Ryan Deal Limits Senate GOP’s Power to Block Tax Increases

National Review ^ | 12/11/13 | Jonathan Strong

[Theoria]

You can never trust a TARPer.

This is the other side of the coin. The tax increases that WILL come to pay for this spending.

In 2008, we had a terrible presidential candidate, but at least we had a real Conservative running as veep.

In 2012, both the top and the bottom of the ticket were Big Government losers.

By all rights, 2014 should be a big -- big -- year for the GOP. But why bother? I'll do my bit in the primaries, but when Nov comes around, I will not be supporting any Liberals, even if they are "the lesser of two evils".

Ryan is a tool hungry for attention. He’d serve anyone willing to stroke his ego and satisfy his desire to author the greatest economic plan ever known to mankind.

RE :”The process is quite complicated, but in practice it grants Harry Reid the authority to send tax increases to the House with a bare majority, rather than the 60 vote threshold that would be required under the point of order.
The provision has angered key Republican Senators. Reeling from Harry Reid’s unprecedented use of the “nuclear option” to end the filibuster on presidential nominations, they are incredulous that Paul Ryan would have backed another limit to their power. “

Maybe the GOP should take the Senate back 2015 and change the rules to pass tax CUTS on a simple majority.

Not much is passing in House after this.

[Venturer]

I am beginning to build a real dislike for Ryan.

He appears to be selling us out a little at a time.

Of course I wouldn’t trust pat Murray as far as I could toss her.

[VRWC For Truth]

100% sellout.

[I got the rope]

Obama must have some kind of juicy file on Ryan. He’s turned into a Fabian stooge.

[GeronL]

The “deal” includes tax hikes, like a 124% security “fee” on airline tickets

[Mad Dawgg]

"I will not be supporting any Liberals, even if they are "the lesser of two evils"."

WORD!

If they want me to vote for evil then I will do it right!

[Mount Athos]

That’s what I’m thinking.

The deal is a total betrayal, and doesn’t even show the slightest hint of conservative principle.

[sheana]

How is it that Harry Reid would be sending tax increases to the House anyway. All revenues are supposed to start in the House.
Gawk I wish someone thought it mattered!

[aMorePerfectUnion]

Ryan is naive.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Getting your clock cleaned by somebody like Rimshot Joe Biden during a debate would really mess up your brain. Ryan seems to have never recovered.

[Paladin2]

Ryan has been proven to be retarded.

Let the TEA Party primary him.

When Dems passed the seatbelt law here they promised not to let the police pull people over for it.

Well 15 years later they bought police night vision to catch us not wearing them in the dark.

[riri]

Yeah, that was our first clue.

[VerySadAmerican]

Ryan isn’t stupid. He’s a fraud.

[Secret Agent Man]

he was already dead to me, he can’t be any more dead.
