Paul Ryan Officially Running for Speaker
CNN ^ | Thursday, October 22, 2015 | Deirdre Walsh and Jeremy Diamond

Posted on 10/22/2015 4:53:57 PM PDT by kristinn

Rep. Paul Ryan announced Thursday that he is officially running for speaker of the House, and he is likely to be elected next week.

"I never thought I'd be speaker," Ryan said in a statement. "But I pledged to you that if I could be a unifying figure, then I would serve -- I would go all in. After talking with so many of you, and hearing your words of encouragement, I believe we are ready to move forward as a one, united team. And I am ready and eager to be our speaker."

The SOTH is third in line for the Presidency and he wants to take the process of vacating the chair off the table.

Think about it.

Another thing Rush said was that the conservative group didn’t really care what Boehner’s position on issues was. They were upset because he was being a heavy-handed leader/tyrant.

Mia Love is our Rep. in my district in Utah, and once she tasted the kool aid, she won’t get my vote again...there are some upset people in this country right now, and if these House and Senate people don’t open their eyes they are going to be staying home...

Jean Schmidt was much better. She was deceived by her own party when she lost to Wenstrup. They actually lied to her about the polling.

Process, policy, and appointments- that’s what matters.
And process and appointments determine policy!

It doesn’t seem to me the conservatives are getting enough but I don’t fault their goals. I just hope they get more.

We will have to force a change - congressmen obviously don’t have the fortitude to finish what they started. Or they never planned to.

Ok, back to googling how to build a guillotine..

I heard that and was amazed. Not by what he said, but that he said it. he’s come a long way from carrying W’s water.

He may be the one to start the revolution after all. Rush Revere may be mire than about children’s books.

http://www.politico.com/story/2015/10/ryan-concessions-freedom-caucus-215075
“The Wisconsin Republican, now the presumptive next speaker of the House, delivered the message to Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, the chairman of the Freedom Caucus, according to multiple sources familiar with the discussion. Possible changes to the so-called “motion to vacate” will now come as part of a larger discussion of reworking internal party and House rules. Should he become House speaker, Ryan will set a deadline by which the House Republican Conference will change chamber and party rules. “

Sounds awful: he’s not agreeing to anything but a ‘discussion’.
(but of course POLITICO is garbage)

The GOP is the party of CHEAP WHORES, FAGGOTY BUTT PIRATES and COWARDLY QUISLINGS ... Most of them are not worth a bucket of horse piss, ESPECIALLY Paul Ryan - a lying, two-faced, amnesty-hawking water boy for the Chamber of Commerce, more accurately called the Chamber of Communists.

I got news for you, friend - I’m a traditional CATHOLIC - and I despise these bastards, and I shoot an invading interloper point blank in the face with a 45 HP as much as to look at him or her, or whatever ... I’m married to a Peruvian - who came here LEGALLY, and became a American citizen, LEGALLY.

So don’t go painting Catholics as being in sort of love fest for illegal aliens ... Just because the Church has been invaded by a cabal of Marxist sodomites, and those reprobates stuck us with a half-wit Marxist fag lover for a “Pope,” does not mean every Catholic agrees with those assholes.
