Id like to know how hard it would be to primary Raul Labrador. I dont understand how an immigration lawyer is the most conservative person they could send to congress from Idaho.

What is Lynn Jenkins position on this? Id like to see if someone would primary her regardless to try to take out members of the leadership. Unless she comes out seriously against any amnesty.

Steve King has more knowledge and experience than Gowdy, Labrador and these other weak Tea RINOs. Steve King is the moderate and Luis Guiterrez is the extreme candidate.

Steve King has opposed amnesty since 1986 so he’s been thinking seriously about the issue for so long. He’s crunched the numbers on hispandering.

longtermmenory: this is all about getting to conference

Morissey's article: House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., is the driving force behind the strategy to focus on legalizing undocumented youths. According to Republican aides, passing such a bill would equip Republicans with a reasonable answer to the question of what to do with the 11 million people living in the U.S. illegally. It would also force Democrats into a political lose-lose: Either endorse a GOP proposal that legalizes so-called “Dreamers” or oppose this longtime policy goal and hold out for blanket legalization for the entire undocumented community.

So the Rats should cringing about what the GOP is doing, but instead are smacking their lips. At the CAP (from lefty website slate.com):

Menendez insisted that any piecemeal bill could become an omnibus bill, with some doing. "Get us to a conference," he said at CAP. "In a conference, we can negotiate the notion of bringing all those bills together and get to common ground."

Morissey's plan might work if the Dems were disorganized and the GOP trustworthy, but no such luck.

Well, I call the S.O.B.s every day and send my emails too.

My Rep talked to a pro-amnesty lobbyist (disguised as the head of a think-tank) and posted a picture of the 2 of them talking about "immigration" on his facebook page. I called about that and related matters, and also printed out the page with his phone numbers, and passed it out to neighbors. I also sent the image to my insurance agent via email.

Cantor, Boehner, and the rest of the scumbag House GOP “leadership” absolutely cannot be trusted.

We’ll legalize “DREAMers” if border gets secured first...

Yes, and “IF” gold coins start magically flying out of my ass, I’ll be a wealthy man and Glenn Beck will probably try to get people to invest in me on the radio. But as the “if” of the “if-then” proposition is not going to happen, I’m not holding my breath for the “then” part to happen either.

This is just stupid. Legalization is permanent, securing the border can be reversed at whim.

So-called immigration reform is a done deal. Once the dance set has been decided upon, all that remains is the choreography.

The gop wing of the uniparty wants the cheap labor. The ‘rat wing of the uniparty wants the future voters. Another less talked about issue is that both wings of the uniparty want to use amnesty as a way of hobbling the unofficial economy.

You see, we have 10 million plus people surviving and in some cases thriving on the margins where DC’s regulatory dictates and taxes are generally ignored. They don’t want the folks toiling in the official economy getting any wise ideas.

Was the guy who raped and killed a 93 yr. old woman and her husband a DREAMER?

False promises seem to be the ointment of the American Republican voters.

I don’t think the Republicans have anywhere near an understanding of how serious a threat to the nation the legalization of illegal immigrants poses. The idea of border security is and always has been a myth. Once legalized, not only will the US have a one-party socialist rule delayed only by the time it takes to get the “dreamers” registered to vote but the core value of rule-of-law will be erased from our culture and aystem. The consequences are devastating, permanent, and not reversible. No act or effort can be made that can overcome the damage.

Because they have no actual interest in border security. Talk about "securing the border" is just the carrot being used to sell amnesty.

What ever happened to ,"Equal Protection Under the Law"? Oh, sorry, I forgot this is a Marxist regime now and that musty Constitution is as obsolete as the old white slave holders that wrote and signed it.

Whatever happened to the two-party/multiple-party system we supposedly had? Because right now, I'm seeing one party with its members having either an (R) or (D) next to their name.

Only one thing ought to be on everyone up on the hill’s lips: Ben Gha Z! the 5 basics of Journalism have YET to be answered WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE and WHY? Come on - 4 AMERICANS are DEAD and yet here we are almost a year later with NO ANSWERS and particularly 1 Secretary of State whom the democrats want running the White house after THIS DISASTER of A PRESIDENT gets through ruining our nation. PUT HILLARY CLINTON front and center of the news 24/7 about what she knew, when she knew it and why did she NOT call back our field staff at 2:00 AM with a response to HELPING our BRAVE US SOLDIERS?

I AM FED UP WITH THE POLITICIANS who sit up on capital hill like GODS and ruin our lives and the lives of our brave men and women in uniform.
