‘We were never going to win’: House GOP caves on immigration

Mar. 3, 2015 9:00am Pete Kasperowicz

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has told Republicans that he would call up and pass a “clean” Department of Homeland Security spending bill this week, and give up the fight to use that bill to defund President Barack Obama’s executive action on immigration.

The decision marks the end of a standoff that has lasted for several weeks — a standoff Republicans will lose to Democrats when the clean DHS bill passes.

We HAVE to elect a GOP majority in 2014 to save the Republic. It’s the most important election in history!!!

That's the way I saw it too. I campaigned, donated money, made phone calls....
FOR WHAT??
For Nothing it seems...

Next up. 0bamao issues EO to raise taxes-probably capital gains, but could be income tax. Boner and McConnell do nothing and they will let the IRS runs wild.

The upcoming SCOTUS decision on 0-care would give the dictator momentum on this issue. The IRS has decided who should get subsidies regardless of the way the law is written which specifies only state exchanges. If IRS can decide on subsidies, why not tax rates.

Boehner the Islamo-Fascist boot-licking AZZ. They held this vote of surrender TODAY, and all we got was a damn SPEECH.

“So? What part of “Opposition” don’t you get?”

It’s false opposition. Just enough to keep the people at bay
while they put the last nail in the coffin on the constitution.
There is no republican party, there are only conservatives
and those who lie and say they are conservative. They,
along with Cheney, Rove, and Bush, are nothing more than
liberals pretending to be republicans. They always have
been.

Secession or military coup. A conventional political solution is impossible.
I think that the US history will start resembling French history with deeply divided factions and periodic coups and revolutions.

“The problem is the GOP is every bit as sold out, as democrats.”

What did the democrats sell out on?

As for gun control, you don’t think they will cave on any
E.O.’s the Obama has planed for that?

Boehner assumed rightly that nobody would notice the GOP cave to Obama after all the back slapping and high five-in to Boehner for the invite to Netanyahu and off to the bar for happy hour afterwords.

"Everythings on the House!"
