Rep. Raul Labrador (R-Idaho) said on Wednesday that it is too early to judge Paul Ryan's job as speaker of the House, but that to date, he doesn't seem any different from his predecessor Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio).

A reporter asked Labrador and others on a panel at the Conversations with Conservatives press event on Capitol Hill whether the recent drop in Ryan’s favorability rating showed that the public -- and even Congress -- is already frustrated with the new speaker’s efforts. ...

Ryan is more committed to the Cheap Labor Express than Boehner was. He’s worse.

“Ryan is more committed to the Cheap Labor Express than Boehner was. He’s worse.”

Labrador proved himself bought and paid for within weeks of getting to congress. He either hasn’t a clue what leadership is or he is only interested in going along to get along. Only time Labrador will take a stand is when it makes him look conservative, while at the same time is only a visual political stand without any actual results.

Labrador is very much a pretender.

Put a martini in his hand and I’ll declare him a clone of Boehner.

PP?
OCare?
Amnesty?
In/Ex-Bank
ANY reduction of the deficit, let alone the debt?

When you’re batting 0 for X, it’s gonna be a LONG slog to get anywhere near 1K.

IOW, he’s dead, Jim.

We need to give Ryan more time... I have a gut feeling he’ll be one of our best Speakers... (And yeah I know there’s NO proof to back up my feelings...yet)
