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."

Paul Ryan’s word is not worth the air he used to give it. He is a liar and a cheat ... Once a liar, always a liar. I would not trust his word if God Himself vouched for the RINO bastard. FK Paul Ryan, and the whore he rode in on!

Oh, you did not get the letter? He wants to “unify” Mexico and the United States - AZTLAN RULES - and Ryan is their king. I’ll wager he sucks dick.

Rifles - and lots of ammo downrange - is the only thing that will “fix” the Washington problem ... A second civil war is not far off.

I’ve got news for you friend

That is almost precisely what Paul Ryan said

And it’s what I heard plenty Catholics here say about immigration during the big fights we had here over it 10 years ago when being anti amnesty could get you called racist or zotted

The rest of your post is just you Catholic victim projecting on me

Save it

Exactly waht of my remarks did Ryan say? I am against illegal immigration, and have always been so.

I’ve been here for a hell of a lot longer than 10 years (date of sign up on FR does not necessarily reflect one’s date of interest in FR!) NEVER have I read anything that proved the majority of FReepers being for amnesty - and NEVER have I witnessed any FReeper “zoted” for opposing amnesty.

WTF are you talking about “projecting” - I did not accuse you or anything!

Me thinks you are just a bigot who is full of sh*t.

It’s called psy-ops, what Reid wants is exactly this, conservative people upset.

***Ryan loves illegals cause most are Catholics like him and it’s good works to his foolish ass***

Please don’t link all Catholics to this jerk.

Who said I did link ALL Catholics

Matt Bracken is Catholic as is Onyx....I doubt they think like Ryan

Seems to me some Catholics here don’t want repeated what Paul Ryan said about Catholicism influencing his amnesty push period

Like ignore it even though he said it and joined the Eightballs and is soon to be speaker

If it’s that big a part of his faith then he won’t ignore it and he and Luis Gutierrez will be pards again

But I will tell you dear

I’ve been here 15 years and what Ryan said I’ve heard before right here over and over especially back during the amnesty battles here 10 years ago

Back when charges of racism and chorus calls for zots were a cacophony if you opposed Bush’s amnesty

It’s the truth

The truth is what it is

I lived it and got punished for it

I THINK WE NEED TO SUPPORT ONE OF THE FIVE MEMBERS WHO ACTUALLY STOOD UP TO BOEHNER ON THE MOTION TO VACATE THE SPEAKER, NOT PEOPLE WHO TELL US THEY ARE CONSERVATIVE AND MAKE NOISE IN THE MEDIA.

CONGRESSMAN THOMAS MASSIE OF KENTUCKY IS ONE OF THE FEW WHO MEAN IT IN WASHINGTON.

HE’S MY NOMINEE FOR SPEAKER BECAUSE HE IS ONE WHO MEANS IT ABOUT BEING CONSERVATIVE AND HAS BRAVELY PUT HIS MONEY WHERE HIS MOUTH IS.

I am not familiar with Massie, but I am glad to read that KY has at least one good politician.

It was always a done deal. The rest has been a poor acting job by Ryan and a terrible smokescreen production by the GOPe.

Disabled Veterans had their pensions cut by the Ryan/Murray behind closed doors budget "agreement" that Ryan personally authored in December 2013


Paul Ryan supports welfare to illegal invaders, and preferred to cut disabled veteran pensions instead of eliminating EITC fraud to the tune of $30 Billion per year for "Dreamers"
