Paul Ryan is a con man and a liar. He is now standing up on the floor of the House of Representatives telling a wheelbarrow load of Ayn Rand lies. He is a disgrace. I don't know whether he actually believes what he is saying and figures he can fool enough people or whether he is out for his own self-enrichment.
It makes me so sad that a person like this holds such power in our country. I do hope that Wisconsin can produce a strong democrat to challenge him in 2018. Nothing would be better for this country than for Paul Ryan to lose re-election.

(10,168 posts)He will NOT win again in Wisconsin unless the SC upholds the gerrymander, which I cannot see how they would. He does not even carry his hometown of Janesville. He's loathed except by people like Charlie Sykes and the big money donors. A handful of pricks.

(16,254 posts)What was he on? His voice was 2 octaves higher and he was talking so fast, I could hardly keep up. I only heard a few minutes of the speech, but his statement about how they were going to improve the environment by allowing drilling in Alaska was the capper. They all must have had special training on how to talk fast and talk over others trying to correct them like their spokeswomen are able to do. He's going to have a lot of practice after that fiasco of a speech. I had to physically push my jaw up to close my mouth when I got home.
Listen to the speech and count the lies. Your assignment for the day.

(805 posts)his due. He just may get credit for destroying the GOP (with some help from MMc, and DJT, and JC, et al.).

(1,587 posts)him as the slickest fake intellectual walking around with a constant supporting briefcase, and the biggest liar in Congress. Randy Bryce hopefully will consign him to the trash bin. That would really upset the Kochs.
