Go for it Nehlen........squash that little louse.
You beat me to it. This is our one chance in AZ. McCain is running a pretty disgusting ad against her.
What happened is this:
The Republicans and Democrats agreed to back room negotiations in order to attempt to avoid another government shutdown. Congress passed a Continuing Resolution that funded the government through December 2013.
Senator Murray (D-WA) and Representative Ryan (R-WI) were chosen to lead their respective sides.
Both wanted concessions, but from all reports, Ryan didn't push the Democrats on things like cutting welfare to Illegals, tightening rules on Food Stamps, or reining in ObamaCare (which we now know has proven to be a Trillion dollar budget buster).
Instead, Ryan wanted blood from either Government workers or the military. Both had already been hit hard. Government workers, including DoD personnel like nurses, doctors, and cops had already endured a 3 year pay freeze, layoffs (Reductions in Force), and two furloughs (more layoffs). One furlough from Sequestration that cut their pay by 20% for 3 months, and one furlough from the shutdown (which was eventually reimbursed for pay, the other was not).
Even Republicans agreed another stab at civilians was piling on. No other group had contributed more deficit reduction than they had. But the military had also been hit hard. The pay increases they did get were a joke, they had their own RIFs coming, and the military budget had been decimated three times, even before the assault of Sequestration.
But Ryan demanded "something." That something he wrote himself and inserted it into the overall budget agreement so that it could not be removed without killing the entire vote on the package. He wanted cuts to military pensions through the Cost of Living Allowance for all retirees under age 62. Their COLA would be statistically nothing against inflation, and their retirements would be hit so hard that by the time the COLAs were reinstated at age 62 they would have lost 25% of their retirement.
AND - Ryan's cuts affected the disabled wounded warriors as well. Even those who were 100% disabled via combat injuries.
Military families found out about the cuts through the news. As you know, these families, and yourself, sacrifice for this nation. This came as a total betrayal.
Ryan announced the cuts himself, with "pride" (his exact word). When it was pointed out that all these cuts would only "save" $6 billion over ten years and had almost zero effect on the overall budget, Ryan smirked and said he didn't care. "It was a start" were I believe his words (paraphrasing that).
Even Democrats were outraged. Bernie Sanders was outraged and took the side of the veterans. When it was announced that the disabled were also cut, Ryan was forced to maneuver in the face of the outrage, and said it was an "oversight" and he would "correct" it. It was NO OVERSIGHT - Ryan wrote the legislation very carefully. He knew what he was inserting into the budget bill.
Congress eventually passed an override to Ryan's language a few months later, and after much public outrage (thank you America!)
Ryan was furious, and attempted to get Speaker Boehner to block the removal. He was unsuccessful.
I don't know what darkness lurks in the heart of Paul Ryan about military families, but he seems to harbor a hatred of them. I am not exaggerating, and I don't know what other conclusion I can reach given the facts.
I want him primaried so badly!
I am also praying Ryan loses his seat. He like most of the GOPe is tone deaf to the American public he is supposed to be representing.
His competitor Nehlen seems to be running a true grassroots candidacy and will accept donations of any amount. It is time for the voters voices to finally be heard.
Vote Nehlen (Wait, I did this earlier...I’m stuffing the ballot box:)
Paul Ryan hates veterans
Oh that is so sick! LOL!
Normally i would agree with you, but this is donald trump. He’ll run circles around them at any face2face meeting, then when they leave, he’ll be living inside their heads until the next time they meet. lol.
Money well spent to donate at kelliward.com and for Paul Nehlen.
bump
Now i know how the French felt, but we wont have any beheadings.
As long as I can stop the more rabid Trump fans from doing them!!! :)
YES LOL have that same LP on the record shelving here. Only difference is....you have his autograph! Congrats on that :) Nice easy music for a weekend afternoon. Thanks for the memory. And the sound is still sweet - both Gleason’s and the sound of Lyin’ Ryan getting his due.
When is the primary vote?
That photo is from a Google search - not my collection.
On a related note, I do have a lot of Sinatra tracks on CDR burned direct from the raw studio master tapes - many are “dry” before the dreaded reverb was added for the commercial release and some have studio chatter edited out for final release.
Sinatra is “da best” - from jazzy big bands (”I’ve Got You Under My Skin” w/Count Basie) to intimate voice w/solo piano (”One for My Baby”)...and so many more.
probably the same reason Johnson won. Some PEOPLE are great at buying votes. Not always the party.
