Not really sad. I am enjoying watching the chaos and dysfunction the Republican Party is experiencing. The incompetent Tea Party electees, with ideologies best suited for the Dark Ages, are setting the stage for big gains for the Democrats in 2016......yeah!

To a large degree, I am too, but f*#kin around with the debt ceiling with the governing party in chaos, and largely beholden to its nutter butters, is getting uncomfortably hairy.

Looks like it will be Ryan.

Meanwhile, with the deadline to raise the debt ceiling 11 days away, and with no clear path towards resolution in sight, congress spent a considerable amount of energy today dicking around on Benghazi.

Ryan's cool. He's an actual climber. Did a bunch of stuff in Colorado iirc.

Snarky: Per your comment:

Rick Alexander (edit-Rick A =Rick Accomazzo)
spent a lot of effort here on refuting Ryan's claims to being a prolific climber in a ST thread.

Paul Ryan's 40 14ers? About as Credible as his 2:50 Marathon

After Rick's first thread on the subject, strangely was deleted one day, he and others managed to repost most of the lost information.

Ryan is maybe the best of the Republican dirt- bags to run the House, but he is still a, bought by the Koch brothers, lying dirt-bag.

The Georgia-Pacific pulp mill environmental legacy in Wisconsin must be looming large in the Koch Industries liability landscape.

Endorsing Wisconsin polititutes like Walker and Ryan seem to confirm the possible clean-up costs at these sites...

So says the individual that posted several times on other "Politard" threads complaining about them being initiated but yet never hesitates to join in on the gangbang when fellow members of his tribe are beating their drums.

Amazing.

Rick Alexander? You mean the "Electric Ladyland," "Wailing Wall," "Vampire," and "Dappled Mare" Rick Alexander? Damn, he's royalty! Loves me some Rick Alexander routes. Thanks for pointing that out, Fritz!

It was Rick Accomazzo

He posted the investigation into lying Ryan's allegations

Ryan is just corporate puppet blinded by the delusions of an Ayn Rand libertarian utopia

where the rich get richer and the poor become slaves

I ask, when has Libertarianism worked?
the answer is never, it always fails because the greedy take over and gain the power to oppress the masses.

He's also a f-ing hypocrite, he was raised on his fathers Social Security after he died, now he wants to take away SS and privatize Medicare.

So if you don't want the Government to take away your SS and Medicare, don't vote Republican, since that is one of their main objectives (who needs it if you're rich?, it cost's too much to support these poor losers)

Hey Chief....now I can enjoy the Tea Party candidates battling with Ryan and adding to the dysfunction of the already nearly totally dysfunctional Repub. Party.
Say Chief....are you a Tea Party guy?

This is incorrect. Look up the communist libertarianism of Spain in the 1930s.

Nothing says, "we totally caved into the democrats on the budget deal" and "the Benghazi Committee was an absurdly embarrassing bust" quite like "bring me the head of the IRS!!!".

This is exactly the sort of infantile attempt to distract that let's you know for sure these guys bank with assurance on the belief their constituents are complete idiots.

the GOP is deserving of what they are getting

because: they said nothing when McCain chose Sarah, and continued to say
nothing as she continued to embarrass rational Republicans for years

because: they embraced the Tea Party when it handed them the House in 2010
and now they have to live with the Freedom Caucus and Extremism

lots of times you end up getting what you want and then regret it afterwards.......

Oh, Boehner's doing the right thing. The IRS distraction is coming from one of the embarrassed chief nutjobs to his extreme right, Jason Chaffetz (formerly a jewish democrat [former stepmom was Kitty Dukakis] turned mormon republican - gotta love men of principle...).

The Boehner budget deal may also be more than a "bitch-slap" to the Tea Party.

From USA Today. Jill Lawrence 3:50 p.m. EDT October 27, 2015

If I were an optimist, I’d argue that this is the week the tea party movement lost its mojo, its grip on Congress and maybe even its hold on the Republican Party. A long-term, bipartisan budget and debt deal is the top piece of evidence that suggests a pivotal moment could be at hand.

The possible agreement — the single most reassuring, stabilizing move the GOP could offer the country at this point — is under discussion at a time when the public seems to be losing interest in the confrontational, all-or-nothing tea party brand. A new Gallup poll shows the populist protest movement at its lowest ebb since it emerged in 2009 to thwart President Obama and his policies on taxes, spending and health care. Only 17% of Americans now say they are tea party supporters while a record 54% say they are neither supporters nor opponents.

The tea party never had anything close to majority backing in America — in fact, its high water mark was less than a third, 32%, exactly five years ago. And yet its wins in very conservative House districts and a few Senate races have often allowed it to dictate terms to the GOP, Congress, and the entire nation.

Tea party lawmakers are characterized by their tolerance for chaos, brinksmanship and — to be blunt — disregard for taxpayer dollars and the U.S. economy even as they talk a good game about their diehard commitment to lower taxes, less spending, smaller government and a better economy. Over the past few years, the country has lost considerable money, time, productivity and mental bandwidth — plus its top credit rating — while lurching from crisis to crisis, repeatedly coming to the brink of debt defaults and government shutdowns, and in 2013 enduring an actual shutdown that lasted two weeks.

But this week the House Freedom Caucus, comprising less than one-tenth of the 435-member House, could be on the losing end of a couple of fights. And that would signal it is not the force it used to be. The irony is that one of the major factors leading to this moment is the movement’s success in ousting leaders it believes are too willing to compromise. House Speaker John Boehner became so frustrated that he is leaving Congress at the end of the week — and with that freedom, was trying to negotiate a major budget and debt deal on his way out the door.

Such a deal would avert a catastrophic debt default next week and set spending parameters until 2017 — taking budget fights off the table for the rest of Obama’s term. So much for tea party leverage. Obstructionists in both chambers like to hold both debt and budget bills hostage to all kinds of other demands, from defunding Planned Parenthood to repealing the Affordable Care Act, and a deal would rob them of those opportunities.
