Paul Ryan is afraid to lead
The Washington Times ^ | 06/22/2017 | Charles Hurt

Posted on 08/31/2017 6:06:23 PM PDT by ForYourChildren

The thing people like about House Speaker Paul D. Ryan is that he is a serious guy who is capable of thinking big and has an ambitious agenda to salvage our ungovernable federal bureaucracy.

He was never the smoothest communicator or slickest politician. Serious, smart and honest has always been his currency.

So now the question is, Mr. Speaker, where is your big, bold agenda?

This country is at a political crossroads that only comes around once or twice in a century. Congressional Republicans are totally blowing it.

Right now the GOP comfortably controls both chambers of Congress. In the Senate, they are even poised to pick up seats in next year’s elections — a nearly impossible feat for the party in power during midterm races.

Down Pennsylvania Ave., there is a Republican president in the White House who is starving for major legislative accomplishments. The guy would literally sign anything he could be convinced is good for the country.

The only opposition Republicans face in dramatically overhauling the bloated federal bureaucracy would come from the squeamish and fickle Supreme Court. But history has shown that Republicans always win in political showdowns with the federal courts.

Perhaps best of all for Republicans right now is that the deranged media is completely obsessed with all sorts of ridiculous things that nobody — and I mean NOBODY — cares about. Republicans could start ramming through big, serious legislation gutting the federal bureaucracy, and the media would not even know it. Unless they could somehow pin it on Russia.

So, Mr. Speaker, where is your bill to abolish the federal Department of Education? That should be done on Monday.

By Tuesday, start the process of abolishing the federal Department of Labor. Defund the entire Internal Revenue Service while you are at it.

Paul Ryan is a snowflake and shouldn’t be in the position that he is in.

Nancy told him it was OK to criticize Antifa, so he did. He wasn’t sure, but she helped him out. Thanks Nancy!

Paul Ryan is a ‘coaster’, who thinks he can coast until Trump is gone. Problem is he also will be gone.

Bring back Newt, the speaker does not have to be a Congressman, can be an outsider, as far as I know.

Paul Ryan is a snowflake. A sewer dweller. He needs to leave.

Paul Ryan said effectively, “would it not be nice if Democrats controlled the Presidency?”

Paul Ryan wanted Hillary to win. Then Paul Ryan wouldn’t have to lead. He could still hide, like the snowflake that he is. Or as some would say, he could lead from behind. Behind what? Whose behind is the Paul Ryan snowflake after?

“Let us never forget the audio of Speaker Paul Ryan on a conference call with House Republicans, where he told them to ditch defending Trump. The Republican leader told members of the U.S. House of Representatives that he was abandoning then GOP presidential nominee, Donald Trump forever.”

“President Hillary Clinton accountable.” According to Ryan, the Republicans had no chance at the White House, so at the very least they should try to retain their House majority.

“Are you [Paul Ryan] crazy? We haven’t held anyone accountable. You haven’t even let us hold the IRS commissioner accountable [for using government power to harm President Obama’s political adversaries],” an astonished Gohmert said to the speaker on a call.

As I recall no one wanted the job but that might have been a big snow job. That no one wanted the job is telling. Bunch of leaders we got there. Its like we got a bunch of Patty Murrarys - what way does the paper say to vote?

Build a Speaker, Build a Speaker

The Republican Party proper, the RNC, is full of backstabbing half-Democrat weasels ... in all fairness leading them probably makes cat herding look easy.

. . . a serious guy who is capable of thinking big and has an ambitious agenda to salvage our ungovernable federal bureaucracy.

What an absolute load of bovine scat.

People are wrong then. Ryan, like almost all republicans, are controlled by their lobbyists. Ryan is not timid, he is boldly doing nothing in the face of the voters wanting bold changes, because that is what his contributors and lobbyists want.

The thing that baffles me is that the GOP is even able to raise any money at all. With their track record, I wouldn’t donate to them at gunpoint. I told them as much the last time they sent me a fundraising solicitation.

Fixed it.

Change “afraid to ;ead” to “has no ability to lead” and you’ve got something.

The guy is as untalented as Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch, but does not have the ability to lie along with the race card hiding his idiocy.

“Ryan stressed the need “to go big, go bold, and do things.” He has a comprehensive, tailored agenda that covers everything from Obamacare to tax reform. And it’s there for Trump’s taking.”

What a pu$@%!!

What a snowflake.

Where are you Little Pauli Girl?

After Trump was elected, Little Pauli Girl stressed to Trump to “to go big, go bold, and do things.”

And then snowflake Little Pauli Girl sits on his butt. Afraid to lead.

What a snowflake!
