Conservatives organize to 'Fire McCarthy'
Washington Examiner ^ | September 30, 2015 | KELLY COHEN

Posted on 09/30/2015 1:59:24 PM PDT by lward99

Rep. Kevin McCarthy is not even Speaker of the House yet, but there is already a group ready to fire him.

A group of prominent right-leaning organizations formed a coalition Wednesday dubbed "Fire Kevin McCarthy," pledging to remove the California Republican should he be chosen to replace John Boehner when he retires at the end of next month.

"Having worked with Kevin McCarthy in the House, I'll admit he's a friendly guy," former Georgia Rep. Paul Broun said in a statement announcing the formation of the coalition. "But we need a dramatic change in House leadership — we can't afford to replace Speaker Boehner with someone who will continue to carry out his failed legacy, one that has been stifling conservative progress for six years."

Elections for the next House Speaker are slated for Oct. 8.

I watched Kevin McCranky on Hannity last night. What a turd in the punchbowl. Nothing but DC Consultant talking points...all defeatist and whining.

McCarthy has accomplished nothing while there, so why elect him?

Paul Bourn is a good guy. He stepped down from a House seat to run for Senate here in GA.

I would take very seriously what he is saying. He knows these guys.

What’s wrong with Mark Meadows? He was instrumental in getting Boehner out.

“Gowdy already said no.”

What were his reasons, if he stated them?

I just hope it will be somebody who opposes amnesty and is against admitting fake Syrian refugees and others from enemy countries.

He wants to stay as chairman of the Benghazi investigation committee and keep on sticking it to Hillary. Really can’t blame him for that.

I’ve indicated to my Rep that I do not want McCarthy or any other member of present leadership retained. They are all failures and need to be replaced.

The entire house will vote for speaker. Democrats, along with the rinos, will give McCarthy a huge majority. The only thing that could be done to stop McCarthy from becoming speaker would be for the conservatives to announce they’re going to vote for Pelosi. Then all the democrats will vote with them and Pelosi will be speaker. She could be taken out the next day if the rinos get the message. If not, then everyone will certainly know who are conservative and who aren’t during the next election.

After his Hannity show performance last night, he is clearly too stupid to be speaker.
