  1. Folks we have to get corporate money out of politics. It has infected both major parties. I watched 99% of conservatives raise hell for four days that they did not want McCarthy. But big money overrode their wishes. Maybe it’s time we stop fighting amongst ourselves, and start fighting to make the peoples voices more important than the corporations’ dollars.

  2. Term limits is only half of the problem. We must also get corporate money out of politics. Democrat, Republican, independent, Martian, whatever. Corporate money is overriding the voice of the voters.

  3. Dig a little deeper. How did someone that 99% of conservatives didn’t want when the speaker ship? Could it have anything to do with the $500 million he raised in corporate donations?

  4. We are not happy with him as speaker. At all. Furthermore, don’t let the glow of this moment fool you. The Republican party has a lot of scores to settle now. Internal pay-back. Congress is about to be much less functional, if that’s even possible.

  5. The people’s voices will not matter until corporate money stops, buying politicians and political parties.

  6. Yep, the corporate donors who gave $500 million to buy the speakers gavel will be calling all of the shots. The rest of this is theater to keep voters in line.

  7. We the people don’t have $500 million to buy the speaker of the house of representatives.

  8. Yeah, Nancy really disappointed me when she would not block members of Congress from trading in stocks, they have oversight over.

  9. Nice illusion wasn’t it? Corporations donated half $1 billion to this guy. Yet 99% of conservatives didn’t want him.

  10. The people with the money to donate will be the ones who get what they want.

  11. I just don’t see that happening as long as corporate money overrides the will of the people.

  12. Corporate donors choose our speaker. Prepare to be disappointed.

  13. Prepare to be disillusioned. Speeches are to keep voters in line. What’s really done is dictated by large corporations, who make millions of dollars in donations.

  14. Not nearly as much as the corporate donors who bought the speaker of the house with their donations.

  15.  @vry3555  Your taxes are not going to the coporations for them to donate, Vry. You don't quite understand.

  16. Bought and paid for by corporate donations.

  17.  @lindalovatt5799  Good point Linda. I’m wondering if conservatives are going to feel the effects of a handful of people blocking the conservative agenda. I wonder if they will even notice.

  18.  @dicky7600  I said disappointed. I did not say surprised. You will get better results if you slow down and read carefully.

  19.  @johnwelch615  Did I SAY it was the only thing? Did you assume I was required to publish a 5,000 word essay? Think John. Think. And work on reading comprehension.

  20.  @johnwelch615  Speaking of dismissing comments, yours seems to be gone. Did you delete it?

  21. Nancy, the corporations won. If you have been on YouTube any this week, you have seen that 99% of conservatives did not want McCarthy. But corporations donated $500 million to McCarthy, and they bought the speakers gavel. Prepare to be disappointed. Speeches are to keep voters in line, they are not binding contracts.

  22. I watched 99% of conservatives raise hell that they did not want McCarthy as speaker. But he raised half $1 billion for his party, so his party kept forcing the issue.

  23. He raised half $1 billion for his party, and his party made him speaker over the objections of 99% of Republican voters. I think he’s going to be true to his corporate donors. We have to get corporate money out of our politics. Freedom of speech is for people, not corporations.
