About a week ago, House Republicans passed a funding bill that aimed to block President Obamas de facto amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants.
Already, GOP leadership wants to abandon that bill and replace it with a Plan B, which has the unfortunate flaw of not being a plan to stop the amnesty at all.

Indeed. Good thing we’ve stopped all those leftist policies in their tracks.
The White Flag Party.
In order to “give up one fighting”, one must first start fighting.
Kabuki theater doesn’t count as fighting.
No.
I wish that the Republicans had lost.
I wish that the Democrats had lost, too.
But the Republican win was worse -- they took it as proof that I'm not a Democrat
is enough to get elected when, functionally, they are democrats.
We should have taken a look at how they've done nothing during the last decade to push for what they say that they're for; we should have treated them like this:
(Matthew 25:14-30)
Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them. To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more. So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more. But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his masters money.
After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them. The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. Master, he said, you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.
His master replied, Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your masters happiness!
The man with two bags of gold also came. Master, he said, you entrusted me with two bags of gold; see, I have gained two more.
His master replied, Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your masters happiness!
Then the man who had received one bag of gold came. Master, he said, I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.
His master replied, You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.
So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags. For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
The problem is (as you well know) is there is now NO opposition party. Reid is gone, so the GOP from ...(hell, less than 24 hours after the election) backpedaled on everything we care about.
Bears repeating ...
The Republican win was worse — they took it as proof that “I’m not a Democrat” is enough to get elected when, functionally, they are democrats.
It's worse than that: the leadership was telling us, even before the elections, that they were going to do this.
Yes they did
He that hath and ear, let him hear.
Sadly not many ears even here.
