Change your party affiliation to “Independent”. Junk mail from GOP will stop.

Why would you donate to the GOP? It’s like sending money to the government. Most of it ends up going to the wrong people.

Speaker Ryan is a straight-shooting family man...

He's a RINO. Part of the problem, not the solution.

Why do people refer to Ryan as a "pussy?" He isn't. He is just as determined to destroy this country as The Beast. Ryan voted to allow another 300,000 Muslims to invade our country, and he is pro TPP.

What else do you need to know?

It’s failing because he is a double dealing back stabbing liar who favors open borders and big government

Time to bring up term limits again.

Why bother?

You are just going to have FReepers running around waving their tiny hands in the air shrieking that "Elections are term limits" and "The founders didn't think term limits were necessary".

They will ignore that the incumbent has a major, almost overwhelming, advantage in getting re elected and that the founders did not approve a professional political class.

Term limits, Good enough for the Presidency, Good enough for all political offices.

Yeah, and the herd mentality around here refer to him as a p**sy, better spelled accurately as pussy. The herd has to follow the journalists with the redacted spelling. Pathetic.

Christian Science Monitor has long been a leftist tool. Their silly and credulous reference to Ryan as a “straight shooter” and “devout Catholic,” as if they believe him incapable of dire treachery, is typical of their oily leftist way of thinking.

Perhaps he has been offered a lucrative position in the Jezebel administration - Secretary of Changing the Colostomy Bag maybe. Wouldn’t be surprised if he switches to rat after the election.

The GOP HOR members voted for him as Speaker after Boehner was forced out. They knew then a lot of Republican voters were not amused.

Their phones are ringing off the hook from furious constituents.
I called Dave Brat’s office today it make it clear if he supported Pauly RINO for Speaker he could expect to be Cantorized.
The staffer I spoke to said they had been getting calls like mine all day.

202-224-3121, when prompted press 2 for House, then input zip code 53548 for Janesville WI and press 1 for Ryan’s office.
I did that today and left him a scathing voicemail.
They won’t let you through to talk to a staffer.
They’re getting hammered.
Join the fun!

Trump should take things a step further ... Endorse the Democrat that’s campaigning against McCain. Yes, I completely understand what’s at stake by doing that, but McCain would flip ... Violently.

I wish the Senate wasn’t close ... That would be a decent strategy to neutralize McCain.

Wikipedia says he’s worth $7.8 million, I don’t think you get there on a Congressman’s salary.
