Now wait just a minute here. After telling us all what were essentially nothing more than lies in his effort to convince us that his spending bill was something that it’s not, he’s actually entertaining the thought of running for president? Yup, I guess so, because as ridiculous as that may sound, Paul Ryan says that running for president in 2016 is "in the back of my mind." He might just as well keep it "in the back of his mind" because what’s the sense in electing another liar to replace the liar that we have now? There’s nothing about that that makes any sense whatsoever. Why would we want to do that?
"People always say, 'Well this could hurt your future ambitions,'" the House Budget chairman told ABC News, in reference to the budget deal he helped craft and that has now passed the House. "If I'm not good at this job, why should I ask somebody for another job?" The Republican congressman and former vice presidential candidate has been criticized by Tea Party groups over the budget deal he worked on with the Democratic Senate Budget Committee Chairwoman Patty Murray. As far as I’m concerned, whether or not he’s good at this job is up for debate. It’s easy to lie about something which is what he did.
His critics say the deal didn't cut spending enough and that Ryan compromised too much. The House Budget Committee chairman said that this budget agreement was necessary to avoid another government shutdown. "We don't think government shutdowns are a good idea," he said. I’m sorry but this is nothing more than a false argument, especially in light of the fact that it was already shown that the last supposed shutdown had very little impact, if any, on just about anything. So I don’t understand why we needed to hand to the Democrats pretty much everything they wanted to avoid another.
And then in repeating that same old tired argue that I’ve heard until I’m ready to puke, Ryan again made the claim that in a divided government, "you're not always going to get what you want every time . . . You have to make some common ground decisions to get things done." Adding, "My job is not to cloud my judgement with personal ambition." Ryan went on to say, "My job is to do my job and that is things like this. If I have to stop myself from doing what I think is right to become president, then I don't want to be president." My question is why is always the Republicans that must go in search of common ground?
So in what is my attempt to remind him exactly what his job is, let me explain. His job is to do nothing more than to protect and defend our Constitution. That document, which has been under assault 24/7/365 since our current president, socialist that he is, first came diddy-boppin into the Oval Office. But nope, old Paul just couldn’t quite bring himself to do that. Nope, no way Jose. So instead, what does he do? He joins with a flaming lib from the Senate to cook up this cockamamie spending bill that does nothing more than to gut the sequester, which is exactly what the Democrats wanted. Nice goin there, Paul!
And despite John Boehner’s tantrum, nothing, absolutely nothing, was accomplished with this bill other than to increase spending. And that Ryan can now even remotely consider running for president, especially after having played a part in creating this farce, is nothing short of being hilarious. He would be no more desirable as president than any other RINO now considering making a run. We are going broke, we’re robbing from our kids and grand-kids, and Ryan all wants to do is to spend $63 Billion now and cut $23 Billion later, much later. And he’s also making noise about the need to support amnesty for illegal aliens.
Is it me or does it seem that we have fewer and fewer folks in Congress who we are able to trust and who actually share our values and our vision of where we wish our country to go. We seem to have many who like to call themselves ‘conservative’ but sadly we have very few actually are ‘conservative’. And nothing proves that better than this legislation which accomplishes very little in trying to remedy that which ails us, that being of course, a near terminal addiction to ever more spending. And to portray this thing as being something that it most definitely is not, is nothing short of irresponsible.
So sadly what appears to be underway here, at least in the House which, oddly enough, is supposed to be under the control of the good guys, is nothing more than a blatant attempt to hoodwink the American people. And what is even more odd, is the fact that some of the more prolific lies are being told to us by a guy who says that running for president remains in the back of his mind. As far as I’m concerned he has officially disqualified himself from running. After what has been a steady stream of lies that have come from our current president, I’m in no hurry to elect someone else who can lie to me so easily.
