Breitbart ^ | 22 Jun 2016 | Neil W. McCabe

Posted on 06/22/2016 9:24:32 PM PDT by detective

Members of the House Republican Conference are furious at Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R.-Wis.) after they were forced to sidelines for more than nine hours while House Democrats staged a college-style sit-in in the House chamber to demand restrictions on gun rights.

“Ryan was so weak, he just let them take over,” a Capitol Hill source told Breitbart News.

Is this the same Ryan who threatened to sue Trump if he upsets the establishment apple cart? What an a**!

BFD
They voted for paul ryan Boehner against the wishes of many of their constituents.

And if they don't get rid of that rat bastard, many of them won't have their seats anymore.

This is the most bazaar episode in our nation’s history. The are conducting votes, people are giving testimony and bills are being read while these DemonRAT yahoos are chanting like 1960s hippies in a sit in. Where is the Sergeant at Arms? If I yelled out during the House business, I would be carted out to jail. A frog marching is a statement to those who would pull this stunt again.

I suspect Ryan is working behind the scenes to round up enough Republican votes to support the demands of the sit-in...And when he has them, he'll allow a vote...

Why else would he not shut it down???

If they are so livid, then why aren’t these crybabies initiating a discharge petition to get Ryan out as Speaker like they did with Crying John Boehner???

They’re using Orlando as a pretense to justify their long standing agenda.

Blaming guns for jihad attacks rather than blaming Islam makes as much sense as blaming Zyklon-B for the Holocaust rather than blaming Nazi ideology.

Maybe it is true that it is best to let them have their tantrum, however, it would be nice to have a speaker of the house who could turn the tables on the Democrats and make them look childish as they are.

Eulach of the house would be a good title for Ryan.

I know an LA City Fireman who was on 5 calls to the Meredith estate to resuce boys hidin in closets with the land line still in their terrified hands


I had a friend who was LEO in San Francisco. He always said the biggest perverts were rich people. He hated making domestic calls to wealthy areas of the city.

Oh puuuuleeeez

You asked a question to which I gave a response. To think that people check your previous posts is insane

Get over your own self

I would turn off the lights, and leave them there to play with themselves, but to conduct a meeting while they’re acting like children shows Ryan’s weakness.

maybe letting them have their little tantrum is a smart thing to do. This is so silly and it won’t change anything.

Exactly what I was thinking. Let them be the whiny brats we know they are.

And there you have the definitive descriptor for the rest of term as Speaker.

He’s a non-entity, and any Republican that still has a shred of integrity should turn their backs on him whenever he speaks.

Ryan need to lose the primary, if not primay vote democrat to remove him from senate. I think its worth losing a seat just to lose him

I have been pounding purists on his issue for some time. One junior house den poses little threat but a traitor GOP as House Speaker can do untold damage.
