GOP Members Livid As Speaker Ryan Lets Democrats Stage A Sit-In
Breitbart.com ^ | June 23, 2016 | Neil W. McCabe

Members of the House Republican Conference are furious at Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R.-Wis.) after they were forced to sidelines for more than nine hours while House Democrats staged a college-style sit-in in the House chamber to demand restrictions on gun rights. “Ryan was so weak, he just let them take over,” a Capitol Hill source told Breitbart News.

How many people sat in front of their boob tubes in disgust as occupy wall street was taking place? How many listened to dem leadership hail the occupyers ad heroes? How many saw the debris field left in the wake of OWS and decried it as an overall disconnect with civility, decency, and moral sensibilities? How may boob-tubers look at this misdirected activism on the floor within the halls of government as nothing more than an absurd catered protest. May their rheumatic bones ache them mightily as this farcical stunt continues!

Ryan is a RINOcrat and gives aid and comfort to the enemy.

Back when Ryan was a VP candidate I thought he really had a handle on the countries economics and was excited at the prospect of his apparent expertise in setting us straight.

I can’t express my disappointment in him. What a loser.
I have lost all respect of him. He gets pushed around even worse than Boehner.

We really need Trump to show the repubs how to govern and handle the dims.
As it is now and has been , the repubs do not know how to govern, always on the defensive, caving.
I’m getting out of the Party, just haven’t decided where to go and when.

No problem. It is an important issue. Posting it twice is fine.

Ryan’s not weak, he’s a democRat wearing a GOP lapel pin. He’s as guilty as obama is regarding the damage done to our once great nation.

One thing is pure fact: Paul Ryan is not a leader, never was, and never will be!!! All he had to do is make one phone to the capitol police and tell them to clear the House floor immediately, He did nothing, he just stood by as the Obama/Tyrant Brown Shirt Democrats tsome nerve toook the House away from him.

I mean this clown Paul Ryan, has some nerve to critic, GOP, POTUS, Nominee, Donald J. Trump!!! The GOP House Caucus should force him to step down as their Majority House Speaker, and replace him immedtiately with Jeb Henslarling of Texas to become the new “effective” “Speaker-of-the-House”!!! GOP, Pubbies, broom him today!!!

The Democrats are very good at establishing the language used to control the debate. Have you noticed how, more and more, they are calling it “Gun Safety” and not “Gun Control”? Too many of the American people have figured out it’s not about “guns”, it’s about “control.” They did the same thing with “Global Warming.” After a few harsh winters of heavy snowfall, people got tired of digging out from all the Global Warming that fell every week, so the libs started using the term “Climate Change” instead.

The Dems made him look like the weakling he really is.

Thank God for Trump--we forgot what a real adult in the room looked like.

When the first group sat down, Ryan should have had the Capitol police clear the floor.

Now we have CNN and MSNBC with clocks showing how long this phony "sit-in" is lasting.

No way this was not planned in advance and co-ordinated with the Dem media toadies.

Ryan is not weak. Let a group of conservatives try a stunt like this he would show his power. He is a Democrat mole.

Ryan is such an *ss. Did Ryan really think the dems would friend him because he caved to Obama on every whim? The first time they don't get their way, they pull this stunt.

Think of all the things that would not have happened if Ryan weren't so damn intent on kissing up to Obama's agenda.

This is TOTALLY Ryan's fault. Do the 'pubs in the HOR have the guts to admit their mistake and force him out of office?

-- When the first group sat down, Ryan should have had the Capitol police clear the floor. --

Or the body's seargent at arms. The capitol police came in this morning and asked the protesters to leave so they could do a security sweep. Pelosi told them "no," so they left.

-- No way this was not planned in advance and co-ordinated with the Dem media toadies. --

CNN is presenting a most misleading impression of their own poll, saying 90% of Republicans and 85% of DEMs favor a law that prohibits people on no-fly list from possessing firearms. That's one line in a breakout, and contradicts other Q&A in the same poll. CNN is not showing the poll, because they can't explain the internal disconnect, where 42% oppose stronger gun laws.

I think it would be the Sergeant of Arms (Paul Irving) is responsible for maintaining order in the House. He obviously failed to do his job. Surely Paul Ryan called him up and chewed him out for not doing it.

The democrats are getting bolder as bammy’s term ends. They are desperate to seize power and guns, and to establish their goal: an oppressive collectivity.

Yup

Silence = tacit consent

Leaving the field of battle concedes it to the enemy.
