“As I remember he and boner didn’t get along at all.”

I view that as a definite plus!

‘pubs who vote for McCarthy are going to have to answer to the voters. There’s still time to embarrass and maybe defeat them with a primary battle.

I thought I remembered reading recently that Chaffetz was Boehner’s hatchet-man on tea party Congress critter...

He was Boehner’s hatchet man! He’s the one that sabotaged Meadows. Chaffetz is truly awful.

Chaffetz started the Meadows thing when Boehner directed him to strip him of his chairmanship. Chaffetz is an establishment lackey.

Chaffetz is a chronic whiner who talks like an everyday citizen who can’t do ANYTHING about ANYTHING. He’s ALL TALK, no ACTION!

People don’t seem to understand that the vote will take place next week and only McCarthy and Chafetz are legitimate candidates.

I’m encouraging my congressman to vote for Chafetz because at least he isn’t trying to help the democrats and calling for the Benghazi investigation to end like McCarthy is.

What if we played this the way the establishment played this, and wait unti he’s speaker to start hitting him on his sexcapades? He’d be rather helpless to deliver to his Chamberpot overlords

I wanted Jordan but I guess this would be an improvement over McCarthy.

I wonder if Chevez is Mormon? I immediately wonder that whenever someone is from Utah

You know something that many of us don’t?

Could you kindly cite for us a reliable source for this info?

Thanks.
