Maybe I’m being too smart by half, but there may be some strategies Boehner is using that are unannounced. Bait the bill with everything the Dems want and in one fell swoop take away all their petty charges against Republicans until next year, when the tide tightens slightly rightward, with a long way to go. *If* this is what the GOP is up to, it is not something they would telegraph. Totally counterintuitive, I know.
Do you understand that Boehner has effectively funded Obamacare through September? He has funded every tyrannical federal agency, like EPA. He has loaded up pork. He has done the bidding of Wall Street respecting Wall Street regulations-perhaps a good thing but nevertheless evidence that he has been bought and paid. He has given Obama time to administer amnesty. He is following through as Michele Bachmann is now saying on Fox with the deal with Obama to put amnesty through made in September for execution now after the election in November. I see it as further evidence that Boehner and the establishment are utterly bought and paid for, Locke, stock and conservative prayers.
You can believe that in February there'll be an honest effort to defund or otherwise deal with amnesty, I cannot.
I say again, there is no salvation except Article V.
