With this announcement representative Paul Ryan is openly announcing his intention to destroy the conservative elements within the republican party. And yet again, its doubtful anyone will try to stop him.
The president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Tom Donohue, recently announced his intentions to eliminate opposition to their progressive big government positions and destroy fiscal conservatives (Tea Party).
Tom Donohue demands: ♦ approval of the TPP trade deal, ♦ continuation of ObamaCare, ♦ comprehensive immigration reform to include amnesty, and ♦ federal education Common Core education standards.
Previously we explained how deep the tentacles of the CoC reach within the Republican party – SEE HERE.
Now today, to put the cherry on the cake, Paul Ryan announces he will appoint Chamber of Commerce Lobbyist David Hoppe as his Chief of Staff as Speaker of the House.
WASHINGTON DC – As he builds support for his bid for speaker of the House, Republican Rep. Paul Ryan has announced he will name as his top aide a longtime corporate lobbyist whose past clients have significant business before Congress.
The Washington Post reported if he wins the speaker’s job, Ryan will name as his chief of staff registered lobbyist David Hoppe, a former aide to Sens. Trent Lott and John Kyl. The announcement comes a decade after congressional Republicans’ so-called K Street Project, which sought to bring lobbyists closer to the Republican policymaking machine, resulted in federal indictments.
Federal records show since 2010, Hoppe has lobbied for major financial industry interests such as insurance giant MetLife, the National Venture Capital Association and Zurich Financial Services. He has also lobbied for investment firm BlackRock, which could be affected by efforts to change federal financial regulations and which could benefit from a recent proposal to shift military pension money into a federal savings plan managed in part by the Wall Street giant. And Hoppe has lobbied for Cayman Finance, whose business “promot[ing] the development of the Cayman Islands financial services industry” could be affected by legislation to crack down on offshore tax havens.

FUPR!!
Gee, color me surprised. NOT.
The machine continues.
Need Trump only
Indeed. No one else is up for the Herculean task.
And the horse he rode in on. Guess the conservatives got hoodwinked.
Ditto that.
Ryan can be primaried out as soon as 2016.
Unless they change the rules on that too..
Is anyone else ready to run against Paul RINO?
Boehner, the good old days.
No, there’s really no downside at all to electing lesser evils because you see, the Dem is worse!
Bhoner gone is a great thing regardless. Had we not abandoned principle yet again, Ryan would not be speaker either. Of course mental giants just HAD to elect spineless Republicans. Who then did their ‘lesser evil’ just as some of us predicted, and ...did MORE evil.
But the Dem wasn’t worse. Death from within is worse. Of course you cant tell a Cancer-vative that. They know better.
It looks more and more like the plan was to put a pro-amnesty Speaker in before Obama is out of office.
I wonder how well the GOP will do if the evil conservatives start their own party.
Personally, I am delighted that the Republican party has decided to commit suicide. It is long overdue.
If you made that up, you were brilliant.
If you stole it, you were even more brilliant.
[I wonder how well the GOP will do if the evil conservatives start their own party.]
Even the most average Freeper could be a good Speaker of the House.
