Paul Ryan enters his first full year as speaker of the House with a unified caucus, an ambitious agenda, and an audacious goal: Go on offense against President Obama and the Democratic party, while laying the predicate for unified Republican control of government in 2017. “We have no clue who our nominee is going to be,†Ryan tells me over the phone, “and the last thing we should do is sit around and wait.†Ryan says he learned in 2012 that Republicans should make the case for their policies as quickly and as forcefully as possible. “We can’t sit around and be reactionaries and walk into every trap Obama sets for us. We have to nationalize the election on ideas and give the country a choice.†He wants an “honest election†that results in a “mandate election victory†for the next president: “An honest election isn’t running on vague platitudes, it isn’t a personality contest. It’s explaining who you are, what you believe, what you intend to do, and why it relates to people.†I spoke to Ryan as he prepared to return to Wisconsin in time for a parent-teacher conference. What’s surprised him most about being speaker, he said, is how much he likes the job. “I reengineered the job, loosening it up, decentralizing power through regular order. I’m not sitting in an office trying to predetermine everything.

Pathetic display.
What has the imbecile done other than fund Obama's remaining agenda with no strings attached, drastically increased our national debt, and grown a beard?
Ryan is part of the DC Uni-Party, aka “The Cabal”.
He is a serious part of the infection in DC that needs to be removed.
Oh, bulltwinkies! We might as well have Boehner back than this bearded clown. Geez!
Bovine excrement!
How gullible do they think we are?
Talk, talk, talk. The latest PR for the entrenched, elitist, scumbags in D.C.
Does this mean he is going to get to work on articles of impeachment?
Lyin’ Ryan needs to be Cantorized
@CONTINETTI
Shut up you stupid Cuck.
Ryan is a waste of human skin IMHO!
If Ryan and the GOP are going on the offensive, it must be
election time.
If he had put up even a minimal defense against funding Obama’s agenda and Planned Murderhood, I could hope this was true. But he and his buddies did not. I see the agenda, “go on offense, stop the president”, etc. etc., blah, blah, blah, just to get conservative and tea party votes. Then take the easy road and just go along with whatever the DemoRepub establishment agenda is.
“We have to nationalize the election on ideas and give the country a choice”
I agree, Lyin’ Ryan. Since the Dims push for open borders and the invasion of our country by the Third World, how about the Republican Party opposing that for a change? That would give the voters “a choice”, wouldn’t you agree? Where do you stand on that?
Yesterday I wrote
“National Review was a big supporter of Paul Ryan for speaker and takes about his budget bravery. They are just the people I want telling me what to believe.”
Right on cue today they come out with a puff piece on Ryan. I am starting to believe Ryan is the new convention strategy. He will become the compromise candidate of the GOPe.
Push Cruz to try and damage Trump in Iowa and the South then have the GOPe Rubio and Jeb! Pick up caucus (party selected) delegates in such stalwart conservative states as California, Oregon, Washington, Vermont, Minnesota, Illinois, etc so that no one has a majority at the convention.
Then Good ole reluctant Ryan can come in and save the day (heavy sarcasm).
This article says it all. I’m still leaning towards Cruz, but national review is a hypocritical whore for the GOP. - http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/01/22/selective-outrage-national-review-trashes-trump-rallies-behind-ryan/
there, fixed it. Being an election year, the only struggle we can expect from the GOP is twisting their little heads trying to bury them deeper in the sand.
That fixed it.
Ryan has a live cam up showing DC from his balcony set to music. Did Boehner have that?
Paul RYAN Is John Boehner with half the IQ.
Paul Ryan was mentored and brought into DC politics by Cesar Conda, who along with Grover Norqusit has groomed Ryan to be the Trojan horse for amnesty and bad trade like TPP and to control the house of Reps. Conda is powerful and everyone needs to know about him. He is also chief of staff for......Marco Rubio.
