The Hill reports conservatives are really upset with Speaker Ryan. Nobody at COTTonLINE is in any way surprised at this news, in fact we predicted it when Ryan was being considered for the post.
It was clear at the time that Ryan, while a fiscal conservative, was very much a member of the GOP establishment with all the negative baggage that entails. We knew, a priori, he favored a so-called "comprehensive" immigration reform featuring amnesty for 11 million illegals.
We should have known he likewise bought into the "you can't let Obama shut down the government in a conflict with Congress" idiocy that has neutered Congressional conservatives. We need a bomb-thrower as Speaker, Ryan is not that person. Hat tip to Drudge Report for the link.
