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.

I resent Ryan for the same reason I resent Marco Rubio - he thinks we’re stupid and can be lulled with RINO bulls*t sprinkled with a little Reaganism thrown in here and there.

The idiot can’t understand that proposing alternatives means ceding the concept that government must do something.

Fricking statist anal orifice!

Considering the #1 goal for this year has been to rubber-stamp it, I won’t hold my breath.

Either his testicles finally descended or he’s trying to pull one over on the base.

Past experience makes me lean towards the latter.

The 2012 election taught me that.

Paul Ryan personally wrote language in the December 2013 "Budget Deal" with Sen Murray (D-WA) that cut all veteran pensions, including those of combat veterans who had their limbs blown off. This is not an exaggeration. It is fact. Even when confronted with this outrageous behavior on his part, Ryan gave veterans the finger.

It was only after massive public outrage that the legislation was changed, and even then, Ryan gave veterans (including disabled veterans) the back of his hand with his spit.

Paul Ryan will forever be known as a traitor to veterans who carried the burden of this nation. He has never apologized for what he did. Moreover, the money he wanted to "save" was a budgetary pittance in comparison to Federal spending. It would have saved $6 Billion over Ten Years! For a government that spends that per day!

What the hell?

I still don't understand it. And he wants my support? And the Republicans in the House elected him Speaker?

And that, my friends, is how the Nazis took over Germany: when they want to believe, they’ll fall for anything.

"We can do socialism better than Obama!"

The unstated motto of today's Republican Party.

And they're dumbfounded as to why we refuse to support them.

Hey Paul. When a person is known to have lied even one time, you never know when s/he’s not lying
