Rat Boy Ryan should be recalled and removed from office.

I'm tired of his B.S. delays and d*cking around doing nothing but stalling.

Yet when Obama was in office he would tell Ryan to jump, and Ryan would ask how hi?

Did he follow that up with the created crisis and the Trillion Dollar stimulus support? Yes, let’s print it, now the GOPe on FR is all about spend, spend spend. The dam crisis didn’t happen overnight, but we must print and spend a Trillion dollars, which is simply, vote buying for democrats and the swamp people.
Suddenly, shovel ready is the new fiscally responsible thing to do.

Not defending Congressional Rep here but I saw a clip in which Rand Paul himself said he left that meeting to attend another one previously scheduled.

Why is the criticism so0 heavy about these promises not being fulfilled in the first 30 days of a brand new Administration?

Personally I think he needs at least a full year before anyone should complain. After all he has been obstructed all the way.

Paul Ryan is what I call the “Think Tank” politician. He has all the courage of a desk jockey who doesn’t have to fear political ramifications.

Ryan and McConnell's inactivity speaks volumes.

And supposedly Trump needs Priebus larding the WH with disloyal GOPe staffers, including himself, because of his ability to influence Congress in Trump’s direction?

Ha!

[HomerBohn]

His true colors faded a bit, but now they’re back! He is the fly in the ointment, he’s the object jamming the cog wheels of progress, he is the pimple on the ass of progress!

Dump his ass!!!! He’s a dangerous damned RINO>

The GOP has as long as I can remember loved to be the minority party - they get all the bennies of cocktail parties, retirement to multimillion's K street positions, etc. - but do NOT have to do the heavy lifting. They are not leadership quality and have no clue how to elect the brightest and best as the Speaker and Majority leader. Republicans by their very nature and beliefs will never ever unify and operate like the Marxist party because they are all independent thinkers unlike the mind-numbed robots in the RAT party.

As much as a I was a Trump supporter in the end I had a secret wish that he would lose simply so the GOP could once and for all be SMASHED to smithereens.

I am ecstatic that DJT won but on day one I said to anyone who would listen - Trump will face a bigger fight from the GOP Congress than was ever waged against the first Halfrican President. THE GOP IS AFRAID OF THEIR OWN SHADOW!!

I have a partial solution.

1. With modern video conferencing communication systems there is no reason why they have to gather in the District of Corruption for 139 days each calendar year (avg for House since 2001). Make them operate out of their state office and only convene in the District for special votes and events. The constituents will have a much better chance of holding their representatives feet to the fire.

2. Repeal the 17th Amendment and make the Senate be responsible again to the 50 State Legislatures which is exactly what the framers designed the US Senate for. Under the current 17th Amendment the people are voting just like they vote for the House only for some strange reason allowed the Senators to harass "We The People for SIX years instead of TWO in the House - the 17th Amendment should have dropped the Senate term to two years when being elected by "We The People instead of by State Legislatures.

Wiki - Americans did not directly vote for senators for the first 125 years of the Federal Government. The Constitution, as it was adopted in 1788, stated that senators would be elected by state legislatures.

3. YES by all means GOP card carrying party members should sue the GOP for false promises during the past DECADE. See Ann Coulters' article ...The Silence of the Lambs Congress
Congress passed 50 Kabuki Theater votes repealing Obamascare under a RAT President and once they got a GOP President in the WH, Congress is once again completely impotent.

The sad truth is that the GOP leadership especially Ryno are incompetent and cowardly. They are afraid to lead. And they don’t have a viable replacement for Ocare.

Truthfully it would be easy enough to sit down with the insurance companies and work with them to offer tailored health insurance plans that the average American could afford. For instance a healthy 25 year old could probably skim by with a policy that did not have cancer coverage and maxed out at $150,000 per year with an $800 deductible. Premium maybe $150 per month. We have to wean people off the $10 co-pay.

There are a million custom options that insurance companies could put together into affordable packages.

This HMO/PPO stuff with $10 co-pays is what ruined health insurance to begin with
