"When I began entering into the give and take of legislative bargaining in Sacramento, a lot of the most radical conservatives who had supported me during the election didn't like it. "Compromise" was a dirty word to them and they wouldn't face the fact that we couldn't get all of what we wanted today. They wanted all or nothing and they wanted it all at once. If you don't get it all, some said, don't take anything. I'd learned while negotiating union contracts that you seldom got everything you asked for. And I agreed with FDR, who said in 1933: 'I have no expectations of making a hit every time I come to bat. What I seek is the highest possible batting average.' If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that's what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it." - Ronald Reagan, An American Life
“Ryan helped push the best deal we could get and kept us alive to fight another day.”

Hey imbecil; this deal is one of the reasons our credit score was lowered! It did nothing to fix the problem! Good grief...you and Laura Ingraham cannot be this stupid!
As much as I admire Reagan, you have to admit all we’ve done for the 100 years is compromise with progressives, statists, leftists, marxists, social democrats — you name it. And look where we are today. Frankly, compromise has totally failed us. They have gotten everything they want right up the the demise of America. One more “compromise” and the whole nation is lost.
No thanks. For all his budget cutting talk, Ryan appears to be a business as usual kick the can down the road RINO. These guys are not grasping the anger of we the people. We want action against the spending and we want it now!! Not empty promises. These guys failed in their fiduciary duty to HOLD THE LINE!!
Trillions! TRILLIONS!! This is unmitigated mind-boggling bullshit!!
And the idiotic Super Congress diluting our tea party representation is nothing less than treason!! Tyranny!! Stupidity!!
Taxation without representation!!
McConnell, Boehner, Ryan, et al, should be tossed out on their backstabbing backsides!!
They joined the treasonous democrats in plunging us trillions of dollars deeper into bankrupting debt when all they had to do was vote no and HOLD THE LINE!!
Ryan for president? That’s a freaking JOKE!! He can KMA!!
Rebellion is brewing!!
DON’T TREAD ON ME!!
The Commie model three steps forward and one step back, it is not possible to fix that with half measures. We have compromised ourselves into a Marxist dream team.
