Bachmann should be up there.. not Cantor
Folks, wake up. Notwithstanding the many qualities of Bachmann and other firebrands, we need an experienced legislative team to manage the House. We are now responsible for running a portion of the government.
A leadership slot is NOT the place for a bomb-thrower, unless you want us to be in the majority for 2 short years.
Boehner-Cantor-McCarthy-Sessions have proven capable of the promotions. They kept every GOP member voting NO against BOcare, and nearly all voted NO against the stimulus when BO was at the height of his popularity. This team also just engineered a 60 seat pickup in the House.
Freepers need to learn that American politics and public policy are played within the 30 yard lines. Learning at National Review is a good start.
Michelled Bachman wants to be CONFERENCE CHAIRMAN, to initiate (teach) orientate the newbies, which puts her in a leadership position and also shape conservatives coalitions in the Republican House. This gives Tea Party folks a consolidated group wth clout.
Boehner is exhausted.
Cantor is fresh, new, smart and can dispatch the press lions in a word.
Boehner inspires no one.
Cantor is working with Paul Ryan, and gets Paul Ryan.
Boehner stiff armed Ryan, and failed entirely to give Paul’s financial plan a hearing.
Boehner is steeped in establishment habits and is no leader for a movement.
Watch Cantor side with and lead with conservative strength with CLARITY.
We could use clarity and coherence. Boehner has neither.
