Boehner: Amnesty After GOP Primary Filing Deadlines
Breibart.com ^ | December 4, 2013 | Matthew Boyle

A new report from the Texas-based Quorum Report, published by longtime Texas journalist Harvey Kronberg, says that House Speaker John Boehner plans to push amnesty legislation through the House, after the primary filing deadline for candidates. The move would prevent Tea Party from challenging GOP lawmakers who support amnesty in 2014.

. . . Boehner hired amnesty advocate Rebecca Tallent as his new immigration policy adviser. “Rebecca Tallent will join the office as Assistant to the Speaker for Policy handling immigration issues,” Boehner’s office said in a release on Tuesday. Tallent previously worked for Senate “Gang of Eight” member Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) on immigration policy. She helped him and the late Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) draft their final immigration proposal—one that ultimately failed.

It sounds like the Republicans are going to sell us out. Well, that’s nothing new.

If Amnesty passes - and it looks like it will - we are finished. Ohio I hope you’re happy.

What’s to stop them, knowing as they do the treachery of RINO’s, from filing all the same guys they would have had the RINO’s betrayed their oaths before the deadline? Then if they need to oppose the incumbent they can do so, and if the sky splits open and it’s revealed that the guy actually wants to do his job, they can withdraw. But what would have to happen to convince you the RINO’s are reformed??? Is there anything that could do that? Haven’t just the betrayals they’ve perpetrated to date justified their being primaried?? Why is the clock always getting started from scratch as if history never happened?

I cannot wait for him to start a call to Fix O care. This POS has pissed me off now for 3 going on 4 years. He dissed the tea party electees and paid them token gratis for the GOP victory in 2010. From my perspective, he can stick his party designation where the sun don’t shine because any GOPer who votes for this drunk’s idea of immigration refore is not getting any support from me and in fact if they run I have already told them I will vote for the dem candidate hopefully to get them out. I figure, at least they know what they stand up for, I cannot abide a liar.

So frustrated that if this happens I will either refuse to vote (a first for me) or hold my nose and intentionally vote against the GOPe. After all, I’ve been holding my nose while voting RINO for the last several years now...

What is the point of being a law abiding citizen? Why do illegals get to break laws for years, and we law abiding citizens just pay and pay and pay?

What is the difference between Boehner’s party and the Democrats?

Why is there no select committees for Fast and Furious, the IRS scandal, Benghazi and the ACA web debacle?

Boner has been hanging out with Reid too much.

Gee, isn’t that special.

Thanks for selling out your country for a tanning bed and all the scotch and sodas you can drink.

Ohio is NOT happy. The only people responsible for returning this clown to the House are the voters of his congressional district, the Ohio 8th District.
But, thanks for thinking of us.

Everyone already knows more or less who will vote for amnesty and who won’t so I don’t see the benefit of his strategy. What’s to stop us from being proactive with our votes? At least us smart ones. I know that Kevin McCarthy will vote with Boehner and he is my rep so no vote for him!

Pretty much the same conclusion I came up with.
I made a brochure that illustrates it:

For tens of millions of conservatives, including myself, this will be the final
straw of supporting the GOP.

Many illegal aliens fight and sometimes injure Border Patrol Agents (my son was one that was injured once by an illegal alien), but yet, Bonehead wants to grant those illegals amnesty. . .to reward them for injuring Border Patrol Agents and then getting away?

What the heck!!!

Oh. . .and not to mention all the illegals that are driving drunk and killing Americans.

MOST illegal aliens are not the poor-suffering-honest-hard-working peasants that the left (and Bonehead) want us to believe they are, they are simply crooks and criminals of no value to even the cesspool called “mexico.”
