My mother used to growl and cuss at the politicians on TV.
As I watched the votes for Speaker of The House, for a moment I started to sound a lot like my mom.

Why not really want the job,,, you're third in line to the POTUS. A good reason to be very particular as to who gets the job, something I have not heard discussed as yet are his qualifications to be the leader of the free world.

Considering the current leader and first backup, the qualifications aren't that high.

Obama was probably the least qualified POTUS candidate ever.

One of the lib writers on USA is going on about how this activity is showing how bad the GOP is that they can't get all their members into lockstep.
I show that as a good thing. I want my representative to use their own brain, not parrot the party line.
If we ever get a valid 3rd party that starts winning seats, this show will likely be repeated many times as the big two start wheeling and dealing with the 3rd to get their candidate in. maybe we will get lucky and it will take 133 votes like it did in 1855.

He has a valid point. The Republicans voting against McCarthy are small in number compared to the moron Republicans voting in support of McCarthy. Those in support of him are part of the swamp.

McCarthy Warns Not Voting For Him Could Delay More Funds To Ukraine
WASHINGTON, DC — Amid protracted negotiations for the speakership in the House Of Representatives, former House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (CA, R) has issued a stern admonition that further delay in the process could hold up the important work of continued funds for Ukraine.
"We have continued this charade for long enough – if I am not elected Speaker of the House in the next round of voting, we face the very real possibility of Ukraine not receiving their next $44 billion allowance." said McCarthy. "Zelensky is looking down from the sky with those dreamy eyes of his, waiting for us to do the right thing."
"Come on folks, the very incomes of Raytheon lobbyists are at stake!"
Congressman Dan Crenshaw voiced his support for McCarthy, saying: "If we continue to ignore our clear Constitutional mandate to pay for the armed enforcers shutting down Russian Orthodox churches across Ukraine, we are guilty of rank dereliction of duty. We were sent to the people's house to serve the Ukrainian people, not continue this partisan infighting over who should lead America's legislature."
Congresspeople interviewed after the speech reported a change of heart. "Kevin is right. Voters didn't send us to Washington for endless debate – we are here for pork, lobbyists, $1.7 trillion omnibus bills, and to secure Ukraine's border."
UPDATE: Congress has finally held another House Speaker vote, but accidentally voted to send $100 billion to Ukraine again. As of publishing time, no Speaker has yet been chosen.
