Boehner backs down in DHS funding fight, plans to hold vote on 'clean' bill

ouse Speaker John Boehner on Tuesday agreed to Democrats' demands to hold a vote on legislation funding the Homeland Security Department through the end of the budget year, without any immigration measures attached.

The move is a victory for the Obama administration and sets up a presumably swift resolution to the weeks-long standoff on Capitol Hill.

Republicans had tried to use the DHS funding bill as the vehicle to reverse President Obama's controversial immigration executive actions. But Democrats repeatedly blocked the move, insisting they pass the spending bill with no riders attached.

"I am as outraged and frustrated as you at the lawless and unconstitutional actions of this president," Boehner told his caucus on Tuesday morning, according to a source.

How many of our soon-to-be, current crop of presidential aspirants will say anything to get elected, but then do the Chamber of Amnesty’s bidding once seated in the White House?

[who knows what evil?]

Squish.

It’s been passed. Boehner used Bibi’s speech to distract everyone while he cut a deal with the Democrats to give them everything they want.

Here (Post 27) is a picture of Boehner and the dems "working" together (to destroy the USA :-(

This is why freepers should not vote for the lesser of two evils

Evil is still evil....why vote for the lesser form? I don't think we were buying what they were selling last cycle. Voters in numbers beyond wildest expectations gave the Republican Party all the rope they needed. They could either use it as a lifeline to save the nation or use to hang themselves. We knew that. They chose it to hang themselves.

I don't much care who the next President is. The US cannot be saved if the invasion isn't reversed.

How about RandPaul/DonaldTrump? We might as well go down laughing.

It's pretty evident that's exactly what happened. Very devious.

This was the inevitable end of this charade. There never was a chance that the Republicans were going to commit political suicide by shutting down all or part of the government.

Time to move onto a battle we can win and quit wasting time or energy tilting at windmills.

[longtermmemmory]

a clean amnesty bill is a joke and the beltway knows it.

[Principled]

believe it or not, it was the repubs who tied it to DHS.

i’m not kidding.

[RedMDer]

Let's Git-R-Done!

Less than $3.4k to go!!

[WIBamian]

Yes, you are correct. The Disunited States of America is polarized, socially, financially, and politically. Gallup states that liberals are gaining on individuals who self-identify as conservative. This duality is the true good versus evil battle going on for America's soul.

However, it is the moderates who tend to choose to vote for evil, which is the deviant ideology of chaining liberty to the cloven hooves of statist politicians who rule with fear, instead of leadership.

So a vote for a RINO, moderate, slavemaster politician will always be a vote for evil.

[Cheerio]

[Cheerio]

So, what would that accomplish?

It would show the nation that the GOP can fight just as well as the leftie RATS. Until they do they do not get my vote and the nation is doomed. As I see it, when the Libs are in power, the minority gets to do nothing, when the Libs are our of power they continue to set the agenda. I am through with the Stupid Wuss Party.

[Cheerio]

What it would accomplish is laying the dirty sheet in Barry’s lap. Let it be his fault the DHS shuts down. Believe me he would not be so smirky if he had to veto bill after bill after bill day in and day out. After a few times it starts to look like he’s the obstructer. This whole thing would turn around real fast.

The GOP do not know how to play hardball. No matter what they do they will never get an even break from the MSM. Not gonna happen. But they can make it more difficult.

Uh, okay.
