Paul Ryan is a man made of plastic. He has molded himself to succeed in politics based on political advantage. I was one of millions who believed that he would support moderate Republicans and save his party from the growing number of extremists who have moved his party so far to the right that they are always wrong. I was very mistaken. Paul Ryan is a Republican first who places his personal ambitions ahead of the American people. He is a coward and a hypocrite who supported every proposal from Donald Trump. Now his supporters are claiming that his decision to leave the federal government is based on his disagreements with Trump. I call ‘bullshit.’

“I never thought of myself as a lifer in politics, let alone a lifer in Congress. And so I really don’t know what I’ll do next,” said Ryan, who spoke at length with the Journal Sentinel and reporters from three other news organizations.

“I wouldn’t mind being ambassador to Ireland in my 60s,” joked Ryan, who is 48.

Let’s dispel his first lie. Ryan was desperate to become the President of the United States. He had a long range plan to become the man sitting behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office. His support of fuhrer Donald Trump ended those ambitions. He is not a stupid man. He realizes that if there is a large turnout of voters on November 6^th, he, and his party are in danger of losing the House and the Senate.

The facts prove that Ryan, like other failed Republican politicians, can secure a much larger income if he is no longer in an elected office. As a lobbyist, or a FOX Noise personality, he can earn millions of dollars each year. He will continue to be supported by the billionaires who are dedicated to the destruction of democracy in America, and institute a plutocracy. A plutocracy cannot exist without a fascist government.

I say, ‘good riddance.’ I have a list of those I would love to see removed from our government. It is very long, but at the top are Mitch McConnell, Chuck Grassley, John Cornyn, Steven King, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and Devin Nunes. Of course Orrin Hatch, who is too old and mentally infirmed to be elected, would be on that list, but he has already announced his overdue retirement.

Let’s decide to save our nation and vote all, and I mean ALL Republicans from office. They are the enemy of the working class.
