I peg Ryan as another John Mc Cain.
Another Juan McCain Amnesty and all.
Ryan thinks he’s ALWAYS right.....I like him less and less.
Mark Levin had Ryan on his radio show the day of the vote. He gave the same type of lame excuses and Levin was basically disgusted and rightly so as is Hugh Hewitt. Its shameful and the GOP is going to wonder what happened when 8 million republicans sit home in 2016 instead of the 6 million who sat home in 2012.
Everyone I know is a conservative republican and they all feel the same way. We are starting to actually hate our own party.
The bottom line is $17 trillion debt, and they’re “holding the line” on the backs of $6 billion in military retiree cuts. So it’s:
1. Unserious in debt relief; and
2. Punitive against a group that’s obviously out of favor.
My guess is this is just a first step. There’s no telling what that “commission” will recommend regarding military retirement pay.
