1. "Paul Ryan tells House Republicans heā€™s willing to run, if conditions are met...."
- Paul Ryan tells House Republicans heā€™s willing to run, if conditions are met

ā€œI hope it doesnā€™t sound conditional ā€” but it is,ā€ he said, according to members inside the room. He paused after saying the word ā€œconditional,ā€ they said, for effect. Rep. Paul Ryan (Wis.) moved closer to the House speakership Tuesday, telling fellow Republicans that he would consider taking the job if he could be assured that the caucus would unite behind him.

Ryan DEMANDS that the entire GOP pledge allegiance to him and completely support him and his actions as Speaker.
- Boehner did not have this because Boehner never represented his constituents, the GOP base, or his fellow Republican House members...which is why he is being forced out. Ryan is demanding that type of un-wavering support for whatever he does right off the bat.


2. "Paul Ryan Will Run for Speakerā€“if Conservative Colleagues Stop Being a ā€˜Problemā€™"
- Paul Ryan Will Run for Speaker-if Conservative Colleagues Stop Being a 'Problem' - Breitbart

"Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) admitted during a press conference that he was willing to run for Speaker of the Houseā€“but only if they met a list of demands of what it would take to get him to run."

By 'STOP BEING A PROBLEM' Ryan means:
- STOP demanding the ACA be repealed.
- STOP demanding Planned Parenthood be defunded
- STOP demanding the Borders be secured
- STOP demanding 'No Amnesty'
- STOP demanding an end to abortions at ANY stage of pregnancy
- STOP demanding the President and Congress adhere to the Constitution
- STOP demanding the Speaker of the House actually FIGHT the party's core values and beliefs, for issues the American people / Conservatives care about, and that the GOP leadership actually do what is best for the nation and people NOT what is best for themselves or the party.

Ryan has already made it clear that he has aspirations of running for President one day, so he is about to take a position that is known for being the END of 'your' political career, and he is trying to 'hedge his bet' - protect HIS OWN future by trying to force the entire GOP to 'shut up and color' and 'faithfully, and unconditionally back him'.

....Oh, and Obama and the Democrats love the idea of Paul being the new Speaker...

Nothing else more needs to be said or known. Ryan should NOT be the new Speaker of the House!

If the Tea Party is set against Ryan being Speaker then he is the right guy!
 
"STOP demanding the President and Congress adhere to the Constitution"
WTF?
 
By 'STOP BEING A PROBLEM' Ryan means:
- STOP demanding the ACA be repealed.

So...another 50+ repeals then?

Stop wasting time and taxpayer money on stupid, fruitless, meaningless theater for the rubes.
 
Other Ridiculous Ryan DEMANDS:

"Mr. Ryan had said he would only take the speakerā€™s job if Congress eliminated the power to oust the speaker mid-session ā€” something Rep. Raul Labrador, Idaho Republican, said would undermine the checks and balances that have been in the system since Thomas Jefferson first wrote the parliamentary rule book."

Known as the motion to vacate the chair, the parliamentary maneuver in question is a way for insurgents to topple their chief ā€” similar to a vote of no confidence in parliamentary systems.

Such a motion was part of the trouble faced by Mr. Boehner, who is retiring amid intense dissatisfaction from conservative Republicans.

...if itā€™s good enough for Jefferson, itā€™s got to be good enough for Paul Ryan,ā€ Mr. Labrador said."

Paul Ryan's demands include 'non-starter' - Washington Times

But it will make sure they can beat President Obama in 2016... ( Yes, I know he can not run but I have a strange feeling the Tea Party Caucus are oblivious to this little fact )
 
Well, turn him down and put a Freedom Caucus guy in there.
The last thing the American people want is a Congress that works together.
.

- 'F' Conservative Rating
- A Gutierez / Obama / liberal Favorite...
- FOR Open Borders, FOR Amnesty
- FOR Sanctuary Cities
- FOR abortions at any stage of pregnancy
- Wants to scrap the Jefferson Rule
- Demands allegiance without promising he will listen to and represent Conservatives / Conservative values
- Has made it clear he is only taking the position if it does not hurt his own personal future political goals

...and you think making Ryan the new Speaker will unite the party and create a Congress that works together?
 
" if he could be assured that the caucus would unite behind him."

as divided as the RW's are?

fat chance.
 
In the end, many Conservatives falsely believe that replacing Boehner will result in a lot getting done, like the ACA being repealed, partial-birth abortions being outlawed, immigration law being enforced, etc... IT WON'T!

Many conservatives just want to see some 'FIGHT' from their GOP Leadership instead of the cowardice and constant surrendering before the fight even begins.

Truth be told there is not 1 single GOP rep in DC that has that bravery, conviction, and willingness to engage in a fight that may cost him / her their precious sweet deal jobs in DC.
