A video clip has been posted of Speaker John A. Boehner mocking his colleagues’ reluctance to take on an immigration overhaul today while campaigning for re-election in Ohio:

@$$hole. Notice he makes reference to camera in the room.

Can it not be more obvious he’s a DemoCommie plant? Traitor, turncoat, government suck-nipple.

We need to make clear to these GOP Congressmen that if they vote for this we won’t be voting for them in November. I hope the people in Boehner’s district take a long hard look at this and maybe decide it is time to term limit him and elect somebody else.

[dowcaet]

Amen to that. Yup, all those rumors about Democrats infiltrating our ranks is sadly true. Oh well, they got over on us but the country is going to pay the price for it.

An open letter to the GOP Members of Congress

As a Representative or Senator in Congress, you took this Oath:

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God."

"Support and defend the Constitution" it says. Did you see that? That document requires, per Art.4, S.4, that

"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence."

An invasion is what we are suffering. That invasion has accelerated with each "comprehensive immigration reform" previously enacted. Instead of another disastrous reform that yet again increases the incentives for millions more to try their luck crossing the southern border, a Representative who took his Oath and the Constitution seriously would be pressing for what the American people have repeatedly said they want - not what Senators Schumer and McCain, Mark Zuckerberg, Mexico, some border state farmers and homebuilders or the Chamber of Commerce rent-seekers want. That is:

1. secure the border in a transparently verifiable way;
2. end the anchor-baby interpretation of the 14th Amendment;
3. enforce eVerify without exception and with severe penalties;
4. no government benefits beyond critical emergency care (and that ought to be billed back to the home government); and
5. NO "Path to Citizenship" - EVER - for anyone who has entered the US illegally.

Any bill that does not accomplish these five things is unacceptable. It is de facto amnesty. And it will inevitably encourage millions more illegal entries.

If the GOP is complicit in this amnesty fiasco, either by taking up the Senate bill or through some piecemeal slight of hand with a series of House bills such as we hear are being cooked up of late, or as riders on other necessary legislation, the GOP will cease to exist. It will not survive through the 2016 elections. The people will shun the over-tanned, glad-handing, backslapping quislings and look elsewhere for leaders who actually have the spine for the fight. Make no mistake - to me and to many, many others, amnesty is the GOP's Rubicon. Cross it at your electoral peril.

SOmeone needs to run against boner. Get rid of him.

Boehner is in full RINO mode. How can House Republicans strike a deal on immigration when Obama takes passed laws and rewrites them by deciding what part of laws to follow/enforce and what parts to ignore/delay?

Obama is already not enforcing present immigration laws on deportations and border controls. He has delayed or skipped major parts of ObamaCare to the point it is a not what was passed just so the impacts are delayed past coming elections. He is now ready to let felons out of jail on drug charges and mandatory sentences to please minorities.

Any new immigration law in Obama’s hands will be a joke and manipulated to turn elections to the favor of Democrats and favored big businesses which kick money to Democrats.

[Aurorales]

Ditto EVERYTHING in your post.

Amnesty is the GOP’s Rubicon, indeed.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Anyone know if J.D. Winteregg has said anything about this yet?

We need to make clear to these GOP Congressmen that if they vote for this we won’t be voting for them in November.

And strongly clear that T.E.A.P. is our party now, and we are seriously going to party in their offices.

[Amagi]

A case can be made that Boehner in even more contemptible than the likes of Pelosi, Reid, & Obama who are merely traitors to the USofA.
Boehner has the distinction of not only being a traitor to his country, but also a traitor to the party in opposition to the party dedicated to the destruction of th eUSofA.
I despise Cry Baby Boner.

[SC_Pete]

Boehner is Exhibit A on the corrupting influence of incumbency. How absolutely disgusting.

[Eagles6]

Very good. Mind if we use it?

[Paine in the Neck]

Very good. Mind if we use it?

Feel free. Cast it far and wide.
