Thank you Mr. Ryan for saying “no.” Your marriage and young children come first. Ayn Rand is long dead.

Losers, all of them.
So this young gun heads for the hills with his own posse after him - except for his cohort Cantor who got ambushed and his friend McCarthy who got bullied out of a job by the crowd all three brought into their house. Young guns reduced to horse - nah, chickenshit’s the word I’m looking for.
Somehow all this has to be Obama’s fault. If so, WAY TO GO DUDE!!!

Paul Ryan is more responsible for Boehner’s failed leadership than any other Republican besides the Speaker himself. His budget blueprints are so completely and mendaciously farfetched that the Speaker never dared even schedule votes on all 12 appropriations bills. Nowhere near a majority would actually vote for cuts as ridiculous and deep as the Ryan blueprint required. But the fools who took the blueprint seriously are no longer good sports about being misled, so Speaker Spraytan had to go.

I don’t think Paul Ryan came from great wealth. His father was an attorney, but he died when Paul was 16. Given his father’s profession, I’m sure they were fairly well off, but they weren’t the Romneys or the Rockefellers either.
Paul Ryan wants to be president. The last thing he needs is a high-profile position that will only make him look like a punchline and a joke. (Yes, I know he IS those things, and HE knows he is those things, but when you’re running for president, you don’t want EVERYONE ELSE to know it.)

Love the other cars just calmly using the roundabout as if this twit is doing nothing unusual. Rather like the Republican House I would say.
If not, maybe on Pluto.
Greasy sociopathic Randian little fucker still thinks he has a shot at running for POTUS. That ship done sailed.

More realistically they also make a wonderful excuse for refusing to walk the plank for the TP.

He could be president if he had the President and Vice President removed somehow.
Ryans were also road building and construction.
herding cats is not on his resume. he isn’t all that bright, but can figure out a no win stiuation.

Heh. The great thing about this is that, in trying to keep himself unsullied for a presidential run, he’s probably alienating a good portion of his party by putting his own ambition above their fortunes, very possibly diminishing his future chances for the nomination. A happy outcome all around; given the media’s worship of the guy (they couldn’t wait to forget about his multiple lies during the 2012 campaign, which were so plentiful and such whoppers that even they finally noticed), I’d rather not see how they’d treat Speaker Ryan.

No shut-down, no debt default, if he has the sense God gave a guinea pig. Which is not certain.
Paul Ryan is a fascist and a moron, but I must say that opting out of running for Speaker is a smart move for him.
Fits right in with all the legislators who think that government is evil and laws are wrong.
Grading on the curve, Ryan is one of the smarter people in the House GOP, and knows that whoever steps in inherits a disaster. The part is well fucked, but, in the same vein, so are we all. Hhello, debt default and worldwide financial crisis. If that happens, there are some bridges I’m going to burn with some of my “conservative” acquaintances.
