I think it is now safe to say that Paul Ryan is no longer a conservative Republican, nor is he pro-American for that matter. Keep in mind that Paul Ryan’s contributions come largely from outside of his own district. Currently some 80% plus of all of Ryan’s contributions to his re-election campaign come from OUTSIDE of his own 1st District of Wisconsin. Stunningly, around 65% of Ryan’s contributions come from WITHIN the beltway of Washington, D.C.
Pondering this statistic, one has to ask themselves, “so who is it that is donating so heavily to Paul Ryan and then why are they donating so heavily“? As my grandfather used to say, if it walks like a duck, looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it ain’t a goose. The bottom line is, Ryan is being “paid off” with large campaign contributions by lobbyist, Super-PAC’s and special interest groups for his support of selling out his own district.
Basically, it works like this. I own a major corporation. I want to increase profits. I spread some “payola” around Capitol Hill, get myself a sweetheart tax deal done with deductions for relocating to “some nation I cannot even pronounce” then relocate. I used to pay $25 an hour labor rate here in Kentucky and Iowa, now I pay $2 a day in Thailand. My profits soar, I get tax deductions and my stockholders are elated. Oh, and I don’t have to pay Obamacare either.

If true; that's seriously unfortunate. Of all congress critters; Lyin' Ryan is first in line of the corrupt, bought and paid for, of many of them. All self-serving with very little integrity, if any, left among them.
Sad. How did it come to this? Rhetorical of course. Money and greed of course; just like always.
Paul Ryan is one of the most sensible, and consistent, conservatives in DC. The fact that so many of you have convinced yourselves that he’s the devil is pathetic.
Paul Ryan worked hard with Senator Patty Murray, a Democrat, to try to take money from military retirement and give it to the Democrats to buy votes with.
Ryan is a traitor to Conservatives.
I made the mistake of contributing to what I thought was the RNC fund to retain R control in Congress. My donation was piped directly to the re-election campaign of Ryan. When is Trump going to put people in place in the RNC to clean up this corruption?
Munster reruns must do well up there too.
I’m praying as hard as I can for the people of his district to open their eyes and see that he has been working against their interests and to Cantorize him as we Cantorized our weasel, Eric Cantor.
All of the multi-national politicians must be removed from office if we are to keep our country.
We must do it before they give it away.
I’ve been following the Nehlen naysayers on some of. these threads-—an awful lot of them joined FR in 1998! I’ve wondered many times in the past few years if old accounts here on FR could be hacked...they have the same line, “Give up! The all powerful Ryan, who couldn’t deal with the idiotic Biden, who is beholden to his heiress wife, who can’t refuse a terrorist free passage into the US...is undefeatabke in a blue state primary”.
Then they have been coopted, because if they were true TEA party they would be leading the effort to Cantorize their weasel.
You forgot the "/s" tag...or you're just another insanely stupid RINO/Socialist who is unable to intellectually grasp reality.
I don’t put anything past people who make money from politics.
Our weasel was Majority Leader and we didn’t care because he was about to betray us and pass Rubio’s amnesty.
Our district Cantorizing our weasel saved the country from amnesty.
Throwing Ryan out is necessary to prevent another attempt at betrayal.
That’s what the Brits said when asked stay/leave EU. Subsequently, the vote, the verdict, the ‘Ta Ta’ to establishment big wigged gasbags,causing exploding heads across the land.
That said, Lyn’ Ryan’ constituents sport a feather in their hat knowing ‘their won’ is sitting in the important chair. To bring in another who would find it necessary to start from scratch completely turns them off. They believe in power over Nation. Wisconsin teaches Common Core which lacks in National Pride, ethics, and Civics.
Americans have been beaten so severely, so often in past decades most no longer have the ability to see due to their swollen eyes; no longer have ability to think clearly due to the jabs against their noggins’
Delusional, uninformed or propagandist?
Other Speakers have fallen. He is not invincible, even if he thinks he is.
That is an interesting hypothesis. I have seen a lot of GOPe supporters among the older accounts, many of which I don’t remember seeing before. I was wondering how they could have been here all this time and still feel that way. I think if you check these accounts and find that they went dark for a long time and then suddenly reappeared to post here, your theory would make a lot of sense. Maybe you should ping Jim Thompson and ask him to check histories on some of them.
there is no true tea party
there is no tea party. it is but a memory
Obama destroyed it and there was no whimper
I love that so much I’m stealing it for my tag line.
Paul Ryan recently SEEMED to come down on the side of the Second Amendment when he declined to allow a vote on 4 post ORLANDO gun restriction bills. Well, good for him.
But in my alleged mind, that begs this question: What kept Ryan and his majority GOP members in the House from moving to stop Obama’s serial EXTRA-CONSTITUTIONAL activities YEARS AGO? Aren’t those activities – one of which is the importation and TAXPAYER FUNDED FORCED SETTLEMENT of thousands of UNVETTED REFUGEES (INVADERS!) – largely responsible for the heightened interest in FIREARMS by those LEGAL CITIZENS who understand that even the Obama’s security people tell us will be RADICAL MUSLIM KILLERS?
Then there’s the growing concern that – as some wags have put it – the Obama administration is PRECISELY the government the Founding Fathers feared and prompted them to leave us the Second Amendment.
Would it not have been far better to have put an end to Obama’s abuses of the rule of law by SHUTTING OFF THE FUNDS financing those activities?
Many of us out here in “FLYOVER COUNTRY” now believe that the GOP controlled Congress failed to stop Obama then because they were terrified that the 15% blacks in the country would view that as “racism” and become a solid voting bloc for the Democrats. Flash for Ryan: THEY ALREADY ARE because the Democrats and their “free stuff” chained most of America’s blacks on the welfare plantation starting with FDR!
Perhaps Ryan and the boys were fearful that blacks would riot if “THEIR GUY” was challenged? Another flash for Ryan. They already do now at the drop of hat. At 15% of the population, I think it’s safe to say the outcome of that “problem” is a no brainer.
So here we now find ourselves with the Constitution essentially in tatters and millions of ordinary and formerly unworried citizens arming themselves against the activities of Obama’s rogue administration and the army of UNVETTED invaders it has brought to our shores.
I ask again: Would it not have been far better for Boehner, McConnell and now Ryan to have halted this now out-of-control incipient DESPOT BEFORE we arrived at this sad and very dangerous place?
And if you don’t “get” the ongoing and growing support for Donald Trump, go back and read this until you do!
We still have active TEA parties here in Virginia, guess that’s why we are cleaning House and the rest are re-electing weasels.
A separate article noted that Ryan was initially against the Puerto Rico bailout, until he had a meeting with reps from Wall Street, when he reversed. He was, coincidentally, showered with loads of money, from...who knows, right?
