Needle exchange????? Eeewwwww
You said -- "The dems ran a lot of conservatives this time around in order to take the House and Senate. Could be some of them do not want this nutjob for speaker, only one heartbeat and a pacemaker away from the presidency."
This is the same kind of stuff (and "thinking") that was going on *before* the election, which said that we were not going to lose the House and Senate and how the Democrats were "running scared" and that Rove had his "surprise" ready and waiting. This is *all more of the same*.
It's more *denial* and it's going to work just as well as the election worked (for the Republicans).
I posted the warnings from many sources where they were saying that it looked like big-time losses (just like what did happen) -- about a month prior to the election. All I got back were denials and denials and "gobbly-gook" type of details, designed to re-inforce those denials. Those who didn't want to engage in political "gobbly-gook-speak" -- simply referred to Rove and his "surprise" (some rabbit he was going to pull out of his hat).
We can see what all that did -- absolutely nothing.
And likewise, I can see more and more -- this board is simply going the way of denial, gobbly-gook-speak, more denial and some sort of "twilight-zone-politics" designed to make the losers feel good (or "whatever").
It's going to be the same way with the Speaker of the House. I'll simply keep this thread for *reference* -- and be back again to comment on it *when* they get their Speaker of the House. THEN, we'll see what was more *reality* and what was *figment of the imagination*.
