Paul Ryan to deliver critique of Democrat’s (sic) pitch
The Washington Post ^ | 3-6-14 | Robert Costa

Posted on 03/06/2014 5:10:16 AM PST by afraidfortherepublic

"A full stomach — and an empty soul."

That scathing synopsis of the Democrats' pitch will be the crux of Paul Ryan's message to the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday, when the Wisconsin Republican addresses activists.

Ryan's critique, even if delivered in his usual aw-shucks style, will probably stir talk of a possible presidential bid. Politicians looking only to chair the Ways and Means Committee rarely toss out such red meat.

In the speech, which the Post obtained late Wednesday, Ryan also urges Republican to craft a conservative reform agenda, and talks up the legacy of his mentor, Jack Kemp, the late New York congressman who led the GOP's anti-poverty efforts during the 1980s and 1990s.

How can he attack them? He’s a Democrat in all but name.

Paul Ryan is dead to this conservative. Just another GOP-e shill. He has no standing to be making “conservative” gathering speeches.

I see Ryan serving ice cream cones at a corner ice cream shop.

I can’t see him in Congress; he does not belong there.

I despise him forever. Knocking out Veteran’s. He can go to He!!. I hope he loses his seat and I will NEVER vote for him EVER. He is the worst person on Earth as far as I am concerned. Only one person sickens me more than Paul Ryan and that is Jane Fonda. They are both the same.
