Ryan sells conservatives on plan to end shutdown, debt standoff (Surrenders on ObamaCare)
The Hill ^ | 10/9/13 | Russell Berman

Posted on 10/09/2013 12:03:42 PM PDT by jimbo123

House conservatives are discussing a two-step plan outlined by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) to lift the debt ceiling and reopen the government long enough for Congress to pass long-term entitlement reforms.

Ryan, the House Budget Committee chairman, presented the idea on Wednesday afternoon at a meeting of the conservative Republican Study Committee. Lawmakers leaving the confab said the influential group had not reached a consensus position on the debt ceiling, or an end to the government shutdown.

The plan appeared to be a more detailed version of a proposal that Ryan made Wednesday in an op/ed he penned in The Wall Street Journal. He called for “modest” structural changes to Medicare and Social Security to resolve the fiscal crisis.

The article made no mention of delaying or defunding President Obama’s healthcare law

The Individual Mandate is Sedition to the Constitution.

Ryan needs to move to Mexico. Or Kenya.

Back during the campaign I thought Ryan was a rising star - BOY, WAS I WRONG!

"long-term entitlement reforms".

Once again, Ryan is going to paint the GOP as wanting to cut entitlements and all the progress we've made growing a spine is going to go down the tubes when the electorate turns on us.

Now if he had said long enough to pass an industry restoration act which raised import tariffs, I'd go for that.

On the disappointment scale, Paul Ryan is right there at the top with Rubio.

Just what is wrong with Ryan? Is there some sort of parasitic LIB/RINO worm eating its way through his cortex? Hold tough, Congressmen. We need to have Clown Prince nobama asking to be highly sedated and removed. Asking.

Things have been going just fine without Ryan’s interference. He should just SHUT UP and realize his day is done.

During the campaign, Ryan spent too much time around Romney and his crew of RINO advisors, he was tainted by RINOism. The best thing he could do is go spend a month or two camping in the deep woods of Wisconsin to get his mind straight again.

I trust Gohmert. From the article:

In the conservative meeting, Ryan defended deemphasizing ObamaCare, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) said.

“He said he was just trying to start the conversation,” Gohmert said.

But Gohmert said ObamaCare must be addressed in any talks.

HEY! Obamazombie RYAN! Yeah, YOU!

Answer this set of questions:

Does the refusal of Commander in Chief Obama to pay for the Funeral expenses of HIS four dead Warriors rise to the level of an Impeachable Offense?

“Generally, dereliction of duty refers to failure through negligence or obstinacy to perform one’s legal or moral duty to a reasonable expectation. In other words, it means willful or negligent failure to perform assigned duties or performing them in a culpably inefficient manner. Dereliction of duty is a specific offense in military law. “ (Quote from USLegal.com).

Dereliction of duty is an Impeachable Offense, as stipulated in the US Constitution. Dereliction of duty is also a US Military offense subject to a US Military Courts Martial.

Will our sorry Congressional RINOs do their usual kid gloves, “boys will be boys” approach to Obama’s numerous violations of the US Constitution, or will they FINALLY draw up The Articles of Impeachment for B. Hussein Obama?

BTW Obamazombie Ryan, take your time, think it through as RINO Hunting Season begins 1-1-2014.

This RINO hunt has no bag limits, tents or caves - - - .

Yes! I wonder if Obamacare is omitted from Ryan's proposal as a way not to fund it. Just a thought.

Ryan always seems to offer a plan to start negotiations ... however, no one on the Hill seems to be in the ‘negotiation mood’. Guess the lights aren't dim enough and not enough smoke in the room.
