He wants time with his family, then he shouldn’t take the job. Military men and women are often away from their families to serve their country. They don’t get the choose.

The rules change concerned me. Like Boehner didn’t behave enough like insulated royalty. If members can’t toss the Speaker anymore he’ll rule with an iron fist.

Except for Sen. Lindsey Graham...who gets to spend time with the important men in his life, doesn't fulfill his Air Force Reserve service requirements, yet somehow gets promoted repeatedly instead of dishonorably discharged..

Ann Coulter’s column today is about Ryan.

Here’s an example: “Two years ago, Ryan bragged to a Catholic radio station: “I actually campaigned with Jack Kemp against a thing called Prop 187.”

“That “thing” was an overwhelmingly popular initiative to prevent illegal aliens from collecting government benefits. It gave Republicans their biggest victory in California in the last 30 years, was supported by a majority of blacks, a majority of whites, a majority of Asians and 31 percent of Hispanics.”

My God! Is Ryan brain dead? We are not a tyranny.

Washington DC crossed the self serving tipping point just after Newt Gingrich was dismantled bit by bit.

IMHO it needs to be scuttled as an institution thru the ballot boxes at every opportunity. Take em out like Cantor at every turn. Don't even give them the chance to lie to you like McConnell, Boehner, Landreau, McCain, Graham, Ryan, Bush, etc... do at every principled moment of action.

I am so sick of the Republicans in Congress.

No principles. No courage. No common sense. No sense of responsibility to their constituents.

They make me retch.

“..... FREEDOM CAUCUS ....”

And they wonder why 50% of the people don’t vote. When they never put good candidates who love the country and adhere to the Constitution on the ballot, they expect average 60 hour per week working people to do the jobs of politicians as well. GFY dude

Freedom Caucus. LOL!!!

They’re all Republicans and their specialty is appeasement and caving.

The GOP is the Party of Excuses. You would think that more people would be on to them by now.

"He finally relented and said, sure, I’ll take the job … on three conditions:

The House Freedom Caucus, the Republican Study Committee, and the moderate Tuesday Group all need to support me."

So all the so called "Freedom Caucus" had to do was NOTHING to keep Paul Rino out? That's it? All they had to do was NOT endorse this rino pro amnesty idiot to stop him. They didn't need to fight him, they just needed to do NOTHING... and they couldn't even do that.

The vast majority of Americans have failed to realize that our normal traditional political methods no longer apply. There is a real split between the elected “elites” and the so called electorate.

When they never put good candidates who love the country

************
We need a party that stands for something and candidates who will fight relentlessly for it. We also need people who don’t back off at the first sign of resistance; you can’t score points when you’re always playing defense.

We need political commandos with the fortitude of Navy SEALs who will stop at nothing to advance conservative interests. Those types of people will NEVER come from the Republican Party which is too compromised to ever be effective.
