Okay, obviously I disagree on all three accounts.Back to speakers, would you actually like George Clooney as speaker? Where did that suggestion come from?
Why do you disagree, Germany has a history of backwards politics and racial biggotry.
George Clooney was a joke, are you unaware of what a joke is?
Germany has a 60 year record of peaceful, and relatively social politics. It is well regarded and respected by the international community. Not that I care, cause I'm not nationalist, you're just wrong about your assessment.
I know what a joke is, and it did seem like a joke when you made it in the other thread, but then you made a whole thread about it and actually put him in the poll as one of only 5 options, which, you must admit, is bizarre.

Have you looked at your profile pic, or your location, thats bizarre. I put it in the thread cause Q99 and me were taking about it, and I thought it was funny. Not that I have to explain myself to the likes of the despicable person you are though.

What do my profile picture and my location have to do with anything?
And yet you do explain yourself to me, funny how that works. But it's fine I'm glad you clarified now that Clooney was a joke. Is Bill Maher also a joke, are there any non-joke candidates in your poll?

Shows how ignorant you are. Its does not effect the world, even in shutdowns the government never shuts down, your a fanatic.
It doesn't entirely shut down, but it directly cost us about 30 billion dollars last time, and indirectly has a variety of other effects on the economy and similar.
And it does make the country look bad.

Who cares we have nukes remember?😂
Newt actually balanced the budget last time it was shut down properly and clinton got the credit for it.
I think Sean Hannity would be a great speaker though, He actually has a fiscal plan that makes sense. Cut one penny out of every federal dollar spent for the next 6 years as well as allow corporations a one time credit to bring their money back here from over seas, he calls it "repatriating the money" and cut the corporate tax to 15% which would make companies from around the world invest in america and keep their corporations here cause we would have the lowest corporate tax rate in th world, thus stimulating the economy with jobs. This would give us a surplus and stop this $9 trillion in the hole Obama has gotten us in. Which btw Boehner and Ryan are responsible for as well.
I dont get this, he said he isn't running, is the media lying to sway opinion to possibly try and make him run.
It couldn't be more clear, he said "I'm not doing it."

I thought you to have to be a House member to be speaker. I suppose if there is a vacancy a governor could nominate somebody to finish term.
This was already established you do not have to be a house member to be speaker. Hence why you can have a speaker and a majority leader in the same party.

Well, it's going to be a polarising figure with the way the Republican party currently stands. I think Ryan is the most reasonable, but I can understand why he doesn't want the job, could potentially harm his career.
Other then SOH, I see his career going no further than Senator, possibly Cabinet position. I don't see GOP wining POTUS, still a rich white person's party with trickle down theory.

The Republicans certainly haven't given up on the idea though (and it isn't out of the question in the future), and Ryan's already gotten the VP nomination once. Emerging, unlike his partner, fairly unscathed as well. Give it 12 years and who knows?

Trickle down does work if you can imagine the super wealthy just spritzing over the rest of the USA like their private toilets🙂
