Paul Ryan’s job is to convince people that the government can keep spending in deficit for the next 40 years with no negative consequences, and say it is the conservative position!

Paul Ryan’s role is to purge any conservatives who voted against his shyster budget bill that the GOP establishment loves so much.

What “negotiations”?

There no negotiations at the moment. And there is little evidence there will be any until either the GOP caves in on Dear Leader’s demand or we go over that “cliff”.

The One does not negotiate. He dictates. He issues edicts and executive orders. He rules his kingdom.

And an aide to Ryan, who asked that his name not be used, says the role of the Wisconsin congressman is as a “resource to the speaker, a resource to House Republicans.”

Translation: Paul Ryan is the Establishment Republican TEA Party representative. He will give Boehner cover to go full RINO. Anyone who questions Ryan and by extension Boehner is a Far right wing NutJob racist and an obstructionist who wants old people & children to starve, want people to lose their welfare checks, and hate America.

What’s Paul Ryan’s role during fiscal-cliff negotiations?

To sit down and shut up while Boehner caves to the whims of the King.
