Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) has cleared the way for Eric Cantor (R-Va.) to succeed John Boehner as the next Speaker.
Ryan this week said he's not interested in becoming Speaker, preferring to head the influential Ways and Means Committee in 2015. Boehner has repeatedly said he's not retiring at the end of this Congress, but that hasn't tamped down speculation that the Ohio Republican is considering retirement.
The Hill recently surveyed dozens of Republicans in the House and the consensus was that the only lawmaker who could defeat Cantor is Ryan.
>> The Republicans have thrown out much of their base and shown that the Republican Party has no principles other than greed, ambition, and corruption.
It’s a club. A small club and growing smaller. All that Chamber of Commerce money will be wasted on people who don’t get elected. N.B RINOs, you’ve screwed people too many times. Your day has gone.
Bring in that rat house and invest in rope
We’re coming to get you John!
Cantor is gayer than Boehner, isn’t he?
The Hill recently surveyed dozens of Republicans in the House …. . . and got the “consensus” of the GOP-e, obviously.
“Cantor next Speaker”—Heaven help us.
“Ryan next Chairman of Ways and Means”—Heaven deliver us.
The entire, existing “leadership” team must be thrown out. They are completely and utterly useless, unless you happen to be a Dim hoping for a corrupt and ineffective opposition.
ugh, I can’t stand that whiney ass guy.
RINO’s rule the House
Cantor is as paid off as Speaker Boner.
Cantor is bad and Ryan is terrible.
Amnestyites who will allow millions of invaders to become citizens who will then pick our pockets clean.
They are the enemy.
I’d love to see Trey Gowdy in that position, but the powers that be won’t allow that.
..............”The Hill recently surveyed dozens of Republicans in the House and the consensus was that the only lawmaker who could defeat Cantor is Ryan”.
BS! Name the “dozens”. Was “dozens” in reality 1 dozen? Plus, what if 80-100 new pubs are on the floor come January 2015? What if Cantor is defeated? What if Ryan is defeated? I could go on and on.
The biggest single problem in this country today is the media, as exemplified by this clueless idiot. There are simply too many imponderables to come to such a sweeping conclusion.
Boehner, Cantor, Ryam the axis of RINO.
Ryan angling to make Cantor Speaker.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
The GOPe is owned by the Chamber of Commerce.
Lets HOPE and PRAY that the make-up of the NEW house is such that these two damn losers are relegated to legislative obscurity.
You bet, onyx
See Michele Malkin’s column re Chamber of Commerce.
THANKS SO MUCH.
God bless and keep you.
Gowdy is my choice for speaker.
