Exactly

Any “conservative” that would run with Romney is a sellout megalomaniac.

No GOP House member is safe from a primary, in fact the more conservative the district the greater the chance that the sellout incumbent will get the heave ho.

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.

I wonder if he even knew what he approved.

Evidently, the Murray-Ryan bill is several hundred pages and this detail was buried in the small print.

In the Ryan-Murray bill, the change is found on 17-18 in the legislative text, where the bill sets up a “deficit neutral reserve fund” and incorporates 57 individual sections of the Senate Democrats’ budget as having “force and effect.” 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.

That's not an excuse, of course. But it dramatizes that the 'Rats will do anything and everything to secure an advantage, while the Repubs simply aren't paying attention and don't seem to realize they're in a fight to the death.

He’s not naïve. He’s one of them, not one of us.

Republican voters have two groups fighting against them.
(1) the Democratic Party Leadership
(2) the Republican Party Leadership

The Dem Leader trash the Repub base.
The Repub Leaders trash the Repub base.

Anyone see the problem here for the Repub Party?

You can never trust a TARPer.

Yeah. Makes you wonder who Ryan (and Boehner) are really working for, and what their agenda is.

He was supposedly to be one of the great hopes to represent conservative ideology. Instead he is at the forefront of selling out conservativism.

Nah, he's been taken up on the mountain and shown the sunny uplands open to him if he agrees to become Our Boy.

Same old deal Jesus was offered.

From the article: “House Republicans would never approve a tax increase.”

I gotta thank them for the belly laugh. Yeah. Suuuure they wouldn’t. Just like they wouldn’t play duck and cover for deathcare.

“Then ask for them to vote for you.”

And watch against all logic or common sense as they continue to do so...because the ‘rats are oh so much worse.

They are trying to rush this stuff through now because they realize that 2014 will be a disaster for then liberals. Immigration “reform” is already dead.

With 2014, people will start to think about the elections, and also ObamaCare will be kicking in. The Liberals will be running for cover. Their best hope is to push through legislation before the end of the year.
