Freedom Caucus split over Paul Ryan as Speaker of the House
See Rep.Clawson splits from Freedom Caucus and not supporting Paul Ryan for Speaker; supports Webster

” WASHINGTON — Congressman Curt Clawson wants a Floridian and an “outsider” candidate not promoted from within the existing Republican leadership to be the next Speaker of the House and said Friday has split with his Freedom Caucus on backing Rep. Paul Ryan.”
As I understand the “Freedom Caucus” rules, it votes as ablock and needs 80% approval when voting. If this is true, the Ryan deal is not a done deal as we are led to believe by our corporatist controlled media.

To support Paul Ryan as Speaker of the House is to support our Global Governance Crowd and their FAST TRACK, WTO, NAFTA, GATT,CAFTA, and the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal, all used to circumvent America First trade policies, while fattening the fortunes of international corporate giants who have no allegiance to America or any nation.
Why does the Establishment want Paul Ryan as Speaker of the House?
See Why The Speakership Matters
” The Speaker of the House is one of the most powerful positions in our government.
The duties of the Speaker include, but are not limited to, appointing members to various committees, deciding when a bill will be introduced and to what committee it will be assigned, ruling on points of order, controlling the flow of debate and calling for the vote. This means that whatever party holds the majority, and therefore the Speakership, has serious control over what legislation moves forward and what gets blocked, what gets funded and what doesn’t.”
This is why the Chamber of Commerce and the Club for Growth are doing everything they can to get Ryan to be Speaker!
