A fella called Kipling wrote a poem about that once. Seen it posted on the Hedge in the past.
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.
The Judge handed down her sentence. It’s time for the troops to mete out the punishment.
If Ryan is still Speaker come June the GOP is as dead as a hammer.
bump
Not Marsha Blackburn. She was going to vote for Ryan’s bill.
BINGO.
Ryan is a bought and paid for scumbag.
I do not think anyone really cares what a former Westchester DA with a corruption compromised EX says about most things. Why the folks who lambaste O’Reilly, whose actual audience gives him a bit of gravitas, why they gather round these bit players on FOX like Napolitano and Pirro, I cannot understand.
A lot of people forget on healthcare he's not an idealogue.
Exactly.
You hit it on the head. If Ryan is not removed, we know the ENTIRE
GOP is corrupt.
I saw that tweet this morning too. Is Trump going to try to push Ryan out after supporting his bill?
OK, I did not know that. Thanks.
Ryan has been a milk-tast since becoming the Speaker.
He’s been recognized by many of us as a GOPe lapdog.
During the primary season and leading up to the general election he was included as a person we loathed as part of the GOPe cabal.
He almost never stood up to Obama. He never took control of the purse strings and denied Obama anything to my knowledge.
We trashed the House for not exerting more control.
So here we are, Trump has been elected. We control the White House, the Senate and the House.
Now Ryan unveils his big plan. Low and behold, it’s another government health care bill. It wasn’t a repeal. It didn’t take care of what needed to be taken care of.
“Here, sign on to this new government plan, a mere modification of Obamacare. I know it’s not what you wanted, but trust me.”
This is like buying a new car. The salesman brings you the final paperwork. You say, but we agreed the price would be $5,000 dollars lower. He says, “Well, that comes in Phase III.”
Folks. This is Paul Ryan. You folks can remember him right?
For heaven’s sake, will you please act like it?
Sheesh x 10,000
I know that the politics of it, the left and their media argue that this is Trump’s failure because that suita their anti-Trump PR campaign. But it is not Trump’s failure. He’s been in office just 100 days and could not be expected to have a repeal and replace bill of his own in such short time. He relied on Ryan and the GOP leadership - that is his big mistake. But the failure to repeal is entirely the fault of Ryan who seems to not have an ideological filter through which he would be able to know what is right and what is wrong. So he gave the House a bill that was too tepid, too insipid. No matter if he offered full repeal or full doubling down on Obamacare either of those would give cover to congressmen to present to their constituents as a win. But if he gave them a bowl of watery rice nobody wants to eat that and so he could not get the votes.
I would also not put it past Ryan to have plotted to get a failed bill in order to push back against Trump.
A lot of people don't realize how good our bill was because they were viewing phase one. But when you add phase two — which was mostly the signings of Secretary Price, who's behind me — and you add phase three, which I think we would have gotten — it became a great bill. Premiums would have gone down and it would have been very stable, it would have been very strong.
I want to thank the Republican Party. I want to thank Paul Ryan — he worked very, very hard, I will tell you that. He worked very, very hard. Tom Price and Mike Pence — who’s right here — our Vice President, our great Vice President. Everybody worked hard. I worked as a team player and would have loved to have seen it passed.
Q And you're confident in Speaker Ryan's leadership and his ability to get things done?
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, I am. I like Speaker Ryan. He worked very, very hard. A lot of different groups, he's got a lot of factions. And there's been a long history of liking and disliking, even within the Republican Party, long before I got here. But I've had a great relationship with the Republican Party. It seems that both sides like Trump, and that's good. And you see that, I guess, more clearly than anybody.
Bump
I think Trump wrote her script. No wonder he told people to watch.
LOL, well at least he admits to it.
He's not positive we'd get Phase 3 either!
Trump is using Judge Janine to send a message to Ryan and the rest of the republican House.
Just added a little extra...
God knows I deeply respect Jim Robinson for what he has brought forth in Free Republic, and I would feel dreadful posting the profanity I am feeling towards Paul Ryan at this time because Jim would have no choice but to suspend me. Note though: I do NOT BLAME President Trump. I blame establishment RYAN for embarassing President Trump, and I symathize with President Trump for trusting Paul Ryan. IMO, Paul Ryan did the bidding of Insurance Indistry lobbyists, and he betrayed his party and his own constituents with the cold heart of Benedict Arnold. God forgive me, but I hope Paul Ryan is devoured by Biblical worms.
