"When you conservatives are tired of getting audited by McCain
and sold out by Boehner and McConnell,
just vote for me. You'll get at least what I promise."
Just remember that Obama likes Paul Ryan...

His opening play was to lie about being involved in the new break the bank debt ceiling without a ceiling.
That would sure change my mind if I’d been wondering.
While Paul Ryan is not my favorite choice, he is a very smart career politician. Hopefully smart enough to realize that if he caters to only the old-guard he will be shown the door like his predecessor.
Again, Ryan is smart and ambitious, so he may help change the party for the better. I won't hold my breath, he has maybe 100 to 150 days to show he has the right stuff.
Has time been scheduled for when the poor overworked “Speaker to be” gets to spend time with his wife and kids yet?
But hey, the demonrats who just LOVE him will put him over the top...yay.
Bummer...
The budget deal is killing Ryan. It isn’t Boehner’s deal, but Ryan’s. Unless Ryan shows more mettle, the GOP is costing itself the high ground.
No to Ryan, we need to call now to ensure he doesn’t make it 202-224-3121
Obvious Kabuki/Pressure relief is obvious.
He will get at least 100 Democrat votes.
This is a done deal. If it’s not him, it will be Steny Hoyer.
If you're going to be a whore for the CoC, at least try to be less obvious and shameless about it.
Boyle is often full of shiite. Expect Ryan to clear 218 tomorrow
WHIP HIS ASS. Get on the phone like I have been screaming at my congressman. NO RYno!!
It is believed that more than half the GOPers who did not vote for Ryan on the nomination, are not among the 40+ most conservative members and are likely to vote for Ryan when the nomination is put before the House.
Dear WSJ Editors:
Obama’s full budget was passed by all House Democrats, supported by just enough of the Republican “Leadership” including Ryan and Boehner, with the approval of Paul Gigot’s Wall Street Journal Editorial Page, and in spite of the opposition of the vast majority of the Republican caucus and every conservative of note.
Nobody has credibly claimed that conservatism won anything, so this is not compromise. Republican “Leadership” did not complain that they were forced, so this is not even capitulation.
The masks are off at the Halloween Ball, and approving all of Obama’s budget demonstrates that Obama, Boehner, Ryan and Gigot are all leaders of the pro-government liberal Uniparty.
Well. Now PAul Ryan is speaker.
