Paul Ryan will take the job if he has a
"formal endorsement from the Freedom Caucus before moving forward." Rino Peter King (R-NY): "If Paul Ryan can't unite us, no one can. Who else is out there?"
Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-SC), Freedom Caucus member:
“The displeasure with the way the House has been managed since 2011 is pervasive and crosses all sorts of philosophical boundaries within the party. The appetite for a new way of doing business is real, and whoever wants to be the speaker is going to have to speak to that.â€
Ryan has many credentials, & has won the endorsement from Harry Reid & Luis Gutierrez.
- supports amnesty & open borders; is in like flint with the CoC.
- voted for TARP, Cromnibus & the bloated Farm Bill
- worked w/ Senator Patty Murray to pass the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013,
which "busts the budget"- big advocate for O's global ObamaTrade
- voted for the Corker-Cardin bill
So if the House trades Ryan for McCarthy & Boehner, why, its the same gang running things! I say thumbs way down for Ryan. They sure are spending alot of time on this speakership quest. Maybe that's a good thing; slows down legislating which makes our lives harder.
