It really is stunning how open the republican leadership in both the House and Senate are with their disdain for the base of their own party. Reports now surfacing that the GOPe has entered negotiations with Nancy Pelosi to support Paul Ryan.
According to Roll Call the Democrats are willing to elect Ryan if the GOPe promise to give them comprehensive immigration reform and amnesty legislation. Representative Steve King warns of the political bloodbath which would follow such a deal.
As Rep. Paul Ryan’s history of working for open borders has come under increasing scrutiny, conservative lawmakers have begun to publicly insist that any person who seeks to ascend to the Speakership must oppose amnesty and represent the vast majority of GOP voters who want to close the immigration valve.

All Hail the Uni-Party!
Under these circumstances, every alleged GOp who votes for Ryan needs to be primaried
Thank all the idiots that demanded we elect lesser evil. No matter what.This is A L L their responsibility. This is ‘what’. It’s the people they demanded we elect now siding openly with Democrats.
So the Dem is worse huh? Nope. You closeted Democrats are worse.
Ryan as speaker would just be another good reason not to call myself a republican.
GOPe don’t really care about the state of the party. First generation of Immigrants have a 80%+ chance of voting for Democrats. Allowing more only ensure Democrats continue to win
What a bunch of unitards.
he Democrats are willing to elect Ryan if the GOPe promise to give them comprehensive immigration reform and amnesty legislation.
this will be the end of the GOP. A self inflicted wound that won’t ever heal
The GOPees could care less for the loss of votes in the future. Instead, they’re addicted to that dirty george soreass money, right here, right now.
Time to redouble our efforts to build America’s Party.
So we just wait for a conservative champion to come along, challenge Ryan, win and make us all the happiest sorority girls at the roller rink?
Right?
The failure of anyone to challenge Boehner last time is the reason my congressman was able to send his constituents a letter (that Boehner’s office drafted!) that basically said, “Throw a hat in the ring, or shut up.”
So there it is. And like it or not, he’s right. We put up or shut up.
There are at least 50 “young conservative Turks” in the House, right?
The Speaker doesn’t even have to be a critter.
Right?
Buehler? Ferris Buehler?
Anyone there?
crickets
(They must be shy.)
It was the lesser evils that sat on every right wing website like a plague of locusts browbeating any person that dared forward the novel idea of voting for principled people instead of Charlie Sheen Republicans.
They got exactly what they were told they would get and now, like spoiled children, they either bitch mightily about the fruit of their labors or stomp their feet defending their liberal choices.
I really would not expect anything more from these stinking rat traitor bastard Republicans.
The enemy is now clear and visible.
Who? You through out there with conviction, so I assume you can name names.
Which is why the California GOPe under Gerry Parsky (as picked by Bush and Rove) and Arnold "he can win" Schwarzenegger (RINO Pete Wilson's protoge) set up open primaries so that Democrats can help pick Republican nominees.
The RNC giving street money to Democrats to elect the RINO in Mississippi wasn’t enough proof??
The Chamber of Commerce has pledged $100 million to defeat Tea Party Candidates (Republicans).
The Uni-party will stop at nothing to retain control.
And an article about them spending money in Mississippi to encourage DEMOCRATS to vote for their RINO:

Look at this from the standpoint of a conservative wanting to challenge bhoner. He looks at history and what does he see? His base is so gutless they cave in to whatever the GOP fronts and abandons conservative candidates.
Anyone want to say with a straight face Mitt Romney was the most conservative person running it 12? Then who got him threogh the primaries? Where were the chest beating conservatives backing the more conservative candidates? Oh thats right. Fighting over which liberal could ‘win no matter what”.
Would YOU put your ass on the line when even the far right of the base is as trustworthy to have your back as a Democrat?
Thats history. Look at what half of FR did to Palin. And it happens every election. Look at how rather than fight for Cruz, half the ‘conservatives fixate on one bad vote and forget all the good he has done for conservatism.
Why? You tell me.
