Boehner hints a back down on 'amnesty'
The Washington Times ^ | March 29, 2006 | Charles hurt

Posted on 03/29/2006 7:15:28 AM PST by surely_you_jest

House Majority Leader John A. Boehner refused yesterday to rule out compromising with the Senate to expand the House border security bill to include a guest-worker program or provisions that opponents call "amnesty." "Let's wait and see what the Senate can produce," he told reporters yesterday when asked whether House Republicans would reject the Senate Judiciary Committee's proposal to allow the estimated 12 million illegal aliens now in the U.S. to seek citizenship after paying a fine.

Well, where is the damn flag?

Put up or shut up.

She asked you why none had been arrested and you tried to pass off a picture of some Mexicans boys.

I can assume that once again your mouth has written a check you can't cash.

LOL...you're delusional, as usual.

Go froth at someone else and mind your own business.

Most of our political elites don't give a rat's a** about America or ordinary Americans. They are interested in lining their pockets when in office and cashing in after leaving.

BUMP!!

I have thought on the matter and concluded the fix has always been in. The plan has been well developed and a part has been assigned to all the players. The plan and the working through the plan is designed to minimize political damage to the incumbent Republicans while developinf solution to the problem.

The bifurcated problem requires dual action. There must be real border security. There must be a procedure for allowing conversion from illegal to legal.

The House bill and the Senate bill allow both.

The house incumbents require the most political cover. The incumbents must be allowed to strongly support a bill that is very strong in securing the border and dealing with those who enter in violation. This very strong piece of work allows those who voted for it to go home and boast they did their part. They actually put the rubber on the road and voted for a very strong bill.

The Senate does not have the same problem. Republican Senators have a little more lee way. Some can oppose the Senate bill if politically necessary or at least play with ammendments that make their effort vote worthy even if defeated. The Senate will deal with the manner in which Mexicans are allowed to stay as workers.

The President has had input and perhaps his people are quietly coordinating the total efort out of sight. I'm convinced that what appears to be a somewhat chaotic process is actually a carefully managed process to develop a solution while controlling potential political damage.

Power politics at its very best.

They both want Republicans destroyed and Bush impeached.

And then there are 99% of FReepers, who simply want Republicans, including the President, to do the right thing.

as you can see, same old cowards-- same old antics, different day. im impressed that you sit here and try to establish a dialogue with these knuckle draggers-- frankly its not worth my time :)

Hey Sweetie, do you see the irony? You ping yer little clown posse, you speak ill of us to others, yet you quake in fear when we address you directly. I believe the technical term is Papa Uniform Double Sierra Yankee.

And she still thinks she's smarter than us! :-D

"Republicans can shove it and go back to being a minority for another 40 years. Thanks alot, slime! I refuse to support your party. You will ruin this country.

BTW, I am not a racist."

Does this mean we should take you off the donors list, and you won't be Manning the phone banks in Nov.?

PS...Glad you're not a racist.

"(Remember folks, this is the same goober who proclaimed himself a simple objective observer of the thread - right after his l'il posse pinged him.)"

Do you mean THIS post of mine?:

"That's a mighty impressive rebuttal, especially after taking that beating in that battle of "wits," but to the neutral observer, it was all one-sided."

Nice try John L., but you can't even get your premise right.

And you want to talk about a "posse"??

You're the one whose klatsch with the biddies has been hilarious.

Other Freepers are dying to know: Do you and the other girls keep each other up to date with the latest issues of Good Housekeeping?

I feel for the mods. It's probably pretty hard to distinguish from the DUmmy infiltrators and the rabid third-party, one-issue posters.

They both want Republicans destroyed and Bush impeached.






You know, DG, I wholeheartedly agree. All joking aside, a mod's job has to be painful and tedious. I won't say anything else, lest there be one reading along and thinking "what a kiss up" --- I mean what I wrote seriously.

Earlier today, you weren't here, but some poster made coop, howlin and myself mods! Imagine THAT! IF ONLY! LOL.

Screw Harlem. They already have their homey living there. We could use Jenna's talent here in Chesterfield County where she would be appreciated. Hell, we could even invite her parents over for a white cook out.

You're a damn liar, EV.

Here's the caption that you're trying to pass off as something it's not.

Officers of the Los Angeles Police Department ticket a group of students for TRUANCY in Harbor City, California March 28, 2006, after the students did not return to school following earlier demonstrations in Carson, California. The students were voicing their opposition to congressional bill HR 4437, a bill designed to strengthen the enforcement of immigration law. REUTERS/Lucas Jackson

You DO know what premise means, right? They do use that word on the other forums, I presume?
