Boehner Caves on Amnesty
Foxnews ^ | March 3rd, 2015 | Richard Manning

“We were never going to win in Congress.”

That is the epitaph spoken by Speaker Boehner ally Representative Tom Cole on the collapse of House Leadership’s resolve to legislatively fight Executive Amnesty.

It may also be the final nail in the coffin for the notion of co-equal branches of government, as President Obama has already announced that he is considering using unilateral executive actions to ban ammunition and raise corporate taxes, on top of his massive Internet regulation announced last week.

Too bad the rest of us had to go down with them.

This is the end of the USA as we know it.

Destroyed March 3, 2015 by Republican traitors.

Why do you say “Boehner caves”, as if Boehner was ever opposed to amnesty to begin with?

Please ping all.

Note especially the point that the DoJ scum are in Hanen’s court saying that the Stay should be lifted since the Congress funded the Amnesty.

The Biggest Con Job in American history.

Welcome to Mexico.

When the end comes, remember to keep the list of those whom were the traitors.

No. Boehner won today. It’s very important that everyone understands that. Boehner did not cave. This outcome was never in question.

“We were never going to win in Congress.”

A once in a century majority was not enough for him to muster a vote.

I know no conservative here is surprised about this stuff.

For us, it’s not if, it’s when.

Until we get conservative leadership in both chambers, with balls, this is how it will be. Rinos/Gop-e need to be removed.

Only thing remaining.. Obama to annex the republican party..

Just claim it... and maybe purge a few warts.. which is doable.. i.e. Vince Foster..

I need to go back and read some 1840s and 1850s newspapers to see if anti-slavery Whigs were pulling their hair out in frustration at the Whig party surrendering to Democrats again and again and again.

We are not going to get our country back, not with a ballot.

Today, I think the experiment is actually over.

I know but...he did say

“We were never going to win in Congress.”

Implying that he at least WANTED to win.

Let the Traitors who voted with him lick the boots of the Tyrant. They value Security more than Liberty.

How a man who can only win when he divides the party he supposedly leads stay in his position I don't know.

The Rats stood firm. They voted as a block and now they are meaningless, just a Third World rubber stamp for their King.

What's Boner's excuse? And does anyone "follow" McConnell?
