I really have a strong feeling about Gowdy. He is smart, clever, and tough as nails. He would be a dynamic Speaker. Any ideas?
I have an idea almost anything would be better than what we have.
Lots and lots of rope.
Ok, then if we can’t have him as speaker, how about POTUS?
When he was in the House. He had already served previously in the Senate (and before that served as Speaker of the KY House, so he wasn’t a “n00b”).
A grassroots petition movement....that is where we start. Get Freedom Works involved......Tea Party Groups....etc.
Well, the Speaker is elected by House members, and unless an overwhelming number of House Repubs went along with it, I doubt it would happen. Also I am convinced the Boner & some of the other RINO's would flip over to the DemoRATs rather then be ousted by a staunch, Tea Party conservative.
I was just about to ping you to this thread, but you beat me here. I guess the conversation continues :-)
forget it, I want him to Attorney General!
Any relationship to Curt? /RedSoxNation
Nah—he cant cry like Boner..
They were all good...
I liked the questions from Jim Jordan of Ohio, he was on the ball.
And it seems like all the Carolinians, North and South were all over this.
Imagine this: Sarah Palin and Ted Cruz in the White House, Trey as speaker and Rand Paul as majority leader.
The only Constitutional requirement for Speaker of the House is that he or she be voted in by the majority party. If enough Republicans voted for it, any one of us could be Speaker. That stated, this guy seems like a true conservative so the GOPe will never go for it.
I don’t know how Boner could flip any further left.
I agree! he was a federal prosecutor prior to Congress..
Love this guy, he has my vote!
Too bad he’s already married. I’d like to recruit him to be my husband!
Seriously though, I’d prefer him as Attorney General rather than Speaker but I’d be happy with him in either position. Time to weed out the limp-wristed, do-nothing RINOs.
You got that right!
Ted Cruz gets my vote!
