Boehner Promises Amnesty Bill, then Reelected Speaker - (Nov. 4 was a waste).

I just posted this on another thread.

The GOP has it ass-backwards - they are voting with their political fortunes in mind only.

They need to find their soul and fast.

[hal ogen]

Don’t these repub pols realize they are quickly becoming this century’s Whigs? What oafs.

Not surprising. If they perform as badly in early 2015 as they did in 2011-2013, we are going to need to organize a coordinated campaign to our elected officials to shake up the leadership.

I'm convinced and have that conviction strengthened by every act of this government that we are no longer a Republic, but a post-Constitutional Fascist Oligarchy with an empowered dictatorship at the Executive.

I think politics and elections as we knew it, is over.

Fixing Washington from within an entire system corrupted for itself, is no longer a viable option. Stopping this tyranny will have to come from OUTSIDE the existing institutions that have been corrupted and via means that are not those that have been perverted to serve the oligarchy.

[Regulator]

I have a little question for the Senior Leadership of the Permanent Oligarchy.

When will a general Amnesty for the Americans be announced?

Even Kings and Tsars and other tyrants used to do that.

You know, back taxes, old traffic offenses, the ancient DWI, the doobie in college...petty misdemeanors still blighting millions of lives.

Nope! No relief for the Americans, just the back of the hand and get back to work, send us taxes...so we can spend them on our cronies who will make us whole when we twist off from this legislature gig.

But for millions of foreigners? Luv ‘n Kisses. Do anything ya want, we will reward you.

Why do we elect people who hate us?

[JohnBrowdie]

yeah, those are high crimes. you wanna toss him in jail for smoking, or just take his job away from him?

[twoputt]

All I can tell you is my congressman and Deputy Whip, Pete Roskam (IL-6), told me to my face he is not for amnesty. So we’ll see if Boehner has the votes.

[skeeter]

These jerks are focused on their own fortunes to the exclusion of the welfare of their party, not to mention the nation. Apparently they don't care what happens to the party in another decade, as long as they have their position as long as they want it.

Its probably always been this way to one degree or other but I believe in the past most politicians stepped up and acted in the national interest when they had to.

Not these guys, though.

[boycott]

Smoking is fine by me but he might try to sober up a bit.

“All I can tell you is my congressman and Deputy Whip, Pete Roskam (IL-6), told me to my face he is not for amnesty. So we’ll see if Boehner has the votes.”

Good to hear. Boener simply doesn’t have the votes. I have NO DOUBT that he’d like to ‘defuse’ this Constitutional Crisis by passing Amnesty, but his problem is the HUGE NUMBER of conservatives that see nothing good coming from.

Where can I find the language for this amnesty bill? I believe that there was a Democrat bill that has gone nowhere and will go nowhere. I am unaware of any Republican bill, which of course, will not happen in this Congress in any event.

So the question really is: what bill will be put forward in the Next Congress and how will the Congress proceed? Will there be hearings? Will illegalities within ICE be discussed? Will witnesses describe how political appointees have harassed, intimidated, and engaged in retribution against career employees? Will the new Congress be aware of the dramatic shift in public opinion on this issue? Both Houses will have the opportunity to stake out its own views and bring forward its own plan. My version of an Amnesty bill would round up every illegal immigrant in the country and expose them to a wide range of corrective action. Such a bill could be called an Amnesty bill without offering much amnesty, except for a deserving few. The devil is in the details.

I think its too early to judge what the next Congress will do, they are after all, politicians and they wave like the winter wheat on a spring breeze. It could be the gloom and doom that many have predicted. It could be something else. Current predictions aren’t worth much.

Looks like Republicans are going to be totally demoralized by election day 2016

So people are fed up with the damaging things democrats are going and elect republicans to stop it. Then the first thing they do is help the Dems push through more of their harmful agenda.

At what point do people start thinking a third party is necessary?

[JohnBrowdie]

if him were john boner, you would be tempted to stay drunk all the time, too ;)

[JohnBrowdie]

of course it’s too early to be doing this. but doing this is what we do, and we just can’t help ourselves.

[JohnBrowdie]

the point of insanity. the point that you want to hand over all three branches of the government to liberals that make nancy pelosi seem tame.

the point that you’re ready do grab a rifle and take to the streets anyway.

[centurion316]

of course it’s too early to be doing this. but doing this is what we do, and we just can’t help ourselves.

Brilliant comment.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Well Jeff Sessions is planning his own little stop amnesty party in the Senate so If I was Boehner I wouldn’t break out the Glenlivet just yet.

[Seruzawa]

A couple of days ago someone here was thinking that with a new Pub majority Boehner might show some balls. No chance. Not for one second did I believe that Boehner would stop being a liberal mole.

[BobL]

“Well Jeff Sessions is planning his own little stop amnesty party in the Senate so If I was Boehner I wouldn’t break out the Glenlivet just yet.”

I LIKE IT!!! Thanks. I refuse to concede until they actually win something.

[bgill]

Yep, I keep saying they all play on the same team.
