Paul Ryan is Eddie Munster and proved to be a RINO GOP-e type. Sort of shows you exactly the kind of person Chaffe-itz is, and with his stupid cheshire cat grin I hope he drops out and a real contender comes in.

What I am surprised about is Issa paving the way for another RINO to lead, when he always sort of seemed to be more conservative at least during the hearings for the IRS or Benghazi scandals.

Yes. Particularly if Boehner does not leave on Oct. 30, in which case Congress must force him to leave.

This isn’t going to end well unless the conservatives stand fast.

Oh, this isn't going to end well. It was never going to end well.

Frankly, I don't know that there are any actual conservatives in the Congress.

From the article:

he very clearly has conservative support,” Issa said. “Members of the Freedom Caucus have come to me one after the other saying, ‘Let Paul know we would be with him.’

Chaffetz-Dukakis and Issa-the-Corrupt (protector
of Clinton and Obama) are undocumented Democrats.

They are criminal enablers, complicit 100%.

The media, of course, is touting “Chaos in the Republican House of Reps”.

There is no chaos, it’s more like excitement and gratitude that Boehner is stepping aside.

No-one is insulting anybody. There is no chaos. This will be resolved. We may not like the result - but it won’t be Boehner. Just some young new blood who may seek better advice and realize he is the people’s advocate. Not Obama’s, not Harry Reid’s and certainly not the media.

Talk Show Host Mark Levin always refers to this site as a reference:

THE CONSERVATIVE REVIEW:

https://www.conservativereview.com/Members/Scorecard/p/400351

The site has a Liberty Score ranking.

The Liberty Score® grades members of Congress on the top 50 votes over the past six years. The rolling six-year window shows a more accurate picture of a lawmaker’s performance than the traditional one or two-year scoring methods. The Liberty Score® empowers conservatives to quickly determine if a politician is supporting conservative principles separating their rhetoric from reality. Members elected after to 2009 will have scores based on less than 50 key votes.

Scores are determined by points earned divided by potential points. Voting with the conservative position earns 1 point, voting against the conservative position earns 0 points. Missed votes are not included in a member of Congress’ score. A letter grade is assigned to each member to help you quickly determine if a lawmaker is supporting conservative principles. The Liberty Score® helps evaluate your Representatives and Senators, providing the tools necessary to separate rhetoric from reality.

How does Paul RYAN rank?

ANSWER: 58% out of 100%

That gives him an ‘F’

As I said in another thread...

We don’t necessarily need a conservative to be Speaker of the House. We simply need someone who wants to win.

Our problem the past 4 years hasn’t been that leadership was not enacting conservative policies. It was that they weren’t holding firm against radical liberal policies.

Not funding a criminal enterprise like Planned Parenthood who are being investigated for committing felonies while selling dead baby parts IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE POSITION. IT IS A COMMON SENSE POSITION.

At this point, we only need leadership to hold firm on common sense moderate positions. Once we get the Presidency, then we go full bore on enacting conservative policies.

At that point, Cruz can lean on the House to put a Conservative in charge.

Yet these actors wonder why Trump has sparked the masses. They wonder why people are donating to Cruz.

There was a time and place when this country was not run by professional politicans. We have now become brainwashed to believe only they can run this system. Why would any politican change how this machine operates? It’s cute to watch them market themselves as instruments of change and outsiders. Pathetic lot.

I think an announcement by Ryan could be forthcoming, even though he doesn’t particularly want it. The only question I have is whether he’ll be a temporary Speaker until after the 2016 elections or whether he’ll stay on?

Now we know why Chaffetz “volunteered.” No conservative who gets as much air time as he does is on the up and up. He was hogging the notice Webster might have otherwise received.

Ryan is better than McCarthy (and Bonehead and Chaffetz).

So is Issa. Issa opposed SOPA, I like him for that.

I’m getting a little tired of the “F the GOP” comments. Do people really expect someone like conservative ex-member Alan West to be the Speaker?
