I say why is everyone turning against Ryan when he succeeded in passing the most conservative budget in years?
That's not a small feat.
And why is every suddenly hero-worhipping 4 House reps who no one every heard of before this week?
Because they won’t stand against the traitorous GOP.
Ryan’s budget is as meaningless as the GOP.
If I recall correctly, even Ryan was surprised about that.
The only reason the "Ryan Plan" passed was that it was on the table at the time that Boehner needed a plan (any plan) to use as a bludgeon to hit Harry Reid with in the Senate. Boehner wanted the House to pass SOMETHING just to say that they passed a budget bill.
Ryan's plan was the low-hanging fruit at the time. Right place, right time. That's all.

Republicans shouldn’t act like the democrats. Period! If they do then they are different than them
You can pimp for Boehner and the GOP-E all you want (like you’ve been doing on all the other related threads), but the fact of the matter is that Boehner, Cantor, McCarthy, Hensnarling, and even Ryan are right now threatening and punishing Conservative House members for maintaining TEA party principles and voting accordingly, and thus we are watching the final disintegration of the Republican Party.
That's not a small feat.
And why is every suddenly hero-worshipping 4 House reps who no one every heard of before this week?
Do you know if there is any truth to the rumor that the 4 reps are Paulites and that's why they were removed from budget committee(s)? I do know that Dims win many battles because they form a unified front even if they don't agree on the details. The GOP doesn't seem to be able to do that.
I have heard of all four of the house reps before and they command respect. They are 4 of the best in Washington. They know what is happening.
