May mean that the RINOs have agreed to force the appropriation bills instead of giving the Dems a CR.

That would be quite an accomplishment for the HFC!!!

"the rest of us need to establish a new movement.

Would that be The Judean People's Front or The Popular Front of Judea?

Paul Ryan works with his good friend Luis Gutierrez to push amnesty. Gutierrez is an advocate and spokesman for the Puerto Rican terrorist group FALN, responsible for over a hundred bombings and nine deaths on American soil.

You need to read up in his TPP
treasonous antics
How about the Treason TPP treaty that Scum has been ordered to Ram thru for the Globalist set that will replace our US Constitution with a International Tribunal !

Ryan lied again and again about the amnesty and Millions of H1 Visas allowed in it !

Ryan is a traitor to our country

You gotta read between lines. I never said Ryan is my first or 2nd or 3rd choice. I said Ryan is OK. When my wife asks me how is the Lasagna (which I do not like) I will reply “dear, Lasagna is OK”.

If the 40 member caucus of conservatives in House says Ryan is OK, then by golly Ryan is Ok with me.

Anything that rids traditional conservatism of the new breed of liberal idiocy and their heroes works for me. If Monty Python names it, I’m fine with it.

Just a notation to all of you throwing a tantrum about the possibility of Ryan as Speaker. You all do know that conservatives are not the only House members with a vote?
Well, I guess we can always keep Boehner until the end of Obama’s term...

No Ryan.

He was played by the Democrats.

He was going to take money from military retirement and give it to the Democrats to spend so they could buy votes.

Paul Ryan would have a short Speakership than Bob Livingston.

My first choice is not Paul Ryan. Because my number 1 issue is amnesty. But Ryan has been better on fiscal issues. So he is OK, meaning barely acceptable. If I had the power to anoint the Speaker, it would be Rep. Gohmert. But I can not vote for Speaker, so it matters little.

I can tell you pretty definitively that Trey Gowdy is not going to go for Speaker.

Well thats what liberals wanted when they demanded he be reelected over a powerless freshman democrat who could not have done a fraction of the damage this fool did/does. So now we and they are stuck with him until the House gets it’s head out of it’s arse.

Excuse me, they are ALL for Amnesty in some form or other. Unless they are willing to DEPORT ALL ILLEGALS, it is defacto amnesty in some form.

Can you show me which candidate running in 2016 for president uses the words “DEPORT ALL ILLEGALS” on their web site? I will show you one...Donald Trump.

There’s 40 strong conservatives- but 140 strong RINOs who will not vote for a conservative Speaker.
The idea of getting a conservative Speaker is pure fantasy (though a pleasant thought).

So the conservatives are after other compromises from the RINOs:
“ The changes would include stripping the speaker of his outsize power over the Republican steering committee, which appoints the chairmen for all committees as well as for Appropriations subcommittees. The changes would also reduce the leadership’s tight control over what bills and amendments reach the House floor...
The conservatives have also called for other committee members to elect their own chairmen in most cases and to remove the threat that committee leaders could lose their post if they do not support the policy position endorsed by the full House Republican Conference...
House conservatives would vote only for a speaker candidate who promised to increase their numbers on the steering committee and to not punish lawmakers who cross the leadership by stripping them of committee assignments, as Mr. Boehner did.
They are seeking other pledges as well, including a move to impeach the director of the Internal Revenue Service and a commitment to not give in and accept any stopgap spending bill if Senate Democrats block regular spending measures...”

These are smart things that would help the country, and the Party, greatly.

Ryan is the most dangerous Option of All !
He hates the gop base ! Just research this Traitors TPP lies and the Billionaires that own him

Who is running for Speaker who has a chance to defeat Ryan?

That’s the problem. He’s NOT a moron. That is why it is so disturbing that Ryan is teaming up Obama and Gutierrez to ruin our nation through an open borders policy. I’ll never know why he chooses to be a traitor.

He is a corpratist.He is only interested in conservative positions when they benefit corporations. Amnesty is an example.
