After Getting His Ass Kicked By Obama, Paul Ryan Tries to Boss Around Barack
Showing that he learned absolutely nothing from getting his ass kicked on Election Day, Paul Ryan returned to the House to whine about Obama’s leadership and boss around the president.
In an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Ryan went back to his old talking point that Obama needs to show leadership,
Ryan said he and others “want to make sure that we fix this in a way that doesn’t hurt the economy. We’ve put out ideas. The House Republicans have put out specific solutions. The president and the Senate have yet to do that. In order to get things done, in order to reach common ground, both sides need to put out, not just rhetoric, but specific ideas on the table. Then you negotiate. We’re hopeful that the president will begin to show some leadership on this and some other issues so that we can begin to get common ground.”
Asked if increased revenue could be part of the solution to the deficit, Ryan said, “Yes, you can increase revenues without having to raise tax rates. Our fear is that if you raise tax rates you hurt economic growth. You hurt small businesses. So through tax reform you can get higher revenues without damaging the economy. We think that’s the better way to go.”
Paul Ryan got clobbered by Obama across the country. He and his ideas couldn’t carry his home state. Ryan even lost in his own hometown. Yet, Rep. Ryan believes his in a position to tell the president what to do.
Rep. Ryan doesn’t seem to understand that has zero leverage here. He didn’t lose a push up contest. He and his ideas were on the ballot, and were soundly defeated by the American people. Paul Ryan wants to pretend that he wasn’t damaged by the sinking of the USS Romney, but he has the captain’s right hand man as the ship went down.
The myth of policy wonk Paul Ryan was widely debunked. Ryan was revealed to be a numbers guy who doesn’t have any numbers. Outside of Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan is the last person on earth who should even be attempting to tell Obama what to do.
What Ryan doesn’t get is that there aren’t going to be any intense negotiations this time.
Here is some math that even Paul Ryan can understand. Either he and the other extremists in the House give the president a tax hike on the wealthy, or the Bush tax cuts will be allowed to expire and Ryan and his party will have raised taxes on every American.
Paul Ryan’s opinion is no longer relevant to this conversation, so it would be best for the little boy who helped keep Wisconsin blue, to go find a nice corner, lick his wounds, and keep his mouth closed.

Arrogant, know-nothing, little weasel. Never has a more undeserving pair been kicked to the curb in such a forceful manner by the American people. Go away creep, never sully our airwaves again.

I do not even know why he was allowed to return.
he should have to quit his current job to run for the next.
Clearly he did not have any faith in his chances to win, and wanted to make sure he could stay working.
He is a sore loser and part of the problem.

Lyin’ Ryan is just like a lot of other Republicans who either got schooled like the GOP representatives during the health care reform debates or smoked in elections like Mcain-Palin, and Alan Keys, as well as himself and Romney. He’s like them because they never learn not to underestimate this president in spite of the fact that he keeps wiping the floor with them. The mystery is why he was re-elected his seat in the House when the very same ideas he espouses were rejected in the presidential election. The only thing that makes sense is that his region was gerrymandered.

His district is very rural and has been Republican for quite a while. There have not been really credible challengers until lately. This district needs a lot of work to educate people to his program to voucherize medicare, free market social security, take away all forms of birth control except the rhythm method AND his utter devotion to Ayn Rand. Then he will lose. They learned a lot more this last cycle. Hopefully in 2014 he will lose.

“We’re hopeful that the president will begin to show some leadership” – Ayn Paul
Right there, you condescending punks. You clearly demonstrate that you are incapable of learning and applying knowledge. Keep being disrespectful, you Republican jerks. Keep lying to the mindless bigots that are your base. Keep it up, please.
It feeds my determination to show the Republican Party the door in 2014.

This pseudoChristian shill tried to effectively destroy the USA with austerity programs to give the rich much more wealth by destroying the middle class and putting the poor on the streets with no hope whatsoever…point is,when the rich own everything who will buy these corporations products??? And when the inevitable riots grip the country will the wealthy pay for their fun? Not likely,as most if not all will skip the country, and watch the panic and killing spread…their very own LIVE gladiator show. Someone should get it through his Eddie Munster head You cannot serve both God and Mammon.

lying Ryan didn’t really want the VP job! He was bought to be the other partner of their (r) hopeful! His infor for the country was not what the country was into, strict religious belief! His story bits now, are the results of his home state going Blue! If he runs for the President in 2016, his lost election will be ‘awesome’! The election saves us from putting Palin, Portman, McCain and others to govern these united states! Woman’s issues were 2nd to conservative party!

“The House Republicans have put out specific solutions. The president and the Senate have yet to do that.” Absolute BS. The jobs bill that R’s absolutely refused was never put out???

Exactly.
““The House Republicans have put out specific solutions”
Not during the campaign, they didn’t. All we heard from Ryan when pressed for specifics was:
“I don’t want to go all wonky on you.”
“We don’t have time to go into it.”
“You’ll just change the channel” (if I try to explain it).
Did the House Republicans step up and say “What he means is…”
Nope. {{Crickets}} from them.

That skinny bully couldn’t win a pushup contest with Hillary. Remember Michelle beating Ellen at pushups? Ryan is such a whiny little nobody. He thinks he’s still popular with some phantom base that will certainly choose HIM in 2016. I mean, he won his House seat right? Barely.
Sorry, Paul, you are wrong. Still. And I do hope Democrats are strong enough to let those tax cuts expire. Every damn one of them. We are a better country when we have money to fix things. The Tea Party is wrong. You are wrong. That’s why we voted you OUT last week and voted for real leadership.

LilPaulieBoy is the stereotypical RePig Evangelibagger Fascist and Obstructionist. Learned nothing, but has such an enormous ego he does not realize he has ZERO respect of the American people. Let’s do America a huge favor and show all of them the Exit door in 2013~Their inane insanity makes me ill.
And btw, everyone BEWARE of Sen. Bob Corker of TN – he suddenly is all over the MSM and being projected as a “moderate”. He is not a moderate, just wears the clothes and uses his Chattanooga accent to sound like he is nice guy – he is NOT.

Lyin Ryan needs some lessons of humility! Obama won, Americans Won! He unfortunately won his seat back! The women that won will run him over and make scream, when they show their common sense to start taxing the rich! I would start by rolling back their salaries, ladies! Cut their pensions and health benefits to 1990′s levels. They would not be allowed 6 week vacations at a time. That would be the max for the year! No Bills passed No Pay! 70,000 salary. They have to show their taxes before they take their oaths!
No more Lifetime salary/pension. They get paid for the time served. They had lucrative careers before entering Congress. They need to earn the amount that middle class earn. No more than $100,000!
They also need to learn Manners and training to become more sensitive to their constituents issues! No more Super Pacs! Loopholes have to be closed Permanently! The majority of the Congress do not have young families so they don’t need to raise their children through taxpayer’s money! Perhaps if they have their salaries cut, they will start listening to their counterparts more effectively and get the jobs done that they are elected to do!

How deranged is the Republican Party
It would take too long to explain
Which makes them number wonks
According to no one except a guy who worshiped Ayn Rand who inspired him to go into public office but amazingly he didn’t know about the most important and WELL KNOWN fact of Ayn Rand, that she hated Christianity, and called it “The best kindergarten for Communism possible”. Now he recants Ayn Rand’s teachings, but continues on the same path that Ayn Rand inspired him to: destroying civilization from within. Al Queda could learn a thing or two from Republicans.

Why, oh WHY do we have to keep giving this ignorant twit attention! IGNORE him and he will go AWAY!
The only reason he got reelected to his House seat was because, unfortunately, Rob Zerban didn’t get a whole lot of help from the Democratic Committee and was fighting for that position all on his own. It WAS a rather close race even given that! If he HAD had help, I do believe he could have taken that seat away and we wouldn’t be still hearing from Lyin’ Ryan!!

No candidate gets help from the “party” if you dont have a substantial war chest by March of election year. Meaning, you have to have your own money OR be bought and paid for already.

Ryan and the rest of the republicans in Congress had better learn to pay closer attention to reputable polls. Ignoring the more accurate polls is what left Romney/Ryan “shell shocked” on election night when they discovered that PBO had been re-elected. A new Pew Poll shows that if the government goes over the fiscal cliff, a majority of Americans will blame the republicans.

Ryan thinks reforming the tax codes will increase revenue, but the question he leaves unanswered is this: WHO is going to pay that EXTRA revenue ? ?
The middle and low-income classes, the ultra-wealthy, or small businesses ? ?
If he is suggesting that the ultra-wealthy and/or small businesses should pay more to increase revenue, then just how is that going to affect the economy LESS than by raising taxes on these very same groups/people ?
Or, is he really suggesting that the burden of raising revenue should fall on the middle and low-income classes, as we have suspected all along ?
Somehow, it doesn’t really add up, his “math” will either place a greater burden on the ultra-wealthy and small businesses, or it will increase the burden for those in the middle and low-income classes.
Why can’t he just be honest and tell us who he expects to pay down the debt ?
And also explain why, if this is the case, he expects the middle and low-income classes to pay for the party that destroyed the national economy, when they didn’t get to enjoy the party ? ?

I hope that we remember this in 2014. I do not trust the most radical of the Republicans at all. Not a sliver.. We need to start working now to replace him and the rest of the T-party representatives… they came in with a flourish. they can go out in a flurry.

L’ayn Ryan is not an economist, he is a bookkeeper or at most an accountant without a CPA certification. Who would take his advice on Federal budget matters? He and Rmoney never gave any specifics on their tax plan or anything else. President Obama has more “real world” experience and graduated from Harvard Law magna cum laude. I think I’ll stick with President Obama and L’ayn can pound sand.

Just like McCain and Palin..they thought IT WAS IN THE BAG running against the black guy! NO ONE WILL VOTE FOR HIM! They too fooled themselves. They refuse to listen to the people. The refuse to listen to the informed that they think are their constituency. The informed are not Republican. IMHO the LEFT is far more intellectual than the right. Clearly more educated and less bigoted. McConnel/Boehner always come out saying..the people asked us to NOT RAISE TAXES ON THE RICH. They have spoken. Riiight..Okaaay.. what people? How do they do that with not one constituent calling them out and cussing them out? Who is this constituency that back the very party that destroyed them and their country and lie to them daily???? How do you deny that? Who are you and why are you so hell bent on suffering and so dam hardheaded about a good life? Why do you deny your children a peaceful all around encompassing environment with potential for a prosperous life? Why? Now they’re shocked that Obama won. As if! Never once reflecting on themselves and what they were trying to pass as laws against women, blacks, immigrants, latinos, you name it they hated us all. Some GOP are admitting their insane policies are what scared everyone away—but there are still the diehards who will DENY that till they die. They thought we would VOTE GOP after all the insanity they offered. HOW UTTERLY INSANELY STUPID DO YOU THINK WE AMEIRCANS ARE? WE ARE NOT your constituency! But the GOP constituency should be very very greatful to the LEFT for saving them from themsevles. We are the AMERICANS who know what the country should be like and its not part of the GOP vision. BECAUSE THE GOP HAS NO VISION. All they see is RED …blood of their citizens suffering under their rule while they get the GREENbacks and live the life from the corporations. I wish ALL RED STATES COULD SECEDE. They would have thee most incredible austere life known man…maybe then they would notice the GOP doesn’t give a shit about them
