WE WILL NOT ENGAGE': MICHELE BACHMANN REVEALS GOP PLANS TO IGNORE EXECUTIVE AMNESTY
Breitbart Big Government ^ | Nov. 22,2014 | Robert Wilde

Posted on 11/23/2014 12:09:19 AM PST by Hojczyk

“They acted as though the amnesty issue wasn’t even an issue. They said that the President is going to do what he’s going to do, and we are not going to get down in the mud with him. We are not going to engage, and what we are going to do is to talk about our positive solutions on jobs, the economy, education, and manufacturing,” Bachmann said.

She added that each congressman who spoke reiterated that not engaging Obama and staying positive was a “brilliant strategy.” "We will not engage," she reiterated with disgust.

Bachmann, who was elected to Congress in 2006 and is ending her service this year, is stupefied by the Republican leadership not taking action or having a plan. “While the country is talking about amnesty, and the president is taking unconstitutional actions, our leadership wants to change the subject and not engage,” she said.

Bannon said he was “stunned” that, on the walk-up to a day that is going to go down as “one of the most important days in constitutional history,” there was no pre existing plan or course of action by the GOP. The Congresswoman asserts that Boehner and the leadership “think that the smarter strategy is to not engage.”

Earlier in the broadcast, co-host and Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow said that, after reading Breitbart News’ report on Friday about Republicans flying out of town after Obama’s speech without devising a plan, is evidence that "the Republican establishment doesn't care about Obama passing executive amnesty.”

Marlow mused, “We're having this debate: should there be a lawsuit? Should there be impeachment? Should the government be shut down? What should we be doing?”

Listening to the GOP senators being interviewed they all seem to be doing just that, “well we have to see what we need to do”, “we may have to have a special session to discuss”, “we want to work to come up with a viable immigration policy” NO MENTION OF BRINGING THIS POS TO JUSTICE, NONE! We just had an election bloodbath and the elected have laid down thier arms and surrendered. I say we demand bone head and mcchicken to go

Our government is illegitimate and unconstitutional. It’s time to stop looking for constitutional law to change things when our modern government doesn't abide by that same constitution anymore. We need to use civil disobedience to protest this tyranny. Mass defiance of blatantly unconstitutional laws and mandates has to happen soon if we are going to have any chance of salvaging what’s still left. We should use the system where we can still achieve things, but we have to start employing new tactics along with that. Working within the government system won't work by itself, and we all know that. We need to change things before it's too late. We have to bypass and defy unconstitutional obstacles put in place by the left to stop us. Obama is defiant about destroying our nation, and we can only defend it from the left by doing the same.

Instead of pleading with our masters in DC, we should focus on our state reps and senators to call an Article V amendments convention. The framers gave us peaceful means to deal with tyranny and we should use it.

Not one thin dime of tax money should be spent on illegals or their spawn. GO HOME and get in line if you want to come to the Land of the Freeloaders.

Yes appears to be the answer to all of your questions; and the only solution within the system is impeachment and conviction and removal from office. Maybe funding can be denied, but the GOP is divided against itself and Obama has vast capabilities to cause chaos. Other than those options, we move into popular revolution or coup areas and the sleeping mass of Americans doesn’t seem to have any interest - dancing with the stars is on.

That’s a copyrighted photo of Muslim devotees in Bangladesh riding a train into the city of Tongi. We now have to remove the copyrighted photo.

We will not engage
. . . sounds exactly like the strategy that worked so well </sarcasm> when Karl Rove executed it on the “Where are the WMDs?” front.

I think it is beginning to dawn on folks that the POS Barack Hussein Obama, this week, was pulling a WIZARD OF OZ act. The only thing he has said, or done, so far is to say that he will be not deporting illegal aliens. He’s been not deporting illegal aliens for the past 6 years— so there is nothing new so far.

Some folks were seeing the image of a Great and Powerful Wizard the Obama’s handlers were projected. As I watched his speech, I was seeing the small (and FREIGHTENED) man “behind the curtain”. Remember, Obama and the ‘RATS have just suffered a devastating blow in this year’s election. They see their power eroding and disappearing into vapor.

Let’s encourage our Republican Congress to be strong and join with the constitutional conservatives among the caucus. Let’s not allow them to be cowed by the weakened ‘RATS and their allies in the media.

Let’s PLAY OUR GAME, let’s not be tricked into playing the game the way the ‘RATS want us to play. Let’s not let the defanged ‘RATS set the agenda.

I regret the loss of my point, but bow to your wishes for a litigation-free site.

Only because we don’t have enough conservatives winning primaries. If we lose the primaries we have basically lost.Win the primaries and we win.

It is likely this amnesty will be a disaster, leading to another bad election year for the Rats in 2016. This is probably Boehner’s thinking.

I don’t agree with this strategy as the country may not survive 2 more years of Obama.

Has the use of unlimited executive order power intoxicated Obama so much that he has become completely mad?

Obama himself answered that question months ago.

“We’re not just going to be waiting for legislation in order to make sure that we’re providing Americans the kind of help they need. I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone ,”

Welcome to post constitutional America.

The only checks on a president willing to ignore the constitution (short of insurrection) are the congress and the federal courts and neither of those seem to be willing to challenge this president.

Obama thinks he is the Charlie Manson of politics. He thought he was going to start a ‘Helter Skelter’ with his immigration memo. He didn’t even do an Executive Order. Most folks are going to ignore BHO’s memo. He thought his ‘Helter Skelter’ was going to coincide with the Ferguson GJ announcement and ensuing destruction. Also, he is nickel and diming us to death. Sorry, BHO, we’re with common sense.

Cheap labor! More votes!

Great taste! Less filling!

Our kids better be learning Spanish, to get any job that deals with the public.

The America our forefathers fought, bled and died for seems about gone - Marxed, queered, and bedeviled.

"Do nothing, say nothing" is now the official de jure GOP strategy and not the de facto policy. When is it that the GOP becomes worthless or worse than useless? What is the sign that it is time to launch a replacement party to the GOP?

If this isn't it, I don't know what more evidence you need.

It's very possible we have a political party in the midst of self destructing. It's likely the dems are trading a voter base they once had for millions of illegals that may or may not vote for them.

In addition they are sabotaging their black voter base one more time. What blacks that are not in jail usually have minimum wage jobs at Burger King/McDonalds, etc.Let five million illegals have those jobs and what recourse do blacks have? How energetic will they be at the elections in 2016,my guess is not so much.

Best of all if you are Hillary Clinton WTF will you run on? She has no record of achievement other than mileage.Of course she could run on Benghazi, obamcare,the VA,IRS,open borders Ebola eV-D68 or anyone of a dozen other scandals but she probably won't. Even her side can't invent enough lies fast enough to get her elected even with a willing press. Truth is Hillary Clinton is toast,she may not even run.

that leaves it wide open for us. We can get all pissed off that all we can do now is oppose zero a line at a time when we get power in January or we can all back a single conservative candidate who will win in two years and there will be nothing the GOPe can do about it.

If we let the conservative vote get split up,again, in the primaries guess who we will get? If you said Mitt, Jeb or fat boy score points.

In essence our future is up to us.

Unfortunately, we are screwed with the Supreme Court. Roberts is compromised. He has been blackmailed and is no longer a reliable Justice.

DAm if Michelle made a mistake let's burn her at the stake.We can't have anyone on our side who is not 100% all the time. It's all we can stomach. Yeah right.

By the way no one is a bigger supporter of Sarah Palin than I. But some people are human and not up to the standards of 100 per centers found here and elsewhere.
