Roskam's plan for new GOP House Speaker; ME!

My congressman, and insatiably ambitious career politician Peter Roskam (IL-6), called for a meeting Saturday of House Republicans to discuss the leadership vacuum left by Speaker John Boehner's resignation. Saying the Republicans needed "a plan, not a person", Roskam's dip, once again into the battle for leadership among greatly divided House Republicans, is clearly designed to derail the anointment of Kevin McCarthy (CA-23), current House GOP Majority Leader, as Boehner's replacement. Roskam alluded to the dysfunction which has paralyzed the House GOP majority from accomplishing anything of worth and sent Speaker Boehner fleeing for his sanity, saying that without Roskam's leadership, "we won't heal the fractures in a leadership...that is unleadable...stymied by disunity and dysfunction." Roskam belongs to the merely 'do nothing, obstructionist' wing of the House GOP caucus, voting 55 times to prevent Obamacare, voting against every job creation measure, championing trickle down economics with tax cuts for the greedy rich while granting nothing to the needy, supporting every senseless, criminal war the war party can promote, and opposing Planned Parenthood and reproductive health measures for women. But he shies away from the crazed, 'shut down the government' wing which drove Speaker Boehner into retirement. Roskam claims that "merely reshuffling the deck won't serve our members...and this effort of mine "isn't about me." Roskam lost his No. 4 leadership spot in the GOP House hierarchy last year when he tried to move up to No. 3 upon the defeat of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, another 'do nothing, obstructionist' stalwart. Roskam has shuffled the deck, and in his endless political career, every card comes up, 'ME, ME, ME'.
