Paul Ryan's Wife: 11 Facts About Janna Ryan
ABC News ^ | August 13,2012 | AMY BINGHAM

Posted on 06/23/2016 6:29:37 PM PDT by george76

She was a K St. lobbyist before marrying Paul Ryan.

Janna Ryan, then Janna Little, left her small-town roots for the nation's capital to earn her law degree from George Washington University. After graduation, she worked as a tax attorney and lobbyist for PriceWaterhouseCooper and then for Williams & Jenson.

...

She went to the same college as Hillary Clinton.

Wellesley College, a seven-sisters school outside Boston, can claim Secretaries of State Hillary Clinton and Madeline Albright, ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer and correspondent Cokie Roberts among its famous alumni.

...

Politics is in her blood.

Janna Ryan's family has strong ties to Oklahoma politics.

Her grandfather, Reuel W. Little, helped found a third party – the American Party - in Oklahoma during the 1968 presidential race so to help former Alabama Gov. George Wallace get on the state's presidential ballot...

Reuel Little ran for governor in 1970 but received only 4 percent of the vote. Four years later after his failed bid, Little's son-in-law David Boren waged a successful bid for the governor's mansion.

To ABC it may be a puff piece, to me it’s an indictment.

Well, then she is also a cousin to the late country singer, Hoyt Axton. Hoyt’s mother, Mae Boren Axton, was not only the aunt of Sen. Boren, but she was also the composer of the Presley hit, “Heartbreak Hotel.”

May I ask why we need to know anything about Mrs. Ryan? We don’t vote for the spouses of office holders, and they should be left alone to have a life. If only that held true for President’s wives! We would never have heard of Hilary Clinton and could have avoided this nightmare running for office.

It needs to be better understood that Lyin’ Ryan, like the Boner before him, were both from majority Marxocrat districts. That is why these scumbags were voted in as House Leaders, because they could “reach across the aisle” and advance Marxocrat policies. Since they were both RINOs, the Marxocrats, too, would vote for them as House Leaders. The sick thing is that they both broke a tradition that required House Leaders of either party to not put bills up for a floor vote that were not supported by a majority of their respective party members. The breaking of this traditional practice is how the RINO leadership repeatedly votes against their own party for bills that Republicans, allegedly, do not want yet see implemented time and again by enabling the minority Marxocrats to prevail with political cover.

God, these people in DC are all clones of each other. Paul and Janna, Ted and Heidi, Bill and Hill, on and on it goes.

It’s just so convenient how so much of the so-called leadership have relationships, in one form or another, with all the scumbag lobbyists, Chamber of Commerce and Wall St.

It’s no wonder we’re in the shape we’re in.

Wellesley surely has some sorry alumni. Surely there must be some alumni who have made positive contributions to the country.

I think it’s sort of a self-selecting liberal bastion. You know “the place” to send ones liberal offspring to get them ready for a job ruining the country.

They certainly turned out some pedigreed losers. At least as for his benefit to the country is concerned.

Naw, this puff piece is the ramp up to show what a classy First Lady she would be. Ryan still thinks he will be the nominee with a contested convention the GOPe is trying to rig.
