I'm conflicted. Part of me supports it. The other part of me think it's an embarrassment and going to effect Republicans in the 2024 election

bipartisan vote?

nope

Dems got their way 

WASHINGTON — A handful of Republicans joined with Democrats on Tuesday to make Kevin McCarthy the first speaker of the House in history to be ousted by a vote of the chamber, throwing Washington into chaos.

I do like the fact that I witnessed history. That by itself might be worth it. 😎

He was the only republican who had a chance to getting elected unless demonrats decided to make it a bipartisan election...and that wasn't going to happen. In the next few days, demonrats have a choice...vote as a block for Jeffries and let the selection of a new Speaker drag on, or try to extract some flesh from the next Speaker in the form of concessions to them. If it gets out they are trying the later, that republican will play hell getting votes from republicans. The republican caucus needs to lock themselves in a room and hammer out among themselves who they want...then elect him/her on the first ballot and then vote as a block behind the new Speaker on everything that gets to the floor between now and the election.

Sadly, there are enough idiots in the republican caucus that will never happen.

There is nothing repukes can do that won't get bad press - they need to ignore the MSM.

Yeah.  This is what happens when you ignore your base. Republicans wanted to shut the government down.  And, I'm all for it.  If the Republicans can stall out electing another speaker of the house for even 30 days, there's a good chance of a government shutdown happening in time for Christmas.

Q: What is the sound of one hand clapping?
A: Who knows who cares - two hands clapped.

The funny thing is, the press is blaming REPUBLICANS for the democrats ousting the Speaker. They are so dishonest...

I wouldn't say whipped. 

From my seat, it looks like it was a case of 100% carrot and 0% stick. She just bribed the ****.

When you don't honor prior concessions, this is what happens.......maybe it will be a lesson learned.
The Republicans **** canned McCarthy.....it wasn't about Democrats, though it's being painted that way.

The dims were unanimous - 208 to zero to oust mccarthy. 

The repuke votes agin him could be counted without using toes. 

Eight. 

The repukes may have hanged the man - but the dims provided the rope, the horse, and the tree.

You keep saying that, but a Monmouth University poll showed that 64% of Americans wanted a compromise (and 50% of republicans)

https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-instit ... us_092723/

Then there's this; 
This new national survey, jointly conducted by Democratic firm Global Strategy Group and Republican firm North Star Opinion Research, finds:
  • 90% of voters, including 91% of Democrats and 89% of Republicans, agree that lawmakers from both parties should work together to avoid a government shutdown and focus their efforts on finding solutions for our national debt.
  • Strong majorities of voters believe a shutdown should be avoided because it harms the economy (77%) and because it distracts from America’s larger fiscal challenges (70%).
  • Seven-in-ten voters are concerned that there will be a federal government shutdown because lawmakers will be unable to come to a budget agreement by the September 30 deadline.

The fact that your poll is the result of machine politicians working together proves it is a **** push-poll. It was literally DESIGNED to get the results it got - a complete misuse of statistics and a fraud.

The fact that you bought it reveals your dimwittery.

8 honest and ballsy republicans played a game of divide and conquer FOR the people, rather than against us.

And they pulled it off.

Disruption is the goal of any honest person at this point - which explains why weak-minded *** like @ConsRule  are against these heroes.

I have rethought this issue.

I agree that it was republicans - 8 of them, precisely - who used divide and conquer tactics to oust californicator mccarthy.
