Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan defended conservative advocacy groups as an "indispensable" part of the GOP coalition after Speaker John Boehner had lashed out at those same groups for opposing a bipartisan budget framework that Ryan had helped author.

“I think these are very important elements of our conservative family,” he told Meet the Press moderator David Gregory in an interview airing on Sunday. “I would prefer to keep those conversations within the family.”

Add Ryan to the unemployment line. The message that resonates.

Cannot play nice with the enemy..............ever!

Ryan = toast

[fatnotlazy]

Ryan could have been a presidential contender. He betrayed conservatives who embraced him. Hope he enjoys those 30 pieces of silver because his career is finished.

[skeeter]

Conservative family my arse. Your boss speaks for all of you phonies.

[Gaffer]

He can just s@ck it.

Cannot play nice with the enemy...ever.

They all play for the same team just different squads. Ryan is always on the defense. Break the oligarchy, serve up plenty of TEA.

I don’t know what happened to Ryan. I had always thought he was the 2nd coming of Jack Kemp.

[WilliamRobert]

Kemp was a.numbers and policy wonk, a moderate with traditional values.

No amnesty.

Stop deficit spending.

Defund 0bamaCare.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I got my “registered survey” from the National Republican Congressional Committee today. ROTFL! Talk about bad timing.

[mulligan]

Paul Ryan is just another political hack who is more interested in power, perks and prestige and to hell with America and Americans.

[gaijin]

Dirty Abercrombie homo...

[Paladin2]

Is Ryan likely to see primary competition?

This bastard cut benefits to veterans to increase democrat constituent spending. He’s a liar just like Obama and can kiss my ass.
