“There’s widespread doubt about whether this administration can be trusted to enforce our laws.”
Then where’s the impeachment proceedings then cry baby???
Fact: Boner is no more trustworthy than Obama
Fact: The law isn’t broken and in need of change. It is in need of enforcement by a legitimate head of the executive branch
Fact: “Reform” in DC is NEVER about fixing, fine tuning or improving something. It is a euphemistic smokescreen for violating the Constitution and paying off collaborators in crime.
It seems that Boehners trying to have his cake and eat it too.
He can’t get immigration reform passed, and if he could it wreck the GOP for the forseeable future.
But he doesn’t want Dems to have immigration as an exploitable issue to rile up their base.
So he difuses the issue by putting out “leadership principles” that will appease immigration activists but which the GOP rank and file have no obligation to support, then blames not trying to pass them on Obama’s solid track record of behaving in an untrustworthy and lawless manner. For which ample examples can be cited.
Honestly, either Boehner is one of the smartest political strategists out there, has one on his payroll that he’s listening to, or is the luckiest damn bast@rd in Washington for having stumbled and bumbled into what could turn out to be a decisive winning strategy on the topic ...
I’m thinking it’s probably the third scenario ...
The issue is NOT whether Obama would be a trustworthy partner in these negotiations.
He won’t.
The issue is whether the GOP leadership will stand up and do what is right - and that is no amnesty.
This is all about getting the traitor rino’s through the elections. When those are over then he will go full speed ahead with all things liberal.
“...“There’s widespread doubt about whether this administration can be trusted to enforce our laws. ...”
Wow... and just think... it only took Boehner SIX YEARS to figure that out...
Stunning brilliance on display... just stellar...
He’s so special, they put him on the Short Bus...
He has just said that because the President is derelict of duty and can’t be trusted to do his constitutional job of executing the laws, that Congress won’t pass laws that might be needed.
That sounds like a constitutional crisis to me.
When it comes to trust Boehner and Obama are two birds of the same feather. Neither one trusts each other and we the public at large trusts neither one of them. Both sows mistrust every time they open their mouths. Fire them both.
The good news? All those illegals are now ten years older than the last time they seriously tried to ram this through.
Brilliant move John. That’s what I’m talking about. Sure, well secure the border only to have Obama kick the gate wide open.
Excellent. That’s how to do it GOP.
Anger building? Oh Lordy, he’s gonna blow! Tears are coming....
It is true, is it not, that the Speaker of the House does NOT have to be a member of Congress, or even of the House? So an outsider could be chosen? I nominate...shoot, the only person I can think to nominate is Ted Cruz.
Not really, he just set the price for it.
Who has any doubt at this point? The jury is out, the science is settled.
Proceed with caution.
