Rep. Luis Gutierrez says Paul Ryan would be a good Speaker and work w/ Dems. Then says he probably just hurt Ryan’s chances by saying that. ........... From my perspective, Ryan would be a bad choice. To my knowledge, no one in the House understands budgetary-type issues better than Ryan, and this, along with an apparently stellar personality, is the source of the high esteem in which he correctly is held.
However, when it comes to certain other issues, it’s sometimes difficult to distinguish Ryan from a bleeding-heart liberal. Immigration is an excellent example. In 2013, Ryan was highly sympathetic to the push for amnesty for illegal immigrants (though he objected to the term). In fact, he appeared at a pro-amnesty rally alongside liberal Democrat Luis Gutierrez, the most strident amnesty monger in the House. In addition, he pitched the alleged economic benefits of amnesty to his House colleagues. http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2015/10/will-paul-ryan-be-the-next-speaker-i-hope-not.php "The Budget" can more or less take care of the illegal immigration/amnesty problem. |

"On Friday’s program of the Howie Carr radio show, conservative icon and best-selling author Ann Coulter announced that she will accept Rep. Paul Ryan's challenge to debate the Obama-Rubio mass amnesty plan.
In 2013, Paul Ryan declared, “I will debate anybody who tries to suggest that these ideas that are moving through Congress [the ‘Gang of Eight’ plan] are amnesty.” That pledge is still featured on his website to this day. “You’ve got to get a call into his office and tell him I’ll debate him,” Coulter told Howie Carr. “Seriously, put in a call to his office. We’ll do it on your radio [show].” Coulter suggested she wouldn’t have a hard time taking on Ryan. “Did anybody else see his debate with Biden?” she asked." Anne Coulter has accepted his open challenge: http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/10/09/ann-coulter-accepts-paul-ryans-challenge-debate-marco-rubios-amnesty-bill/ |

Quoted:
As soon as Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) shocked his fellow Republicans by withdrawing from the race for House speaker, Paul Ryan knew what was coming. “I will not be a candidate,” the Wisconsin Republican said in a release issued less than 20 minutes after McCarthy’s stunning Thursday announcement, in an immediate bid to cut off any pressure for him to do a job he has repeatedly said he does not want. But this time, it didn’t take. By mid-afternoon, outgoing speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) had spoken to Ryan at least twice, trying to convince the reluctant congressman that he was the only man who could save House Republicans from their self-created chaos. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/under-speaker-pressure-signs-pointing-to-a-reluctant-paul-ryan/2015/10/08/101a296c-6dff-11e5-aa5b-f78a98956699_story.html No thanks.

Why the fuck would we want to give the Democrats millions of new net voters, and then tens of millions more through chain migration? It's the worst strategic decision the Republicans could possibly make. It is good, though, for maximizing short term campaign contributions from Chamber of Commerce scumbags, and for lining up a post-congressional career as a consultant or a lobbyist for Big Stupid Business. |
