The GOP complained about Clinton involved in pay to play, but can't find real evidence of her doing so, just another GOP investigation to nowhere. Now though we have a real case of pay to play in Paul Ryan essentially getting half a million dollars for getting the Koch Brothers their huge tax cut just days after the tax cut vote. Bet this won't be investigated by the Congress as long as it is controlled by the GOP. Of course the GOP will just say it is a political donation, and if you believe that I have got a bridge in New York I can sell you for very cheap.

And what has that to do with the fact that Ryan took money from those he helped get really huge tax savings within a week of the bill being passed. Looks a lot like pay to play to me, but then most GOPers don't care what their people do as long as they win.

Talk about lobbying, McConndel was caught having lobbyist write the new bill that the GOP wants to have to end the shutdown with. Guess how that is going to go over with the Dems?

LOL!!

Congressmen don't "write new bills". Lobbyists do. Then the lobbyists pay the Congressmen to sell the bills. McConnell is just doing what all Congressmen do.

Don't believe me? Tell me...which Congressman wrote Obamacare?

Actually Obamacare was based on a planl started by the GOP and originally implemented in Massachusetts by Romney.

What Obamacare was "based" on is irrelevant to my question.

Want to try again?
 
There is no defending Paul BIZZARO Ryan.

The man is a completely selfish kleptocratic traitor who doesn't care about the US at all.
