Freedom Caucus Balks at Paul Ryan, Refuses to Endorse
breitbart.com ^ | 21 Oct 2015 | Matthew Boyle

Since Ryan has failed to achieve the Freedom Caucus endorsement, the question now becomes if he will stick to his promise and drop out of contention for the Speakership.

“No,” Ryan’s spokesman Brendan Buck told Breitbart News earlier on Wednesday when asked if Ryan would follow through with a Speakership bid without an official House Freedom Caucus endorsement.

RE:”Freedom Caucus Balks at Paul Ryan, Refuses to Endorse”

GOOD, I don't want to hear that ‘HE LIED TO US’ crap for another 2+ years.

Ryan says he doesn't want this job, why should they beg him to take it just to whine about being betrayed for another four years? He is very happy without this job.
I support him on this 100%. Go back Paul, you would be nuts to take this job.

FREEDOM CAUCUS, JUST SAY NO! Ryan says he will walk away without your support,

BTW : What is the talk radio plan on this? Have they a candidate who can get more than 25 house votes??

I'll concede I was dead wrong in my prediction they would fold.

I'm genuinely and pleasantly surprised.

You need to see a doctor. Quick. There's not much time.

This patriot should be the next POTUS period.

He has the highest moral character, a deep and ready knowledge of World and American history, the principles behind the original Ammendments within our Constitution, and is the most powerful statesmen and Christian patriot today.

Give him a real stage, and watch.

While not taking anything away from any true conservative presidential candidate, no one today comes remotely close.

He is not simply being ignored.

The GOPe and media have been squarely and overtly behind the attempts to keep him from getting political traction, locally and thereby nationally.

Both CNN and Bloomberg were mocking the Freedom Caucus mercilessly today.

The Female talking head on Bloomberg even went so far as to say that the “Constitution should change with the times”, and cut off the guest when he tried to defend the Constitution.

“Ryan is the best thing that has happened to the Republican party since Reagan.....to hell with the freedom nitwits.”

You are either a dem or establishment GOP. So you are for open borders and increased immigration at a time when our own people can’t find jobs. Aren’t you special in that slow in the head kind of way. You may even have a splash of liberal in you.

You really should get some help for that before it gets worse.

[Your Freedom Caucus quote]

....We all know that Washington needs to change the way it does business, ....

Yeah. "We need a Junta leader, a generalissimo, who will throw down the Tea Party on their faces, put his boot on their necks, and dictate the new consensus to them over the barrel of his pistol."

I don’t understand. You knock Boehner out why do you go for his “butt boy”?

Ryan is more liberal than the dude he is replacing. Ugh! He is probably MORE of a compromiser.

“A supermajority of the House Freedom Caucus has voted to support Paul Ryan’s bid to become the next Speaker of the House,” the House Freedom Caucus said in a statement....."

NJ 3 Tom MacArthur(CR=50) - member of Freedom Caucus - as of 10AM Thursday - his staff claims they have no idea of MacArthur's position. They report he has not stated his support for or opposition to Ryan's demands.

What is the "CR=50" thing? That like an ACU rating? (Recognizing that there are problems with ACU ratings .... now that congresscritters have learned how to game their ratings with lots of insignificant "procedural" votes that allow them to mislead their constituents...)

Saying he doesn’t want the job is part of the scam of getting the position.

"Not? "

I'm usually not wrong in predicting perfidy in the GOP...and I guess my record holds.

But I take no joy in it.
