Speaker of the House - Vote Today

[Reagan]

Congressman Chip Roy said what's going in the House is what a debate looks like.  Something that the Dems don't like.  

Also, a little history:  There's been 14 multi ballot Speakerships in the past.  The longest one was in 1855 which was 2 months and 133 ballots.  Why hurry when you are trying to get it right.  I guess our side could be like the Dems and fall lock-step in line with pelosi.  And you see how that's worked out for us!

MAGAtards vs. normal, respectable conservatives. round #9000 fight

I think here we have an admission that at least 200 House Republicans are “respectable conservatives”.

All the other times the Republicans did the same thing, that was ok? 

Last time was 1923.

Good start R's....

Had months to figure this out, red wave  predicted long ago and day 1 fail!

I think they’re trying to play it carefully so that we don’t get a speaker who is a stuttering sot and do embarrassing stuff like tearing up a SOTU Address.

If by having setbacks keeps us from having another total embarrassment like Pelosi, I can be patient. Of course those wishing and predicting failure are almost always wrong, but when a failure occurs, they are very quick to say “see, what did I tell you”?

Jim Jordan is no failure. Tell me though, just how is Pelosi considered a success?

Basically you have 200 representatives that are at least pretending that they want to get started handling the business of running the Country... the other 20 or so are holding the process hostage unless they all  agree to focus 100% of the body's time and effort on partisan investigations into garbage like "Hunter Biden's Laptop." 

The fact is this... if the Republicans can't get 218 votes on this, they won't be able to get 218 votes for anything else over the next two years, either.  So much for getting anything done.

Leftys worried about getting things done, lol.

Don't worry, your checks will continue to come, they just might have to shut down a few national parks.

The liberal mindset wants everyone to think the same way, if not, it's chaos.

I still find it hilarious how now even cardinal backer is considered a “lefty” on this website. He seems to be a textbook conservative. I recall he’s even voted for trump before. Shows you how off the rails the GOP and supporters have become, and how quick they are to turn on you if you don’t continue to bend the knee to their lord and savior DJT

You're just too easy, it's like you have an easy button on your forehead.

And you just can't help but bring up Trump in any conversation.  🤣🤣

So entertaining!

At least you can admit your party has us in this mess, very good.

As TVC said, it's debate, not everyone falls in line like slobbering idiots behind a dictator like your democrats.

Just watch, you may learn something.

That's not true....This is the frist time in 100 years it's had to go to more than one ballot.  Every other time Republicans and Democrats have only gone one round.   

Republican's have always been rank and file until this year.

So why complain if folks want change?

All I hear is that Republicans and Democrats both spend too much, now when there are a few that push back on electing a speaker that will 100% ensure that the spending will continue under Republicans, they're called whackos for holding up "progress".

That the Republicans may be coming to a point where some are tired of the same old good old boy system and actually want change should be celebrated in my opinion, no matter what has happened in the past.

I'm not complaing, but I do think McCarthy needs to step down. He's too weak to be Speaker -At this point, he's sold his soul to anyone who would vote for him, he has nothing else to compromise.  

This stalls legislation, investigatsions, House rules, new members being sworn in, and commitee seats.
