House Speaker John Boehner's decision not to appoint the Republican Party's financial wizard, Rep. Paul Ryan, to a 12-member super committee tasked with finding more than $1 trillion in savings came as a surprise to almost everyone but Ryan, who said he asked not to be a member of the panel despite earlier indications that he would serve if asked.
Several Republicans had rooted for Ryan to be part of the 12-member panel.
"I definitely would have Chairman Paul Ryan, just because he lives and breathes these numbers, he knows them inside and out. He understands what needs to be done," Rep. Michael Grimm, R-N.Y., told CNBC before Boehner's announcement. "I think Paul Ryan definitely has to be at that."
Ryan, chairman of the House Budget Committee, said Wednesday that he asked Boehner not to consider him because of his plan to overhaul the budget process this fall. Aides to Boehner confirmed that to Fox News.
"This past year has shown that the federal budget process is more broken than ever and needs to be reformed," the Wisconsin congressman said in a written statement, showering praise on the three Republicans that Boehner chose -- Rep. Jeb Hensarling of Texas and Reps. Dave Camp and Fred Upton, both of Michigan.
"If we are truly going to put the country's fiscal house in order, it will not be enough to temporarily reduce what Washington spends," he said. "We must permanently reform the process by which working American’s hard-earned tax dollars are spent"

Fred Upton. Fred Upton? The guy that authored the 2007 light bulb standards and now can’t figure out why he can’t get a repeal through?
That guy?
Cap and Trade winking Fred Upton who got such conservative opposition for his committee appointment...that Fred?
Oh, Mr. Speaker!
I agree the McConnell did a pretty good job. Toomey and Portman will be good. Kyl is going to retire, pretty conservative and knows how the Senate works. Overall, not a bad team.
"If we are truly going to put the country's fiscal house in order, it will not be enough to temporarily reduce what Washington spends," he said. "We must permanently reform the process by which working American’s hard-earned tax dollars are spent"It'll be the same circle-jerk as the debt fiasco. He'll never get Boner to agree with it enough to push for it. Then he'll cower in the corner untill he signs onto whatever
When interviewed, Upton can't even go with the thought that the US gov't has NO BUSINESS regulating what kind of bulbs the citizens can buy AT ALL. Upton is a Statist.
No, I didn't, but while we're on the subject, do you not post the same rude, arrogant, argumentative, and disrespectful crap every day?
I suppose you think it would have demonstrated wisdom to vote against TARP, but then I'm certain that you have absolutely no concept of the magnitude or imminence of the collapse that would have befallen us had TARP not passed. I suppose in your imagination, the utter destruction of the global financial system that maintains our civilization would have been met with an 'oh, well, that's how free markets work' attitude, without any concept of the notion that we have not maintained a true free market in decades, and that collapse would lead to the empowerment of every sordid, machinating element of global society that you as a conservative likely oppose. Moreover, you apparently see inestimable value in shutting down the government in a politically suicidal fight over legislative half-measures that don't address the true drivers of our debt, a mere 16 months before the critical contest of our time, while pilloring the one representative who has single-handidly put forth the only comprehensive and politically feasible plan to deal with our fiscal crisis. It may be self-gratifying to grouse and carp about the insufficiency of the efforts of others, or to oppose every workable solution for a fictional panacea that comports with your notion of ideological purity, but it's neither realistic or productive, and when it's conducted in a routinely impudent fashion, it's altogether unwelcome.
Thanks for the clarification. Freep on !
"I support the individuals right to abortion ... this does not make me a liberal and your an idiot for suggesting such ... I personally do not agree with abortion but it is NOT my decision to make. Saying that ... having multiple abortions is the actions of a disgusting person."
bye.
zot
LOL, just say you support democrat lite and bankrupting the country and leave out all the other bunk.
I will go where I please
I'd say you're wrong...it looks like the Big Guy gave you the zot.
P.S. - Good catch, Jim!
Good job, hell! McConnell is a fricken idiot!! He diluted our tea party power in the House!! Shared it with senate RINOS and socialist democrats, fer crying out loud!! Why?? All they had to do was vote no in the House to HOLD THE LINE!! There wasn’t a damned thing the democrats could do about it.
We are heavily anti-RINO!!
In case you haven’t noticed, there’s a TEA party rebellion underway!! Eff the RINOS!! It’s open season, no bag limit!!
If the blue blood big “R” Republicans have a problem with that, TS!!
But people who say categorically "I won't vote for Mitt"---well, Mitt is like Mussolini. On the wrong side, dangerous if he is allowed to have his way, but entirely controllable by the party/system/conservative wing if in power. Obama is like Hitler. Utterly uncontrollable and totally destructive. So if it's a choice in November 2012 between Mitt and Zero, no question at all what I'll do.
Meanwhile, I'll do everything I can in the primaries to stop the Mittster, and I don't think it will be that hard.
Let’s hope he’s keeping his calendar clear for a presidential run.
I would enthusiastically support him, unlikely as it is.
Oh, b/s. We’re not even discussing Romney the mandate loving SOB fascist socialist, abortionist pig!! We HAD the power!! We the TEA party people worked our asses off to send fiscal Republicans to the HOUSE so that they could put a STOP to the taxing, borrowing and spending big government socialist fascists!! The effing RINOS gave it away!! A pox on them all!!
And if you think we’re going to support Romney, then you know absolutely nothing about this pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-liberty site!!
NOT ON MY WATCH!!
EFF ROMNEY AND THE RINO HE RODE IN ON!! MCCain and McConnell too!!
REBELLION IS BREWING!!
I still haven't gotten over the Ryan and West disappointments.
All RINOs are equal. Some are just better dancers.
He even RESEMBLES Reagan!!!
He even RESEMBLES Reagan!!!
And I've made my position very clear. I'll oppose Romney in the primaries. I expect he'll lose. But I would vote for Ron Paul, Rudy Guliani, or anyone with an R beside their name other than Obama.
As for "rebellions brewing," well, the Stamp Act was passed in 1765, and no one took up arms until 1775. So these rebellions take quite a while to brew sometimes.
RINOs are cowards! We gave them the power and the wimpy SOBs we’re afraid to use it!! They were scared witless of what the media would say if they wielded their power to save America. Lot of good it did them. The press continues to skewer them.
What would Pelosi, Reid, and Co. have done if they had a lock on one house of congress and had a chance to block our agenda?
THEY WOULD HAVE VOTED IN LOCK STEP TO BLOCK US!!
Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!!
