Posted on 05/20/2013 11:43:21 AM PDT by Paine in the Neck

A hot microphone caught Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) coordinating which way members of the “Gang of Eight” who serve on the Senate Judiciary Committee would vote on immigration bill amendments, Breitbart News has learned.

“Do our Republicans have a pass on this one if they want?” the microphone caught Schumer saying.

Considering you defended Romney on this very thread, people shouldn’t need yo look to hard.

So just so everyone still reading is crystal clear on this, You believe my choice to not help empower yet another abortion legislating/supporting...gays in the military/marriage backing gun grabber was the wrong thing to do You believe backing Romney was a conservative thing to do. Do I have that right Captain Backwards?

Where did I defend Romney other then to say he’s not as bad as Obama?

perhaps thats your goal.

You didn’t clarify. Did I get your position right?

You are saying he’s better dispite a near mirror record afterall. That isn’t exactly denouncing him. Neither is berating me because I didn’t back his liberalisn. So what is that exactly if not defending him? Easing your conscience?

I tend to agree with Mark Steyn

Looking to the Republican Party as saviors has been a disastrous mistake.

Yes because electing a hard leftist to head the GOP is the path AWAY from the hard left. Of course. How foolish of me to think rationally.

With all due respect, Norm, I would rather have that “lesser of evil” than the current unabashedly evil cabal now in charge.

Romney is a kenyan born communist?

Or are you a liar?

Your choice. But I don’t see that you berate people over multiple threads about a different one either.

On the other hand, This (not saying you) is the second time today I have had to deal with members of the Romney defense Corpse. The facts of Romney’s record show him as a hard leftist. Moderation in the GOP was the result of what? People willing to moderate. Now people are mad that the GOP refuses to fight. Well, they didn’t just appear in office by magic.

Someone decided that lesser evils were acceptable. The result of that error is now obvious to most.

Thanks $hitumer, you crapped on your cause. The Rhinos you counted on are now ducking for cover.

Going to be fun (read that disgusting) to see the GOP pretend what he said isn’t what he said. And cover for him.

RE :”Schumer was talking to his staff while senators were voting on an amendment that would prevent illegal immigrants from gaining access to public benefits, specifically the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).
The amendment, offered by Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), would have barred illegal immigrants from accessing tax credits like the EITC under the bill until they received green cards or citizenship years from now.
The amendment failed along party lines. For one of the first times ever, though, Gang of Eight members Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Jeff Flake (R-AZ) joined their Republican colleagues in voting for the amendment. All the Democrats voted against it.”

In the background Schumer is caught saying :”Do our Republicans have a pass on this one?”

‘Our Republicans’ !

Here’s an idea, wire all members of congress and force all negotiations to be public.

The bottom line that breaks apart your entire argument here (and I’m not defending Romney).

But a vote for anyone but Romney was a vote for Obama.

Thank you for your service to country, you despicable little @#$@.

So votes not marked Romney were counted for Obama? Would you show me the tally? That didn’t happen. And your argument is little more than a tantrum based on a fantasy.

But swear away Emotion is good to let out. Libs think so at least.
