Lyin’ Ryan is a lackey of The Cheap Labor Express.

He’s begging to be Cantorized

Turns out that’s all they were interested in—a place at the GOPe gravy-express table.

‘Ryan seeks to tame conservatives’

Wow, didn’t know we needed taming. Yep, like those TEA Party rallies we had with all the violence, littering, etc. Or like those candidates we support - what with all that controversial following the constitution and protecting our liberty stuff. Yeah, it’s just madness I tell ya, madness...

Honestly, Wisconsin, just VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRAT next time!

It’s more important to fire RINOs from leadership roles than to keep one more seat in the GOP column.

How about DOING something actually CONSERVATIVE?

RE:”Fortunately for Ryan, there aren't many political landmines in 2016. The budget deal Boehner struck with Obama in October during his final days in office cleared the decks for Ryan, setting government spending levels for the next two years and ensuring there would be no debt default until at least March 2017, after a new president is sworn in.”

Then why is congress in session at all?

More make believe (they will be law) bills?

Like repealing Obama-care for the 100th time?

The Texas delegation has been very disappointing to this Texas TEA Partier and my friends. With a few exceptions, they’ve been co-opted, most notably Nort Texas congressmen.

The Republican Party should replace the elephant with a rhinoceros.

I think he probably has more in mind the way they “tamed” (cheated) conservatives in the MS and other primaries, going to democrats for votes when not enough conservatives would support their puppet Cochran over McDaniel. I know they don’t think much of their own supposed constituency, but even if they think we’ve already forgotten that, do they really believe we’ve already forgotten them just giving the left everything they want and more in the recent budget fiasco? I haven’t forgotten any of their betrayals. They just keep piling up and waiting for the chance to be revenged.

Paul Ryan represents why Donald Trump is drawing thousands upon thousands of potential voters. Ryan (and his predecessor Boehner) are the type of politicians that have given Obama everything he could possibly dream of and more.

Selective Outrage: National Review trashes Trump, rallies behind Ryan

A little over three months ago, National Review endorsed Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)56% for Speaker of the House. In doing so, National Review helped place a man with a two-decade history of pushing open borders immigration policies in charge of the Republican Partys entire legislative agenda.

Ten weeks after that endorsement helped Paul Ryan secure the Speakership, Ryan proceeded to swiftly pass an omnibus spending bill that funded and expanded President Obamas immigration agenda.

After stabbing us all in the back, he wants to make nice?

Screw you, Ryan! Your political days are numbered as the new citizens’ party squares off against your DC Uni-Party! You are going to lose!

Ryan suckered a lot of people including me, to think he would be better than Boehner. Guess we all were wrong. My only hope is that when/if Donald gets elected, some “thinking” GOP’ers will replace Ryan with a true conservative.

If Ryan is not flushed in the next election, any vestige of hope I have for this country will evaporate.

Ryan has defined what he is - a traitorous, deceitful agent of the establishment.

And THIS is what was on the "R" ticket in 2012. Please don't let any Romney-ite come to me saying I helped hand the White House to Ø for a second term. Ryan is really no better.

Hey Paul Ryan,

I got something for you to tame, buddy.

Come over here and tame it like your Mom did last week.

I will give Ryan and the Republicans a little time to act as if they are the majority in Congress. I have not seen anything positive so far. Until that time I am on the sidelines and will not give a penny to any national Republican organizations, although I am flooded with requests.
