That's the conclusion I've come to as well. My only hope is to keep some states conservative. After that it will be counties and towns.

Chip Roy should be our house speaker.
It looks darker and darker every year Sarge. You're correct, the left's infiltration of most influential organizations is appalling and there is evidence that Conservatives have no effective response. One group is still in the fight though, God give them strength.
House Freedom Caucus chair says McCarthy declined his members' demands ahead of speaker vote
House Freedom Caucus Chairman Rep. Scott Perry said Tuesday that GOP Rep. Kevin McCarthy has declined his members' requests ahead of vote this afternoon to elect him as chamber speaker.
In exchange for their support, the House Freedom Caucus members asked McCarthy to hold votes on a balanced budget, the Fair Tax Act, the Texas Border Plan and term limits for members of Congress but "he refused," Perry said in a statement.
Perry also said: "We requested transparent, accountable votes on individual earmarks that would require two-thirds support to pass, and to ensure that all amendments to cut spending would be allowed floor consideration. He dismissed it."
The Pennsylvania congressman also said the caucus "demanded that he cease his efforts to defeat competitive conservative candidates in open Republican primaries" and he denied it.
"Kevin McCarthy had an opportunity to be speaker of the House. He rejected it," Perry's statement concluded.

Seems to me the Rs in the House who are crying foul over the House Freedom Caucus' no-votes for McCarthy are the same ones who play along with the Ds at every turn... Voting yes for every spending bill, etc. They ARE the establishment... the swamp... the RINOs...
The HFC is seeking to increase transparency in future earmarks, balance the budget, impose term limits, get the Fair Tax Act going, etc. Ain't nothing wrong with that. In fact, that's responsible governing.
But listening to the establishment Rs, they sound just like the MSM: "Chaos." "Division." "Dysfunction." The MSM loves to use these "catastrophic" terms to oversell their agenda.
But, according to Reason magazine:
Fewer rubber stampers in Congress, replaced by legislators who actually put people's interests ahead of their own, is a darn good thing.

Just wait. If the Rs have more support for McCarthy slip away, then some Rs will side with Dims, or the Dims will support McCarthy ---- with side deals attached. The nation finally gets a window on how things really work, and the media will not mention or will diminish the "deals" that resolve this. Kinda sad.
That would be such an obvious move of extreme desperation to retain the controls of power. They'd do ANYTHING - including what you proposed - to keep the status quo in place.

He would be excellent. We keep getting bullshit swamp creatures who say one thing and do another.
Way too many still concerned with self preservation and what they can take from their position. I get my hopes up every time we get fresh blood into office. It normally doesn't last long.
Is it possible the speaker can be nominated from the minority party, in this case Jeffries? I have little confidence that this couldn't happen.Maybe he is changing but he received a bi partisan standing ovation this time.

Matt Gaetz looks like he'd be Mason Rudolph's long-lost brother.... who many here declare to have a very punchable face.

Matt Gaetz aways reminded me of this old picture of a meth head that's been making the rounds on the internet for years.
Meanwhile, the vote for House speaker is like voting for the third officer on the Titanic.

You would think they would have ironed this out before hand.
Welp, the Freedom Caucus and the rest that made up the 20 that consistently voted against McCarthy are flipping their votes, here in what I think is the 12th round. I've counted 9 switch overs so far, including Reps Roy (what????) and this lovely Rep from FL:
Luna -
It may end up less than 10 "No-McCarthy votes this round, still not enough for the majority. But the writing's on the wall... Only a matter of time.
