Yep.

Don’t hide funding for the Perverted Arts in a bill covering funding national defense.

no omnibus spending. Johnson rocks.

JUST IN Romney just made a nasty statment about Johnson's lack of experience.

Romney not liking Johnson is a good sign.

Reek knows he’s a lame duck senator.

WaPo congressional correspondent saying on CSPAN there isn't the opposition against Johnson there had been for the other candidates and... in fact... he's only been gaining support

Says he wouldn't be surprised if Johnson gets it on the 1st vote

Which means that McCarthy’s shite getting exposed seems to have broken the opposition.

2 different correspondents saying Reps who voted 'present' during the caucus votes have announced they'll back Johnson on the House Floor... further solidifying his bid

Apparently Johnson just got a hug from some Texas Dem woman as they are doing the quorum call

Looks like he is going to get it.

Very good compromise choice.

The hens on Fox are big mad.

The hens on CNN and MSNBC are bigger mad.

Sounds like MJ is the wise choice.

I know people that have known Mike forever and my wife took care of his kid. Everyone that's ever had anything to do with him that I have talked to all say the same thing. He's a genuinely good man who got in politics for the right reasons. He's not really ambitious but he just keeps rising. He's a devout Christian. Just a solid choice for speaker all around.

Dark horse candidate that the media couldn’t smear leading up to this.


Jordan, Scalise, etc, had been high profile for years and a lot of people had time to go searching for skeletons.

Johnson? Him coming in as a stealth candidate means they have to dig hard for shite now.

Exactly. The louder the Paul Ryan acolytes scream, the better it is for America.

Damn... this other WaPo correspondent on CSPAN now saying Johnson has no business being Speaker b/c he's only been in the House 7 years and doesn't have the experience needed

Same people that creamed over Barry Buttfrick running for the White House after less than a full term as a show pony in the Senate.

To this point... the WaPo dude I just referenced in my last post said he needed to Google Johnson at 10:00 to get more info on him

Sounds like this journalist needs to learn how to use Google b/c other Mike Johnsons popped up 1st

Yeah not enough experience, I’d much rather someone with so much experience they are barely alive like half of congress.
