In other words, Paul Ryan is saying he is for amnesty do or die to the end no matter what. His donor class demands it.

The “we” in “retake” is that cheap labor dunor class.

The “moral high ground” means destroying the Republican base and the voters who they are calling immoral for even voting, this whole voting thing has got to stop and “top down establishment rule” is the “high ground”, that’s why it is so important pro-amnesty authoritarians of the government class like Hillary ade elected, whatever it takes to stop the anti-establishment upstarts like Trump, after all there are millions of Mexicans who are delending on Ryan and the donor class who want their nice elderly grand parents to get into the US and enroll in all sorts of government class benefits that will give them a nice retirement they never paid for along with the important lifetime goverrnment retirement plans for the great civil servants of our morally superior government class.

Stop the barbarians like the middle class.

They think their money will protect them from their treason. When the time comes, their armed guards will run away, their castles will crumble, and they’ll face the storm naked and afraid.

Kadhaffi, rumored to be the richest man in the world with an estimated wealth of $200 billion, surrounded himself with an elite palace guard and a mercenary army. He ended up shot dead with his own gold-plated glock on the hood of an SUV.

I seriously doubt if Trump wins, Republicans will become liberals. What proof do you have of that? A handful of whiners being cry babies. Sad that they lost all their power.

All I see is Trump expanding the GOP base ...all except for the whiney GOP elites.

Quite frankly, nobody is going to miss those folks if they leave the GOP. The more political corruption we get rid of the happier we’ll all be.

Getting rid of Boehnerite RINOs like Ryan is step one.

Ryan needs to go get a real job . . .

Agreed.

Ryan talking about the “soul” of anything seems about as hypocritical as one could be.


Ryan is a wealthy beltway careerist. He has no soul or any empathy whatsoever for Main Street USA.

What he really means is that he’s in a fight to utterly divorce the republican party from the will of its constituents - in order to guarantee Washington’s professional pols plenty of access to bank accounts, office space, tenure, perks, and privileges, all on the public teat.


It’s no secret plan. Ryan is just following the 2012 autopsy report to move the GOP left. He is so dangerous because of his faux conservative “street cred.”

I certainly don’t doubt that. I’m an old fart of impressions formed decades ago. Two examples stand out in my mind: Eddie from the Munsters and that smart assed Eddie Haskell from “Leave it to Beaver.”

I just don’t like his arrogant, smarmy-assed look, frankly.

Moral high ground is NOT giving Obama every damn thing he wants.

But he will continue to give Obama everything he wants, and especially helping to pass TPP! After all, Paul Ryan is a Globalist like all the Democrats and most Republicans in DC.

Trump’s opposition to free-trade deals, his comments about Muslims, and his plan to deport 11 million illegal immigrants have all contributed to the Koch network’s decision not to spend a penny of its $250 million 2016 budget in support of the billionaire nominee.>>> yup liberal people who want to take over a conservative party. bye bye.
