Election results in November that emboldened the House Republican majority and delivered the U.S. Senate majority to the GOP be damned, House Speaker John Boehner is desperately turning to the Democrats to pass his omnibus bill that enables President Barack Obamas executive amnesty.
The full bill, the text of which was publicly introduced at about 8:20 p.m. on Tuesday after congressional leaders missed several self-set deadlines throughout the day, is 1,603 pages long. That means it will be impossible for any member of the House or Senate to read the entire bill before voting on it this week.

We lose it after he gets re-elected in January. Right now he can be put in a bind and this is just the ‘cause celebre’ to do it with.
Yesterday, Boyle, the author, reported that DHS would be funded to late March. Now he states that it will be February 27th, not that he’s read the bill. That sounds like a month’s progress. If Boehner can make it the end of January, then Conservatives can chaulk it up as a decent response to Obama’s action.
Do you remember the majority where Stevens from Alaska and the other old guard (Stevens who refused to convict Clinton) had the big Transportation Bill all set to roll — the bridge to nowhere and all that.
Its that same day all over again.

Have to love Boehner! The Republican that would gather very few votes today. He is the ultimate Democrat in a Republican suit. My hero! Geez, what a grand party we are!
Why vote anyway!! He and so many others set the standard!
It’s not a government. It’s a crime syndicate.
The House has the power. They need to use it.

They aren’t subjected to blackmail or have a liberal agenda, they are just functionaries who are “getting their’s.”
Pigs at the trough.
Obamacare passed the House 219 to 212 on March 21, 2010.

They should have read the end of the book; they lose!

It makes you look like a liberal republican trying to excuse the Republican House for funding Obamacare.

And has to be re-funded in each congfress, or it falls to nothing.

Time to call them out on it.

We have allowed some very sick people to get in positions of power.
Then fund DHS and H&HS until January 31st.
Obama has deferred so much of Obamacare beyond 2015 that the issue currently lacks the political bite that it did last year or will next. Immigration is a white hot issue today.
Cruz is not running as an independent, so snap out of it.
I will always vote republican against the commie dems but Boehner is a sell out to the moneyed interests. He’s also an idiotic moderate.
Can you even imagine that he has nothing to say about what people voted for in November. He is an amnesty whore.
