An action alert sent to Capitol Hill staffers from CQ Roll Call suggests that House Speaker John Boehner’s plan to fund President Barack Obama’s executive amnesty action for illegal aliens in a “CR-omnibus” bill may be beginning to fall apart—even as Nancy Pelosi’s top lieutenant Steny Hoyer has been pushing Democrats to help Boehner pass it.
The first sign of a crack in the coalition is that the bill—a more-than-$1 trillion omnibus that funds all of government except for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through the end of the 2015 fiscal year in September—may not be introduced on Monday. GOP leaders were hoping to have the text out today. The bill is expected to fund Obama’s amnesty and all the rest of DHS through March 2015, and GOP leaders including Boehner have not pledged to fight it even then.
“Senior GOP aides say the text of the so-called cromnibus may not be released Monday, as initially anticipated,” CQ Roll Call said in the alert. “Several issues appeared to be holding up last-minute negotiations on the wrap-up government spending package, the staffers said. Lawmakers will likely need to clear a very short-term continuing resolution, since current spending expires Dec. 11. A House GOP appropriations aide said the committee hopes to file that bill tonight.”

Burn the phone lines down. The cryin oompah-loompah is no better than his reach around buddy Soetoro.
Amen!
Cronybus
Some of the R’s are seeing the light—the sword that cut the dems can and will also cut them if they piss away this opportunity handed them. They blow this and they’re done.
Throw Boner “under the omnibus”.

Must they just need a bit more time to add a few thousand more pages.
Folks, call your House crapweasel and let them know where you stand: that the continuing resolution should not contain funds for Obama’s executive amnesty. I did. They need to hear from us.

I wish I could, I am stuck with Suzan Delbene, so it’s a waste of time.
One can only hope.
If the funding is though March, no problem. That time frame will allow the initial nonsense that will come up right after the next congress goes into session to blow over. There will be lots of little distractions that will arise. After that, the funding can be addressed in normal order.
Yes problem. Because it still funds amnesty. The DHS is hiring thousands of people NOW to process illegal aliens. There are centers churning out green cards and IDs as I'm typing.
That time frame will allow the initial nonsense that will come up right after the next congress goes into session to blow over.
Once the funding passes, it's over. Boehner and McConnell aren't going to do squat to reverse it.

It won't because McConnell will reinstate the rules and return the Senate to "civility."
We've been had by the Republican Party - AGAIN. We busted our asses and held our noses to stop Obama. NO MORE! In 2016, I'm staying home or writing in someone.
You posting out of Boehner or McConnell’s orifice.
If the Cowards won’t fight now they never will!

Good one!
Hopefully they are getting an earful of Cantorary opinion.
In addition to Obama’s usurpation on immigration, it also funds abortion and Obamacare.
Geeze, can't Boehner just pass out, fall down and get a concussion like Hillary does when she drinks too much?
It’s not a waste of time to call the hopeless HOR reps. It’s good for them to know they have very vocal and disgusted constituents.
boner is one flaccid “leader”. Resign and retire...fool.
