House Speaker Paul Ryan held a meeting a with members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus Tuesday in an attempt to persuade them to vote for his 2017 budget plan, but judging from one member's response, Ryan's efforts were not very successful.
"There's not a snowball's chance in hell that I'll vote for that," caucus member Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) said. At least two other caucus members described the meeting as "intense," the Huffington Post reported.
Ryan reportedly met with a group of about 25 members of the conservative caucus in the speaker's office over beer, chips, soda and "all the normal kinds of bagged munchies that you're not supposed to eat." The newly elected GOP leader told the members that if they want to pass appropriations bills this year, then they have to accept next year's proposed spending plan.
But Brooks said that's not going to happen because the plan isn't "fiscally responsible" enough.
"What we're doing is like getting a squirt bottle and thinking that’s going to stop the Titanic from sinking," Brooks said after listening to Ryan make his case.

"Don't dare be conservative in an election year!"
And then they say "Don't dare be conservative in a NON-election year!"
In other words, NEVER be conservative!
Well FU Paul!
Way To Go Mo. He’s my Congress Critter.
You mean Ryan didn’t get beaten up enough over the Omnibus Spending Bill to register? What’s it going to take, a two-by-four upside the head?
Primary Lyin Ryan!
If he wins anyhow vote for the rat running against him. After we retire 4 or 5 of these weasels the message will sink in.
Bet it fully funds 0bamacare and executive amnesty.
Hey, Hey Paul......Obama wants to MARRY YOU!! He LOVES YOU, you big ,stupid OAF!!! He wants to DESTROY love while he;s at it!
Who made that faggy remark about “all the things you’re not supposed to eat”? Was that Ryan? If so, he’s worse that I thought.
Pound sand Ruan
Obama has a pen and a phone and Ryan has a squirt bottle!
Isn’t this the group that sold us out to get Ryan in the first place? I’m suddenly thinking about roosting chickens...
Go back in time. The Freedom Caucus installed this POS traitor as Speaker, with Teddy’s blessing.
And before you flame me Cruz folks, go further back and look for articles in here where Teddy met with them multiple times to coordinate between House and Senate. Cruz was their Senate leader.
NOTICE: I DIDNT CALL NAMES AGAINST FREEPERS. I SUGGEST ALL OF YOU START DOING THE SAME.
Let’s get back to issues folks. Enough of the bull$hit in here.
Same logic people demand we follow to vote establishment/uniparty for republican candidate.
Am convinced after Hastert, Boehner and now Ryan, we need to stop picking Northerners be Speaker.
Give me a Southerner like Newt any day.
I can’t imagine not giving him a wedgie and a kick in the ass for such a proposal.
Ryan needs to go play in traffic.
Ryan, why are you still above ground?
Do us a favor and contribute to CO2 reduction.
Cyanide...buy it, consume it, reap the rewards, RINOhole.
