WHO CARES what Paul Ryan wants!?!! He is one person, and shouldn’t be able to dictate to the House Republicans what should happen.

[Alter Kaker]

Ryan is the Budget Committee chairman and a close ally of Boehner’s. That’s why this matters.

[Timber Rattler]

The thing is that Ryan's "turn" here is clearly being orchestrated by Boehner, Cantor, and McCarthy in order to try and undermine the House TEA Party members, with the thinking being that Ryan somehow still carries weight with the national TEA Party movement at large.

In short, they're now using Ryan to do their dirty work on Obamacrae/debt ceiling just like McCain-Schumer used Rubio to do theirs on immigration.
