EXCLUSIVE:HOUSE GOP LEADERS TRICK 216 HOUSE REPUBLICANS INTO ACCIDENTALLY SUPPORTING OBAMA'S EXECUTI
BREITBART ^ | 7 December 2014 | by MATTHEW BOYLE

Posted on 12/07/2014 4:45:15 PM PST by gwgn02

In a lengthy interview on Friday afternoon, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) exposed how House Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Majority Whip Steve Scalise strengthened President Barack Obama’s executive amnesty with procedural trickery former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber would envy—and they did it all in the name of pushing a bill that they told Republicans would block Obama’s executive amnesty. What’s more is that a series of interviews and recent developments indicate that Boehner’s gambit here is placing several of his top lieutenants—including at least two committee chairmen—at political risk of serious primary challenges just a few months after newly elected Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA) beat now former House Majority Leader Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) in a Republican primary. Gohmert said most members had no idea what they were actually voting for when 219 members—216 of which were Republicans—approved a measure, H.R. 5759, first put forward by Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL), but subsequently dramatically altered by leadership officials in the Rules Committee process.

Even Mark Levin said to vote for Republicans

Maybe you listen to a professional entertainer for your political leadership.

I prefer to think for myself, and fact check back to original documents.

Levin can KMA.

Well, maybe they shouldn’t pass a damn omnibus bill.

Myabe they shouldn’t BS us by saying all we can do is pass an omnibus bill, because we are so afraid of a government shutdown that we would rather destroy the frickin’ country instead.

Historically they count on their Leadership to fairly report to them what’s in most bills.
Like a lawyer to tell one what’s in a contract.
The mere language in a bill is often not informative without some specialized background.
There has to be a minimum level of trust in the Leadership and it isn’t there.

And I repeat for anyone: Great article! Lots in it.

Amen Brother! Preach it!

You have to dig to attack the assumptions the liberals use. They do the same thing on message boards like FR.

I am so damned sick and tired of this, what was the election about?? I can't express my true feelings, but I know they were NOT tricked.

Of that we can be sure...The gave the middle finger to America...Of course the Senate Republicans will vote against it while they watch it pass...

Then maybe they should stop that crap. I reject that ground rule.

Better yet, all 216 House Republicans need to vote for a different leadership.

Why would they??? They're all on the same page...They just voted the traitor back in to leadership...

I read the full article and yes, it is a good article. Gohmert has outlined their deceit rather well.

In the article Gohmert said that the secret amendment was added after the members read the one and a half page bill.

That would be highly illegal...

I suspect that the lefties have infiltrated the staff of many Republican congress-critters.

I’m thinking of buying up some railroad ties and a few buckets of roofing tar as well as a nail gun to stick the whole thing in place ...

Nah. And if Boehner is so dishonest they have to read every word of every bill themselves he’s in great danger...
they don’t want to do that much work!

“I read the full article and yes, it is a good article. “

I was amazed. It kept going on and on but everything was useful and informative.
Heck, that’s real reporting!
