Gutierrez to GOP: ‘Stop Whining’

Democratic congressman Luis Gutierrez had two words for Republican lawmakers condemning President Obama’s executive amnesty: “Stop whining.”

In an interview on Thursday with MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell, the Illinois representative dismissed the constitutional concerns voiced by Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell and other Republicans over the White House’s unilateral push to legalize millions of illegal immigrants.

“Mitch McConnell — they should stop whining, and they should start legislating, and start saying what they’re going to do,” Gutierrez said. “They have an incredible victory in the Senate, an incredible new majority in the House of Representatives. Use it to do something constructive!”

He is right, the GOP needs to stop talking and just deal with it in January.

When your would-be king runs the train off the cliff we’ll be coming for you, the democrat party, and the RINOs as well. This will not end well for you.

Let’s do that by rounding up all of the illegals and forming them into a chain gang to build the wall; and when it is done throw them over the wall and that includes their worthless anchors.

Yeah, everyone has their favorite fantasies and this one is my favorite.

I just called Guiterez DC office. Got a person on the phone that could not explain to me why the congressmen supports people that aren’t American over Americans. Long pauses, no answers. Phone: (202) 225-8203. Give him a call.

"Mark Kirk is hardly the power broker in the party..."

OK.

And the top GOP are power brokers that are rolling over waiting for Obama to pet their bellies.

He is 100% correct in this comment.

But WTF does it have to do with the fact that the president of the United States is preparing to [once again] violate the Constitution, and his oath of office, with malice aforethought?

They are separate issues.

'Yeah, like constructing a fence along the Mexican Border, or constructing a wall against deficit spending, or constructing a plan to eliminate the Department of Education and the Department of Energy, etc.'

Screw the fence. I'd like to see a Korean style DMZ between us and Mehico.

Doesn’t change the fact that it’s absurd to use Kirk to make your point.

And you can ignore the power and influence of Gohmert, Gowdy, Cruz, Lee, Sessions if you want to, but there are some good folks up there willing to fight this thing, and fight McConnell and Boehner if they have to.

The public relations power of a Cruz or Gohmert or Gowdy is something the “leadership” cannot ignore.
