Bet if Raul got the job his incompetent ass would immediately call for a vote to repeal Obamacare.

Labs: “A leadership team that can help unite and grow our party.”

Except that the rest of the “leadership team” doesn’t want you.

That’s not exactly the definition of “unity”, chief.

I am loving this pre-game show to all out GOP civil war! This was predicted by one President Obama during the '12 campaign.

Oh, that is just awesome. Teabillies rally 'round Labrador, to show “they are not racist, neither, nyah nyah nyah!” and corporate GOP candidate has to say “well I’m not racist neither!” but Koch Bros will never permit Teabilly whip which means they’ll throw money and mud at defeating Labrador and Teabillies will declare tea-had against McCarthy.

This calls for popcorn and a fresh bottle of Laphroaig.

Will various conservative finger-pointing groups be scoring this vote? They are awfully concerned with percentage ratings over being “conservative enough.” McCarthy was less conservative than Cantor by that measure. But he’s a “relationship guy,” so goes the mythology.

The best of your conference? that’s like finding the least rotten fish in the barrel.

Overqualified.

I don’t think he or anyone would have the choice not to - it’s the first clause in the job description.

But aren’t members of the “leadership team” just RINOs? So they don’t count as members of “our party.”

I hope the main event is not as disappointing as most Super Bowls, however!
