"You don't understand...there was shrinkage!"

George Costanza

Mike "Tiny" Johnson's favorability rating has dropped in the toilet among Republican voters after his latest antic with the budget, and this has prompted Thomas Massie to vow not to vote for the Woody Allen Speaker for another term.

In a Rasmussen poll sampling 1,454 people just 38 percent said they view him at least somewhat favorably — down from 44 percent who said the same in April. Only 14% view him "very favorably" and 36% view him unfavorably and 14% very unfavorably.

Frankly, I'm surprised his numbers are that high. But Mike goes on lots of Sunday talk shows and the like and he always talks a good game. He plays the champion of our values while voting with the Democrats - the worst sort of snake.

I cannot believe Mike Johnson is the best we can do (nor Kevin McCarthy, nor John Boehner, nor the last few Squeekers. Our last Speaker who wasn't useless was Newt Gingrich, and he was all over the map, leading to unforced errors.) The fact that he's the candidate everyone could accept in the House shows just how out-of-touch the political class is with Middle America and what we want. This election does not seem to have penetrated their thick skulls either. We have a lot of work to do to remove the RINO piglets who are snorting their way to the trough.

Just having an R behind a name is not enough anymore; we need people who are on our side, not their own and not on the side of the Ruling Class. The fact we are going to wind up with a Speaker like Johnson is proof that we have a lot of work to do. How can we restore a nation if we cannot even restore the Republican Party?
