As conservatives push back against a bill to fund the government past Dec. 11, Speaker John A. Boehner signaled Thursday that he didn’t expect to make any sizable changes to the so-called “cromnibus” in order to placate voices to the right.
“I expect that we’ll have bipartisan support to pass the omnibus,” Boehner told reporters Thursday, in response to a question on whether the Ohio Republican anticipated needing some Democratic votes to pass the bill, and whether that would give Democrats leverage on negotiating riders in the appropriations bill.
Conservatives are bashing the cromnibus — which would fund all elements of government until October except the Department of Homeland Security, which would be funded until March or February — because it does not block President Barack Obama’s executive action on immigration.
Boehner Expects Bipartisan Support on Spending Bill Despite Immigration Concerns
RollCall
Just before Boehner took the podium during his weekly press conference, Heritage Action, an influential outside conservative group, announced they would “key vote” against the cromnibus unless it contained language to stop Obama’s “unlawful amnesty program.”
Boehner pledged to fight Obama’s executive action “tooth and nail.” Asked on Thursday just how sharp those teeth and nails are — if Republicans were really doing enough to stop the president — Boehner didn’t seem eager to give in to conservatives.
“We think this is the most practical way to fight the president’s action,” Boehner said. “And, frankly, we listened to our members. And we listened to some members who, frankly, were griping the most. This was their idea.”

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), has set up an active war room dedicated to undermining Obama's plans on immigration, and is next in line to chair the Budget Committee. From that perch, he would have the power to set spending parameters that undermine the president's moves.

I’m pretty sure I hate the GOP-e more than the democrats at this point.
I can barely see straight when I think about the bullsqueeze they’re pulling.
Its time to face reality. Many of them are honest to God democrats performing an infiltration mission. And succeeding. Because right here on this forum you still see jerks carrying the water, because of the “R”
Even Barry Soetoro---erstwhile adjunct instructor in Constitutional law (before leaving the Illinois Bar permanently)----knew that an 'Executive Order' would not hold water. So, he faked it...and set up a Cabinet Secy as the fall guy.
DHS Secy Jeh Johnson, with an IQ of a boulder, is the perfect Affirmative Action Anus fall guy, because he is covered under the 'Melanin Clause," and will never be prosecuted for anything.
Apparently none of the octogenarian ani that form the GOPe old boys club in Congress ... or their uniformly Left Wing staffers ... deigned to notice that ... or what day it is.
Adding to Kenny's delightful rant---- from experience, we know conmen do not put their shyster plans in writing. So all of the "E/O memo" crap about "welcoming communities" is nothing but BS on steroids, worthy of Gruber's Imprimatur.
Americans are not buying it---we're onto him.
............BONER............BONER............BONER............BONER
The goal, according to several congressional aides familiar with the plans, is to ensure that lawmakers and administration officials are more closely coordinating talking points and media appearances and using all outlets at their disposal to highlight incendiary comments or controversial legislation introduced by Republicans.

(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)
Go figure ---a-n-o-t-h-e-r "Congressional rapid response team"...... like the one that got Obamacre passed?
Progressives have to be mentally defective---they keep repeating their failures ove and over.
(Groan) Get ready for another Schumer look-back.
We really need a speaker who doesn't like or trust Obama and one who won't compromise on principle.
Please see my tagline.
Apparently Obama is not the only one who doesn’t care about the election results. CAN WE GET SOMEONE IN A POSITION OF POWER WHO CARES ABOUT THIS COUNTRY??
Has anyone seen the big mouths in the Lesser Evil faction lately? They have been AWFULLY quiet this week.
The first words out of their mouths/keyboards if they ever turn up should be an apology to America. Because they were told and demanded this anyway. so we all got it.
Dear Rep. Boehner,
I realize that the title of this thread is provocative and may not truly reflect your thinking on this matter. However, saying things like “bipartisan support to pass the omnibus” in the context of it being in spite of conservative objections is, at the very least, ill-measured, and at worst, disrespectful to the views YOUR party’s base.
I have to ask, does it make you feel awkward at all that the people patting you on the back are democrats/liberals? Can you see how it would disappoint conservatives that you would demonstrate your “machismo” by standing up to your party’s base rather than the people who have joined Obama in trying to destroy this great country? Or are you so desperate for approval it no longer matters whom it is that approves of you?
Seriously, rather than just braying about ambiguous bipartisanship, if you have a legitimate argument for siding with the anti-Americans, can you at least make an argument as to why?
We would dearly love to hear it.
Thanks.
A citizen of the once-great United States of America.
I blame the sorry Republicans in Ohio for foisting this disgusting character on the nation. Conservatives are the only group this lousy loser wants to fight. He is totally helpless when it comes to challenging Democrats.
Its time we SERIOUSLY begin talking about a Third Party!
well, no
He will act as he has in the past and the power will force results. If there is adequate GOPc raw political power expressed in votes, conservative goals will prevail
The results will be as they always have been...... some comprise that can be agreed will be the result.
He doesn’t cave to the democrats, never has, never will, he is in fact a died in the wool socialist/fascist just like the democrats, so you see it isn’t caving if that is really your position.
True, they made the actual votes, but there is plenty of people across the right responsible for encouraging those votes. And they need to be called on it because they will do it again next election if allowed to do it without repercussions.
Evidently, the illegals are onto him, too.
They will not be "coming forward, out of the shadows" because they recognize that The One's promise is an empty promise, made without the authority to actually deliver on it.
This disgusting POS cannot refer to conservatives without using disparaging words.
