Well, he’s a conservative and one of the few who has actually challenged The Won, risking his job and position in doing so.
But I guess the geriatric Keyboard Kommandos out there, risking nothing, know more than Ryan does...and are busy destroying any opposition to Bambi. Way to go, Keyboard Kommandos!
Has he accomplished anything?
As he captured even a single centimeter of ground in this war for freedom?
I’m not really of a mind to cheer “trying” any longer. We are losing on every front, and our leaders are a bunch of cowards and turncoats.

Amen!
For a contingent of FReepers, no politician will ever be 'conservative' enough. It's apparently the nature of political websites that some discontented posters just want to rant and find fault with everything and everyone. Politics being a complicated business that frustrates the perpetually angry, cogency is abandoned for the pouting and insult which come too easily to some. The vacuousness they represent cannot taken be too seriously when you realize that no human being on earth could ever be conservative enough to satisfy these folks. So let them rant as they will - and ignore the cranky proclivities that seem to be symptomatic of, not just the geriatric, but the irredeemably discontented in every generation.
I agree. He had courage to step up and run and seems to be a very decent man. I hope Congressman Ryan has a long and respectable career in the public square. Some people respect a batter who only gets on base 1/3 of the time, but expect their politicians to be 100% in tune with them on issues, strategy and charm, or they are derided as not good enough.
Let's see, Ryan voted for No Child Left Behind, Medicare Part-D, ethanol subsidies.
Yea, principled Conservatives would cast such votes -- Not.
Our Republic is in peril. So called leaders like Ryan have no clue to the reality that must be faced to restore our Republic.
Ryan is at most a Conservative leaning technocrat. Ryan has no true love of Liberty or limited government as part of his DNA.
