This.  There are no real "single issue" voters.  They'll tell you that they are but when you get past that single issue, they seem to fall in line with everyone else.  Find me a single issue pro life voter who favors rational gun control.

How about anti-abortion but for medical care for trans kids... (The ones who commit suicide >80% of the time with out care)  Soooo pro life bro!

 

These posters seem to really know some basic bitches.  Only care/think/vote for one thing only!  I need to get out more.

I can’t stand MTG but I understand her point. If they can’t trust and control people from recording the meetings, then perhaps they shouldn’t have meetings.

Expand  

That's not her point, but yeah, it's pathetic they have to even try to confiscate phones, because they are all children incapable of addressing important issues with any level of maturity.

Well, I know someone that essentially became single issue pro life after twins arrived prematurely, weren't viable, and died in their arms, and it just changed perspective on that issue above everything.  Getting way off topic but it's nice to try to remind ourselves everyone has different backgrounds and experiences that shape their beliefs/opinions. I fail at that constantly as well because I'm pretty sure I'm right about everything.

She just believes that rules don’t apply to her if she doesn’t agree to them.  You can’t tell her she can’t have a gun on the house floor, a phone in a closed meeting, or a speaker she doesn’t vote for. Or anyone she doesn’t vote for.

Fair point but growing up Baptist, almost every Baptist at this point is 100% on Republican issues but they'll tell you they're single issue.

Sure, but that’s a function of the political takeover of the SBC by the Republican  party in the 80s and was very intentionally partisan in nature. The Catholic single issue abortion voter is voting strictly on moral grounds, consensus with doctrine. They typically support reasonable gun control, oppose the death penalty and support the humane treatment of refugees.

Edit: they simply place abortion on a higher plane of the moral hierarchy, then the other issues.

First of all I wish them peace.  ( I sincerely mean that)

A very good friend of mine had a similar experience, devastating, it's been over 15yrs and they still are brutally scared.   I wish your friends were more thoughtful though, current attacks on women's rights are FORCING girls/women to have that same VERY traumatizing experience because they can't get care.  Fetus is non viable?, carry it to term and have it die in your arms or until you miscarry...  doesn't matter to us if you might die, we're pro-life!

Like you said, we all have our life experiences, I just have a hard time thinking that rational adult complex humans can only hold one thought in their mind to the exclusion of all others.  I think it takes willful denial.

So if Jeffries can get 10 or so Republicans to support a moderate for speaker, can Bowtie preclude a vote?

Expand  

Question is, what will he want in return?

I'd ask for no more shutdowns and stopping the Hunter Biden/impeachment nonsense.  He could get that from 20-30 of them and then we could all watch ring wing media burn.

Probably these:

- Call off impeachment inquiry

- Make the motion to vacate out of order

-50/50 committee splits with Jeffries naming the chair of Rules and Judiciary

- Deal for large Ukraine and Israel support package

- No threat of shutdown

Moderate Dems would vote for Tom Cole. The longer this drags, the chances of a coalition House rises. But it’s about 0.0% now.

GOP may move to name McHenry acting speaker instead of speaker pro tempore. I guess there’s a difference 

quite a few GOP have decided they cannot vote for Jordan or Scalise bc of how ineffective leadership has been so why elevate part of the incompetence.

John Hardon, er Hardonwood, er Harwood also seems to have a hard-on for her.

Cole is the only person in the Oklahoma delegation I don't despise. I think he'd do a good job. But I read he has no interest, and he'd never get re-elected in Oklahoma if he openly worked with Dems on something this high profile.

He's not moderate by any means at all - voted against election certification, signed onto the Dobbs amicus briefs, etc.  But someone like Don Bacon might "too moderate" to get enough GOP support. 

The Dems, off the record, feel like Cole is someone they can work with / stand.  He'd inherit a lot of McCarthy's funding infrastructure to beat back a primary challenger.

As tragic as this story is, and I'm an adopted child from a mother who couldn't have children, all that reads to me is someone who had a traumatic experience and demand they control the lives of other people and their decisions, based on their own personal tragedy. And while a delicate matter, I think that's fucked up. But you know what, they have a right to vote. I also, since life is such a sacred matter to them, hope that they saw to it to adopt and or foster one of the hundreds of thousands of children in America that are alive now and need help and a loving home.

Even if they get 217 in their side meetings, I don't think this crew can be trusted to hold the line and vote as promised they would on the floor. Too many of these fools like the attention and clicks that comes from creating chaos.

How much longer is it going to take for the "normal" chucklefucks to realize they need to stuff the burn-it-down caucus into a locker to have any chance of moving forward and electing a new speaker?

The longer this goes on the closer we get to a three party system. We are probably already there except for the formalities. The GQP is a coalition government

As it turns out, negotiating with terrorists sets a bad precedent.

There are diminishing returns on these stunts. It's all on the GOP to get this done. It's one thing to be obstructionist against the Democrats but quite another to be so against your own party. At some point the act wears thin and they'll be under pressure from their constituents to get this done.

How brave

the one I still hear is "in this economy?" or "because of the economy I can't...." I wish I were better equipped to retort, but I'm busy with my business. you know, because of the economy - I'm just not as informed on the ins and outs of what's really happening. it's maddening. though, when people throw it out and have no idea whether it's true. if you believe in the speaking truth, you know how damaging that mindset can be.

anywho, back on topic. any traction to the assertion that Rep Booker has built some kind of coalition? that would be a lovely cherry on top of this shit heap

I presume that if they get all 217 they won't call for a roll call vote to avoid the chance someone gets cute.
