re: Paul: Speaker Ryan sees healthcare negotiations as 'his way or the highway'

There’s no doubt the Paul Ryan proposal holds the worst U.S. CoC aspects demanded by Tom Donohue. Heck, Donohue poured a lot of lobbying money into the entire architecture in ’09/’10 and he’s paid republicans in congress hundreds of millions to make sure his interests in keeping ObamaCare around are protected. Ryan is big GOPe and he’s supported by the Big Club.

I was against Ryan becoming SOTH from the start. When he was elected, the first thing Ryan did was appoint some C of C exec as his top assistant. That just confirmed to me that we were screwed. A lot of people probably think the C of C is a good organization, but in many ways it isn't. For example, that organization is one of the primary reasons why the government has never clamped down on employers for hiring illegals. They want businesses to have cheap labor.

None of these people are perfect by any means, but I'm definitely on Team Paul here (and I'm with him most of the time).
