TREY GOWDY: OBAMA IS WRONG ON IMMIGRATION BUT CONGRESS SHOULDN’T TAKE THE BAIT
FOX NEWS VIDEO ON THE RIGHT SCOOP ^ | POSTED ON DECEMBER 3, 2014 | FOX NEWS

Posted on 12/03/2014 8:46:58 AM PST by gwgn02

Trey Gowdy argues that Obama is completely wrong on immigration and that he is definitely abusing the idea of prosecutorial discretion. But when it comes to doing something about it, he says that the president wants the ratings of Congress to be as low as his and that they shouldn’t take the bait and shut the government down.

If George Bush (and the republicans) had kept his promise

But, but, but they promised. Well the (R) is always better than the (d) right?

It’s because those ‘freepers’ are here for one purpose. To spread liberalism. And they do it with no remorse. They no more believe in the Founders vision, writings and clear statements on governance than Barry Obama.

Gowdy can either exercise the power invested in him by the Constitution/the voters or he can step down for someone with courage and integrity.

People who do not wish Congress to act fully in accordance with it’s authority need to find a new country as America clearly isn’t for them.

How it looks in the polls should in no way deter Trey from taking the proper action.

Com’on Trey, you know better.

They run to whatever RINO the GOP fronts and condemn anyone rejecting that and voting conservative, they make excuse after excuse for the inaction of the RINO congress and condemn anyone who speaks against it.

When you murder, you are a murderer. When you rape, you are a rapist. When you clean toilets for money, you’re a janitor and when you act like a liberal, you are a liberal. these frauds can lie to themselves about how ‘patriotic’ and ‘conservative’ they are, but their actions show otherwise. they are liberals.

Doesn’t take much intelligence to figure out that amnesty doesn’t matter if the border is wide open.

As long as it is possible to live and work here without ever learning to speak English and there are no consequences for being illegal, then nothing at all matters. We will have become El Norte.

Exactly, and it does get old. How the hell do we replace lib Reps with conservatives, when so many just roll over. I include many FReepers here. Now, Boehner & McConnell and many other DC whores are going to sell us out on everything truly important.

Big business, and the Chamber of Commerce wants Obamacare. It will NOT be defunded.

Only a national insurrection by the people can save us.

I’ve said it repeatedly. We aren’t gonna fix squat until we fix our own house. And the sheer number of Liberals that have infiltrated the right overall have on goal. Ensure we never get our shit together.

Thats what all the PDS, the ‘keep the powder dry’, the ‘lesser evil’ and the ‘dem is always worse’ crowd is about. Keeping us fighting them and each other so as no meeting of the minds ever takes place. Is it any wonder so many have simply walked away? Is it any wonder no one worth anything runs for office?

Who in their right mind would? Here on the furthest right of all websites, it’s a RINO lovefest every day. Day after day. And it’s worse on other sites. The entire right needs a gut check. We can either purge the liberals from our ranks and work together or just give up. Because all we are doing now is acting like a bunch of old ladies at a Kanasta party.

Where all those frauds that PROMISED feet to the fire? WHERE ARE THEY???? Same place they always were. Laughing their asses off at conservatives because they managed to pull another liberal victory out of said fire. If we really are this stupid, we deserve to lose it all.

We predicted this, of course. If it weren’t so serious, I could laugh at their pathetic explanations, but it is our country we are fighting for, not some damn politician.

Remember the government shutdown led by Ted Cruz in 2013 over Obamacare? How much did that hurt the Reps in the 2014 midterms?

Touché.

I say we demand real, effective, proven border security for not less than 5 years before we even speak to democrats about amnesty.

Sounds good to me as long as we deport the violent/drug trafficking criminal elements, too.

Exactly right. If giving up and doing nothing would solve the problem it would have already been solved.

If the action of Obama stands the Constitution is destroyed. Is that not reason enough to fight him? The separation of powers should not even be a liberal-conservative issue. All should want to stop Obama from becoming a dictator.

Waiting two years is not the answer. Drastic means are called for. This is ACTUALLY a constitutional crisis.

I wish it weren’t so but Trey Gowdy has been for amnesty all along.

He sounds great when he is grilling Obama’s crooked comrades, but he’s never been for enforcing the law and deporting illegals out of the country.

“Trey Gowdy FReepers lets hear how good he is. He is a Chamber whore.”

Sad but true. He’s no Jeff Sessions.

Those of us who keep an eye on the GOPe’s amnesty treachery already knew this. A pity because Gowdy could have been a valuable ally to immigration patriots. But the treason lobby pays best in the GOP.

Sure looks like Gowdy is following Issa’s example - all talk and no action.

You’re absolutely right.

The refusal of politicians to deport foreign nationals is defacto amnesty. All the rest is kabuki theater.
