But why express his "personal desire" to send aid to Ukraine, when he voted against it repeatedly in the past?

Likely was just being told what to do (for committee assignments, fundraising efforts, etc) previously.

IIRC, he was supporting giving Ukraine money VERY quickly after he was appointed SOH.

In this day and age the 2 year cycle is horrible. They spend about 6 months "working" and the rest is fundraising for the next election.

Cool. Then don't pretend to be a man of God, and then prove yourself to be a fricking liar.


I understand your frustrations…I’m frustrated as well, but you don’t know the Man or his heart.

I don't think people understand this.

Congressmen, until they're in the rarefied atmosphere (to quote Layer Cake), spend most of their time fundraising (for themselves and the party).

You don't just get to show up and do your own thing.

Leadership requires compromise…and with a narrow majority requires more compromise.


Have the presidency and a narrow margin -- need a bigger margin.

Have a large margin and not the presidency -- need the presidency

Have no margin and no presidency -- need the presidency and a majorty

Have no houses -- need at least one house.

Have one house and not the other -- need both houses.

Have the presidency and no houses -- need one house

Have the presidency and one house -- need both houses.

Have everything -- wait until after the election.


It's a never ending stream of fricking excuses. Anyone who claims "leadership" in this thread is a fricking joke. These people do not want to lead. They will do everything they can to not lead. They actually prefer to not have power, because it lets them off the hook for having to do anything.

About what? They think mikes a fkn national hero, just for gaining the speakership.

I’d imagine like most “conservatives” many will rationalize mikes decisions “barksdale is getting $x billions of dollars” or whatever.

Because they're failing at the most important thing: winning elections nationally.

Who's been in charge of this party?

Why are we recycling failed leadership?

30 pieces of silver. He probably was promised more of a kick back from any dollars going to Ukraine.


I think most of our politicians are compromised with hidden videos of them having sex with minors. The news of that coming out is would be more damning than just taking money (which is expected from politicians).

Who is leading your party?

Why do you keep voting the same failed guys in?

Youre getting it.

The most colossal failure in leadership in decades.
