Sorry, but when Obama put Ryan in the front row of his budget speech, bitch slapped him and Ryan did not respond, that shows lack of leadership. He Shoulda turned the tables on the Chump in Chief full bore!

Rep.Paul Ryan is a numbers guy, not a leadership guy. The GOP shouldn’t push him into a job he, himself, says he doesn’t like.

Watch a Fox interview of Rep. Walter Jones done be Stupid Shepard. Jones is a member of the Freedom Caucus and pretty conservative. He said Boehner should have let the vote go on today as both Jason Chaffetz & Daniel Webster are good guys who are speaker material. Jones resisted the suggestion by Stup that a consensus [mid road] type is needed.

He was determined to cut the budget until it was balanced,

I didn't realize that but if so, my impression of Paul Ryan improved slightly although I never thought he was much of a conservative. But that's exactly what we need to do. We need to cut the budget, cut spending .. but also more importantly cut corporate and individual tax rates. Then to your point ... lower taxes will drive growth and help improve the economy.

Ryan is totally overrated.

He’s an Establishment guy who somehow gets massive credit for having a grasp of arithmetic.

Just schedule a vote and go, Boehner. We can’t miss you if you won’t leave.

Aren’t we done with ‘he’s not as bad as the other?’ These guys are amnesty country destroying madmen whose motivations are stealth

They are stealth. And they are not ‘one is better than the other’. They are not working for us

Ok look at this Ryan’s character is such that he moved to include in a bill removing already promised military retirement income

If a business owner had contractually promised under signed contract retirement benefits under particular circumstances and then later moved to deny those benefits for his own reasons, redistributing that money wherever, he’d be breaching a contract

Paul Ryan does it to military retirees, who in this day, vast majority are war vets with years of deployment, just breaching contract with them. Is he working for them?

Now take it a step up. Ryan moved to include breaching contract with retirees widows. Military members voluntarily pay into a program where the military is under contract to provide widows with a
Part of the military guy’s retirement in case of his death, which goes away after he dies. The family pays for Spouse survivors benefits under agreement the surviving spouse will get paid after the retiree dies

Ryan included a reduction in that benefit

NOT. For new enrollees but for people already under contract.

Taking advantage of and ripping off military, who, if you asked to contribute to something, would. But in this case it would go to illegal aliens and others, such as congress people

The outrage was so severe he had to fold

How is that any better than a democrat?

How?

Rep Walter Jones is in the Liberty caucus, not Freedom. My error.

My hope is Ryan will now stop listening to the GOP-e.
The Tea Party put him in power...we can take it away.

Ryan, Cantor, and McCarthy co-authroed the book, Young Guns. They are cut from the same cloth.
