Gowdy to nominate Ryan for Speaker: report

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) plans on nominating Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) as the next Speaker of the House, a new report says.

Gowdy will speak on behalf of Ryan to the House GOP conference Wednesday, according to CNN.

Reps. Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) and Kristi Noem (R-S.D.) are also delivering speeches backing Ryan. Ryan will be the heavy favorite when the House GOP votes Wednesday on a nominee for Speaker. Rep. Daniel Webster (R-Fla.) remains Ryan's on competition.

Wednesday’s winner will face a vote of approval from the full House chamber Thursday.

The victor will replace Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) following his departure from Congress at week’s end.

“How are Trump and Ryan going to work together when this topic comes up, as Ryan is totally pro-immigration and Trump is just the opposite. Will be interesting to see what happens.”

Obama has already paved that road. With immigration, the president is emperor. He can do what he likes.

Now we know what all the tough talk was all about at the
Hillary trial. He gussied himself up good so he can show
cred when he stabs conservatives in the back with this.
What a fraud.

"so you’re saying having the biggest BMW plant in the world in Greenville SC is a bad thing for America? Please, splain that......"

It is their influence (money) that buys the allegiance of politicians, thus diminishing the will of the voters who put them in office. At the risk of FR flame, I for one believe that the Citizens United USSC decision codified corporate political dominance.

Did Gowdy say he is supporting Bush? All I see is he was invited to attend the Tim Scott Town Hall meeting in which Bush also was invited.

http://www.timstownhalls.com/candidate-event-schedule/

“Tim knows that the best way for the people of South Carolina to make their decision during the 2016 Republican Presidential Primary is to hear directly from the candidates themselves. Tim’s Town Halls provide the opportunity for South Carolinians to look candidates in the eye, shake their hand, and make a choice free of polls or that week’s hot name in the media.”

Never understood all the support for Gowdy. He is and always has been a sellout to the establishment. His little farce of a committee was always in place to advance the narrative that the GOPe was doing something about Benghazi when in fact they were doing nothing and had no intention of doing anything. It really is depressing. We just go from one RINO to the next. All theater to keep the conservatives thinking they are on our side when they do everything to screw us every day.

Exactly, but the ones who are not as bold will show themselves during the votes...

The pressure is on....

All the sifting makes old deals dead and new ones in negotiation

Turbulence in DC like never before, hold on tight...

“Obama and his ilk using the US military as a socialist engineering Department for their ass bandits, transgendered queers, and community organizing; tying the hands of our soldiers so they cannot fight in a combat zone without first getting permission from on high Obama.”

The miliary higher ups (those with an upcoming pension of $10-18000 per month, have sat on their hands and said nothing while our country is destroyed. I’m speaking of the high level officers, not the troops.

The Establishment GOP leaders are more evil than Obama, because they know the evil they are doing, and don’t care.

“What’s going to be interesting is that Ryan has pledged to not bring up an immigration bill while Obama is still in office.”

This means NOTHING! For months, I have been stating that Obama will do a Saddam-like “scorched earth move, 6 to 8 months before he leaves. All Ryan has to do is sit on his hands, while Obama floods the country with 500,000 Muzzies(many of whom will be terrorists), and flood the country with an additional 1 million hispanic illegals.He might even grant a million HB-1 visas on top of the aforementioned treason. Obama knows Ryan, and the GOPe will do NOTHING to stop it.

So sad but true....I called my reps, senators, Mia Love, Jason Chaffez, Orrin Hatch...a lot of good that did, so wrote them emails, still no replies...

They don’t care and nobody won’t care until we can get Trump into office, and we vote these re-election people out....

That’s what I’m going to do, when they come up for re-election, I’m voting for the other person...even if I have to write my own name in .... Hatch thinks he runs this State!!!

I did a very deep information search on Trey, I can’t find anything, I don’t think these sites are letting us get at the truth, if it doesn’t make them sound like they walk on water, there is nothing there....
