Paul Ryan Seals Republican Support, Declares Bid For House Speaker

Tyler Durden's picture




 

One week ago he said he has no interest in the Speaker position, but so much can change in one week. Moments ago Paul Ryan sent out a letter to the GOP announcing he would run for speaker of the house. And since he had previously said said he would only enter the speaker’s race if he could lock up support from three wings of the fractious party, in the space of just 3 days this week, he appears to have done just that.

Letter below:

And with that the question over who the next house speaker will be is answered.

The only outstanding question now is how Ryan will handle the debt ceiling issue, which, however, as we said earlier is just a formality at this point, and the expansion of the U.S. debt ceiling target to $19.6 trillion is merely a matter of days.

This is just more proof that the leaders don't give a fuck what the voters think once they have been elected.

All you need to know about Ryan is that he is pro-amnesty, pro-immigration, pro-open borders... He is in fact, worse than Bonehead... 

The GOP is done, stick a fork in them... The Constitution is effectively dead.. Your elected officials are not looking out after your best interests, but those of the globalists, call them by whatever name you wish... The screws are tightening and there is a quickening of actions against the people of all sovereign nations... Act accordingly...

definition, from more right-leaning conservatives, defines "cuckservative" as a member of the American conservative media[8] or the Republican political elite[9] who is a "sell out",[10] having bought into all of the key premises of the left,[5] and is enthralled with liberal values.[3] The term is used to express "contempt for mainstream conservatives"[11] similarly to the phrase Republican In Name Only (RINO).[12] Social conservatives who use the term condemn what they see as Republicans running on socially conservative values to appeal to their base during an election cycle, only to use vote trading to compromise on those values while in office.[11] Critics of the identity politics used by the Democratic party say that such Republicans capitulate on social issues because of political correctness in the media and the fear of being called "racist," "sexist" or "homophobic"[8] – and in doing so have surrendered their moral authority to the left.[13] The term "cuckold" has a long history as an insult impugning that men are weak and emasculated, and feel pleasure at their own humiliation because of sexual masochism. The term "cuckservative" similarly impugns that male Republicans are humiliated though their actions,[14] while feeling thrilled and excited from their own degradation[15] because of the abandonment of their own moral standards.[15][16]

The republicans won't hold themselves accountable for the crooks they vote in. Or financial calamity they are co-responsible for.

You can't reason with them. They view themselves as exceptional. They are pure in intent and purpose. It is someone else's fault they aren't allowed to be exceptional.

The GOP are a FAKE opposition party. The Demonrats and the GOP both are committed to replacing the Whites, the dispossessed majority.
Once you understand that, then you can more accurately gauge what is going on, and what is most likely to happen.

Paul Ryan has two-decade history of advocating open borders

The NRA will fall. It’s inevitable. Just look at the demographics. The Washington Post, October 19, 2015
by Adam Winkler professor at UCLA School of Law

The fastest-growing minority group in America is Latinos. Between 2000 and 2010, the nation’s Latino population grew by 43 percent. Hispanics, which make up 17 percent of the population today, are expected to grow to 30 percent of the population in the coming decades.

Gun control is extremely popular among Hispanics, with 75 percent favoring gun safety over gun rights.

Asian Americans also represent a growing anti-gun demographic. Although only about 5 percent of the population today, the Asian American population is predicted to triple over the next few decades. A recent poll of Asian American registered voters found that 80 percent supported stricter gun laws.

Jews and Jewish organizations lead the gun control campaign

And by successfully changing immigration policy, Jews have reduced the political power of the rural White subculture of America to the point that even though roughly 7 in 10 White males voted Republican (and ~60% of White females), Obama and the Democrats won the recent election. Even if the current push for gun control fails, we can expect that Jewish organizations will continue the push to disarm White males.

Jewish organizations are not at all against guns when they are in the hands of the police and other authorities. The ADL (see the ADL’s Law Enforcement Agency Resource Network) and the SPLC (Law Enforcement Training and Law Enforcement Resources) have made strong alliances with law enforcement in America.

Further, it has often been observed that Jewish organizations have historically favored a strong central government rather than states’ rights. For example, Jacques Berlinerblau, writing in The Chronicle of Higher Education ( (see here), notes that “Jewish voters … prefer cities and federal governments to backwaters and volatile statehouses. … All things equal, Jews like strong central governments, not a pastiche of local decision makers catering to majorities.”

Although Jewish organizations would not phrase it this way, the net result is that the thrust of Jewish activism has been to favor a strong central government with a monopoly on lethal force. Given Jewish hostility to the traditional people and culture of White America, this is a very foreboding combination as we head into the era of a non-White majority America.

But, but.... Who becomes President if the elected and the Vice suddenly disappear, somehow???? Now I'm just sayin, so don't go pin it on me! This is speculation at best. Tom Clancy is dead. Let's see, from my recollection, JFK was a Democrat, right?

I think we're seeing more shell game power moves by the elite.

I wonder what Ryan "knows" about now.

This is not a good thing. Remember this fools budget proposal, it was ridiculous. Dis guy also believed sequester was a good move, of course they've all changed their mind. This guy will crack and quit, soon as he has a few sleepless nites and it starts to affect his relationship with the day to day interactions with the Family. The job puts him too out there, continuity is required, he may seem the perfect fit. However, that impression and image will soon fade, IMHO.

Bitch! Bitch! Bitch! Rather than castigate this or that or the other politician, why not just accept that there is no government in America. Not by Americans, nor for Americans nor of Americans. All that's there is a big death machine backed by a big propaganda machine and you or I are irrelevancies, except as the prey of vampires. In the alternative, it is a big propaganda machine backed by a big death machine. (Either way, you or I are irrelevancies--except for the purpose noted above.)
