Paul Ryan doubtful about defunding Planned Parenthood
CNN ^ | November 1, 2015 | Eugene Scott

Posted on 11/01/2015 12:41:08 PM PST by sparklite2

Bash asked, "Will you defund Planned Parenthood?"

"This is what I mean when I say being an effective opposition party. I think being an effective opposition party means being honest with people upfront about what it is we can and cannot achieve," he said.

"But we also have to push issues where we can push issues, we have to speak truth to power," he added. "We have a president that isn't willing to listen, that isn't going to sign lots of our bills into law, we have a Senate that has a very difficult process when it comes to actually getting bills voted on, so knowing that we have those constraints, we have to operate within those constraints."

“If we have to fight for it, then we will not try.”

The living, breathing attitude of a loser.

"This is what I mean when I say being an effective opposition party."

So being an effective opposition party means settling for what the Democrats approve?

He is a horrible person for the speakership. He does his own thing. He is not conservative not constitutional has contempt for the military and their families as a matter of record and he has no business in the speakership role

He will definitely block conservatives and will likely speed the invasion

Holloween is no more in my neighborhood. Middle class Texas neighborhood. The drive around and pile out of cars. Nothing whatsoever to do with getting out and meeting the neighbors.

Not assimilating not speaking English

It is as much of an invasion as anyone can define invasion

Paul Ryan will block any measures taken to stop it

He works for other people than whom he is sworn to work for

And those people always want abortion

If the republican establishment didn’t want abortion it would stop

But they do want it

Paul Ryan is a poster boy for why America wants Trump

Defunding Planned Parenthood is easy. You say, “we’re not going to pass ANYTHING at all about ANYTHING until federal tax dollars are pulled from Planned Parenthood.” Say what you want, print what you want, doesn’t matter. We’re not passing ANYTHING. And then mean it. Offer legislation appropriating the money to other women’s clinics and stand firm on that decision.

"This is what I mean when I say being an effective opposition party."

HEY MISTER SPEAKER, ARE YOU AWARE THAT YOU HAVE A MAJORITY IN BOTH HOUSES?

YOU ARE NOT THE OPPOSITION, YOU ARE THE M*A*J*O*R*I*T*Y PARTY.

I think being an effective opposition party means being honest with people upfront about what it is we can and cannot achieve," he said.

So instead of promising and not delivering, Ryan will not promise and will not deliver.

I guess this is progress.

Just imagine Pelosi or Reid speaking this way.

The GOP is dead, they just don’t know it yet.

Defunding planned parenthood is not so easy.

We the people have to elect politicians who will do the simple job of defunding planned parenthood

Paul Ryan does not work for us. He works for pro abortionists. Just like all the other GOP politicians who have prevented every measure to stop this legalized murder of more than fifty million innocent people in this country

Paul Ryan is as pro abortion as Hillary Anyone in power who does not stop abortion is pro abortion

That’s what is simple

Looks like the taxpayers are going to continue being forced to subsidize a bunch of baby butchers. I’d much rather subsidize “big oil”.

How could you possibly doubt Mitt Romney’s running mate? The guy who got his hiney kicked by Biden in a debate?

The is the very sort of political blather-speak that drives the average joe nuts. What the hell *does* he believe in, if anything? No wonder Trump is such a refreshing change. I may not agree with everything he says, but at least he says what he thinks straight up.
