New front in the GOP Civil War- Paul Ryan vs. Heritage Foundation

[GordonGecko]

No holds barred, Texas cage match.....with Marco Rubio on one side and Steve King on the other handing in the folding chairs.

A day after Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) offered to "debate anybody" who labeled the bipartisan immigration bill currently being considered as amnesty, a leading conservative think tank appeared eager to accept the House Budget Committee chairman's challenge.

Michael A. Needham, chief executive officer of Heritage Action For America, wrote Thursday that the Senate bill brought forward by the so-called Gang of Eight does indeed amount to amnesty.

"Chairman Ryan offered to 'debate anybody who tries to suggest that these ideas that are moving through Congress are amnesty,'" Needham wrote. "That is a conversation we would welcome."

((BTW, to our rightwing friends....NO Democrats are involved in this story....but of course don't let that stop you from your usual M.O. of...trying to convince us there are. Carry on. ))

Ryan has two things against him-

1. The Hard Right HATE the idea of immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship....he's supporting it. (Again, like Rubio and Flake...they're young guys and they don't want to see the GOP die off as a Party of only old, white, males who hate everybody who's not).

2. He lost. He's a "loser". Repubs are vicious when it comes to how they treat those guys who lose elections. Dan Quayle was treated like dirt by them. Jack Kemp never even got a "Kemp in 2000" campaign off the ground. Paul lost wtih Romney...so now he's "tainted goods".

BTW, Palin is the exception.....but that's only because rightwing men fantasize about f**king her while she talks about "Defendin' liberty...and repealin' Obamacare!".
