The funny part is that Ryans seat is probably going to flip. He is not in a very republican district. Its like R+2.
This election would make me happy if
1. Marsha Blackburn loses
2. Dave Brat (VA-7) loses
They are the more obnoxious people in politics (and biggest liars). Nice that I can scratch Ryan off the list. I guess he ran out of snake oil.
I’ve seen some PTA’s in action. He might not win a position there. He’d be better off with some non-profit, like suppressthevote.org or something.
Medican’t for the People, Inc.?

(Interesting Ayn Rand quote: “In any collaboration between two men (or two groups) who hold different basic principles, it is the more evil or irrational one who wins.” )
Freedom Works
Heritage
(anything the Mercers are funding these days)
He has lots of choices
Local Options for Mr. Ryan
– Marquette University. in need of a Milwaukee base chair for the Public Policy program and the Les Aspin Center for Government.
– U of Wisconsin, The La Follette School of Public Affairs
– The Badger Institute (Conservative Wisconsin think tank)
– Beloit College, Political Science faculty
– Work for one of the family or in-laws businesses
– Write is own ticket to anything he wants.

What has politics in Dade come down to if a sheriff can’t take a few lovely parting gifts on their way out. $2800 in Men’s Warehouse suits? LOL
Thanks for the link, Will. That ex-sheriff is lucky to stay out of the slam. Some counties I know, cashing in on confiscated goats can get you hanged.
Yeah, we all know how some Georgia sheriffs have grown attached to their asset forfeiture slush funds but literally getting a man’s goat for personal gain was just beyond the pale.
Meanwhile in Ohio… more Speaker of the House news.
