Or just working with them?

Every Republican ran for election promising to cut spending, make the government smaller and kill Obamacare.

Not only have they failed in all three, WE ARE SETTING RECORDS IN THE OTHER DIRECTION

Spending is HIGHER than ever!

The Government is BIGGER than ever!

Not only is Obamacare alive and well, Ryan's budget PRESERVES it!

Mrs. Ryan is a niece of former Sen. David Boren, D-OK.

So, fairly quickly, Paul Ryan goes from being a wonderful, rock-solid conservative VP pick, to being someone ostracized on here for liberal views, votes and bills.

Amazing the change that can happen. I hope the same doesn’t happen to Ted Cruz. I think the same has happened to Michael Grimm.

“So, fairly quickly, Paul Ryan goes from being a wonderful, rock-solid conservative VP pick”...

Disappointingly, Ryan is clearly a “one note wonder”.
Recent attempts by Republican MC to work with democratic colleagues was mindful of US negotiations with Iran. “Success” in dealing with Iran is nothing short of acceding to their petulant demands. And yes, Cruz (and others such as Mike Lee)will do well to not get out of tune with Conservative ideals.

Waste of bandwidth. They don’t care. Also a historical note. The last Vet encampment in DC over benefits did not end well at all.

Just for future refrence:

The next time (if there ever is a next time) that a bunch of fellow conservatives put forth the radical idea that a man who would run on a ticket with Romney is not one to either trust or support, listen.

Don’t call them names and make excuses that the other guy is worse. Because as Bhoner/Mcconell and now RYAN have proven with their gay/amnesty/obamacare support...and now screwing our vets, the ‘other’ guy ain’t worse.

PS: less crow to eat as well.
