RePri Attempts Reach-Out to Conservatives: 'If We Win the Senate, We WILL Stop Amnesty'

Sadly, he also suggests that blanket opposition to large-scale 

guest-worker programs is 'getting into the weeds'...

Anybody in our party talk about growth and creation of wealth anymore? 

Shining City on a Hill? Or is that too corny in 2014?

Somehow instead we're always tangled-up with the left's agenda one way or another -back on our heels all the time while being painted as Satan by our opponents and the media for daring to oppose their inspired, visionary guidance. 

As always with communists, socialists, and other sordid creatures of the left, everything comes down to a zero-sum game as elements of society are pitted against one another and we are reduced to fighting-over-the-scraps 

(of an ever-shrinking pie).

Today's the same with the tiresome 'immigration debate', except this time we have to fight with zillions of foreigners and major elements of our own party
-along with the entire American left- for what remains of this battered country.

Instead of a US of A where we all build a financially-bountiful, harmonious, positive society together -like, say the 1980s, eight of the best years we've ever seen- nowadays we are too often played against one another by scheming 'progressives' while normal Americans have to BEG the Obama regime to protect our borders/country, enforce existing laws, not release dangerous felons for no real reason, etc. For that, they want to kill us.

But WHY should an American economy with precious little new-business creation, record-low labor participation, and a 50%-ish youth unemployment rate in many urban areas import low-skill workers of any sort? 

We SO clearly don't need them (for anything other than lifelong
Democratic vote-bots).

Considering how we've been lied to on this issue in the past -and as
Tip O'Neill deceived Reagan too- forgive us for demanding that enforcement of current laws and securing of the wild-n-wide-open US border be made prerequisites of any broad reforms going-forward... I guess we're just racist or something.

And can someone please tell me why the US Chamber of Commerce thinks getting on-board with the left/Obama re. massive Green Card handouts is going to aid their businesses bottom-line? Don't they have any clue that the same open-borders left they're collaborating with want them to be paid $15 min. wage with free Obamacare ASAP anyway?

Not that I'm not glad to hear most of what Priebus said to the Tea Party yesterday -and yeah, he made all the right noises on securing border, etc.

But the RNC's got a lot of baggage -and credibility approaching zero-
on this issue. Just six months ago they were talking-up amnesty while demonizing opponents (that's us).

Being an optimist who believes in redemption, I sure would like to think the GOP old-guard is starting to see the light on the immigration issue- it's not hard to make an argument that Obama's threatened executive action on amnesty is what's driving this election toward the Republicans. How long can the Chamber/old-guard fight that? Our new, emerging majorities on the Hill will likely be won on this very issue.

btw, principled opposition to big guest-worker programs/green card giveaways aren't out in the weeds, Mr Priebus- and anybody who thinks they can roll-over the Tea Party with some form of stealth amnesty next February must be smoking them.

[Cheerio]

Oh I wish this were true - I might even change my registration back to the GOP. Don't count on it - the Zuckerbergs of America want the cheap labor just as bad as the RATS want more voters. IT IS ALL STACKED AGAINST "WE THE PEOPLE" and the District of Corruption no longer has the consent of the governed. Plain and simple.

[sportutegrl]

How about Prince Rebus? The GOPe crowd has been acting like royalty for a while now. Bush heir Jeb thinks he is next in line for the throne.

[MrB]

The Bush gene pool needs some chlorine.

[RegulatorCountry]

RePri? So cool.

He joins TomKat, Brangelina and TAFKAP.

[aimhigh]

Without 66 R votes, there is no way to stop O.

He is such a dweeb. His twitter handle is @reince. Not that I regularly tweet him insults or anything. (:

Priebus knows he needs Conservatives to vote so he’s baiting the hook with amnesty talk.

My point was Executive Amnesty can be stopped without taking control of the Senate. Taking control of the Senate however will not necessarily stop Legislative Amnesty. And therein lies the rub.

I think most conservatives would love to see Reid dethroned but it’s likely McConnell will not be a welcome change.

The real risk is Legislative Amnesty that completely revolves around Boehner. Somehow someway there must be a way to stop Boehner from bringing amnesty legislation to the floor for the full House to vote on it because there are 17 ‘squish’ republicans willing to cross the aisle to join the dems in voting for amnesty.

I haven’t been keeping score but it will be good to see more true conservatives get elected to the House where they can exert even more pressure on Boehner to table the vote permanently until Americans can elect someone like Ted Cruz to be President and put a stop to this merry-go-round of horrors in November 2016.

..just more cr@p from the Washington GOP/E..more along.

[Organic Panic]

Priebes did not say he will stop amnesty. He sid he will stop “Obam’s amnsety.”

He and the republicans still want it. They just want to claim credit for it.

[sheana]

You think like me. Pay no attention to their word games. It’s all gobbledygook.

[Ray76]

Remember Boehner said he is “hellbent” for amnesty.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Can you answer this for me?

Until Obama actually does something like this, how would anybody have standing to file for such an injunction?

[Hostage]

State governors and State AGs are the most likely to have standing and they will have standing if the motion plea is well-written in describing the harm to the state and its population.

Obama has already done something. He has caused his people to draft and release an RFP to manufacture up to 34 million green card like IDs. This is an illegal RFP because there is no law that authorizes it.

And the RFP states unequivocally that it is for ‘future immigration reform initiatives’. See the pages I referenced and see post #28 for the last known working link.

Now expect Obama people to say they need to upgrade green card security aspects (holograms, etc.). Fine but the volume for card renewals is far less than one million per year. Therefore, the judge’s order should have a provision that only renewals may be granted and those that are authorized by the present caps on immigration. In other words Executive Amnesty is stopped.

Without massive numbers of new IDs, Obama’s bid to legalize tens of millions of illegals is lost.

Attack Obama at the key battleground; attack the cards!

Having watched what the courts have done with Obamacare and gay marriage, I no longer have faith in the courts to do the right thing.

[onedoug]

And I’ve got a swell bridge for sale, cheap.

[upbeat5]

Must be an election coming up? Another RINO Liar!

Like I said you obviously did not read the link in #19.
