Source: Senate GOP Refuses to Strategize Against Obama
NRO ^ | 12/2/2014 | Joel Gehrke

Senate Republicans had no appetite for discussing how to thwart President Obama’s executive orders on immigration during the conference’s weekly lunch, according to a source familiar with the meeting.

Senator Mike Lee (R., Utah) and Senator David Vitter (R., La.) tried to broach the topic, but were ignored.

“At different times, Lee and Vitter stood up and tried to begin a discussion about what the plan was and asked leadership about what their strategy was to deal with the spending bill and respond to Obama executive amnesty, and the reply was always an effort to try to change the subject to the ozone rule from the EPA or some other issue, and it was just bizarre,” the source said.

"Pardon me, while I pull that knife out of my back," said the loyal GOP voter.

A**holes. Hillary is going to SUCK as a president, but she WILL be the next president because the GOP turned their back on the midterm election results.

Nothing to strategize. Republicans had choice to defund and impeach or fund and support. They appear to be opting to fund and support Obama’s amnesty. My guess the only thing remaining for them is to hope all this blows over and is old news next year.

Elected to do something - anything - they choose to do nothing, instead.

Politicians - the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Chickensh*t; blatant, in-your-face, I-don’t-give-a-rat’s *ss chickensh*t

Lois Lerner was such a busy little lady. That and FBI raw files have bought Roberts on the USSC and will coerce anyone else who wants to be punished to shut up and go along.

Whatever their corporate masters want.

Not to be too picky, but we control 1/3 not 2/3.
