(20,998 posts)...and rather poorly, I might add. Lyin' Ryan's biggest problem is that he believes his own bullshit P.R.

(36,974 posts)One was a change of the tax rate on 'hunting bows',

(53,778 posts)The other one was renaming a library in his district. And the repugs have been touting this do-nothing who's been in congress since 1998. That's 14 years and two bills passed. Woohoo! Hell, ALEC probably wrote that budget of his he's so 'famous' for and let him put his name on it. What the hell has he been doing for 14 years?
