PR jumped the shark at least a year ago.

No, Paul Ryan has deserted the tea party by his words and actions.

Let Paul Ryan do some more ass-kissing to Karl Rove and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce traitors ...

That’s what the left does.

They have embraced doublethink whole-heartedly. Next, Common Core will teach that 2 + 2 = 5.

When was Paul Ryan a part of the Tea Party? I think he blew that ticket right out of the box even before he was a VP candidate when he put forward his fantasy Economic program.

Paul Ryan is one of my worst disappointments in the 20 years I’ve been a political junkie.

Paul Ryan was never part of tea party. More of a numbers wonk. As for Kibbe, he comes off as a weirdo. I have personally had it with these tea party “leaders” who are pocketing big coin as a self appointed spox for TP.

Ryan was never Tea Party, he’s always been a fake “conservative” reformer, but if one has been paying attn. and actually looked at his vote. It’s been by an large establishment-RINO, liberal with a smattering of conservative covered by a mass media GOPe propaganda machine!
