Every candidate mentioned in the media has establishment credentials. McCarthy was an establishment stooge who got out when his bimbo problems seemed likely to come to the surface.

So who are the true conservatives who might consider being nominated for the Speaker position?

[jjotto]

Compromise for democrats is like the camels nose for muslims.

A little compromise with democrats today, a little bit more tomorrow and the next day and soon you have given up everything.

Every time a republican compromises with democrats the democrats gain a little toward their goal and the republicans give up a little more of their principles.

“In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit.”

— Ayn Rand

[Logical me]

I doubt we will have a speaker that will in complete agreement to conservatives policies.

ICIRR = Illinois Coalition for Immigration and Refugee Rights

In posting the announcement on his Twitter and Facebook pages, Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) said, “This is not Rep. Ryan’s first time in Chicago but it is his first time at a pro-immigrant event in our pro-immigrant city. Let’s show Rep. Ryan – an influential voice among House Republicans – the enthusiasm and strength of Chicago’s pro-immigrant community, and in so doing impress upon him that by standing with immigrants he’s standing on the right side of history.”

There will be no Republican Speaker that’s not bought and paid for by Wall Street and the Chamber of Commerce.

There’s simply too much money at stake.

Conservatives: Don’t Get Suckered Into Backing A “Compromise” Speaker Who Is Boehner-Lite

Exactly!

Yesterday, the buzzword in the media was for a 'bipartisan' candidate.

Translation: Another speaker who will fold and bend to further the Obama agenda under the guise of 'bipartisanship'.
