But wait a minute. Republicans are reaching across the aisle and giving Obama everything he wants, right? What happened to all this talk about how Republicans "won't work" with Obama? Isn't this what the media and Dems want? So what did Obama "won?" He's getting bipartishanship and the Republicans should now get those precious moderates and independent voters next year.

[sarcasm]
But you need to understand! When the Dems lose, the GOP "isn't being cooperative"; when the Dems win, the GOP "has been defeated". No matter what the scenario, the opponents (even those who, in reality, are quislings who bear no resemblance to the mythical opponents of the Dems) are "bad". The trick is to replace reality with political wish-fulfillment which is then implemented by the MSM, the fourth branch of government. Didn't your high school civics class cover this? :)

Saying they “declared victory over the Republicans” is like me saying I’ve declared victory over my steak before I eat it. In both cases, the fight (such as it is) was over before it started.

As I feared, when I first heard that this boy was entering the race for speaker, the establishment would push him through and we would get stuck with Boehner-lite, and that is exactly what has happened.

Do you remember how biden wiped the floor with this idiot in the debate they had in 2012? biden is just a stupid iodiot. When chicken Ryan gets into the chambers of the great first king of Amerika, his knees will tremble and ryan will bow and worship the first king of Ameripotia as he just did.

I hope Rush spends copious time on this today, and discusses that if Trump or Cruz wins the president, they will have trouble with Ryan, I suspect, and McConnell...I know some fine land in Siberia those two can emigrate to...

Meet the new Speaker, same as the old Speaker.

What a bunch of eunichs. No balls whatsoever.

I would like a list of RINOs who caved and voted for this.

It’s hard to call it a “victory” when all the players are on the same team, with a dwindling handful of exceptions.

The gop had control of both the house, the senate, and the presidency under GWB. When they had it, they acted just like they are now.

Nailed it. People need to start opting out of all of it. Mass civil disobedience is the only way. If 100 million + productive citizens stop filing tax returns, paying speeding tickets, property taxes, homeschooling, paying their mortgage, applying for zoning permits, etc, it will overwhelm the system and we can rebuild. If everyone takes 10% of what they used to spend on taxes, fees and fines to fund a defense and restitution fund for to help the ones that the government does prosecute, we could care for the wounded and see them through. It's a pipe dream, but what non-violent options are we left with?

Once again the Republicans get outwitted by 0bama.

Let's put this in perspective; 0bama routinely smacks around the GOP House like a bunch of dim-witted red-headed step children. And then 0bama goes out on the world stage, or sends his buffoons Clinton and now Kerry, and they are the laughingstock of the world. Internationally, Vladimir Putin and Sergei Lavrov just beat up Kerry and took his lunch money.

And the GOP is easily bested by an inept 0bama regime. That's how bad it really is.

To me, “Republican” has become synonymous with “Traitor”.

And this is why I can not get to excited about the GOP nomination. It will be managed behind the scenes to give it to Jeb or some other non entity, and then you will see the same flip flop crap.

Thanks Paul Ryan.

With the budget Ryan got on board with and passed, it fully funds what Obama asked for in all of the following areas (and probably more):

Obama Care
Planned Parenthood
Syrian Refugees
New Foreign work Visas

That right there says it all IMHO.

In terms of this first round with Paul Ryan, sorry to say it...but there it is. Despite Ryan’s high words...

“Old Speaker of the House Boehner...meet the new Speaker of the House, Ryan. They are acting the same.”

Amen. Ryan is an Obama and establishment huckster. More for them and less for America.

Thank you Paul Ryan for nothing. Ryan is like John Boehner, minus the martinis and the smokes.
