The New York Times reports on the role of conservative media representing the grassroots–and how these “far-right” sites and talk radio hosts have prevented a simple coronation for Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI),the establishment choice for Speaker of the House.

“Anyone who attacks Paul Ryan as being insufficiently conservative is either woefully misinformed or maliciously destructive,” said Representative Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK)”
Let him go on Mark Levin’s show and debate that.
, Republican of Oklahoma.
“Far right”. The left’s characterization of conservatives as far right is laughable. Conservatism only seems “far” right to them because they have veered so far to the left that ideas once considered centrist appear far to their right. That gulf was widened by the left’s slavish devotion to 0bama and his Marxist ideology, and their abandonment of a rational thought process.
When the NYT gets behind the next GOP speaker, it’s the Kiss of Marxism.
[King Paul: Ryan will run only after Reps pledge ‘unconditional’ support...
No opposition, no demands...
Must show ‘they are prepared to follow’...] (from Drudge page)
Do we need more?
FYI: Cole is an establishment guy. Not exactly a lib, but certainly of the “old boy’s network. We have 5 Congressional seats. Cole is the weakest. My Rep, Lucas, is very conservative, but not bright and easily co-opted with any type of farm bill. Russell has yet to make a mark.
The other two, particularly Bridenstine are reliable conservatives. He went to Washington to fight the old boys and clashed with Boehner the first day.

Note:
ANYBODY to the right of Hubert Humphrey or JFK is ‘far right’.
FYI, there IS no ‘right’ wing. There is ONL ‘far right’.
Tom Cole is my representative unfortunately. I would love to see a conservative challenger take him down.
I thought Ryan emphatically said no, so how can anyone stop him?
Dave Brat!
Factually the Times is correct.
Levin, Drudge, et. al. HAVE stopped what would have been an automatic coronation of McCarthy, and now Ryan.
And God Bless them for doing it!
The “little people” are supposed to do what they are told, care what they are told to care about, and vote the way the media tells them to vote.
If they do not do the above, the whole “manufacturing consent” paradigm, created in the 1930’s, goes out the window. A limited, representative republic becomes plausible.
They lose their gravy train and effective aristocratic status.
They are afraid, very afraid.
