That has to be passed again after conference. Do you really think House conservatives are going to black jack us?

If the bill fails it will be on the Dem Senate’s head. That covers us both ways. Not every vote is part of the conspiracy to destroy liberty.

The bills that come out of conference can be Trojan horses. If Boehner allows the conference bill to come to the floor for a vote, it will only take 25 RINOs to defect and vote with the Dems.

This same strategy is being used for immigration reform. Boehner and Cantor are intent on passing piecemeal immigration reform legislation that will be sent to conference and paired with the Gang of 8 bill. If Boehner allows that bill to be voted on in the House, then it is over because there are more than 25 Reps in the House who will vote with the Dems and pass it. Boehner has said that he will not allow any legislation to come on the floor, whether the bill originates in the House or out of conference, that does not have the support of the GOP caucus. However, Boehner has already violated the "Hastert Rule" seven times.
