BREAKING: Paul Ryan’s PAC Elected Democrat Conor Lamb
Big League Politics ^ | 03/14/2018 | Wall Crane

Posted on 03/14/2018 11:32:27 AM PDT by Rusty0604

In the most astonishingly bone-headed move since nominating Mitt Romney for President, the GOP establishment spent major cash to help elect Democrat Conor Lamb in last night’s highly contested PA-18 special election.

Yes, you read that right. Failed Vice Presidential Candidate Paul Ryan and his Congressional Leadership Fund pushed a Democrat to victory over a Republican with direct mail advertising touting support “for our Second Amendment Rights.”

I’ll repeat that again. A so-called GOP PAC led by Paul Ryan spent thousands of dollars in a direct mail campaign to convince voters that Conor Lamb was a conservative who would protect American’s gun rights in Congress.

Years ago, John Kasich did something like this for Gary Condit of CA.

I’ve always thought that the gop might deliberately throw this election, losing the house and senate, just so that Trump would be impeached or unable to get anything accomplished. The gop and dnc and different sides of the same counterfeit coin.

Ryan is destructive and must be replaced asap.
That may not be possible until next year.

That mail campaign certainly meed a 1,000+ vote difference.

I hope Trump calls Ryan into account for it.

Publicly.

Paul Ryan a backstabber?

The globalists are powerful, and won’t be damaged easily.

Unfortunately, very few Americans understand what is happening.

That’s exactly what they want to do.

They also wanted to throw the election to Hillary by nominating Super-Dud Jeb Bush, and they’re pissed as Hell that we didn’t let them.

Targeted at the correct people, this could be smart. Send it to pro-gun control liberals and you could depress turnout a bit. Hard to blame the Republican party for this after 10 million dollars spent on one house seat.

Ryan is leaving. He will show and is showing his true colors that are governed by his wife

I smell fake news...done by photoshop.

If you go to the website, it is completely anti-Lamb.

No one "got elected"

The "Lamb" in this case was a message to the totally failed leftist democrat party to stop with the everyone has rights boojit and climb on the conservative train.

I live in District 18 and it will be re-drawn before the election, so Lamb more than likely won't even be part of the race.

What he DID do was run TV ads that were almost as conservative as Ronald Reagan, just like odumbo did commenting on the 2000 dem convention

Remember THAT one ?

The guy sounded like a conservative, not red, nor blue but red white and blue.

The college kids ate it up and we had eight years of destruction.

Could be. If so, my apologies to Ryan. Of course he’s probably done something else we don’t know about.
