Bachmann: Boehner will use ‘loophole’ to pass immigration in the House
Daily Caller ^ | June 18, 2013 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 06/18/2013 9:41:56 AM PDT by maggief

EXCERPT

“I don’t think we have a definitive on that yet,” Bachmann said. “I think there’s still a loophole that the speaker might allow himself — that he won’t hold himself to the Hastert rule. In the shorthand, this is what I think is going to happen — the very bad bill is going to be in the Senate. We’re going to have a Trojan Horse bill that will look very good. It will look like border security in the House. Conservatives will vote for it in the House. Both bills will go to conference committee. The guts will get pulled out of the good bill. Amnesty will get put in. The Senate will pass it. It will go to the House. Nancy Pelosi will deliver all of the Democrat votes and all John Boehner has to do is deliver the committee chairs that hold the gavel.”

It should not come to the floor for a vote, we have far more important issues this year.

If this passes, I’m never voting Republican again.

Really, what is the diff between the two parties now?

Professional politicians use a different standard to determine what is important or not.

And now you know why Bachmann left the House.

The guy who’s supposed to be our Fearless Leader is actually a traitor.

Believable .

Of course if that what Bohner decides to do then little or nothing can stop him.

If this passes it won’t matter. There will never be a Republican majority or Republican President again.

Boehner cannot be trusted because he is being guided by the Bush handlers to get this amnesty bill passed. Listen at Jeb Bush the other day of how he was defending his own ideas that were being included in this bill.

When we had the bail-outs happening and hundreds of thousands of the citizenry were contacting this Speaker’s office/capitol not to allow the bail outs to occur. He just told us flat out there would be no government bail outs and he did it.

I will never forget the day I had a chance to speak to his office in D.C. His top aide told us on the phone that the deal with the bail outs were already done and this was before the announcement had been made in the news while many were still writing and unknown they had no chance in stopping this. He is playing us. Call your representatives and ask them to not allow him to push this through. Take a few minutes to call or email.

We truly have no party there that supports conservatives. Much less believes in conservative principles.

We have a number of conservative congresspeople, just no party that actually is happy they are there.

I hope Gowdy doesn’t get suckered into this.

There will never be another republican governor, state legislature, mayor, or school board either!

That’s why I have not been on Snowden’s case at this point (unless he leaks military secrets).. what we have here is worse than anything ..they are helping Obama to transform the country. I can’t forgive them for that. I am not a radical. I am just a taxpayer who lives by the law.

With all due respect, using a loophole isn’t his style.

He’ll just do it to our faces.

I can’t believe Boehner isn’t mentally unstable. Sorry, but that’s my take on him.

I’m really sorry to see Bachmann stepping down.

I think she’s got this pegged perfectly.

The GOP has to refrain from passing any immigration bill this term at all. Maybe they have to try a coup against Hastert before he uses his powers to get it through.

This is really dire and any true conservative should be speaking as loudly as possible against it day and night.
