HALEY BARBOUR: CONGRESS CAN STILL PASS AMNESTY AFTER CANTOR DEFEAT
Breitbart Big Government ^ | 16 Jun 2014 | by TONY LEE

Posted on 06/16/2014 8:04:02 PM PDT by kingattax

On Monday, despite House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's (R-VA) shocking primary loss last week that was viewed as a referendum against amnesty legislation, former Mississippi Governor and lobbyist Haley Barbour said the House could still pass amnesty legislation this year.

"I don't think Eric's loss should have anything to do with it," Barbour said at the New York Meeting before pushing for a bill that would give a pathway to citizenship to "everybody's who's here illegally" so long as they confess they are in America illegally, pay fines and back taxes, and are put on probation.

Barbour said the House should pass "a very strong bill" that is to the right of the Senate's comprehensive amnesty bill and emphasized that "we gotta control the border at the end of the day or the American people will have a right to be furious with us."

Thought he was one of the good guys years ago.


He supports thad. He’s not one of the good guys. He’s a sell out.

His kind have been in leadership for a long time. They failed. Time to replace these clowns.

Nope. RINOs won’t go away ever. Let’s see.. Cantor gets DESTROYED in what should be a perfunctory election, and the establishment Republicans STILL think it’s situation normal.. Kiss my arse RINO pukes!

He is as corrupt as corrupt can get. He’d sell out the interests of American citizens for a few tens of thousands of “consultant” dollars. And he is selling out our interests as we speak.

An early thing that our Mississippi patriots can do to weaken this cabal of traitors is to vote the Barbour puppet Cochran out of office next week.

Barbour just might be terminally infected with the dreaded Boehnerism cancer.

The always present symptom of Boehnerism is an immediate cave-in to whatever any “best friend” Democrat wants.

Yep, we will need lots of velvet theatre ropes when Jose and Pedro queue up to pay those fines and back taxes. They’re just so honest.

The desire for fat seven figure checks from corporate interests can buy off allot of people. Haley is just a high priced whore, but no less a whore than your average street walker.

The checks from the ruling class are still cashing. However, if Haley can't deliver, they might not be coming to him anymore. Then where will he go, the Tea Party? The democrats?

Haley has gone over to the dark side.

Years ago, as Repub Chairman, he called things straight and went right to the heart of matters. Now, he sounds like head of the GOP-e, trying to be successor to Rove.

Not quick learners, are they?

No, they are. Remember Obamney Care? The Dims lost big so they just doubled down on it all while they still could! The “Establishment” has learned from the Dims (just as the Mexicans have learned from their early TX mistake with open borders).

Ok, they have not learned from the Dims how to defeat the Dims; they have learned from the Dims how to JOIN the Dims; and to hell with the base, the future of the country, the Constitution, freedom, security, etc. They can force this down our gullets against our will and feel good about it. Minitrue will praise them. The Dims will praise them. The rest of us don’t matter.

The establishment is as much the enemy as the dims are.

His salary won’t count for much if we parachute him into Venezuela or N Korea to experience utopia.

The weak effort to rally support for in the face of outright rejection by Mississippi voters PROVES that the Repubican Party is corrupt, venal, and mindless.
