‘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.

You are correct in your assessment.
The GOPe and the evil left are literally destroying our Republic as Founded. This is as serious as it gets.
We cannot survive an invasion by 10s of millions of Anti-English, anti-American third world criminals. (the very act of crossing our border without permission makes them ALL evil criminals).
They are pouring across the border and being distributed to states that need RAT voters. They are here to reproduce like rabbits and replace the native population. To add further insult to Conservatives we are being force to shower them with taxpayer goodies and money.
The left with the help of the evil GOPe have successfully carried out a coup.
Anyone here feel “represented”?
Bull Puckey, Sacajaweau!
There MUST be a point at which we stand up and defend the US Constitution and the Rule of Law in the US.
If we allow Zero and 0bamunists to march toward their socialist utopia unchecked and unimpeded, we will have NO one else to blame for the loss of this grand experiment.
Just sayin’
Popinjay? Cool word. It is duly added to my arsenal. Thanks!
Don't forget our old pal, Mitt Romney. I guarantee you, if he'd been elected, he would have been leading the Republican surrender caucus. With a smile, of course.
I've been saying the same thing around here for years. The civil systems left to us by the Framers, are completely FUBAR.
It's time for some out of the box thinking.
I’m done with the GOP and the Republicans. They are a bunch of spineless pansies that have no guts to stand up to a tyrant.
Looks like the American people will have to do what the Republicans won’t. Sad...
Boner & McChinless - utterly despicable.
House Dems Declare Victory: “Boehner Backed Down! We Did It!”…
You know, because it’s so notoriously difficult to get Boehner to fold.
Democrats Plan To Win Elections With Illegal Alien Votes

The Obama Democrats have an audacious scheme for winning future elections. They just plan to import 5 million non-citizens and credential them as voters who will, in gratitude, vote Democratic.
BREAKING: Boehner-Led House Just Bowed To Obama With This Massive Change For America
House GOP leadership bends over and lays down.
Norvell Rose — March 3, 2015
The debate is over, the impasse is broken, the Republicans have caved, and Obama has been handed a huge victory in the fight over total funding for the Department of Homeland Security, including a provision to proceed with executive amnesty.
The House has approved the “clean” bill to fully fund DHS.
Buried amid the avalanche of news coverage of Bibi Netanyahu’s speech to Congress was an agreement by House Speaker John Boehner that could forever alter the landscape of American political power.
The Republican-led House, following the cue of Boehner and others in the GOP leadership, has just given up the fight against authorizing money for President Obama’s executive amnesty as part of the bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security.
The New York Daily News reports that Boehner addressed his deeply divided caucus Tuesday morning, arguing that the issue affecting millions of illegal immigrants is now in the hands of the courts, and that Congress should move on with other business.
Many conservatives have long argued that allowing Obama’s amnesty order to be funded means the president’s program will continue, despite what the courts may rule, as the administration has previously shown its willingness to defy or bypass court orders.
And once amnesty is in place, critics contend, non-citizens falling under its protections could well be put on a path to the voting booth that would give their Democrat enablers a virtual lock on national political power.
The Daily News article notes that Speaker Boehner acknowledged to his GOP colleagues that Obama’s actions are unconstitutional, even as he agreed, in effect, to support them.
It’s time to move on to the impeachments of Boner and Ditch.

Awash in cash, Bush asks donors not to give more than $1 million – for now
I’m 68 and riding toward the sunset. I encourage my kids but they ignore everything. Nothing has bitten them on the ass yet.
Oh and you “conservative” Republican groupies, keep voting for us regardless of how we vote or behave, because we are not Democrats!
You’re welcome. Been carrying that around in my quiver just waiting for the right opportunity. Now I can move on.
