Ryan fires warning shot at White House ahead of shutdown deadline

[spanone]

fuck this guy....

Washington (CNN)House Speaker Paul Ryan warned the White House and Democrats Tuesday that Republicans won't back down from a fight over government spending that left unresolved could result in a mid-December shutdown.

"This is the legislative branch, and the power of the purse rests within the legislative branch. And we fully expect that we are going to exercise that power," Ryan said when pressed over whether he planned to attach so-called "policy riders" to a must-pass spending bill that Congress needs to approve before December 11.

The two-year budget deal that President Barack Obama signed on Monday sets the overall levels for government spending, but in order to avoid another government shutdown, the House and Senate need to approve a funding bill detailing levels for all federal agencies.

Earlier this year, Republicans and Democrats feuded over federal money for Planned Parenthood after a series of videos produced by an anti-abortion group suggested the group was selling fetal body parts for profit. Planned Parenthood denied any illegal activity, but the GOP-led House set up a select committee to continue investigating the matter and many GOP members insist that the next spending measure bar any additional taxpayer funding for the group. Other conservatives want to push other policy provisions to push back at the Obama administration's regulatory policies.

1. Well, we all knew Ryan was an Ayn Rand worshipping a-hole of the highest order

If he shuts the government down again it'll just further cement a Dem victory in 2016.

11. Is that really a direct quote?

If so, he's an even bigger psychopath than I thought!

God, I hate that guy!! So, so very much!

3. Ayn-Ryan will either have to buckle or push to have a government shut-down because

President Obama is tired of Republicans' petty fights and he's in NO MOOD to indulge them.

8. Told you so moment,yes.

This toad is bought and paid for by the Libertarian money bags. I have said this before,just look at what the Rethug Party in Wisconsin is up to. What you see is what you are getting. Boner was a back stabber,but this guy is going to hand the next Presidential Election to the Dems. This Guy appears to have bought this message of you have to destroy the U.S.economy in order to save it,hook line and sinker. If this Governmental shut down hits in mid December,this will make 2008 look like happy days. And the twenty million old White People who tend to back these twits,are the ones who will get hit the hardest,if this happens. Watch for and listen to Pelosi's next presser.

18. i think ryan is boehner giving Obama the finger on his way out...

[Johonny]

19. Warning shot or whining shot?

Is he really going to shut down the government or simply producing political cover in sound bites to appease the RW media. No matter what we all know the actual budget when passed before or post shut down is going to have them coming after him in anger because it impossible for Paul to give them what they want. In fact it is impossible to know what they want. The 19th century is the closest guess I have as to the only thing he could deliver them that they'd accept.
