How did ryan ever get chosen for speaker of the house? I still believe his agenda is to do President Trump harm. Think about it. Ryan lead President Trump to an embarrassing result regarding obama care. I dont believe hes done.

What a pile of s—. Paul is so out of touch with those who have made this country great that he is totally incapable of making an intelligent and informed decision on anything which effects the life and welfare of the average American citizen. He should go home and apply for a street cleaning position!!! I have put 84 years of effort in making this country what is was a few years ago – before Obama – and it turns my stomach what these ‘tea party twits’ are attempting to do to those who have given them their very existence !!!

If Chief Justice Roberts can declare the President has the right to tax, and that the PP/ACA is a tax, can’t President Trump lift or wave the tax? Health Insurance is not health care – it’s legalized gambling. The buyer is gambling they’ll need it and the insurance company [the house] is gambling it won’t have to pay out more than it takes in. The house is winning. Americans should not be forced to gamble. What’s next? Everyone will have to buy lottery tickets, on the spin it helps support education. If insurance can not stand on its own, its not a good plan.

Here we have Paul Ryan. Claims to be a conservative, yet has a “F” Liberty Score on ConservativeReview.com.

Chuck Schumer has an F. Nancy Pelosi has an F. Harry Reid had an F.

Ryan runs in that same crowd.

Don’t believe a WORD of what he says.

The “Conservatives” and the “Moderates” did not support the Ryan Bill because they did not trust the Speaker. Nor do I. The House Leadership said “Trust Me” we will move on to Phase 2 and Phase 3. There is NOTHING to stop the Secretary of HHS to move on to Phase 2, – NOTHING. So, show us that you mean it. Use the provisions in Obamacare which allow the Secretary to make changes to gut Obamacare. Perhaps if you do that you will get the support of Conservatives and Moderates because they will see that you are serious and can be trusted.

Why is it that the “conservatives” in DC think that we just need to improve on what the liberals tried to force on the American people. The Government needs to completely remove themselves from the health care business all together. Stop trying to “improve” on the notion that we need the governments infinite wisdom to tell us what kind of health care needs we need. It is time the government get out of the health care business and just stick to Making America Great Again.

Progressive fascism has counted upon continuing conciliatory agreements from the dismal cadre of ‘republican’ leaders since the early 1900’s — WHERE has that gotten us or any nation.

Do not trust EITHER party’s leadership… and that includes even Trump as he was ready to cave to Ryan’s ‘compromise’ on ‘obie-care.’ (Beware when the Donald – if he feels he ultimately loses face, shall have a propensity to succumb to compromise as well. In general, find myself pleasantly surprised at the president’s actions, BUT shall remain always alert and not be surprised if he should as Lady Thatcher once admonished the first Bush… “Don’t go wobbly on me now , George!”

Again, as for the fetid putrescence of the House Leader….NEVER TRUST

Paul “HE AIN’T NO REVERE” Ryan

Why is it that the left is so good at marching in lock step and we can’t unify enough to get a bill passed with majorities in House and Senate. The pied piper from the last administration would have had a string of anti-American bills passed in the first week. I know our Congress dislikes the Sitting President, but do they dislike America more? It certainly seems that way. UNIFY! Rat out the shadow government Obama left behind! Move forward! Save our country, Dammit!

As for as i am concerned Paul Ryan is as conservative as John McCain.The GOP and Donald Trump promise totally and completely repeal Obamacare not replace or repair it I DIDN’T VOTE FOR MR. TRUMP FOR THIS then President Trump goes after the Freedom Caucus for living up to His and the GOP PROMISE.Now PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS HE GOING GO AFTER THEM AND PUNISH THEM FOR STAYING TRUE TO WHAT THEY PROMISE THE AMERICAN LIKE ME AND YOU WAKE UP AMERICAN PEOPLE YOU DON’T SOCIALIZE MEDICINE BEEN AND DONE THAT GOT THE T-SHRIT TO PROVE IT SO PRESIDENT TRUMP CAN MARK IT OFF HIS LIST TO DO. SUPPORT PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THANK THE FREEDOM CAUCUS EVERY TRUE CONSERVATIVE CONGRESSMAN AND SENATOR FOR STANDING STRONG LET MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!!!!!

One of the most valid complaints about Obamacare was that it was passed before ANYONE knew what was in it. Palosi had already complained that RyanCare was being pushed even faster. Well, now that complaint is NON-VALID because the MUST pass bill didn’t pass. THAT’S A GOOD THING! Now the bill can be reconsidered and made complete before being passed. That’s the way it’s SUPPOSED to be done.

It is apparent after this fiasco that Ryan and McConnell are so clueless, they don’t even know what an ‘A’ game is. There was no excuse to submit an ill prepared, ill conceived plan. I think that we will just see more of the same ineptitude on the next pieces of legislation. Are there any adults there that have read the Contract with the American People? That plan is what won Trump the White House. Neither McConnell or Ryan had the guts to run on a contract and distanced themselves from Trump and US! So they either go with the Contract in its’ entirety or step aside if they’re not up to the job. No excuses!

I am a conservative that also is a pragmatic person. No extreme agenda will pass either the House or Senate as the people there are politicians that need support, albeit often minor, from democrats and certainly independents. An agenda that speaks to our Constitution and one that limits the power of the federal government. One example is the government has no business being in any industry and that includes health care insurance. They have proven by the incompetent and corrupt way that they cannot do anything that results in a benefit to the majority. Everything they do speaks to small independent constituencies hoping collectively they come out winners. The democrats are expert in proclaiming a different story for every stand alone group and they get away with it.

Some form of consensus will be required to pass almost any legislation now and in the foreseeable future. As a perfect example of the intentional destruction of OUR Country, simply pay attention to the childish and irresponsible manner in which democrats. liberals and progressives, long with pseudo-socialists are behaving in Congress and on the streets of America. It is as close to disgusting as I have witnessed in my 73 years.

I was a business owner that fired many clients because I didn’t like what they stood for. Imagine today if one of them was gay. Are you kidding me? Our rights and freedom are being taken away and all we do is write comments under a non-article. Who really gives a crap about who attended the meeting with the RINO Paul Ryan? Nothing will come of it other than a bunch of non-articles being written.

My view is that POTUS should get Reince Priebus out of any position in the White House. Priebus represents the anti-conservative leanings of the “Good-Old-Boy” network of the RNC as he ran it. Speaker Ryan is, at best, heavily influenced by the group-think legacy of Priebus and the RNC leadership. Unfortunately POTUS relies on Priebus for his help, which I believe explains the recent heavy bias of the POTUS tweets that seek to reduce the influence of the Freedom Caucus – that represents the thinking of many of the voters who elected Pres. Trump and restored a Republican majority to the House and Senate – in the hope of picking up a few Democratic votes to help get the “Ryancare” bill passed quickly. This heavy influence of the RNC – as Priebus ran it – should not be in position to sway POTUS so completely as obviously (to me) it is doing as evidenced by the mentioned tweets. If this undue influence persists, we will see the “Ryan-care ” bill passed in the House, and if it is passed by the Senate in anything like its current form, then signed by the POTUS, this will dash any hope for Pres. Trump to enjoy Republican leadership in Congress post 2018. Speaker Ryan and POTUS need to listen to the voice of the majority of Conservative American voters who gave them the Congress and the Presidency. That voice is clearly articulated by the Freedom Caucus. Finally, if the “Ryancare” bill must be passed before a Tax Cut bill can be presented, then acknowledge that it is this and pass it as something like a tax bill-enabling bill. Just don’t expect us to believe that the “Ryancare” bill fulfills the promise of repealing and replacing Obamacare.

It is a poor excuse to talk, which seems they did not do when they were considering the repel and replace of Obama Care. We hear a lot of talk but little action. Best get off of their butts and begin to work for the “We the People” instead of their own interests. We had a chance to get rid of something that was harmful to the people of this country, but because of politics and pride they let the people down. It is time the We the People get our country back.

We sent our Representatives to DC to repeal Obamacare and eventually replace it. The President made a mistake hitching his wagon to Ryan’s. Paul Ryan knew what Trump voters wanted, but instead he presented his secret version of O-care Lite. It still contained anti-market & government spending. It seems Mr. Ryan is a wolf in sheep’s clothing which is to say, he speaks of conservative values but marches to the Establishment’s music.

The meeting would have been more productive if the thirteen conservative leaders had been meeting with a real conservative and an effective leader. How is it possible for Republicans to send prior “Repeal” bills to President Obama and then fail to do so when they own the White House”. That failure falls squarely on Speaker Ryan. He should resign and allow someone who can get the job done take over in the House.

True conservatives did not suffer a setback last week. What was proposed was not a conservative bill. It was a RINO bill. We need to stick to our guns (no pun intended) and repeal Obamacare, stop illegal immigration, cut back big government, and restore the personal freedoms the Constitution was written to guarantee us!

Speaker Ryan talks the talk, but he doesn’t walk the walk. Conspicuously absent from that meeting were Jenny Beth Martin,, leader of The Tea Party Patriots, Larry Arn, or at least a representative from Hillsdale College; a member of the Heritage Foundation, and someone from Judicial Watch, Those organizations should also have been included. I don’t know what the results of that meeting were, but I believe I can tell you this: Speaker Ryan probably got an earful of what needs to be done to save this country; but sadly, he is a member of the Washington establishment, and won’t pay diddly squat attention to what was decided at that meeting. Pay attention to what I’m saying folks. He is all smoke and mirrors, and very little, if anything agreed upon at that meeting will be acted upon by the House of Representatives. Speaker Ryan is simply blowing smoke up those folks’ derrieres.

The party of limited government has to find a way to phase out government-controlled healthcare while phasing in free-market healthcare that is affordable. Thinking this could be done in one fell swoop a couple of months after Trump took office produced a half-way bill the people had no time to digest. Craft something that will work and then sell it to us – explain it over time: not for political points but compassionate, rational, broad-based solutions.

Paul Ryan is good at talking about how he is all about conservative principles. Then he proceeds to push solutions that are anything but fiscally and constitutionally conservative in nature. Most of his so-called conservative solutions are, in fact, very pro big government solutions. Latest example was his solution to Obamacare. Not a repeal, that the GOP has been promising the American public for seven years now, but rather an amended form of Obamacare carried out in an unworkable, multi-step, multi-year solution. An unnecessarily overly-complex approach that even most members of his own party realized would never be fully enacted or realistically achieve the desired results he promised.

The next major item up for the Ryan approach is looking to be tax reform. Where he introduces the concept of a VAT-style tax to our tax code in the form of a Border Adjustment Tax (BAT). Again, rather than pursuing a true fiscally and constitutionally conservative approach, cut taxes and reduce federal spending as Trump’s own campaign tax reform plan outlined, Ryan is instead heading down the path of proposing a new tax to “pay” for a tax cut. The BAT is designed to “raise government revenues”, that’s taxes in government speak, to the tune of ONE TRILLION DOLLARS over the next 10 years to offset the proposed tax cut. This is the standard government approach of stealing from the right hand with the left hand and calling it a “tax cut”. Anyway, you get the idea. The various Ryan solutions all look like this in one way or another. A far better and fairer approach to tax reform is what was proposed by Trump’s own economic advisors.

As to the event depicted above, the most important thing to note is the cameras. This was a photo op for Paul Ryan to be shown meeting with a group of conservative leaders. He needed to create a bit of positive PR after his Obamacare fiasco. It’s all about trying to maintain his image for the voters back home. He is already positioning himself for his next re-election bid.
