Paul Ryan is in another fight he doesn’t want, this time over LGBT rights
Washington Post ^ | May 26, 2016 | Kelsey Snell

House Speaker Paul D. Ryan finds himself in the middle of yet another Republican civil war as the battle over LGBT rights has come to Congress, threatening to divide an already fractured GOP.

It is a fight the speaker does not want to have — especially in a competitive election year in which presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s candidacy is already tearing the party apart.

Dear Mr. Ryan,

You were sent there to fight. Lead, follow or get out of the way!

All Congress has to do is pass a memo of understanding, or whatever THEY call them stating, anything other than heterosexuality is an abomination of God and We Americans will no longer recognize anything other than heterosexuality

Let them explode on the floor and whatever, but some men with balls need to stand tall and strong and I just BET'cha', President Trump will sign the thing into law ! !

What civil war? It appears to be a fight between the DC Uni-Party and the few remaining Republicans.

Ryan's first instinct is always to give the left what it wants so as to avoid a fight.

Ditch the GOPe's pathetic princeling, Paul Ryan.



There is an alternative.

Make it Happen!

Vote Paul Nehlen August 9

F transgender / pedophile rights. Stop giving them the time of day. All they want is unlimited access to your kids. Just set up goat farms with keyed access that are hidden from plain sight and tell ‘em that’s their only option...

“””” as the battle over LGBT rights has come to Congress””””

The lgbt people have the same rights as every other US citizen. What they want is special rights and to be listed as a protected class. Screwum.

Being a fiscal conservative is a hard job these days. Nobody wants to argue over the budget projections for 2020.

With such high hopes for Congressman Ryan, he has been a dismal failure. Trump has him in a “half-nelson” and will get him to his knees.

Paul, you must learn to get off the barb wire fence.

Straddling it for years can cause considerable damage.

Concentrate on actually defending the beliefs you claimed to have when you ran for office.

And stop being a aniviling, whining bitch about the upcoming election.

Buckle down and help a republican heterosexual, not a democrat lesbian, win the presidency.

We need to get something straight here. The LGBT issue is about painting Repiblicans into a corner in an election year. On a national level, they should ignore this. If. It comes up in debates or conversations, say it is a local issue and move on. If they don’t want to move on, throw it back in their faces.

This is my take. “Democrats forced states to close mental hospitals. A man wanting to be a woman or vice versa is not normal. The country isn’t ready to let the inmates run the asylum.”

Can’t everybody just leave Paul Rino alone and let him conduct the Cheap Labor Express in peace?

The Dems are playing Lyin Ryan like a drum. Putting up embarassing amendments like this homo stuff and sinking his appropriations bill. He simply has no fight in him or he is one of them. Period.

Ryan and the GOP Establishment are quietly expanding ‘the big tent’ by approving LGBT executive orders.

On Wednesday the Illinois Republican Congressman crossed over to side with Democrats on an LGBT executive order concerning federal contracts.

I like how the leftists at the ComPost have shifted the bathroom controversy ginned up by Bath House, converting it into a Republican problem.

You have waaay too much faith in Trump on that score, I fear.
