WSJ: Republicans Cut Off Their Own Heads
A gang of eight ‘Republicans’ ousts a Speaker with no plan or replacement in mind.
Republicans Cut Off Their Own Heads - WSJ
A band of eight Republicans succeeded in ousting Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker on Tuesday, and we trust they’re happy. They now have the chaos they wanted, though it isn’t clear what else they hope to achieve. Their clever plan seems to be to cut off their own heads.

Mr. McCarthy lost his job, but he rose in our esteem in recent days by the way he has handled this threatened coup. He put the country first on Saturday in refusing to let the plotters shut down the government for no good purpose. Then on Tuesday he refused to ask Democrats for a power-sharing deal in return for votes to rescue his Speakership. He put his party above his job, and his reward is that he is the first Speaker ousted in history.

The following is the end of a long-disjointed email Congressman VA-5 Bob Good sent to his constituents today:
“I voted to remove the Speaker because we cannot afford to wait and fight these battles next Congress, next year, or even next month. We have to fight for the American people today---and every day.
Your gift of $25, $50, $100, $250, or even $500 will make a big difference.
Thank you for standing with me for freedom---I will not let you down!
For God and Country, Bob”

How sad and pathetic! Not only does this so called ‘representative’ Not realize the damage he has done to his party but he is totally blind to the disconnect between his vote and degrading the Republican situation in the House and in the upcoming elections.
Then again, he’s an ex-wrestling coach who just voted with 208-Democrats against his party’s choice for Speaker and now wants Republicans to send him money! Really?

To add insult to injury, these are the ones who like to call moderate-Republicans RINO’s! Really!
