Desperate Paul Ryan Floods Wisconsin with Misleading Television Ads
Breitbart ^ | 7/20/2016 | Julia Hahn

Posted on 07/20/2016 6:48:02 AM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

House Speaker Paul Ryan is out with a new television ad that tries to convince Wisconsin voters that Ryan has taken action to keep Islamic terrorists from entering the United States.

In recent months, Paul Ryan, who leads the pro-Islamic migration wing of the Republican Party, has come under fire for his longstanding support for open borders. Ryan is now facing significant opposition in his August 9th primary election from Wisconsin businessman, Paul Nehlen, who is running on a pro-America platform and argues that the needs of American citizens should be a Congressman’s first priority.

The new 30-second television ad — Ryan’s first television ad of the election cycle — focuses on immigration and keeping Islamic terrorists from entering the U.S.

Ryan’s campaign provided reporters with a copy of the ad’s transcript. In the ad titled, “Do More,” Ryan tells Wisconsin voters:

"After the terrorist attacks in Orlando and San Bernadino [sic], Americans are right to be worried about ISIS plotting more attacks. As your Congressman, I have passed legislation to stop radical Islamic terrorists from entering the U.S. and I’m working with national security experts to change practices so we can prevent future attacks. Just talking about national security is not enough. We need new laws and action by the Administration to protect Americans."

It’s perhaps interesting that Ryan felt the issue of immigration security was important enough to his constituents to make it his first television ad of the election cycle. Pew polling data shows that Ryan’s position on immigration is opposed by 92 percent of the GOP electorate, and 83 percent of the American electorate overall.

Paul Nehlen is a front man stooge for the scamPAC operator from Virginia who is listed as his campaign manager.

The scamPACs are constructed to generate legitimate PAC money from contributors who are not closely tied to a specific candidate or electoral district. The scammers then pay themselves high salaries as employees and/or pay themselves high fees as "outside consultants" or vendors.

The stooge inexperienced candidates headlining the campaign may be unwitting dupes or participants in the scheme.

Paul Nehlen has NEVER been active in a local TEA Party or Republican Party. There is no local grassroots support for Nehlen.

From the last week's FEC report, 96% of Paul Nehlen's political contributions are from outside of Wisconsin.

I am laughing at all of you foolish Trumpboners. You hate Paul Ryan and anyone that doesn't kiss Donald's ass sooooo much that you have sent thousands of your hard-earned dollars to attack Ryan, but are merely unwittingly lining the pockets of a Virgina scamPAC con artist.

As further evidence that Nehlen's "campaign manager" is not managing the campaign, Paul Nehlen was ticketed for operating his "Dump Ryan" dumptruck without a proper operating license.

For this operation of Nehlen's "dumbtruck", Paul Nehlen was named today's RightWisconsin.com Loser of the Day.

Paul Nehlen is Today's RightWisconsin.com Loser of the Day

Count this as news you’re never going to read on Breitbart about Paul Nehlen.

In his long-shot, sleaze-filled campaign to challenge Speaker Paul Ryan, one of the most familiar symbols of the Nehlen campaign has been his “Dump Ryan” dump truck. Nehlen has been seen driving it throughout the 1st District and in parades.

One problem according to the Janesville Gazette, neither Nehlen nor anyone on his campaign had the proper licensing to drive the truck in the first place. As a result, he was ticketed by local authorities and forced to pay a fine.

Paul F. Nehlen, 47, of 2520 Countryside Drive, town of Delavan, was pulled over on County O in the town of La Prairie at 8:15 a.m. May 19, according to the criminal complaint.

A State Patrol inspector had noticed the truck's front license plate was missing, according to the criminal complaint.

“There was no indication when I registered the truck that it was a CDL-class vehicle, so I had been driving it without one,” Nehlen said in a statement issued by his campaign.

“An officer pulled me over on May 19th for a missing front plate that I'd accidentally forgotten to remount after having the truck painted with the 'DumpPaulRyan.com' message,” the statement continues. “The officer noted that the vehicle was properly registered and that I was clearly competent to drive it. He simply told me what the DMV didn't--that I needed a CDL to drive the truck legally.

Nehlen tells the Janesville Gazette he has since “settled the matter” when it comes to driving the truck. But for his “dumb” truck move, Paul Nehlen is our “Loser of the Day.”

He is fighting open borders Ryan the rino and he is opposed to amnesty and open borders and that is enough for me. For the good of the country Ryan has to go, and I would take anyone instead including a Democrat. You are the first supporter of Ryan I have seen on this board since this contest heated up and even before.

Ryan has to go no matter if Nehlen is the right guy or not. It's better to give Nehlen the chance to prove himself then reward Ryan for his backstabbing and lying.

Regardless of how you or I feel about Ryan, don't you feel stupid for helping to line the pockets of some sleazy scamPAC operator from Virginia?

If and/or when the people of Wisconsin's 1st congressional district decide to replace Paul Ryan, it won't be by a dufus like Nehlen or caused by a bunch of out-of-state keyboard tough guys.

You are being fleeced and scammed. End of warning.

He is a traitor - his knowledge of our knowledge of it helped inspire a pretty good speech last night.

Wow. You caught me.

My deep cover as a nearly 20-year active and posting conservative on FR has been blown.

Go ahead. Check my posts for the past 18+ years. It's amazing that I've been able to maintain such an elaborate, multi-layered cover of lies and deceit for sooo long. (/sarc)

Lurkinanloomin - oth - is an angry FReeper noob who likes to call names.

I live in Wisconsin. I have been a leader within local and statewide GOP units and involved in conservative politics for more than 25 years. I know who is who in state GOP and conservative politics. If Paul Nehlen was actually 1/100th of the conservative Breitbart claims him to be, I would have met or heard of Nehlen.

When our state went through the hell of Democrat obstruction, protestor occupation of our capitol and multiple recall efforts, where was Paul Nehlen?

Nowhere to be seen. Some of us here in-state initially thought Nehlen was a Democrat plant. Now it appears more likely that Nehlen is just a front man (knowing or unknowing) for a Virginia-based scamPAC operator.

Examine Nehlen's FEC reports for yourself. Try to trace his background. Try to chase down the background of his "campaign manager."

Or you could just shout me down and call me names.

If you Trumpers have so much money lying around, send it to Trump. Send it to Trump-affiliated PACs. Send it to the RNC (Trump is the GOP nominee, after all). Send it to some conservative politician in your own state who needs it and could win.

Nehlen won't win his primary against Ryan. It won't even be close. The Nehlen campaign is an astroturf out-of-state operation designed to line the pockets of a Virginia scamPAC operator.

Or you could just shout me down and call me names.

I spent my childhood in Wisconsin, 1960-1970. There were no Spanish speaking people there. Now they have a group calling itself Voces de la Frontera, Voices of the Frontier, like the Mexican border has been moved to Wisconsin.
Walker and Ryan have been doing everything they can to assist the illegal alien inundation. Ryan is as big a weasel as Cantor was before we threw him out.
He’s lying to his constituents about border security to save his sorry hide.
You may want the US turned into North Mexico, but most of the rest of us don’t.
Mark Belling is a propagandist for The Cheap Labor Express, I turn the radio off every time he’s subbing for Rush.
Amnesty is the abandonment of the rule of law and the surrender of the country to fraudulently documented foreigners.

Everything you just posted is irrelevant.

Walker and Ryan have been the 2 most conservative and well-liked politicians in Wisconsin history. Before I throw them overboard for something else, I am going to make damn sure of the bona fides of anyone I would choose to replace them.

Do you know Paul Nehlen? What has he done? Why hasn't he previously been involved in the politics of a state that has been the epicenter of GOP political battles for the past decade? Why do 96% of his political contributions come from out of state? Why is his campaign manager a shady operative from Virginia instead of some professional from the area? Why won't Nehlen declare a pro-life stance to Wisconsin Right to Life?

These are legitimate questions. And shouting down those who raise these questions as GOPe or Cheap Labor supporters isn't just rude, it's foolish.

I've known Speaker Ryan for many years, not well but I do know him and have worked with him on legislation. Scott Walker has been a personal friend of mine since he was my state assemblyman 20+ years ago. They are good and honorable men and far from the grotesque caricatures depicted by some on this site.

Do I agree with them 100% of the time? Absolutely not. But it has been my experience that they can be reasoned with and are always open to discussing amending their positions, especially if shown they are in error.

I don't live in Ryan's district, but have a background in knowing the voting precincts of all 8 Wisconsin congressional districts. It's why I was able to accurately predict the results of Wisconsin's presidential primary in April.

I say unequivocally even if Nehlen were a real candidate with a local background, local management and local support, he would still lose his challenge to Ryan. There are many candidates who are far more worthy of your support who could really use the help.

Wisconsin voters are simply not going to dump Ryan from the highest elective office ever held by a Wisconsinite because of a bunch of out-of-state tin-foil Trumper tantrums.

Just sayin'.

I don’t know Nehlen, either.
We were very lucky to get Dave Brat in 2014.
His win stopped Rubio’s amnesty bill from passing the House.
Cantor, Ryan, McCarthy and the rest had already decided to do pass it with mosty Democrat votes right after Cantor’s primary. They pulled it when he went down. Cantor was ready to betray us and we knew it.
I wanted to be rid of Cantor so bad, I voted for the Democrat in 2012 after failing to Cantorize him in the primary.
Ryan is betraying his constituents with his open borders stance.
