Why vote, indeed. If we don't vote, we can all end up like California!

Right, goldstategop? You guys are showing the way!

Consider the source of this article. The MSM are getting desperate. They see the end coming and will lie to prevent it.

And of course, we have all of these "Principled Conservatives" on FR so willing to believe anything negative.

The term "Useful Fools" comes to mind.

When was the last time the GOP cut the budget? As for the taxes, without the Dem support, part of the Bush tax cuts wouldn't have passed.

The parties can 'cut' taxes, but they haven't cut the budget or Government in years.

What we're going to get is lectures that "we don't understand" even if they get control of the US Senate. So please, please, if we get a RINO president in two years things will be better. (when pigs fly)

I'm beginning to think that if the RINOs don't get control of the US Senate and there are a few more constitutional conservatives, it might be a better long term situation. That might give us a chance to take the party from the elitist globalist sellout RINOs.

Spineless POS’s.

GOP in Congress is to the DNC as the stooge team is that perennially loses to the Harlem Globetrotters.

I don’t want Ryan near the budget. He is a skunk. We have other experts who can work the budget. Ryan has been a collecting a government check since he was 10 years old. He loves free money.

Given the wide expanse between words and actions, I’d say it’s way past time to keep believing any allegations.

Ryan has been the WORST chairman of the Budge Committee. His first budget wouldn’t balance for 40 years. John Kasich balanced the budget in 3.

Ryan portrays himself (and is portrayed) as some brilliant young gun. But when you get duped by the stupidest member of the US Senate, Patty Murray, you’re not brilliant.

I seriously am questioning whether or not to make the effort to vote this November. To quote Hillary. “What difference at this point does it make?”

How true that is. Nevermind that they will be held responsible by the Dims and their media hanmaidens anyway.

I'm hoping that this is just pre-election posturing to avoid giving the Democrats the opportunity to scare people that their (fill in the blank with your favorite government program) will be cut.

Isn’t the Hill a shill for the dems?
Maybe anything from the Hill needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

“Isn’t the Hill a shill for the dems?
Maybe anything from the Hill needs to be taken with a grain of salt.”

These articles are read by the Establishment as well, and we all need to be aware of them, and the back-room pressures and machinations that are going on. Both Ryan and Boehner have a history of just getting passed the next budget “crisis” (created by the democrats) by striking a deal as they’ve done any number of times since they took the majority. I have no doubt at all that somebody like Ryan has told the press that the republicans will “honor” the budget deal. They’re idiots, and have shown themselves to be so.

Probably cowardly liars, and conditioned to be that way by the MSM. That said, they are very disappointing too often.

The RINO enablers should be here soon.

Do you hear any GOP candidate saying they will cut spending?

No, you don’t.
Which confirms what this article is saying.

I agree that Ryan is a dupe, but this article quotes some unheard ofs, not Ryan.

The trouble with posting articles from places like the Hill here is that it fuels the “glass’s half empty sit out this election” crowd big time.

No, I hear them talking conservative spending alternatives often. You must be listening to the wrong folks or something.
