Freedomworks talking about drafting Paul Ryan -- so much for that group

But will Ryan — young, handsome, articulate and committed — succumb to the temptation? Probably not.

He all but shut the door on a 2012 presidential run during an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday.

“I’m not running for president,” he told David Gregory. “It’s not my plan. My plan is to be a good chairman of the House Budget Committee and fight for the fiscal sanity of this nation. … You never know what opportunities present themselves way down the road — I’m not talking about right now. And I want to focus on fixing the fiscal problems of this country.”

But will Ryan — young, handsome, articulate, big government, neo-conservative and committed — succumb to the temptation? Probably not.

He all but shut the door on a 2012 presidential run during an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday.

“I’m not running for president,” he told David Gregory. “It’s not my plan. My plan is to be a good chairman of the House Budget Committee and fight for the fiscal sanity of this nation. … You never know what opportunities present themselves way down the road — I’m not talking about right now. And I want to focus on fixing the fiscal problems of this country.”

Fixed it for them.

Freedomworks works to draft Paul - Ryan ... well they got it half right.

[HOLLYWOOD]

Dick Armey, Freedom Works, Patriot Action Network, Resistnet are all NEOCON Fascist fronts, well organized by the Washington DC establishment and Money Masters.

Yeah, I caught "MEET THE MESS" on NBC this morning, more of the weekly dose of Sunday Morning PROPAGANDA to steer and fool the viewing audiences.

PAUL RYAN stated clearly and repeatedly... he is not running under any circumstance for the 2012 presidential throne. This is the NEOCONS/Establishment masters diluting current candidates and their message/visibility.

Paul Rino as I like to call him.

Dick Armey was on CNBC this morning, talking about Pawlenty "making himself the man we need him to be"! It's confusing why they are looking past Ron Paul, especially since he has spoken at FreedomWorks events. :confused: He even called the field "slim pickings". :rolleyes:

In his last legislative effort, Armey was named chairman of the House Select Committee on Homeland Security and was the primary sponsor of the legislation that created the Department of Homeland Security.

At the start of 2003, Armey joined the Washington office of the law firm DLA Piper (formerly DLA Piper Rudnick Gray Cary) as a senior policy advisor. Armey was also the firm's co-chairman of its Homeland Security Task Force.

How many law firms have their own Homeland Security Taskforce?

Is Homeland InSecurity involved in the co-opt of the 'Tea Parties'?

Congressman Ryan supports the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, federal bailouts, increased federal involvement in education, unconstitutional and undeclared wars, Medicare Part D (a multi trillion dollar unfunded liability), stimulus spending, and foreign aid.

According to Michelle Malkin in 2009, “[Paul Ryan] gave one of the most hysterical speeches in the rush to pass TARP last fall; voted for the auto bailout; and voted with the Barney Frank-Nancy Pelosi AIG bonus-bashing stampede. Milwaukee blogger Nick Schweitzer wrote: ‘He ought to be apologizing for his previous votes, not pretending he was being responsible the entire time, but I don’t see one bit of regret for what he did previously. And I’ll be damned if I’m going to let him get away with it’.”

Congressman Ryan: if you don’t like debt, stop voting for debt.
