This Tuesday, Rep. Ryan Zinke, a former Navy SEAL Team Six commander, confirmed with Brandon Tyler Webb, founder of the SofRep special operations news site, that he is considering running for House speaker so as to take a stand “against all enemies, foreign and domestic,” including President Barack Hussein Obama.
“I think there are a few people who can do that,” the Montana Republican told Webb. “If folks like Paul Ryan and others step aside, and more of my colleagues ask me to run, I will hear the call to serve. Leadership is about service to country, not self. It’s time to advance the cause of freedom.”
According to Webb, who served under Zinke during his last tour in the Navy, the congressman is “no stranger to good leadership.”
“I would love to see him go against the grain and shake things up as the new speaker,” Webb wrote. “He’s a freshman but knows how to lead.”
And a strong leader is exactly what we need right now, especially given the host of problems that plague us — from nonstop illegal immigration to out-of-control entitlement spending and constant attempts to impinge upon the Second Amendment-protected rights of all Americans.
Webb added that we need someone capable of offering “real solutions, not the bull**** political rhetoric we’ve all become accustomed to.”
“Zinke is a proven leader, and in Washington politics it’s time to lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way,” Webb concluded. “Go get’em Z.”
Zinke certainly sounds a whole lot tougher than a weeping John Boehner, who unfortunately has spent his entire term as House Speaker capitulating to the president’s every demand.
As Webb said, we need a real leader, and we need one immediately. Maybe Zinke is that leader.
Do you agree that Zinke would likely make a much better House speaker than John Boehner? Please share this post on Facebook or Twitter and let us know what you think!
Your first reply made no sense at all in response to mine. You were just scrambling through your pea sized brain to find something to say.
Your first post made no sense since the names were coincidental.
I was just trying to educate you as to the quote in the pic.
Thanks for taking the time, it was special.
But that didn't make any sense. It still doesn't in spite of your retarded explanations.
I bet a lot doesn’t make any sense, to you.
When it comes to your ramblings none of it makes sense. The fact that you immediately resorted to ad-hominems is proof that you don’t believe a word of what you’re saying. It’s just the defensive blather of a halfwit.
His awards are amazing and I respect him greatly for them but I’m reminded of Senator Bob Kerry who won the Medal of Honor in Vietnam and went on to become one of the Democrats biggest raving Liberals.
Now comes Zinke, with lots of military awards and saying all the right things but then voting RINO. Conservative Review grades him at 38% which is an F.
We have too many RINO’s already. We don’t need one as Speaker.
Sure, since you need to believe that in order to get through your next five minutes after exposing yourself as a crybaby and a moron.
God never abandons those who love Him but, there’s always a but, America abandoned God first. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego had the right point of view and knew Him. His is a tough love, but righteous and everlasting. It is not abandonment, but consequential. Child sacrifice is never, never, never acceptable. He hates it. And since it is practiced worldwide, I think the Messiah’s rule is coming.
You’re projecting. That fact that you can’t respond to a simple correction without ad-hominem is a crybaby response.
Flies seem to like him, though. But their standards are not especially high.
There was no correction. That you still think so after having the obvious rubbed in your face shows how right I am about you.
It’s late and tomorrow you will still be a moron.
Well, Dan Webster is kinda meh and is probably gonna get redistricted into an an unwinnable seat. So an alternative is good.
Zinke is new, don’t know much about him, not much of a track record. But I do recall he was not the conservative choice in the primary, at least Campaignpete r-ct and Montanajoe didn’t think so.

Current opinions of him sound favorable though.
Whether I was right or not I corrected you. Your response was a non-sequitur. You came up with an explanation in your second response so you know that both of those statements are true.
Your continued use of ad-hominem reveals your defensiveness and lack of intelligence.
Ryan Zinke is not too popular with my conservative buddies here in Montana. And when he was running for congress there were no SEAL buddies who were campaigning for him. He had a bad rep with them. I don’t trust him either.
training as in snapping necks? Wouldn't hurt at this point...
Forgot about insects, good point.
At first hearing he came off as being tough, but the more I read he is very middle of the road. I was giving him the benefit of a doubt because Montana isn’t the most conservative state anymore because the libs have moved in (which is why I no longer want to move there) and he may be doing what he was elected to do.
Don’t know what he promised and I don’t know if SEALs actually do endorsements publicly (the one I know hardly talks at all) so I’ll just take everyone’s input and hope we do get the best replacement for Boehner.
ROTFL
He’s a middle of the road guy on a lot of issues.
He’s not a conservative and doesn’t have good conservative ratings.
He’s also thin-skinned and gets snippy at criticism. Reacting stoutly to criticism is fine by me but Zinke is one of those who saves most of his ire for conservatives.
He was just on the radio here a couple days ago and got huffy with some older conservative callers who asked for explanations.
He’s a “let’s get things done” kind of guy and has openly stated that he doesn’t care who he working with as long as they are working toward a goal.
Not a conservative goal, just a goal.
He is a guy who does not know or perhaps care that the Dems want to destroy us and always appreciate it when the Republicans are will to help reach that goal.
