Wisconsin Republican Rep. Paul Ryan was elected on Thursday to serve as the next speaker of the House — a vote that followed weeks of uncertainty and came on the heels of the House passage of a sweeping two-year bipartisan budget deal.
Ryan is expected to call for a renewed effort to make the House function as a great deliberative body again. And he asked members to put the concerns of working families front and center.
"We have nothing to fear from honest differences honestly stated," Ryan was expected to say in prepared remarks. "If you have ideas, let's hear them. A greater clarity between us can lead to a greater charity among us."
Ryan is also expected to underscore the need for a larger vision behind the House's day-to-day work and called for all members to rise to the occasion.
Ryan was officially nominated for Speaker of the House by GOP Conference Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers. His family was seated in the House Chamber in the "Executive Gallery" which is where the First Lady sits during the State of The Union.

Establishment Elitists are my greatest enemy.
And they are in both parties.
THE DEATH OF THE ELITIST REPUBLICAN PARTY CANNOT HAPPEN SOON ENOUGH>
Okay I'll bite. Ditch the Mitch.
So what part of ‘Velvet Coup’ and ‘Fundamental Transformation’ did we fail to comprehend?
Just wait until we discover that the Ruling Class decides who the ‘nominees’ for elections are going to be - and then miraculously find that their ‘chosen’ is the next Dictator to hold office.
I have come to the exact same conclusion.
Once again an olive branch is offered and as sure I am sitting here..it will be broken and thrown back at us
> We have nothing to fear from honest differences honestly stated,”
Is he channeling W.Wilson?
Absolutely. CLEARLY they did not get the memo. They all need to be voted out of office.
Agreed!!!!!!!!
The fusion of Business/media/political interests in DC is now complete. The supposed divide between GOP/Dem is just a convent myth to keep the masses mindlessly cheering for "their team" while the Establishment pigs line up at the tax money trough.
All the supposed fights between the GOP and the Dems in DC are about is which pig gets which seat at the trough.
Those who give $$ to the GOP effing E need to have their heads examined. Seriously.
Ryan engineered the passage of 0bama’s full budget YESTERDAY!
meet the new boss, same as the old boss
We must first defeat the Near Enemy before we can even engage the Far Enemy.
DEATH TO THE GOPE!
Ryan got the votes, he deserves a chance to lead. I wish him well.
The ballot box is not going to stop this oligarchy and their tyranny.
We’re fools to continue thinking it will.
Because while we sit here arguing about the merits of having Conservative representatives, the entirety of Mordor on the Potomac is busy REPLACING the current citizenry with Mexicans, Guatamalans, Somalis, third world illiterates and Syrian Muslim men (aka: refugees), who will be given voting rights as soon as it can be arranged.
You cannot stop tyranny via civil means.
And the entire Beast in Washington D.C. does not fear We The People.
Listen to the new BS, same as the old BS.
Leni
amen.....
and further, there were no other viable candidates
Used to be known as Fascism. A model the Mussolini established that FDR himself was smitten with and wanted implemented here.
Just took 80 years.
