Former GOP House Speakers Ryan and Boehner raising money for members of the House 35 that voted for Jan. 6 kangaroo court inquiry
By Thomas Lifson

Why has the leadership of the GOP so often disappointed the party’s conservative, Trump-supporting base? Not since Newt Gingrich have the House Republicans been led by a Speaker worthy of his supporters’ trust. The conservative Trump-supporting base of the Republican Party has ample cause for suspicion.

The two most recent GOP Speakers of the House seem to have thrown their lot in with the Trump-haters left in the party’s congressional delegation.   Sundance at The Last Refuge has noticed that former Speakers Ryan and Boehner have been raising money for members of the group of 35 House Republicans who voted to establish the January 6 “independent” inquiry, a majority of whose members would be appointed by Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi.

This panel would serve as a Mueller II vehicle to harness subpoena power to a lavish budget in the hands of witch hunters intent on digging up charges to make against not just Donald Trump, but his supporters as well. 

 Former House Speaker Paul Ryan previously held a fundraising event for Liz Cheney (March 2021).  Former House Speaker John Boehner previously held a fundraising event for Ohio Rep Anthony Gonzalez (March 2021)…. And now Paul Ryan announces he will host a fundraising event for Illinois Representative Adam Kinzinger.

Never were there two people like Ryan and Bonner who need to reside on the ash heap of history.

You got that right.  Ryan and Boehner rank #1 and #2 respectively among the best Democrat Party House Speakers ever.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Just a measure of the chronic perfidy in the GOP, imho. These guys might as well form a nonprofit: "Save our Swamp"

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The most egregious thing ever committed by Congress occurred when Paul Ryan removed the debt ceiling during the Obama years, essentially giving Obama the power to incur debt without Congressional limit.

The biggest betrayal ever committed by a House Speaker occurred when Paul Ryan gave the minority Democrats even more than they sought in their budget requests.  Twice.

I take back anything that I had said in favor of Paul Ryan.

(I've never said anything favorable about John Boehner.)

Newtie wasn't very good, either.  He caved to Bubba Clinton on the budget before 1995 was out.  Less than a year and he was already reneging on the Contract With America.

He initiated the Clinton Impeachment, and then was forced to resign for doing the exact same thing with Helmet Head Calista with the crazy eyes.  And then, he did the "couch commercial" sitting side-by-side with Nancy Pelosi, vowing to "fix" Global Warming.

Why Americans should never donate to the RNC or any other GOP party group.   The RINOs use the money to subvert the Constitution.

Donate only to specific candidates.
The GOP is not the party leadership.  The GOP is the party MEMBERSHIP.   The members need to kick the leaders out if they leaders are going the wrong way.  No coddling allowed.

The last GOP Speaker worth anything was Nicholas Longworth.
