The GOP is dead, time to bury it.

Unsatisfied with our defeat in 2012, Boehner is already laying the foundation for another defeat in 2016.

I think you mean 2014, the GOP will lose the House, they will be blamed for the economic crises that is coming.

Re: “We have to compromise.”

We tried compromise in 1986.

A blanket amnesty for 3 million illegals.

In return we got “guarantees” for border protection and worker ID’s and civil sanctions against employers.

Before the ink had dried, La Raza and the ACLU were in court overturning every part of law - except the amnesty part, of course.

Obama will pretend to “negotiate” with Boehner.

The negotiations will fail because Conservatives will go ballistic.

Then Obama will declare another “Non-Enforcement” Amnesty by Executive Order, just like he did with the DREAM Act.

Paul...

Do you really have no idea how screwed Conservatives are after this guy was reelected?

Boehner is caving on multiple fronts.

He has also stated that the Republicans would be open to raising taxes “given the right conditions”. He has announced his cooperation for everything the Dems have mentioned it seems.

But this is really all the fault of those who demanded a Conservative candidate, right Democrat_media?

Re: “WHAT HAPPENED WHEN REAGAN [in 1986] GAVE AMNESTY TO 3MIL HISPANICS?????”

Here’s what happened.

GHW Bush ran in 1988.

His share of the Hispanic vote was LESS than EVERY Republican candidate who had run before him!

Which guy? Boehner, the guy driving this, was not up for re-election. When are people going to get that the Republicans are screwing the Conservatives?

Boehner, just don’t do anything. We don’t need a deal, you damn drunk.

Being a new illegal citizen with welfare, foodstamps and free medicine sure beats being a peasant in your own country. We should be proud to go bankrupt for their benefit. /sarc>

They will make sure that the Dems will be in charge forever because they will no doubt force us to start the much needed 3rd party.

And that is a major reason I'm very skeptical of all these reports of how more illegals are leaving than entering the US now. Sounds more like some are trying to say the problem has solved itself, so we might as just grant that amnesty for the millions already here.

And the advantages of having an anchor baby are still just as real as ever. Have American hospitals seen a big dropoff in births to illegal aliens?
