Sessions: House GOP Is On the Verge Of Breaking 2014 Campaign Promises
National Review Online ^ | December 2, 2014 | Joel Gehrke

Senator Jeff Sessions (R., Ala.) suggested that House Republicans are on the verge of breaking their campaign promise to fight President Obama’s administrative amnesty, as evidenced by the legislative text currently being circulated.

Sessions said that the proposed language “fails to meet [the] test” established by Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus, who promised earlier this year that the GOP would do everything possible to thwart Obama’s executive orders.

“The executive amnesty language is substantially weaker than the language the House adopted this summer, and does not reject the central tenets of the President’s plan: work permits, Social Security and Medicare to 5 million illegal immigrants—reducing wages, jobs and benefits for Americans,” Sessions said in the statement expressing his dissatisfaction with the results of a House Republican conference meeting.

“Hands up. Don’t f*** me.”

Maybe it’s time the rest of us jumped on this rioting bandwagon. Seems to work for everyone else. Let’s see how much “society” they control when society rebels.

And does not voting at all get you anything different?

If the “lesser” is in office instead of a democrat there is at least the chance of pushing them back into line at the point of a sword; no chance when a democrat wins.

I’m on for that. Seems that our “representatives” think they are anointed to screw then entire country if they so desire. They need to be shown the error of their thinking.

Well first you have to get the right off of their lazy asses and start screaming at these people.

While the left has been going apes*it over a dead thug, the best you will get from us over this is whining online and passing around blog posts about how the nation would be better off with the Democrats running everything.

We certainly can find the time to yell online or on the radio, do nothing, and then call the GOPe spineless though.

“We all knew that McConnell and Bonehead were not on our side”
And the GOP knows that conservatives, that undefined middle and general `rat ennui gave the GOP a Mandate, with a capital m.
They can either use it or lose it. (And “it” can stand for their power or their party.)

The problem with Nancy Pelosi as Speaker was that she was a highly partisan, Democrat extremist. So is Boehner.

you can’t use logic and reason to reach certain Freepers. They are hell bent on being unhappy.

Lesser of two evils? You know, that was considered a GOOD THING when that cliche was formed. It was considered a wise choice in a difficult situation, where there were not any good options. If evil is bad, then less evil is less bad.

There I go again, using logic. Maybe we shouldn’t cast our pearls before this swine.

If the GOP can’t stop (or either, fully supports and is thus unwilling to stop) Obama’s amnesty lawlessness, there is absolutely no reason for the GOP to exist, much less be supported.

More than probably anything, this will determine whether a new third Party is absolutely necessitated in 2016.
