Boehner Drops 1,603-Page Omnibus Spending Bill, Securing Future of Obama's Amnesty
Breitbart ^ | 12-10-2014 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 12/09/2014 6:43:07 PM PST by Falcon28

Election results in November that emboldened the House Republican majority and delivered the U.S. Senate majority to the GOP be damned, House Speaker John Boehner is desperately turning to the Democrats to pass his omnibus bill that enables President Barack Obama’s executive amnesty.

The full bill, the text of which was publicly introduced at about 8:20 p.m. on Tuesday after congressional leaders missed several self-set deadlines throughout the day, is 1,603 pages long. That means it will be impossible for any member of the House or Senate to read the entire bill before voting on it this week.

No one pushes Obama’s agenda harder than Boehner.

I hate this government. I’ve seriously entertained the thought of moving to Canada.

“The pure numbers in Congress suggest Boehner can’t get enough Republicans to pass his executive amnesty omnibus, something even his top lieutenants have admitted in recent days.

There are 435 members of the House, and to pass this bill, Boehner and his allies—including Louisiana’s Republican Whip Steve Scalise and California’s Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy—need to get 218 votes. There are 234 Republicans in the House as the 113th Congress finishes its final days of the lame duck post-election session, meaning Boehner could theoretically pass a bill that all Republicans agree with.

But according to Arizona Republican Rep. Matt Salmon, a conservative, there are at least 50 Republicans—probably more—who won’t vote for this bill. If even 18 Republicans vote against the bill, that means Boehner needs Nancy Pelosi and her top lieutenant Steny Hoyer to get to 218. Salmon is not optimistic the number of Republicans in opposition will reach the number of Democrats voting for this bill at this time. Yet since there are so many liberal parts of the bill, once the text is introduced, anything can happen.

“I think the number is over 50 that will vote against it but it doesn’t matter because there is going to be over 50 Democrats who vote for it,” Salmon said on Tuesday, while calling Boehner’s strategy cowardly.”

Boner is going to end the GOP.

Amnesty and obummer care are so hated by those not in DC that the voters will either form a third party or stay home in disgust and let the dims have it.

Boner and McConnell swore they would stop amnesty and end bummer care.

Either the do so or the GOP is done.

In short, boner and McConnell are as much a liar as is obummer.

Boehner is clearly working for and with Obama and against American citizens. The GOP as an institution is penetrated and compromised by enemy agents and cannot be saved. All the rhetoric about voting Republican and not third party has led us here. If we cannot remove the likes of Boehner and McConnell, then there is no solution within the two party system.

Bingo. The NSA is busy digging up dirt on CongressCritters for the purpose of blackmailing them so the King can get his way. It’s a known fact many 3 letter agencies spy on Congress, so what’s the mystery here?

Two years, man.

Republicans have two years to have some actual accomplishments. Show us you are not afraid. And by the way, you are off to a terrible, terrible start. But you have two years to shows us why we should vote Republican.

It’s your last chance.
If I had to bet, I’d say I’d be sitting at home (first time ever) on election day in 2016, laughing at the Libtards on FreeRepublic who’d be cursing me out.

But go ahead, GOPe — prove me wrong. Make we want to vote for you.

Don’t be too hard on me, Johnny. I wanted people to give Pubbies 1 more chance. I want to hold on to the tatters of this country. I know too many who have died for it.

But I won’t vote Republican anymore. Cruz is going to have to run as an indy.

Otherwise, it’s every man for himself.

I will vote for Cruz because he's conservative. I won't vote for liberal Republicans.

They have destroyed this country.

You can't get rid of the liberals in the Democrat party, but you can get rid of the liberals in the Republican party by not voting for them in the primary OR the general.

I called Boehner and told him I wouldn’t vote for a Republican again. Suggest others do the same, and call the RNC and whatever douche company Rove runs.
