4th Congressional District, former newsreader, Kevin McCarthy, Mark Alford, missouri, no hat, right wingnut, Speaker, vacate the Speaker

Yesterday:

Mark Alford
[October 4, 2023]
[….]
Congressman Mark Alford

We have got to get on with the business of making America great again, rebuilding our military, cutting spending, and getting back to the business of doing business in America.

Some of the responses:

Your actions speak louder than the empty words regarding our out of control national debt posted on your website. You voted to CONTINUE wasteful, unaccountable spending and did nothing “in your power” to stop the cycle of continuing resolutions and bloated omnibus bills. I could tell from your campaign speak, it was nothing but talking points with little substance and zero authenticity. Time to represent the people, not the donors.

Mark Alford [….] you’re wrong

I’m sorry, so you didn’t vote for a CR?? Maybe I missed seeing your name, if so, I apologize. Please let me know if you supported the CR. Thx.

Were you a no vote to table the motion to vacate or a YES to vacate a chair that works on behalf of the donors class and against the working class (you’re supposed to represent) that’s drowning in debt/inflation??
I didn’t think so.

I hope you’re standing behind Matt Gaetz and the ousting of Kevin McCarthy. The nerve to make a back door deal with Biden over funding for Ukraine is the most disgusting, despicable act and he needs to be removed permanently. He sold American down the toilet. He should be censured and removed from office.

Keep electing clowns, expect a circus.

he voted no to keep Mccarthy

Hopefully the compromising Republican lawmakers learned a lesson yesterday. We are darn sick and tired of y’all constantly giving in to the liberals. Playing nice with the Democrats gets us nowhere, hasn’t for decades. Wake up! We need and want a Conservative Nanny Pelosi.

Not a possibility when you keep electing clowns.

Let’s see all the comments!

Why have my comments disappeared?

I hope you get on board with the Matt Gaetz Patriots.

he won’t, he thinks if he says nice things about Trump enough we won’t notice that he always votes with the establishment GOP.

It’s a cult.

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check. Arraignment. Check.

I had really high hopes for Mark, but so far not so much good things.

Me too, wished I had listened to the naysayers in the primaries.

we need to work hard primary him next elections. His vote was to keep lobbyist and PAC money. Not to back americans

Republicans can’t even keep a Speaker in place, let alone pass any legislation.

not when he goes behind closed doors and makes a deal with Biden. Time he’s been called out

The number of people who would rather see chaos than you doing your job and working with peers to resolve issues and move forward is terrifying.

Obviously not in the base.

Not true. It’s simple! Quit constantly giving in to the Democrats!!! Enough is enough. Playing nice and compromising with Democrats ALWAYS means they win, we lose!

Thank goodness he is gone!! He should have never been there in the first place. Status quo isn’t working. Going along to get along has gotten us 33 trillion dollars in debt and on the verge of war with Russia. What is even more shameful than the continuing resolution, is the fact that those J6 tapes have not been released or at least provided to the defense attorneys of every J6 political prisoner.

That’s quite a base you’ve got there, Mark.
