Congress sends ‘clean’ Homeland bill to Obama
The Washington Times ^ | March 3, 2015 | Eric Werner and David Espo (Associated Press)

WASHINGTON — Congress is sending President Obama a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security through the end of the budget year, without overturning the president’s immigration policies.

The House on Tuesday voted 257-167 for the measure that Obama is expected to sign. Without action, funding for the department would have expired Friday at midnight.

“State by state rebellion is the only hope.”

Agreed. We should ignore DC, forget about trying to primary those guys, and work on getting Patriots elected in our states. That should be our only interface with the political process. Everything else is a waste of effort.

Why do we even need a Congress anymore?

Unfortunately, Obama shares your sentiments.

Unfortunately, Congress shares the same sentiment.

So...everyone one of the so called conservatives that voted for the CR and then for Boehner in January need to

Change their party affiliation and force this scumbag into the minority, maybe he would get the hint and step aside. The newly created opposition Party Caucus could then form a coalition and maybe get a voice before the GOPe completely destroys the Republic.

If they don't do that or something akin to that then the people will have to assure the freedom of their children, or just feed them to the crocodiles like we have been.

The lawsuit will now be dismissed because by passing the bill, Congress is agreeing with Obama’s power play.

The idiots.

Even the republican leadership charade was incompetent. They knew they were going to screw us from the get go. At least could have run a somewhat convincing fake-out. Instead they set us up for gross humiliation.

This is what happens when congress announces that impeachment and shut-down are off the table. Congress now has no power at all except to roll over and accept whatever an america hating muslim communist chooses to do to us.

Bingo!

The only thing I can see that can be done in Congress is for the non traitors to withdraw from the GOP and form a coalition under a new banner. That would deny the GOP majority status and effectively kill off the GOPe, of course the GOPe could always just register themselves in their true party and head that off, but at least the people would finally know who the traitors are for sure.

One little mentioned fact. A few years ago, a study showed that for every 2 dollars spent by lobbyists, they made 140 in profit for their employers. Lobby spending has quintupled since then. The big money OWNS these politicians. State rebellion is the only answer ....and quickly too.

I don’t see any Kansans, thank goodness. They truly would have had to never come back if they had voted for this.

The weasel who used to represent me poorly would have been on that list but we booted him delaying this betrayal by the GOP. They had it planned for last summer. Eric Cantor’s loss shook them up.
Dave Brat isn’t on that list I’m glad to say.

If this is used in court as proof that Congress approves of what Owebowmao is doing, it could be very bad.
