WASHINGTON — Representative Kevin McCarthy on Thursday abruptly took himself out of the race to succeed John A. Boehner as speaker, apparently undone by the same forces that drove Mr. Boehner to resign.

Looks like the hated Chuck C. Johnson was correct, yet again.

[dfwgator]

A bone must have fallen out from his closet.

Boener remains. And now we see the Trojan horse effort to maintain Boner as Speaker.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Things aren’t working out so well for Boner.

Our gun rights are under assault more than ever, from a President with a proven record of unconstitutional decrees.

I nominate Ted Nugent.

Looks like he had dirt, but then again, most of them do.

Isn’t the #1 job of the speaker to be able to articulate ideas, that is speak ?

A bone must have fallen out from his closet.

And into Renee Ellmers.

Good on McCarthy for taking himself out of the running once he realized he was NOT going to win.

I would third West but first you have to get him elected to Congress

[deoetdoctrinae]

I nominate Ted Nugent.

And the neat thing is, under the rules, if he could get the votes he could be House Speaker.

Kevin McCarthy is a snake. Just take a close look at this guys arrogance and demeanor. He’s just rotten to the bone.

McCarthy is the definition of “ Politics business as usual corruption.”

The Speaker doesn't have to be a member of Congress.
