@toddstarnes You didn't really think he would be different than Boehner did you? Or Loretta Lynch different than Holder? This is your GOP.

Speaker Ryan says when House gets back next year they'll vote to repeal Obamacare and defund Planned Parenthood.

Speaker Paul Ryan says the House will vote on repealing Obamacare and defunding Planned Parenthood in January. Would get a White House veto.
