Boehner Caves on Amnesty
Foxnews ^ | March 3rd, 2015 | Richard Manning

“We were never going to win in Congress.”

That is the epitaph spoken by Speaker Boehner ally Representative Tom Cole on the collapse of House Leadership’s resolve to legislatively fight Executive Amnesty.

It may also be the final nail in the coffin for the notion of co-equal branches of government, as President Obama has already announced that he is considering using unilateral executive actions to ban ammunition and raise corporate taxes, on top of his massive Internet regulation announced last week.

It’s too late for that. Do you realize how many immigrants are coming? And they will be fast tracked to the voting booth in time for 2016. It’s over.

There is only one option left.

This must now be a multi-state war against D.C. politicians.

The states must take back the power.

The political elite will do whatever they darn well feel like doing. To heck with the average American.

I’m seriously considering voting a straight D ticket. Give them total control, because the sooner they burn the place to the ground, the sooner LIVs will take notice and we can rebuild. If the LIVs don’t take notice, there was never a chance.

As Ted Cruz said, the reason the obzo amnesty funding was attached to the funding of the DHS was a ploy to ensure it all passed intact. It was a given before the theatrics ever started.

[ I need to go back and read some 1840s and 1850s newspapers to see if anti-slavery Whigs were pulling their hair out in frustration at the Whig party surrendering to Democrats again and again and again. ]

Charles Sumner got almost pounded to death by pro slavery dems....

...as little banty roosters like Senator Lindsey Graham flap their arms and claim they have the votes to stop any Obama nuclear deal with Iran, it doesn’t matter, because Obama won’t follow the law anyway.

Exactly right.

Obama is lawless, and we need a Republican leadership who recognizes the truth.

Your assessment agrees with mine. Amnesty that gives the Rats a permanent majority AND capitulation on executive power that puts the last bullet through the head of the Constitution. Boner has done one hell of a day’s work. A whole lot of misery, anguish and injustice is going to be on him.

He didn’t have to win the DHS vote. All he had to do was tie it up and keep a clean bill from passing. Shutting DHS vs losing our nation is a no-brainer. He had the ability to stop this and he did not do it. He chose the worst of the options.

We had a great country while it was ours.

” What’s Boner’s excuse? And does anyone “follow” McConnell? “

I followed McConnell the past few years where he went from middle class to RICH.

How?

Yeah, you know how.

Reagan: “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”

I never dreamed it would be in my generation that we lost it all, but it seems we have.

Why do you say “Boehner caves”, as if Boehner was ever opposed to amnesty to begin with?

He caved when the script for the ruse said: "Boehner caves."

He does realize that HE is in congress, right?
