EXCLUSIVE:HOUSE GOP LEADERS TRICK 216 HOUSE REPUBLICANS INTO ACCIDENTALLY SUPPORTING OBAMA'S EXECUTI
BREITBART ^ | 7 December 2014 | by MATTHEW BOYLE

Posted on 12/07/2014 4:45:15 PM PST by gwgn02

In a lengthy interview on Friday afternoon, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) exposed how House Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Majority Whip Steve Scalise strengthened President Barack Obama’s executive amnesty with procedural trickery former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber would envy—and they did it all in the name of pushing a bill that they told Republicans would block Obama’s executive amnesty. What’s more is that a series of interviews and recent developments indicate that Boehner’s gambit here is placing several of his top lieutenants—including at least two committee chairmen—at political risk of serious primary challenges just a few months after newly elected Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA) beat now former House Majority Leader Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) in a Republican primary. Gohmert said most members had no idea what they were actually voting for when 219 members—216 of which were Republicans—approved a measure, H.R. 5759, first put forward by Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL), but subsequently dramatically altered by leadership officials in the Rules Committee process.

Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are an order of magnitude less despicable the traitors Boehner and Obama.

“That smarmy Kevin McCarthy is a backstabbing weasel.”

Bump.

Yoho isn’t the sharpest knife in drawer. No surprise leadership would use him.

"Well, we got a Republican Senate and Reid is still essentially in power there."

No, we don't have a Republican Senate YET. We have a lame duck Senate.

Hmmmm ..?? Seems like the newbies in the House better get their act together and take over the House; before Boehner and McConnell give the dam place away to the dems.

This kind of treachery is not going to sit well with the newcomers .. and I believe this may be a tipping point for Boehner. Time for him to step aside .. since he obviously cannot support America anymore; and instead sides with a tyrant.

I don't believe a word of this. They were NOT tricked, they went willingly, they did not read the bill. They don't know what in the hell they are doing up there.

I am so damned sick and tired of this, what was the election about?? I can't express my true feelings, but I know they were NOT tricked.

That was the SPIN they were told to give us so as to protect themselves somehow and we will forgive them.

Exactly! Another damn bill passed by congress and this time Nancy's Girl Johnny and his other two Tyrants say we have to pass it first so we can find out what's in it.

The GOP Leadership all three top dogs should be removed from their leadership positions first business in the morning and new Non Establishment Republicans take their place if we have any left.

Boehner has been very busy backstabbing Conservatives and the Conservative Agenda since his Coup against Newt.

Call your congressman folks BUT CALL THE LOCAL CONGRESSMAN'S OFFICES & NOT THE DC ONES MANNED BY DC RESIDENTS! Let them know the folk back home are madder than hell. Using the local numbers means they are getting true District calls.

Here is how I see it.

In the meeting they had on this their were objections to amensty. The voters elected us to stop this. Leadership says, “What if we do a trick of hand and change the bill and all can vote for it” This way here, we can past amnesty for our donors and you can play ignorant and cry how leadership changed the bill on us and it ain’t our fault that it happened this way. Us in Leadership are in safe seats as their are Republicans that are just like Democrats and only vote for the letter. This is a win, win situation. We pass amnesty and get the big money from the Chamber of commerce and the safe seats will take the blame.

I forget which Firesign Theater album it was on, but Porgie Tirebiter’s dad won an election. In his victory speech he said, “Now I am the People.”

Boner could at least be as honest and say, “Thanks for your votes (suckers).”

There are a few Conservative Republicans. They deserve support.

My only beef is with the liberal republicans and those that support and make excuses for them.

Yeah that's the ticket..

Oh please “accidently” and “all 216”

B.S.!!!

All these Republicans KNOW they are in hot water for betraying their base. So this is B.S. excuse.

Brietbart is providing cover for these quisilings. Don't be gullible and fall for it.

It's time to RECALL the back stabbing Republicans stat ring with Mr. “accidental” back stabling quisling Boehner. And THAT is what they fear most. Time to replace these Republicans with Tea Party candidates.
