Steve Scalise Adviser Predicts ‘Total and Complete Defeat’ for GOP on Defunding Exec Amnesty

A prominent D.C. lobbyist who advises House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) believes Republicans opposed to President Barack Obama’s executive amnesty must have a “total and complete defeat” in their defunding efforts.

In an interview with The Hill before a federal judge halted Obama’s executive amnesty on Monday evening, John Feehery said that anti-amnesty Republicans “are going to have a total and compete defeat” on attaching the defunding provisions to the Homeland Security funding bill. He said that Republicans will have to pass an unencumbered spending bill because Obama’s war resolution will be up for a vote around the same time.

Speaking of Senators like Jeff Sessions (R-AL) who believe Republicans can win the defunding fight, Feehery simply said, “that’s not going to happen.”

He said every Republican “with any type of sense” knows that a clean Homeland Security funding bill must be passed. Since House Republicans do not want to be put in a position of voting for a bill if their Senators will not vote for it, Feehery said Republicans have to be “all-in” on an unencumbered funding bill because it would be “catastrophically stupid” if the Department of Homeland Security shuts down for a couple of days. He said the “the less Republicans talk about immigration the better off they are.”

As Breitbart News has noted, “Feehery has supported Arlen Specter over Pat Toomey and favored Charlie Crist over Marco Rubio,” and he “works at a lobbying firm founded by a Bill Clinton adviser who persuaded Clinton to infamously pardon Marc Rich.“

Does Feehery have dirt or skeletons? A mistress? A drug habit? Illegal activities on the side? Let’s find out and have Breitbart publish it. THIS is what the Tea Party should do, instead of holding stupid rallies or giving money to phonies like Tea Party Patriots and FreedomWorks. Burn them all down.

He’s a made member of the syndicate oligarchy, i.e. the money managers behind the ruling aristocracy. He doesn’t need electing. He buys elections.

Because, in case you have not been paying attention, they’re not creating jobs for Americans?

This year he is busy harassing Conservative Committee chairs threatening them if they don’t tow the RINO line and otherwise being Boner’s bitch.

I could see Obama peeing in his pants to get a DHS shut-down, not because it is a PR win, but because it puts our nation at risk of an attack, just the same as executive amnesty does. Obama is all for destroying our country. Hell, it wouldn’t surprise me if Obama called up one of his Muzzie terrorist buddies to schedule an attack specifically to take advantage of a DHS shut down.

Anybody that thinks from the perspective that Obama wants to do good for our country needs to re-order their logic.

And who the hell pays Feehery’s salary, the US Chamber of Commerce?

If the Scalise sleeve listens to Feehery, he’s in the wrong party, but we knew that already when the Boner picked him.

If this worthless piece of garbage traitor John Feehery ever gets run over by an illegal alien drunk driver the needle on my “give a crap” meter will not budge.

John Feehery, surrender monkey. Full speed....reverse. The only thing we have to fear is Feehery himself.
