Lindsey Graham: Paul Ryan Is Presidential Material(backstabbers alert)
Brietbart ^ | 16 Dec 2013 | Mathew Boyle

Posted on 12/16/2013 12:27:05 PM PST by amnestynone

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said he thinks that House Budget Committee chairman Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) is presidential material because of his work on the spending deal he cut with Senate Budget Committee chairwoman Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA). “From my point of view, he's showing leadership," Graham said, according to the Huffington Post. “I mean, if you want to become president, maybe instead of trying to please every faction of your party, maybe you should show the country as a whole I can actually work with the other side on something important.” Huffington Post noted that Graham “added with a laugh” that he thinks “it's a unique way to become president, but I think it might actually work.” Ryan was the vice presidential nominee in last year’s failed bid by Mitt Romney to unseat incumbent President Barack Obama. He, like Graham, supports granting amnesty to America’s at least 11 million illegal aliens--a position that has the ability to undercut any GOP politician’s support from the base, as polls show it did to Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL). Ryan is expected to attempt to champion an amnesty plan through the House in early 2014.

I heard talk show host Bill Cunningham last night endorse Ryan’s budget. Turned off the radio.

“Reason number 52 why we need a new second party.”
*****************************************************************
Which is why we MUST continue with the Tea Party takeover of the Republican party. The GOPe currently running the party see the writing on the wall and are fighting back against the true conservatives such as Ted Cruz. Don’t get discouraged; we’re on our way to achieving that objective if we do not falter.

Is this the same Paul Ryan who couldn’t even hold his own in the debate with crazy Joe Biden??? Ryan is a loser, the son of Boehner.

Well, you do your thing and I’ll do mine. For the current (2014) cycle, I’m supporting the Senates Conservative Fund and individual CONSERVATIVE candidates running in the primaries and will support CONSERVATIVE candidates in the general. 2014 can be a VERY good year for conservative Republicans if we keep up our efforts. I, of course, am not counting on you to be among those fighting this fight.

And, by the way, Christie will not be the 2016 candidate if I can help it.

I am fighting for conservative causes by not giving money to the GOP or any official which shares funds with moderates or liberals.

Looking for leadership on a new party to super cede the GOP.

So you’re right. Do what you have always done and get what you’ve always got.
