Of course he is, why are you surprised? This is how politics works.

I thought we are not to re-print ANYTHING from them. To be safe, I changed even the headline.

Ryan’s desire to staff the speaker’s office with seasoned aides who are also deeply familiar with conservatism, according to people briefed on the talks.

"Deeply familiar" is not the same thing as being. Meet the new boss...

These people are all Frank Underwood types.

They have no business being anywhere near the US Treasury and positions of power.

Is anyone trying to fight it? Do we just roll over and play dead?

I took a different view of this.

Washington D.C. are NOT listening, and they are not going to listen to any of us until we do not re-elect those that are coming up for re-election; until we take back their power that they think they have...until we can get a POTUS that won't put up with this....

Right now start digging out the information on this super pac guy that is working for Paul Ryan...go back into the history of Paul Ryan and find out his voting records and bring that out...

Come on people, we on Free Republic are smart people, we have helped shut down a lot of things and a lot of people by posting what we find on here, people do read this stuff, more than just us that belong here...this stuff we post, gets around...we are good, and we are smart and we are informed...lets roll!!!

I will, that’s why I came to this thread instead of the other one, but it takes more than one person...we all need to research and post on here, even if there are duplicate posts, doesn’t matter, we are getting the word out...

Along with us doing our jobs here on Free Republic, we also need to donate to this site...where else are we going to go if we don’t have this site to get the work out on...I donate, not much, I don’t have much, but I do...we all need to help Jim keep this site up and running...$5.00; $10.00; $15.00 it all adds up!!!
