What is your impression of Kevin McCarthy??
Let's Hear It!
Mine is one of total distrust. A backstabbing RINO who wants badly to climb the ladder to Speaker today and what, President or VP tomorrow? He wants the Speakership too badly. I think he'd compromise anything to get it. That's precisely the person we don't want. Instead, we want somebody who is rooted in principle with a spine of steel. I've had enough of the Paul Ryan types. Also, there's something particularly distasteful that he would share an apartment with Frank Luntz. Both probably like playing the skin flute.
I have no doubt that McCarthy likes to ride the ol' baloney pony. Yeah, I find it distasteful too. I guess I don't see us having McCarthy as any real type of "win" for us. If he was a hard charger who had some balls and was willing to slam on the brakes to the left's agenda, then yeah I would love to have him as Speaker. But I don't see him as being that guy.
Our party desperately needs new leadership and new blood. We need to stop being okay with losing elections. Ditto with being the "loyal opposition" party. Or with being the "genteel" republican party. We need killers. We need madmen. We need bold, new leadership. We abso-flipping-lutely do not need a return to the status quo and "reaching across the aisle". We need knockdown dragout pipe hitting hard M-fer's. McCarthy ain't it at all.
