Do you think he should be removed? If not, why?
 
What would ousting Paul Ryan accomplish... really?
 
I do not think Ryan will have to be removed, as I think his time as Speaker will be short lived. I'd be surprised if he is Speaker for the 115th when it is all said done.

Same thing firing most coaches of pro sports teams does.

It matters little - as the replacement is usually no better then the former coach - but it satiates the fans.
 
The Omnibus bill obviously. The turd rolled over and played dead.

So this is the weekly "OMG, he did not get everything we wanted, only some stuff, so clearly he is a RINO and we should shun him" thread?

Why should he be removed?

Boehner was no good, to some, because he couldn't get things done the way you wanted them done, so in comes Ryan. Ryan gets things done, and now some claim he's no good because he got things done.

As a resident of Virginia, I'd suggest you need to talk to your friends and acquaintances in your state and ask them why they keep sending two Democrat Senators and a Democrat President to Washington which makes it exceedingly more difficult to get things done the way you want them done.

There is one other solution - that's to nominate Trump as the Republican Presidential candidate and then you'll have a good shot at blaming Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer in 2017.

"Gets things done", are actually going to come in here with that simplistic view. It's WHAT he's getting done and not done that concerns me. Pushing through a $1.1T omnibus bill without question is not getting things done.

He's a politician - that's what this culture's politicians do. They're certainly not there to represent the American people. He's reached the "P-Level" - the real "1%" - and just like reaching the C-Level in the corporate world, he's safe to do whatever he pleases, please whomever he wishes, and reap massive rewards regardless whom he displeases.

Americans shouldn't be surprised for irrespective of our politics, it's what we've allowed to happen over the past century - presumably because it's precisely what we wanted to happen.

With two Virgina Republican Senators as opposed to two Virginia Democrat Senators and with a Republican in the White House, the WHAT may be a little different next time. Governing is getting what you can with the numbers you've got. Help give Ryan better numbers to work with next election. What's simplistic is thinking that a marginal majority in the Senate and Democrat President makes it easy for the Republican House to get laws enacted.

If you recall, Pelosi was positioning herself to take over as Speaker when a replacement for Boehner could not be agreed upon. Ryan's handling of this seems to be okay with both parties this time, as both got what they wanted - not everything of course, since that never flies, but the most important things. The only people that appear to be unhappy with things seem to be posting on here. :werd:
 
I don't think the GOP is going to be able to get ANY speaker who won't roll over and compromise. It simply can't be done. The party is too shattered.
 
The bill got some of what Republicans wanted, some of what Democrats wanted, and is a continuation of the American tradition of ****ing the next generation's economic prospects with a broken bottle. In other words, an amazing political success!

Lol...yeah, thinking that a different Speaker (from either party) is going to help America's future is like a guy who is about to be executed complaining that he wants the executioner to wear a different colored shirt when he flips the switch.

It matters little, you're ****ed either way.


Both parties are worse then useless...why should the Speakers they appoint be any different?

Only a drunken T-party go-er would want Ryan removed.

He has achieved the only compromise in the Senate in over 7 years.

Who told you we should compromise any further with democrats? At some point the right has to stand up for what they believe in and refuse to move the country any further left. If they refuse to stand up for what they believe in then they might as well believe in nothing.
 
I'd like to think that they see the end of the road and this is their last "**** you" to America. But, that's just wishful thinking.

With one possible exception: Remember when Boehner and Obama were negotiating with just each other, and they had an agreement? UNTIL Obama wanted to run it by Pelosi and Reid, who told him to ask for billions more that was never in the original agreement they were negotiating? Of course Boehner couldn't sell that to his people, so it died! Naturally it was "blame the Republicans" :bs: that the MSM dutifully screamed about, but that was never the truth! :2mad:

That was no compromise, it was a give away.

Chuck Schumer (COMMIE-NY), he glowed and gloated in amazement at being a member of the minority party and being able to accomplish so much destruction, exactly the same as if Democrats were still in the majority:

“If you have told me — this year — that we’d be standing here, celebrating the passage of an Omnibus bill, with no poison pill riders, at higher levels above sequester than even the president requested, I wouldn’t have believed it.

But here we are. This bill is a great victory for the principles Democrats stand for.”
