, when the same important issue looms in like 40 days. I mean, if you have no issues with an extended goverment shutdown that will be devastating for millions of people, then I suppose I understand being flippant about it. McCarthy made it clear that he wasn't willing to make concessions to the Democrats in order to preserve his speakership and then went on the morning shows to blame them for the near shutdown. The end result of this isn't "Gaetz becomes speaker" and it's unlikely that anyone his group puts forth will have enough the support of the rest of the GOP. So they have to pick someone who can pick up a few Dem votes, which may or may not stave off shutdown. I think you've baked in that McCarthy being speaker wouldn't have shut down the government in November and I don't think that's guaranteed. --- http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg <cite>Anteaterking posted [p:976458530] in McCarthy i...
