Gang of Eight’s Semi-Success, for Now
National Review ^ | June 28, 2013 | National Review

Posted on 06/28/2013 7:33:00 AM PDT by National Review

Opponents are optimistic that the House will put the brakes on.

By Andrew Stiles

In the end, Gang of Eight members failed to secure the 70 votes they wanted for their immigration-reform bill, which passed the Senate 68 to 32 on Thursday, after months of mostly secret negotiations.

Totally untrue. The GOP isn’t monolithic and most members are on our side.

Utter B.S. You are delusional to believe that.

Let's bookmark this post and come back after Labor day. I am 100% certain that after "conference" there will be the exact Immigration bill the evil Statists in both parties desire.

The GOP-e are as traitorous as any on the left.

so, are you happily confident that immigration will fail? LOL. One has to be delusional to think the GOP will defeat this monstrosity.

The GOP must be destroyed. We need to move the huge Conservative base to a new party. Let the Statists have their Party.

Bush and Hillary can form a 2016 ticket.

A new Conservative party is the only way to save this Republic.

Dumb, troll-like thinking. A 3rd party means losing and losing and losing. In politics only winning counts.

Just so you know: we’re winning.

Look here:

Not familiar with the RSC?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_Study_Committee

They’re at their highest membership ever and represent a majority of the GOP in the House for the first time:

Find your Rep. and thank him/her. Give them your support and send them a few bucks. Stop ragging on the GOP, if you continue to undermine them you’re a traitor and 5th Columnist.

Building up the GOP is the way to go. Stop tearing it down, learn something and support those doing something.

What a crock of sh*t. You are definitely a ROVIAN drone. Face it, millions of us are absolutely fed up with the GOP

I would enthusiastically join a new second party.

Take this to the bank: I am so mad at the GOP that would not hesitate to vote for Hillary over Jeb Bush. I cannot stand the arrogant elitists like Rove and the other slime you so LOVE.

P.S. I wont have to vote for Hillary because, hopefully, by 2016 a new Second party will be ascendent and steamrolling over the pukes like you that support the GOP. Go worship the GOP Statist party. I am through.

You post these useless stupid links. Do you think I would go and look at "just words"?? Do you the intellectual honest to realize that power lies with the Statist of both parties.

These absolutely useless study groups are a total waste of time.The GOP-e power broker jokers laugh at fools who think these groups will make a difference.

I fully expect if an immigration bill is signed that Sarah will led the effort to form a new second party.

Many true Conservatives in the current GOP will leave in mass and join the party.

The GOP must be destroyed and humilated.

You and your pal Rove can stay in the dying Statist party.

You definitely must be part of the GOP-e. I will do everything in my power to persuade as many people to never give a dime to the GOP.

The GOP needs to be destroyed. They have betrayed us for the last time.

You sound like a movie character, an act of fiction.

Why on earth wouldn't you look at the sites I posted to you? Why wouldn't you investigate what's really going in in the GOP? You say they're only words, you type words and you read words on FR.

If you don't want to think, don't. But, please, stop lying and trolling around here.

LOL. I know enough not to waste my time.

Again, do you understand that if the GOP-e has their way , they will help destroy this Republic?

All the useless links you post I sure will sound like some ideal expression of civics found in some 50's class texts.

Again those links are an absolute waste of time -- full of useless c*ap.

You say they're only words, you type words and you read words on FR.

I have donated directly to Conservatives, I have participated in many Tea Party events. I do more than just type words

If you don't want to think, don't. But, please, stop lying and trolling around here.

Trolling? ridiculous.

Believe me, I read a lot and I think a lot. If people thought the Tea Party had great energy. If the Statists in both parties were shaken to their core at the success of the Tea Party in 2010, then just imagine the fear they will have when a new Second party explodes on the scene.

P.S. Please tell Rove and all your GOP-e friends we are going to destroy them politically. I will take great joy seeing the GOP Rinos have to move to the RAT party as the GOP dies.

This illegal Immigration bill will truly waken the sleeping giant of working Americans against the arrogant elites.

Traitor? LOL... Look in the mirror -- your blind allegiance to the GOP-e is traitorous to our Constitution..

Yes, I am proud to be a Conservative who desires the destruction of the GOP (via a mass movement to a new Conservative party).

You can stay with the GOP-e and work on your study committees.

I don’t have any GOPe friends. Either vote for the most conservative GOP candidate or yield your vote to the Democrats. That’s the political reality you face.

That you don’t know the conservative majority and their continuing victory in the GOP tells me you don’t know much. We’re not losing.

That you cannot distinguish between a GOP conservative and the GOP elite marks you as a non-thinker. Look at those links. See the actual members. Know that they’re a majority of the GOP majority in the House. That’s what’s holding Boehner’s feet to the fire. We’re winning. Whining about some imaginary 3rd party is a joke. The only reason to ever vote 3rd party is if the Dems are voting 4th party or if you like losing and turning the country over to liberals.

LOL are you serious?? You truly can't see reality.

Yea, we are winning --- I see Obamacare being defunded (NOT), I see Special Prosecutor for the IRS scandal being pushed forward (NOT)

Boy, we are definitely not going to have any 1200 page Immigration bill passed by the House, no way!! Yea, Boehner will just pass a 12 page Secure/Seal the border bill!! LOL, LOL..

If you believe we Conservatives are winning, then you are deep in the bowels of the nuance of Political theater -- not the real world of watching D.C. destroy our Republic.

I am bookmarking this thread and will come back to you after the conference bill from the House passes and is signed by the President.

I feel sorry that you believe the idiocy that must be posted at the useless links you posted. Some people are so gullible.

And YES, a new second party is inevitable and it will destroy the useless GOP.

I still can't stop laughing at the line, we are winnng... LOL. Thanks for the laugh....
