It got brought to the floor and voted on in one day. Nobody actually read it and we’re in the wrong for being mad about that?

Wah-wah-wah! I cannot believe a cut to veterans benefits was even put onthe table in the first place. And then, to actually pass! And then, a “fix” still screws the Veterans!
All while spending unemployment, food stamps, healthcare, coddling illegal aliens, and 125 million on penis pumps for old codgers goes on unabated.
Our Country is toast.

Ha! I gave up on Ryan the moment he said he endorsed homos adopting. Knew then and there he was not to be trusted. And indeed, he’s continued on that path ever since, becoming a point-man on amnesty, and now is busily kneecapping vets.

why has the GOP agreed to a budget funding bill thru Sept 2014? By having the funding expire 6 weeks before the mid-term elections, it will leave the GOP open to a non-stop media assault to force the GOP to agree to whatever terms the Dems propose to keep the gov’t fully funded; otherwise, the economy will take another purported body blow, courtesy of the GOP. the important focus for these elections in 2014 needs to remain on the disaster that is Obamacare, which will be buried in the voting public’s minds with this timetable.

"They must choose whose side they're on: establishment Republicans or the far-right flank."

Completely false premise! Considerate, consistent conservatives (including most Tea Party members and sympathizers) are rock solid, rational, reasonable American tax-paying CITIZENS!!!

It's the big government, establishment elite GOP and RINOs reaching across the isle to fondle what they still perceive as center-left Democrats that are out of the main stream of normal, traditional, historically cognizant American tax-paying CITIZENS!!!

Our current batch of Repellican "leaders" were anointed when considerate, consistent conservatives in both the House and Senate were a distinct minority, elected and seated before the current Tea Party Rebellion had occurred!

They just don't get how sick and tired and how totally fed-UP and determined we really are to take out government back and reduce it's size and role in our business and personal lives!!! We're sick of the media thinking they are the 4th and most powerful branch of our multi-level governMental morass!!!

We are the mainstream of America and we have standards that must be complied with, the biggest of which is that government works for and obeys us and not the other way around!!! And that's just the way it's gonna be!!! Deal with it!!!

Paul Ryan was actually FOR the troops before he was AGAINST the troops!

When trying to explain himself to Hugh Hewitt, the weasel Ryan’s logic sounded as twisted as Rubio’s logic sounds as THAT devious ass tries to “rehabilitate” his conservative bona fides. NEITHER of them will EVER fool me again.

We understand them perfectly and they haven’t got a CLUE about us. That should be an advantage.

In reality, folks like the National Journal know. They know that unlike liberals and LIVs, conservatives don't march in lockstep simply because of party affiliation.

Conservatives are educated on the issues, and when their principles are betrayed by those who supposed to represent them, they stay home or take their vote elsewhere.

Once the feckless RINOs are exposed and ousted, it'll be just the patriots vs the leftists. That's why when the Rats held power from 2009-2011, they tried to goad Republicans to support their leftist policies. Ain't gonna happen this time.

"Ultra" conservative, is it? Death by adjective for this wandering little stream-of-consciousness rant.

No, in fact, Mr. Ryan isn't going to cut it. He represents the faction within the GOP that needs to hit the road, because accommodation has given conservatives nothing but the back of the hand in the form of such epithets as "ultra" conservative. He might be - he is - frightened by such labels, which is why he has to go, as does every other spineless, intimidated go-along-to-get-along poor excuse for a politician that's been stinking up the Republican party for far too long.

Paul Ryan is no conservative. What he did to our US Military Retirees is TREASON.

Another Wisconsin Liberal RINO pushed off by Phonycons and GOP Media. Now the same PhonyCons are pushing Amnesty Liberal and Anti Tea Party Wisconsin Liberal RINO Scott Walker

If the GOP does not get conservative in 2014, 2016 will be absolute disaster

“If you think that I wanted to do this or enjoy doing this, that’s not true,” Ryan told Hewitt of the budget cuts. “Had Mitt [Romney] and I won that election, this would not be required. This would not be necessary.” He added later, “Now do I want to do this? Did I think this was a great thing to do and what we needed to do? No, course not,” he went on.”

The money quote: “Ryan did, of course, vote for the bill.”

“I didn’t want to, but I did, because, because, uh, someone, I forgot whom, was pointing a gun at my head. But I didn’t want to.”

One thing you can give Romney credit for—he knows how to vet someone. And Ryan was a perfect fit for the RomneyCare candidate.
