In a just concluded House GOP Conference voted 114 to 23 to reject the Senate's Amnesty Bill.
Pelosi has now signaled that the House will start fresh on the Amnesty Bill and will not just embrace the Senate version.
It looks like, in fact, the House will . . . dare we say it . . . have committee hearings on the bill.
And then it goes to committee and we wind up with the full blown BS of the Senate Bill.
And all the Repubs can say they did not vote for the bill as it appears in the final bastardized version, so don't get mad at them.
Exactly, and the name will be changed to a more comfortable name for the public time and time again until we get tired of fighting it and accept it.
The Zombie bill would make for a good name however.
The House is functioning just like the founders intended. Having to face election every two years this in theory makes them much closer to the public and therefore more likely to abide by their wishes. Since they have been receiving overwhelming rejection on both sides of the aisle, you have to believe that they will punt rather than face up to the real difficult matter of giving the public what it wants. Result, status quo ante.
So what? That’s 114 to 321.
Yes, and then an election...and the natives are restless.
In other news... A Coalition of Rattle Snakes Vows Never To Bite Again.
we don’t yet know the number of Dems in the house that oppose it. this vote was republicans only.
I think it will.
The Senators can now claim there is no point on voting for it as the House will not not support it.
Hopefully this is the nail that will seal the coffin.
I struggle with the idea that being voted out of office is just punishment for treason.
I agree, we need to make sure this treason doesn't happen again with another bunch of traitors down the road...
It’s becuause it’s getting a mexican blood transfusion from medic Jeorge./
Not exactly. Pelosi has said that it needs at least 60 pubbie votes in the House. 23 is a long way from 60.
Please ping me when it’s known who vote how. We’ll begin work on a whole new bunch, huh?
Who are the 23 that need to be sent to the unemployment office in the next primary?

“I think this is good. Maybe it will help in the Senate.”
It is time to take everyone from the senate out to the mall and shoot all of them.
They aren’t politicians anymore. They are outright criminals trying to figure out new ways to steal our money.
TERM LIMITS NOW!!!
Okay which one of your freepers ask TCM to run Treasure on Sierra Madre on their channel I am serious I check out Essential for JULY ROFL
Can’t Bushie see that the Dims are using the amnesty bill to break up the Republican party and drive their base away? It is so obvious to me. The Republican party is going to see a massive drop in donations.
It’s the Dim plan, man!
How many lives does this bill have? No one knows whats in it and it just keeps coming back? Do we need to drive a stake in its heart to kill it?
