I am reliably informed that Speaker Boehner is energetically working with the Obama White House to entice Democrats to come aboard the CRomnibus — and is deaf to conservative Republicans who are pushing for a very short term CR with a mechanism for denying funding for President Obama’s lawless unilateral amnesty for illegal aliens. We’ll see what happens, but the Speaker evidently thinks he can get over the goal line by teaming up with Dems.
Republicans had better head him off before he destroys the party entirely.
I see it now - they (GOPe) want the ‘no cap’ campaign finance provision to kill the TeaParty.
The Dems double cross him and still the drunk asks for another.
Boner has been consistent in ignoring conservative principles, those who expect otherwise are naive.
Why should the rest of the party follow the dumb bastard over the precipice?
Bohner to Obama:"You hate the Tea party and so do I, ... Let's talk turkey ..."
Once the spending continues to skyrocket and the status quo (Obamacare, illegal aliens) remain, the GOP will be vulnerable in 2016 as they have at least 2 dozen Senate seats to defend.
Warren will run for POTUS as a populist, and peel off white blue-collar and middle class voters, and she'll crush whatever RINO is the nominee. Meanwhile, the illegal aliens will be fully immersed in the system and will be eligible to vote.
The GOP will lose their Congressional majority and the WH again, thanks to conservatives rightfully staying home or voting 3rd party in disgust.
So Speaker Boehner would rather work with Obama than Conservative Republicans. We definitely have a problem.
He’s in with the in crowd.
This “cromnibus” needs to be shoved up the bawlers back side and then break the handle off.
Where’s the FReeperette who always counsels us not to be negative about the Republican Party and to give the establishment hacks the benefit of the doubt?
How bad are the compromising pictures the WH has of him?
The limp, flaccid boner is a traitor to the results of the election.
It’s the “GOP” representatives who are enabling Boehner.
Saw it called “cRomneyBus”. Some truth there I think.
Anywaay, thanks to conservatives’ calls and emails Boehner only has 140+ votes. The Dems can’t make up that many.
Voter for a new Speaker in the next congress!

House Dem: Elizabeth Warren is Getting Ready for 2016

At least one member of the House Democratic caucus suspects that Senator Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass) scuttled the cromnibus in order to boost her profile ahead of the 2016 presidential campaign.
“I would not be surprised if Mrs. Warren’s position has something to do with the 2016 campaign,” retiring Representative Jim Moran (D., Va.) told National Review Online, although he allowed that he was speculating. “I assume it does.”
Warren’s owes her success in driving the Democratic caucus as much to her rivals as her friends, he suggested minutes earlier.
“There are a lot of people in the caucus that understand that the public at large, at least their more liberal constituencies, feel that this is a giveaway to Wall Street,” Moran told reporters. “And I think frankly there are some people that — they’re not going to let Elizabeth Warren get to the left of them.”
