QuoProQuid posted:

The Washington Post did a short bio on Webster in January, when Jim Jordan and Gowdy tried to use him in their coup against Boehner. Webster has some conservative credentials, including close involvement with the Terri Schiavo case, but he is very much not not a Tea Party candidate. Webster is known for hosting bipartisan dinners and lamenting the polarization in Congress. Heritage gives him just a 77 on its conservative scorecard. His pitch for the position is to get Congress working together by reorganizing it on district lines rather than party lines. His pitch also involves decentralization, but he very much wants to resolve the ongoing deadlock.

The Freedom Caucus's endorsement is very much a parliamentary move aimed at humiliating the establishment as opposed to an ideological pick. Webster's run was almost certainly motivated by a desire to give McCarthy some token opposition and to avoid allegations that Boehner was strong-arming the House into an establishment pick. Until today, Webster had no support whatsoever and was expected to get single-digit support on the House floor. He's a rank-and-file Congressman with no real leadership aspirations.

It's telling that the Freedom Caucus didn't endorse Chaffetz, who is considerably more conservative and is running an actual campaign. While Chaffetz has a long-shot at the Speaker's podium, it's still a shot and the Freedom Caucus's endorsement could have theoretically snowballed into a full coup. By endorsing Webster, the Freedom Caucus ensures that no one will have enough votes in the Republican Party's secret ballot.

I should also mention that all three candidates for Speaker met with the Freedom Caucus privately yesterday to give their pitch. I would suspect that McCarthy failed to offer enough concessions and the Caucus are using Webster to force McCarthy back to the negotiation table. McCarthy can concede to Freedom Caucus commands or watch his career explode brilliantly in front of the entire country.

so basically it will now probably drag out for a stupid amount of time.

It's definitely all over the news. But the last time I was sitting in a pharmacy and a woman told me how Dr. Carson saved her toddler, and what a nice man he is, I sure didn't feel like bringing up his batshit politics. And, yes, this has happened more than once.

I just think locally, there are enough personally grateful people to give him a significant advantage.

Basically he is a black huckabee who has a genuine Nonpolitical skill and is a better at hiding his religious bullshit. he also kinda comes off as someone who might be somewhere on the autism spectrum.

If Centrist Republicans join with Democrats to elect a coalition speaker, many of those Centrist Republicans, god bless them, would likely be voted out of office in the primary, which would greatly increase the chance for a Democrat to win that office.

in other words the chance that Democrats could win more seats would actually go up.

Still highly unlikely, but here's hoping.

it would be interesting to see. maybe the centrist republicans would start leaving the party if poo poo got bad enough.

Guys, Netanyahu told the World Zionist Congress that Haj Amin al-Husseini convinced Hitler to kill jews. He partially absolved Hitler who apparently really just wanted to expel them from Germany, you know, he just didn't want them around.

Netanyahu stood up for Hitler to make palestinians look bad. That's where we are right now.

so Bibi the rear end in a top hat is trying to horrificaly twist Functionalism holocaust theory so he can go ethic cleanse people. what an rear end in a top hat. su amin was a rear end in a top hat who kissed nazi rear end and hated the jews and tried to keep them from emigrating to palistine and probaly knew the holocaust was going on. But its bullshit that he in any way gave hitler or the nazis the idea.

heres what functionalism is. personally, i am in between. its basically an argument between holocaust historians on how much the holocaust was planned out and how it was originally started an when.

Thats my guess. Trump is an extremely petty self-centered guy and he probably takes any slight(real or imagined) from anyone personally. while I think carson/cruz/hukabee would be certainly worse policy wise. I think trump would be much worse because his personality. He has all of nixions faults magnified times a hundred plus he is rich as poo poo. I could see him loving over entire states/countries/deals because of slights and he would probaly be corrupt as gently caress. not to mention he would fill his cabinet with tea baggers and stooges.

BLM is less organized and way less useful than OWS ever was. This is the worst idea ever and the only result that would come out of it is an endless loop of ads that would be run against Hillary in the general election.

If BLM wants to make a difference, then let them get involved in City, State and local elections and force these kind of debates at the local and state level where they could actually influence legislation that matters. They need to stay the gently caress out of Presidential politics. Forcing Bernie and Hillary to kowtow to an unorganized, rudderless group is bad optics.

the sad thing is, you are right.
