Congress CAN pull financial rug from under Obama's immigration amnesty: Republicans given boost

They can. But they’ve already said they won’t.

The Gelding Old Party have already announced they will do NOTHING - ABSOLUTELY NOTHING - that will allow Obie to shut down the Government. The GOP may have taken over the Senate, but as I posted many times before the Nov 2014 election NOTHING is going to change with stopping Obamacare, the EPA, or the proposed Illegal Amnesty Obie was threatening for the past 6 months.

And that stupid McConnell has stated he will undo Reid's nuclear option on cloture.

Keeping the same old tired GOP-e leadership will change nothing.

Seems to me a few bold and principled leaders in Congress could get the job done. Actual integrity ultimately defeats feigned integrity.

Remember, RINOs are not leaders. They are merely elected officials who have compromised themselves for the sake of securing personal gain. This moral compromise is a severe weakness.

On the other hand, the greatest kind of strength is moral strength. Members of Congress still serious about principle—those who haven’t sold their souls—have an overwhelming advantage over the rest of them.

If you complement a solid moral foundation with the right strategy you can’t lose.

Fantastic succinct description!
This excerpt from your comment should become a tagline.

Excellent post and excellent comments.

Another key to this: PRECEDENCE

Boehner/Congress/American Sheeples: all future presidents are watching what happens.

Example: The vote on convicting Clinton, and the public reaction to it, erased a check on presidential power indefinitely.

Of course Congress can defund the program. They’ve always had that right. The problem is that the gop wing of the uniparty wants amnesty as much as the rat wing. So the question from their perspective is how much kabuki theatre they need to engage in until they just go ahead and knuckle under. Which has been the plan all along.

The unfortunate part for us is that the kabuki theatre will involve the “regrettable” increase of various taxes because a “failure to agree” among the parties. So for the uniparty its pretty much a two-fer: they get amnesty AND tax hikes.

Our involvement in this little melodrama is a waste of time and resources. Once the decision has been made, and it has, all that remains is the choreography.

State and local is where its at.

IMPEACH - Obama’s executive order allows illegal aliens to destroy America’s soul
By Kevin Fobbs

Renew America 11/23/2014

Are we stupid or what? Did our parents, and grandparents and great grandparents just simply get it wrong about our nation and its values. Did the greatest generation, who fought against Nazism and tyranny, sacrifice and die on foreign soil so that our American Dream and its values and principles could simply become a joke? This is what has befallen the nation since Obama took the oath of office as president of the United States. Now he stabs the nation in its heart and soul with an Executive Order that allows millions of illegal alien immigrants to become unofficial-official citizens. According to the New York Times Thursday, November 20th, is the date the president decided to shield illegal immigrants from deportation.

There are hundreds of thousands of liberals, socialists, Democrats, and some Republicans in Name Only (RINO) who support this move by Obama to give into the tyranny of relentless badgering at the nation’s walls of law that protect Americans. This action by the president is a culmination of a series of lies, mistruths, and out and out hammerlock tactics that have nearly strangled the lifeblood of liberty from the U.S. Constitution and the laws which protect Americans.

These illegal aliens have plied their tales of woe and of desperation upon the willing ears of sympathetic mainstream media writers and have evoked images of pain and suffering of years on the run. Can you imagine that: years of running from the law which was supposed to be enforced by the Border Patrol agents and the Obama administration. So a criminal who breaks into your home is now given the keys to the house because it is politically incorrect to deny the law breaker access.

What about justice and following the rules that were and should still be the hallmark of this great nation? Are they now trivialized and even scoffed at by the inhabitant of the White House and backroom mainstream media pundits?

Do not be mistaken, this is not an invitation to warm and friendly illegal immigrants who only want a chance at the American Dream. No, it is an out and out invasion by law breakers who have no respect for the laws that govern the nation, or for its language: ENGLISH!

The rest of the history
