One of Kevin McCarthy's leading opponents suggested House Republicans have another candidate in mind for speaker.

Rep. Bob Good (R-VA), who's gone on record in opposing McCarthy's bid for speaker of the House, told "Fox & Friends" that the "Never Kevin" faction has a backup candidate who will be revealed during Tuesday's vote.

"I won't be voting for Kevin McCarthy -- he is part of the problem, not the solution," Good said. "I will be following the constituents in the Fifth District who told me not to support Kevin McCarthy. What I told them when I started my term, I would judge him by what he did as minority leader, and there's nothing he has done to earn my vote. There is nothing that indicates to me that he is going to change his pattern since he has been in leadership, where he is part of the swamp cartel. He is the reason, on the Republican side, why we pass massive omnibus spending bills that just got rammed down our throats by Republicans in the Senate. He was part of that in leadership."

1. So McCarthy isn't fascist enough for this goomer.

I've got a list of countries that you can move to pronto and feel right at home. Russia, North Korea. Afghanistan , Philippines, Saudi Arabia etc etc etc.

2. It doesn't matter to the current republican goons.

Just like the rest of the party, they aren't interested in governing, just obstruction.

They may not have any alternatives, but they're not going to let that stop their tantrum.
