PEMA LEVY 2:01 PM EST, WEDNESDAY JANUARY 2, 2013

Rep. Tom Price (R-GA) called for "red state representation" in House leadership on Wednesday, a day before House Republicans will select the majority's leadership for the 113th Congress, during an interview on Washington, D.C. talk radio station WMAL.

"I think we need red state representation in both our leadership as well as the organizing committees that we have," Price said.

Price was responding to a question from "Morning on the Mall" host Larry O'Connor about whether he would be willing to seek the role of speaker if Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) is not re-elected to the position.

1. They want some communist leadership?

Isn't that what a "Red State" is? Or am I just channeling some McCarthyisms?

Or snark? I think it's snark.

[sakabatou]

2. That's what I thought!

He wants a communist state representation? What?

[SoapBox]

3. My first thoughts as well...

Let's hear THAT broadcast on all the LimpStream Media channels!

Oh ya, never happen...and, I'll bet that this phraseology gets dropped real fast.

[daa]

4. That bitthole is my rep until tomorrow. Then I get "I'm sorry rush" Gingrey.

All 8 Georgia repugs voted against the deal.

[lunatica]

5. They hate all government except for those special parts

which they want for themselves alone.

[libdem4life]

6. ... and on a case-by-case, as needed to get re-elected, basis.

[onehandle]

7. Red staters need a True Conservative Party.

The GOP will always sell you out. Now is the time for a Real Tea Party Party.

Go Third Party!

[Berlin Expat]

8. I couldn't agree with you more....

we really need to egg the Teahadis on into going third-party.

9. No, thanks. I'm in GA and we have a motley crew of idiots in Congress

down here. They hate everybody who isn't an old white male rich person.
The Republicans down here are a special breed of ignorant. I don't want them anywhere near leadership - of anything!

10. amen Sister

all the verification one needs is the election of Deal to the governorship.

11. Doubling down on the crazy, then.

Interesting strategy.
