Can anyone who has followed Paul Ryan’s career tell me if he has ALWAYS been a muscle-head scumbag?

Paul Ryan is my rep. and I am very proud of him. I would love to answer your question but I'm a little vague on the definition of "muscle-head scumbag".

How about using our grown-up words on Free Republic? This a website for adults.

Here are some grownup words, I would vote for the democrat before I would vote for this traitor.

You’re PROUD of Paul Ryan? He’s a total Chamber of Commerce sellout enabling the invasion of the US. He singlehandedly compromised away the HOR’s power to keep the budget in line. He took Vets benefits to be a negotiating tool instead of a sacred obligation we owe those who served. He did not stand with Ted Cruz for the 21 hours....those who did voiced support. Have I forgotten anything?

Anyone who is adamant about selling America down the sewer on amnesty is a scumbag, muscle-heads aside. Bob

I respect your views. There are times, even today, when I nod my head at what he says (i.e. the recent "inner city culture" comment that caused an outcry by liberals).

However, (and this is a BIG however), Paul Ryan will forever be known as the man who betrayed veterans who fought and bled for this nation.

Please understand why this is a factual statement, and not outrageous rhetoric on my party. As part of the Ryan-Murray "deal" that they sprang on veterans a few days before Christmas, Ryan insisted on a pension cost of living cut that only applied to military retirees. Not Social Security, but only to military veterans. More egregious than that, Ryan rammed through provisions that didn't even exclude widows or disabled veterans from cuts. Even if your leg was blown off in Afghanistan and you were 100% disabled, you were not exempt. Then, he tried to back track and allowed Harry Reid to insert language into the omnibus language in January that exempted some (hear me.....only some) medically retired veterans from cuts, but that was only a very thin slice called "Chapter 11" retirees. Most disabled veterans (even 100% VA rated disabled) still had their pensions cut. It was only after the debt ceiling was raised in a vote the same day that where the House and Senate overwhelmingly overturned the cuts, and Paul Ryan still voted against that.

And for what? To "save" a measly $6 Billion over ten years. The Federal government currently spends approximately $6.5 Billion per day. Paul Ryan was willing to sell those American who have given the most to this nation down the river.

You cannot save a man's character that is as flawed as Paul Ryan's.

Wow, you must like Socialist RINOs? Why are you here, you should be at home with Ryan's philosophical equals -- the DUmp.

I have followed Ryan for many years -- he has always been an evil fraud.

He outright lies when he stated he is conservative. This liar voted for TARP, No Child Left Behind, ethanol subsidies, cuts to our Veterans, and so on. No true Conservative would vote for such Statist policies.

Anyone who says they are conservative and supports Ryan is, well, a fool.

Again, Ryan is truly an evil human being -- if what he proposes on just immigration passes then our Republic as founded will be destroyed. Our Republic cannot survive an invasion of hordes of third-world scum who believe in big government, who have no desire to learn English, who are anti-capitalist, anti-individual rights and anti-American.

Our Republic will truly be destroyed if Ryan has his way -- yea that's something for which to be proud (NOT!)

Too bad your congressman wants to turn my homeland into another patch of the third world.

Open-border traitors don't inspire much pride with me.

Sorry Jean, as a fellow Cheesehead, I hope Ryan loses big-time. If I lived in your district, I'd vote for the Rat.
