The new House Majority Leader Update: McCarthy

Well its almost that time. Will the House recogonize the rebuke that was given to them by Eric Cantors loss or will they simply move his right hand man into his position? Odd say they don't give a damn what you think so shut up already.

If/when McCarthy wins, you know liberal Democrat Republican from CA, I'm sure the base will be fine and accepting of someone worse than what we had. It's not like we wanted someone with a spine and an actual ability to read the Constitution or anything like that.

Either way it should be happening here soon. I'll make sure to come back and give some amazing in depth analysis of why the GOP hates you.

As expected McCarthy wins. Thats right the GOP decided that a man more liberal than the man that was recently rebuked and told to get his ball and go home, was the perfect choice to move into his slot.

For anyone out there who thought there was a chance that the GOP would listen. Here is your answer. They don't hear you because they don't like you. They want you to go away, and they will continue to ignore and outright defy you until they are all removed.

Ready to talk about retroactive term limits yet?

Backroom deals and the proof of a lack of spine

It was announced today that the complete surrender of the GOP is in the works. McConnell got with Reid and gave away the farm, while Boehner is making sure that the House passes the bill with Dem votes first to prevent a filibuster from Ted Cruz and Mike Lee. If you think this wasn't always the plan you've lost your mind.

Feed on the Hate, it's all we have left

 

Now that Mitch McConnell and John Boehner have officially capitulated we can go ahead and start focusing on the things that are important in life. Like how to get them both out of office now. We're looking at you Ohio.

To be honest Boehner hasn't completely tucked tail just yet, but let's be honest we all know it's coming.

Does the No budget No pay bill really make a difference?

I ask this in all seriousness. The House passing the bill is a good step I think, but where does it really get us? It allows Obama to continue his reckless spending until April at the earliest and only means that the Senate has to do the job that the Constitution requires them to do already. So again I ask does this really make a difference?

The Debt Limit is the right fight, but is only the beginning.

I have been reading a lot of things today about how people out there are thinking that we should not have the fight on the debt limit because it is as they say "the wrong fight". People like Newt Gingrich think that we should wait and fight in March at the end of the CR and allow the debt limit to raise now and make the rest of the spending official in March with an actual budget. As if the Senate will actually pass one of those. HAHAHA

We allowed this to happen now deal with it.

I have been trying to figure out what I wanted this post to say for a few days. Today it struck me as to what it was that I wanted to say. I have been reading that people think that the Conservative caucus of the Republican House screwed everything up by throwing a "Tantrum" and making sure that Plan B failed. Some people believe that by doing this we are going to be stuck with God knows what kind of deal that is going to screw us over in the long run.

Here's a news flash for you. Plan B was that plan that was going to screw us over, and it wasn't even going to wait for the long run. It was going to screw us over right from the beginning, but people are so afraid of the fiscal cliff that they don't want to believe that. They seem to believe that Congress is actually concerned with doing something that is logical and would actually be a step in the right direction for the country. If that were the case the Sandy relief fund wouldn't be 60 billion with only 11 billion going to Sandy victims and most of the money not being spent until 2015.

Boehner caving and still hates you.

We at The Handbook have often said that we believe that the Republican "Leadership" hates you. I can prove this again. Boehner is caving on everything that Obama wants. Obama has no reason to negotiate because he knows that eventually Boehner will cave and give him more than he ever asked for.

#1 Reason to make sure GOP doesn't screw up in the House

Quite simple actually. If for some reason the GOP snatches defeat from the jaws of victory and loses the house. (which lets be honest, with this cast of characters isn't completely out of the realm). Guess who gets to head up the banking committee? If you guess Maxine Waters you win the door prize.
