If their principles are so superior to everyone else in Congress, and they no doubt, knew exactly who and what RYAN was, they were obligated to sit out the vote for Ryan as speaker, even if it cost them everything. Otherwise, what good are conservative values, if they are only called upon, at more opportune times?

First you abstain, then and only then could you claim the moral high ground, in opposing everything Ryan wants to do. But as it stands today, they are nothing more than political HACKS. No one here should be defending political hackery.

That is a presupposition on your part, an after-the-fact rule you'd like to now enforce so that you can therm demonize Freedom Caucus for not agreeing to the proposed Ryan/Trump healthcare bill.

You can have all the fancy-pants "pure" opinions you care to. No one is obligated to show them much mind. How about the door? That's where you're latest mini-screed should be shown. To.

You'd been trolling that little thesis (and other related parts-is-parts of it) for days now. Couldn't find many takers, if what I scanned through in comments on other threads mean much...

First you abstain,

They did not have to obtain. If they had, it would have made things worse for the Republican Party than it is now.

then and only then could you claim the moral high ground, in opposing everything Ryan wants to do.

What else had Ryan wanted to do?Did anyone oppose just because it was Paul Ryan? Show me now, or admit you were indulging in more than just a wee bit of over-the-top hyperbole.

How about wrapping the mind around this; FR is not GOP echo chamber.

Party unity is important, but it is not everything. That goes right up to the top, to the Presidency. He too (the President) must convince House and Senate. In regards to the latest health-care bill, that did not happen.

But as it stands today, they are nothing more than political HACKS.

You don't like. Obviously enough want everyone to know (you don't like Freedom Caucus). Fine. Whatever. You have an opinion.

No one here should be defending political hackery.

It's "hackery" chiefly in your own imagination.

Toss your own hat in the ring. Run for office, unseat the 'HACKS' as you called them, calling them that on a religion forum thread on Freerepublic. One that you started and wanted to be 'caucused' around King James (version) Bible. You've still yet to show me what biblical principle these "HACKS" missed applying. I asked many comments ago, you skipped right post it, la-de-da.
