The funny thing about goals is many times they are not achieved, especially by politicians and particularly with Republicans on the national level.

You could have done that a long time ago if you’d had the balls to.

Boy, you guys are fast! I barely had time to make sure what I posted was correct before there were 7 replies. But you all should read what he has to say. I want to believe that I can believe.

ALTERNATIVE? You mean reviving the EXIM bank in a bill that EVERY Dem voted for and only conservatives voted against?

"Our No. 1 goal for the next year is to put together a complete alternative to the left's agenda,"

Yeah, more of the Red-on-Blue, Blue-on-Red fake wrestling paradigm, made for consumption by the plebian chumps who get exercised by these phony statements.

The Uniparty's maneuvering is pathetically transparent.

The GOP remains the enemy of the American People
as it remains the GIVE-Obama-POWER (GOP) Party
of treason, lies, and promoters of slavery, rape
and murder complicitly, every day, every hour.

Encouraging, yes. But not because Ryan is turning into the complete opposite of what he has always been (a vociferous opponent of conservatism, a shill for crony capitalists, and a silent ally of liberalism). Rather, it is because this move is probably a result of panic within the GOPe as they recognize that the base of the party, and much of the independents, are abandoning them for good. Hopefully, these types of hail mary’s by GOPe types will fail, and they will see their power shrink dramatically over the next few years.

What would be really encouraging if Ryan, and those like him, lose either their primaries, or, if necessary, their general elections. But that requires right-minded people to give up the false comfort that, for example, “Ryan is better than a democrat”, when, in the long run, that is simply not true.

I want to believe in unicorns that fart $1,000 bills. But Ryan has already surrendered.
