"This is what I mean when I say being an effective opposition party. I think being an effective opposition party means being honest with people upfront about what it is we can and cannot achieve." - Speaker Paul "Squish" Ryan
Where would we be if our forebears had Ryan's fighting spirit?
Great "Ryan" moments in history:
"Give me Liberty, or give me whatever you want!" - Patrick "Ryan" Henry
"It's too cold here and the outcome is doubtful anyway, so we should all just go home and cozy up to the fire. To hell with the revolution." - General George "Ryan" Washington at Valley Forge
"I only have one life and I'll be damned if I'm going to give it up for any country!" - Nathan "Ryan" Hale
"Damn! Torpedoes ahead! Reverse course and flee at full speed!" - Admiral David "Ryan" Farragut
"We'll have peace in our time" - Neville "Ryan" Chamberlain (oops)
"I'm outta here and I shall not return!" - General Douglas "Ryan" Mac Arthur
"Nuts! They have us surrounded. We have no choice but to surrender!" - General Anthony "Ryan" McAuliffe
"Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what your country can do for you." - John "Ryan" Kennedy
"The Russians have installed missiles in Cuba that can nuke D.C. with virtually no warning. We must do whatever Kruschev demands." - John "Ryan" Kennedy
"Wipe the damn tapes clean already!" - Richard "Hillary-Ryan" Nixon
"Mr. Gorbachev, Build up this wall!" - Ronald "Ryan" Reagan
LOL!
About right. Eddie’s the poster child for the uniparty.
What a Country
It took 6 1/2 years to get rid of the last mistake, hoping this one gets primaried in ‘16.
He is one slick liar. Mark Levin played clips of how he told Mark we could dismantle Obamacare and it was all a lie. He is GOPe and that is a huge reason why Romney chose him as his VP in 2012. He fits right in with the sellouts.
It’s not an opposition party when it is in the majority. Maybe I’m wrong.
He must be referring to GOP opposing conservatives or in other wordsthe majority of Americans
He is so awful
In politics, the opposition comprises one or more political parties or other organized groups that are opposed to the government (or, in American English, the administration), party or group in political control of a city, region, state or country. It is the party that goes against another party.
Yeah, we’ve got another capitulating coward on our hands alright. That’s giving him the benefit of the doubt he’s not an out and out traitor.
the guy is a loser right out of the gate.
Next candidate for Speaker, please.
The squishy House Republican Caucus — incarnated in Paul Ryan. The Republican landslide of 2014 nullified by the Republican House. It was all in vain.
Excellent post! Speaker Paul “Squish” Ryan is dead on the mark.
Boehner II....as Napolitano said...Tweedle-Dee replaced with Tweedle-dum.
It’s “opposition party” because the President is from the other party.
We saw it coming and it's here.
No fire in the belly or he just doesn’t care about the issue.
I’m thinking that congress is equal to the executive.
Which it is.
Unless the people IN congress give away that power acting beyond their authority within the constitution
Ryan knows this. He’s not working to protect the constitution
The Freedom Caucus knew what they were getting and went for it. The betrayal is total. The Freedom Caucus has no more reason to exist. Why did they bother to depose Boehner? Maybe it embarrassed them that he is a public for real crybaby. I can’t tink of any other reason.
The Vichy Republican Party is very alive and prospering in Washington DC
