**SNIP**

“For the first time, Speaker Boehner said he won’t let the minority of his caucus — the tea party minority — run the show,” Mr. Schumer said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.”

**SNIP**

“The Republican leadership realizes if we don’t do immigration and get immigration reform done, it hurts them politically,” Mr. Schumer said.

when we start letting a slimeball like schumer set off a civil war, we are doing for the democrats what they can’t do for themselves; giving them a chance to retain the senate.

I got a phone call from the ‘rat party a couple of days ago soliciting funds to fight the boogy-man TEA Party.

Boehner breaks with conservatives to join with Schumer and Reid, helping Democrats anyway he can.

The Dems would give anything for it.

There’s no way they’re getting it.

A solid point. But Chucky is right. I hate ever admitting a Dam is right but he is. Bhoner is well on track to sell out America to Democrat voter reform.

It’s the ugly truth.

They're going to pass a little piece...Obama will say it's his gift to the illegals...

When they wake up, the illegals will realize that signing on the dotted line has consequences...like taxes....

It hurts the GOP politically to open the gate for undocumented Democrats.

RE :” Schumer: Immigration reform possible in 2014 because of Boehner’s tea party break”

*Republican Strategist* and McCain's ‘friend’ Ana Navarro was on ABC This Week AGAIN saying the same thing.

That the new Boehner is going to pass amnesty by ignoring House conservatives.

And why is she a Republican?

Boehner is such a weak leader, and garners such low respect from his own party the Democrats can sit back and through bombs watching the party tear itself apart. Does anyone believe a rumor about Reid pushing a conservative idea would get any traction at all? Still, I don’t think Boehner has whats best for the country at heart, and he will do the Democrats dirty work. At this point I think they are calculating how far to the left they can govern and still hold the house.

But enrolling millions of illegals as Democrat voters after amnesty is going to help the GOP? Is Boehner brain damaged? He is obviously too ignorant to be Speaker.

The GOP-e thinks amnesty will help them win more elections, here is a video of the democrat response:

Not really. Everytine he leads the GOP to yet another cave, he has his little helpers running around right wing websites and media telling the growingly pissed off base that the other guy is worse, lesser evils are needed because conservatives can’t be elected and other garbace like that.

Just read any post on this topic over the last year. You’ll find plenty of exactly what I’m talking about.

So the end result is that Bhoner gets what Obama wants, keeps getting compromising moderates and outright libs elected on the left and America is hosed.

Bhoner deserves a lot of blame. But he’d be powerless without his little helpers convincing people there is no other way but the GOP..

And his little helpers can pack a lunch on proving me wrong. They’ll need it.

Maybe, just maybe John Boehner is playing the full chessboard, thinking ahead by three or four moves, I hope. Maybe he wants to have the Dems commit publicly to certain conditions, then at the last minute, do a “Barack” on them, have pen in hand, smiling and so ready to sign away the GOP, as long as X.....and Y...... conditions are kept without effecting the budget. I know, and maybe there are spiders on Mars! The Boehner Tea Bashing is so enthusiastic, and criticism from the right is so absent, that I’m starting to wonder,, it this all a set up, hoping the house of cards will fall onto the dems, crushing their dreams finally, and not ours again?
