House Speaker Paul Ryan is being challenged in the Republican primary by a Wisconsin businessman who says he once volunteered for the congressman but now feels betrayed.

Ryan’s campaign spokesman Zack Roday declined comment. …

Challenger to Paul Ryan

http://www.paulnehlen.com/

“So, when Paul Ryan began pushing a massive, job-killing international “trade” deal known as the Trade Promotion Authority and Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPA/TPP), it was the final straw for me. I know what TPA/TPP will do to this district. It sells out American workers. It sells out American business and industry. It will kill the economy in this district, never mind the rest of the nation.

Why would Paul Ryan do such a thing?

I asked myself that question again and again, trying to understand. I couldn’t believe he would be so reckless. I couldn’t believe he would sell out his own district in that way.

And then I started looking at public records…and it all began to make sense.

Approximately 83 percent of Paul Ryan’s campaign funding comes from outside of Wisconsin’s 1st District. And of that 83 percent, 65 percent of his funding comes straight from Washington, D.C. and Alexandria, Virginia.

Paul Ryan isn’t representing our district. He’s representing the big businesses and big banks that pour money into his campaign coffers. It’s their agendas he’s carrying forward with his votes in Congress…not ours

Perhaps Ryan doesn’t care. He may be running for a different office in the fall.

Paul Ryan-Boehener is not planning to continue on as a congressman.

He and Mitt Romney have bigger plans.

And other people who are supposedly on the side of conservatives are helping them.

Well Paul Ryan-Boehner was once a tea party favorite and conservative darling too.

Once he's the president with the help of other liars, he won't beat around the bush anymore.

Paul Ryan-Boehner will be able to finally Openly tell the conservatives to go F themselves once he becomes the president.

He and Mitt Romney are not smiling at you...they're baring their fangs...
