Conservatives give Ryan a pass on budget deal they despise

The House Freedom Caucus hates the massive government-funding bill: Spending levels are billions of dollars higher than what conservatives wanted, and at least two top policy priorities — language addressing Syrian refugees and so-called sanctity of life — were cut.

But unlike past fiscal battles, when lawmakers took shots at GOP leaders and tried to tank bills, this time conservatives are largely holding their fire. Even as they vow to oppose the package, many are still praising Speaker Paul Ryan’s handling of the $1.1 trillion spending bill and $680 billion in tax breaks.

WHAT A PANT LOAD!!!!

'The end product here is just cleaning the barn, it’s a disaster,' one Freedom Caucus member complains.

Well, Paul Ryno is up for a vote next Fall.

Ditch him; he wants to spend more time with his family...

[JudyinCanada]

Ryan looks like such a weasel with that beard. He seems rather slimy to me.

[DoughtyOne]

Who gives him a pass...

Like hell we do!

No freakin way!

[RginTN]

Heard Newt Gingrinch sing Ryan’s praise.

[myself6]

No... We dont give him a pass...

In fact.. We are willing to work with democrats in his district to defeat him in the primary.

[MUDDOG]

If I lived in Ryan’s district, I’d be tempted to vote for the Democrat just to get rid of Ryan.

[DoughtyOne]

Yes, that gets my vote as well.

Time to start primarying guys like Ryan.

[MUDDOG]

Knocking off Eric Cantor was a glorious moment!

[Truth29]

The Republicrat rats march on. Ryan is a despicable worm and there are more behind him. The whole system needs to be nuked. Maybe somebody like Trump can make a new start, but the rot runs deep throughout the Legislative and judicial branches as well.

[LegendHasIt]

"Conservatives give Ryan a pass..

Typo in that last word. The vowel is supposed to be an I.

[Kit cat]

What the heck is with Ryan’s facial hair has he converted to being a Muslim???? He looks absolutely ridiculous !!!!

[DoughtyOne]

I’m sure it was. Kudos...

[Cheerio]

but the rot runs deep throughout the Legislative and judicial branches as well. and the dumbed down population that votes!!!
