Jarrett backtracked? She still got her talking points out though. You know the 0bots are hitting message boards and social media with what she said as fact to try to put more pressure on repubs to pass amnesty. I quit dealing with 0bots because they are just as power hungry, loyal, and insane as the Nazi party that come to power in Germany in the early 1900’s. I just hope and pray, there is still enough of us that support the Constitution, to defeat these insane power hungry useful idiots.

Summer Recess is from Aug 5th - Sept 6th so Obama and Boehner and Schumer don’t have a lot of time to get an Amnesty Bill passed and into Schumer’s conference. So of course they are coordinating their statements.

Boner is a damn fool if he intends to pass ANY bill that will allow Slimy Reid to strip the guts and shove in his own language ala zerocare.

Knowing Bonehead however, I would not be surprised if it is true.

“That’s why there can be no letting up.”

Agreed. It’s pretty clear what’s going on. It’s often what’s not said that’s just as important as what is said, and the Internet gives us the capability to see piece together what’s going on behind the scenes.

In the military, we’d use the term Essential Elements of Friendly Information (EEFIs) to describe information that wasn’t classified but could be used to indirectly reveal classified information. For example, an order for a lot more fuel, a sudden increase in demand for child care, and more traffic in and out of base are not classified, but that information could point to a classified event.

The Chamber of Commerce suddenly starts talking about how badly they need skilled workers, Jeb Bush starts preaching about how it’s an act of love to come here illegally, the press starts cranking out sob stories about individual illegal aliens, etc. and I’m not supposed to realize there’s there’s a coordinated effort going on behind the scenes? It’s not like these people don’t talk to each other and make plans.

Consider marriage “equality.” There was a time not too long ago when no one used that term. It was always gay marriage before that. Suddenly, everyone’s calling it marriage “equality,” because gay marriage was taking a drubbing in state after state. Tell me that wasn’t a planned marketing change.

Bottom line: the GOPe wants amnesty badly, and they’re working with the left to get it done.

The immigration issue is really seeming alot like peace in the Middle East. Arafat, even when offered all he wanted, never was satisfied because he wanted to keep it as a dividing tool and political issue. This slip was not accidental.

That leaves two options. The first is that she inadvertently let slip the existence of a secret deal in a public forum. Again, not something she’s known for.

I think that is exactly the case. You just have to look at what Boehner has said; what Cantor has said; what Ryan has said; what Cathy McMorris-Rodgers said; what Mario Diaz-Balart has said; what Bob Goodlatte has said; etc.

The telltale sign is that folks like Zuckerberg and the many donors who signed a letter to the GOP are still pressing ahead. These are not stupid people who would waste their time on a futile effort. They have been given some assurances by the GOP House leadership.

As someone who lobbies on the Hill on immigration issues, I can tell you that the next three months are a time of great danger. The pressure is enormous. And if they don't get amnesty this summer, they will definitely push hard to do it during the lame duck session even if the Reps were to win the Senate. Both parties have abandoned the American worker and are in the pockets of the corporate elites.

Oh, I don’t disagree.

I just disagree that what she said was inadvertent. It was deliberate and planned to help splinter off a significant chunk of the GOP base and encourage them not to vote in November.

It was meant to put additional pressure on Boehner to come across with whatever he agreed to. No doubt, they probably have it recorded somewhere.

The fact that Boehner is making voluntary, relatively public remarks about getting an immigration bill out of the House this year in front of Rep donors should tell you something. Doesn't that help splinter a significant chunk of the base off? And Boehner just won his primary easily.

House Speaker John Boehner and his Republican leadership team are telling donors and industry groups that they want to pass immigration legislation this year, despite the reluctance of other party members to tackle the divisive issue before the November elections.

Many lawmakers and activists have assumed the issue was off the table in an election year. But Boehner, R-Ohio, said at a recent Las Vegas fundraiser that he was "hell-bent on getting this done this year," two people in the room told The Wall Street Journal.

A Boehner spokesman didn't dispute the account but said no action is possible until President Obama proves himself a trustworthy partner to Republicans.

Interesting. The one sure way to ensure republicans lose is to keep saying republicans love amnesty. This means Boehner is really trying to screw us. Illegals WILL NEVER EVER EVER vote republican. Never!
