Ryan is not much of a help for the cause.

This guy has become such a liberal jerk. Years ago, he seemed like one of the best.

We're going to fund all the government except for the immigration stuff,

Including Obamacare.

Bad idea GOP.

When I see Paul Ryan today I’m thinking of the phrase, “Let’s reach across the aisle.” He reeks of bipartisanship.

The only “work” I want to see Congress doing — is to systematically dismantle the numerous extra-Constitutional Federal bureaucracies.

Yippee—SURRENDER before you’re even sworn-in to your new job.

That’s “forward thinking”

He talked a good story until the 2010 election was over.

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), soon to be chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee...

That is going to work out well, I'm sure.

Top priority for the new GOP Congress is to find their spine, guts, and gonads. Gonna be a tough job. Second priority is to demand that Boehner and McConnell step down due to their lack of spine, guts, and gonads.

The Republicans were elected to stop Obama. If they become “potted plants” and do nothing, they will lose their base.

” We avoid it by defeating them with better ideas. “

“It” being a government shut down, and “better ideas” incorporates Obama’s amnesty.

Paul Ryan thinks Republicans can pass measure to finish border fence with a veto proof majority.

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.

--and if the border fence is anything like originally proposed (full of pork barrel electronic gadgets , etc., ) it will be like all fences--a challenge--

--IMHO, what will stop illegal immigration are: criminal charges for illegal border crossers and more importantly, criminal penalties and stiff jail sentences for any employer hiring them--the "employer" goes to jail , simultaneous with the bankruptcy of their company---

--I can dream , can't I?
