Bash asked, "Will you defund Planned Parenthood?"
"This is what I mean when I say being an effective opposition party. I think being an effective opposition party means being honest with people upfront about what it is we can and cannot achieve," he said.
"But we also have to push issues where we can push issues, we have to speak truth to power," he added. "We have a president that isn't willing to listen, that isn't going to sign lots of our bills into law, we have a Senate that has a very difficult process when it comes to actually getting bills voted on, so knowing that we have those constraints, we have to operate within those constraints."

“Start a vote of no-confidence right now. This guy is just another scheming pansy.”
Didn’t the morons give up that right so Ryan would run?
The second golden boy from Wisconsin to turn out as the bull with teats.
And shine a spotlight on the baby killer’s supporters who vote to uphold a veto.
He’s not caving. Not to anyone. He fights against decent Americans just like all GOP lobby funded politicians do
They do not cave to democrats. They work for people whose interests can be the same as democrats
Paul Ryan is a disaster as speaker. It will get worse
In fact, note that a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that Congress is prohibited from appropriating taxes for anything that it cannot justify under its Section 8-limited powers.
Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States. Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Remember in November 2016!
Only thing I admire about pelosi is she never speaks like a loser.
I saw ryan on TV this morning. He was explaining that because Obama has exceeded his authority with regard to immigration, ryan has decided that the Congress should do nothing about immigration. If the executive branch has exceeded its authority, shouldn't that inspire other branches to do more rather than less in order to combat the excesses of the executive?
I don't get ryan's reasoning at all and, until I do, I will not be capitalizing his name.
You just do it, and force the people who support human abattoirs to give reasons why the people of the US through their taxes should be subsidizing an organization that harvests dead baby body parts... for money.
EXACTLY!!!...fund everything but 500 million for PP...a PRIVATE COMPANY....Let Obama shut down the country over that!!
what % is 500 million of the entire federal budget???..to a private company no less ....Let the fight be about COMPROMISE!!!
Trump is probably wise enough to wait until he is elected before giving us details on his plans. If he was just going to maintain status quo, why run at all?
> “ I think being an effective opposition party means being honest with people upfront about what it is we can and cannot achieve,” he said.”
Ryan says he can’t do the job but the truth is he won’t do the job.
Maybe someone should remind Paulito that the House controls the purse strings.
I don’t understand the difficulty. You just pass a spending bill WITHOUT any money in it for Planned Parenthood. Are we so screwed up that everything gets funded unless we specifically get a bill defunding it?
Reasoning?
He pretended last week to not want this position. He’d come in only if everyone begged him to do the public a big service. He is an actor
They work for people who want planned parenthood funded.
Romney Ryan.
I voted for these two.
Why?
“The budget process stinks” both Bonehead and his protege Pall Ryno.
Maybe we could work hard and send good people to Congress who could ... uh, hmmm.
Never mind. Been there, done that.
And they’re worthless teats.
Funny, I thought Republicans were the majority party in both the House and the Senate.
I guess it was a Freudian slip, he admitted that the Democrats ARE still in charge.
Maybe they should do what’s pleasing to God and to the American ppl. Rather than to Obama.
We are well past the point that changing the names is going to make any difference. Maybe Ryan will come up with a sop or two but that’s it.
