Paul Ryan Ticked Conservatives Off, And Now He’s Getting Blindsided With MAJOR News

"These sellout Republicans have made a huge mistake ..."

Wisconsin Republican Rep. Paul Ryan has disappointed millions of conservatives after shepherding through what many feel is a disastrous budget deal. Now, the new House speaker just might come to rue the day he signed off on the deal if conservatives in his home district have their way.

Certainly Ryan has run the gamut among conservatives. Only a decade ago he was thought to be a budget wiz kid conservatives felt had the right stuff to take the lead on fiscally conservative policy matters. But once he set his eyes on leadership, he began to compromise and drift leftward in the eyes of his former supporters.

Now, as speaker of the House, he seems to have made the transition from conservative to left-leaning establishment party hack as far as many conservatives are concerned. And the budget deal is their final straw.

Angry conservatives back in Ryan’s home district are now searching for a more conservative primary opponent to challenge Ryan in his next election campaign after he ushered through the $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill.

As Breitbart News reports, local Tea Party activists are planning to oust the speaker.

“There is a sympathetic ear to having someone beat him,” said James Murphy, the founder of the Green Bay Tea Party organization.

The Washington Times also found a conservative who hopes Ryan can be fired.

“These sellout Republicans have made a huge mistake voting for this on top of the huge surge in public anger at D.C. politicians that have betrayed their constituents,” said William Gheen, president of the Americans For Legal Immigration political action committee.

Finally, according to the “Primary Challenge Paul Ryan” Facebook page, a U.S. veteran is looking into the idea of running against Ryan, though the page did not divulge the name of this possible candidate.


All this after Ryan pushed through the spending bill that conservatives point out was so bad that Democrats universally praised the bill.



Among the many failures conservatives see in the bill is that funding for abortion mill-operating Planned Parenthood sailed through unscathed. Despite months of conservative attacks on Planned Parenthood this year, Ryan left in all funding for the organization beloved by anti-life liberals.

I hope someone really good runs for his seat and Wisconsin kicks him to the curb. That said, I'm a lifetime Republican who is Pro-Choice and do not criticize the funding for Planned Parenthood, which funding through Medicaid, that is paid out to all abortion-providers including Planned Parenthood. Also, Planned Parenthood only provides 27.5% of abortions in the United States so more than 2/3 of abortions performed in the US are performed by other medical facilities who perform the same procedures in the same manner. I think Americans are very confused about Planned Parenthood.

In any event, I support removing Paul Ryan from Congress. I've never liked him. I always thought he was two-faced, double-talking snake.
