Paul Ryan Defends His Call For Prayers After Texas Mass Shooting: “The right thing to do is pray"

Except they trot out the 'thoughts and prayers' line as a way to put aside real solutions.
Paul Ryan is another fake Christian who pays lip service to his faith and uses its group identity just to win votes.

Get that commie shit out of here.
Everyone knows the REAL Bible is Old Testament + Revelations.
Republicans:
1. Climate Change is a Hoax.
2. Prayer should be the first response to mass killings with guns.
3. Abortion is murder. Ban abortion.
5. Guns murder people. Defend everyone's right to own guns.
I hope you're all voting for Democrats today. They may not be perfect, but they aren't generally FUCKING MORONS.

Paul Ryan has never even offered a half-assed solution to mass shootings, let alone a substantial one. Wheaton said nothing wrong.
How about this, since he is so adamant that prayer works. Every Republican should just abstain from writing any bills or voting for anything and just harness all their energy and effort into prayer.
Let the "secular far left" waste their time actually passing bills. Those morons don't know that anything they pass will be overturned by the divine intervention that Ryan will pray into existence.

Hey, prayer works if you're praying for more people to personally meet God as soon as possible. Like, I pray my inaction leads to more killings. That prayer works.
I'll be voting for Murphy despite the fact that he is a former goldman sachs guy. "Not perfect". You can see my enthusiasm through my computer screen.
The system is broken and only fixing it will solve the sliding spectrum of rightwing sentiments
These people were literally praying and still got shot. Praying is worthless and the most meaningless empty gesture you could possibly offer.
lol silly, Ryan doesn't give a shit about the Bible. The two things he cares about is $ and Power.
"Prayers work"
Ok I pray to whomever that him, trump and the entire gop go to hell and burn forever

Yep. Prayer sure works when a mass shooting takes place where people are actively praying yet again.
Their thoughts and prayers work about as well as me praying for stricter gun laws with a GOP led Senate and House. He wants to offer condolences, cool. But to use it as a way to deflect from any talk of gun regulation is scummy as fuck.

Pray, and then do something about the obvious problem

Ryan as the Speaker of the House is in a unique position to actually take concrete actions that would at least limit these tragedies in scope and frequency, and yet he does nothing but call for prayer. I judge him extremely negatively for his cowardice and inaction which has essentially become complicity. Besides their actual complicit actions.
Perhaps Republicans in Congress could remove the exemptions from state class actions they gave the Gun industry in the mid-2000s for a start? http://www.vpc.org/press/press-release-archive/house-passed-class-action-bill-s-5-protects-gun-industry-leaves-gun-consumers-and-victims-of-gun-violence-in-legal-limbo/

"NO! I said I need thoughts, and prayers!"
Silly Dutch pundit, sadly is on the mark here.
I wonder if it would be possible for the victims of these shootings to do a class action lawsuit against congressmen and women like Paul Ryan for negligence/gross negligence.
What is also sad is that the response would probably differ depending on the perpetrator's background. The GOP will move heaven and earth to protect its citizens from "the Other", but if you fit the "lone wolf" archetype (typically white male), nothing will happen.
I live in his district. I'm going to tell everyone to vote against Paul Ryan. Hell just vote in general.
See what I can do to make signs showing how much of a coward he is.

Ryan losing his seat to Ironstache is almost too good to be true.
All that needs to be said.
Fuck him and if you do pray, pray that he burns in hell where he belongs.
Paul Ryan is such a toady fuck. Shame that NRA blood money won't save him from spending an eternity in Hell.
They want to say this is a mental health issue. Hell, if they would even do something about getting people better mental healthcare that would at least be something. They aren't even doing anything about that though. It's literally nothing and hope you leave them alone till the next one.
Was just about to mention this passage. Even religious folks should know that empty prayers with no action is meaningless
It's shit like this that absolutely fucking infuriates me. This motherfucker is using belief and manipulating people that already have maleable minds into buying into his bullshit. Pray for something in one hand, shit in the other and tell me which fills up faster fuck face. I'm not religious(obviously) and hold no ill will towards any denomination but as I get older and see how its used to manipulate our laws and people I grow to hate it.
In The United States, we have lots of prayers and little gun control.
In Western Europe, they have lots of gun control and little prayer.
Which one has the bigger problem with mass shootings again?

Word-for-word what I always say in situations like this. Death would be too good a fate for vile refuse like him.
I happened to go by and see my parents and they were watching Ingraham's show, and she was going in hard on how elite liberals hate religious people and are making fun of them. Brought up Wheaton's tweet and so on.
Ask Rick Perry how praying for rain worked out for him.
He'll be easy to find, he's the guy in charge of the nukes.
It's a pity the assault an education gives America no chance to overcome such stupidity. If the Dems get back in and get a lot of power, education needs to be a priority for everyone. I can't think of any other way to turn America around. These assholes prey on stupidity and make sure people stay stupid.
As a catholic I concur with this assessment. But remember the Paul's base is evangelicals. You're not getting through to those guys
"Prayer works!" screams the charlatan who takes money from the NRA and other like-minded lobbyists.
