I'm certain this "US Chamber boss" won't be tossed into the Obamacare pit with the great unwashed masses.

The Chamber is going from THE leader against Obamacare a few years ago to a go along get along ally of Obama. Sadly, they are compromised.

“There’s still an appetite to get comprehensive immigration reform done this year,” he said. “We’re really hot after it.”

We're really hot after that? LOL!!!

That should never be taken up until the unemployment rate reaches 4%. We need to be screaming that from the rooftops. Why on earth should we bring in more illegals when our own people are on the dole?

What the chamber boss is saying is: You’re above your station, bub! Get back in your place!

That’s a problem with being a junior senator or Congressman. It’s an old boy’s club. Almost like a guild. You have to get in, pay your dues and when you’re old and beholden to everybody, then you’ll have the reins of power.

I will tell ANYONE. Your backbiting, backstabbing, condemnations of Ted Cruz gives you no quarter or sympathy with me. If it comes down to disagreements with him, and those like them, and we come to force in a place with weapons, I’ll show you how much I disagree.

“Donohue laid out the Chamber’s post-shutdown priorities, which include tackling entitlement reform, fighting components of the Obama administration’s climate initiative and passing a sweeping immigration bill.

Interesting...not a dadgummed thing about 0bama(doesn’t)Care.

Says a lot by saying nothing, IMO...

I can’t hear the word “chamber” without remembering that my grandmother called her porcelain necessary pot a “chamber pot”. - All that bunch of Obama cronies has targeted Ted Cruz for destruction just like they did Sarah Palin. - Keep talking, Ted!! You know what your job is, and who you represent.

Hey Donohue! Have you EVER come close to getting an EIGHT MINUTE standing ovation like Ted Cruz at any event you were speaking at?

Cruz doesn’t have to keep quiet but he would benefit from the recent words of Pope Francis to not focus on just one thing.

What is the point of the word “commerce” if someone speaks against competition and product protection brands?

Or is this just going to turn into socialist corporate welfare, with a government breeding program the Nazis did it in their gay ways?

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is an enemy of America.

If you are a member, or belong to a local affiliated group, RESIGN, and tell them why. Do not participate in ANY current or future events or fundraisers for your CofC and tell all your friends as well. SEPARATE from the national CofC and rename and reorient your group away from these treasonous bastards who want to replace our great nation with a Third World cesspool in order to pad their own profits with slave labor.

That's why his constituents sent him there, because they want him to "work on being quieter."

Why is it that only OUTSPOKEN Conservatives are the ones that need to shut their mouth and find their seat? Didn’t see them try to tell McCain to sit down in the corner when they were calling him the “Maverick”!

NOT ONCE during all of the name calling by Pelosi and Reid did I hear ANYONE in the media to tell them that they should refrain from the name calling and shut up.

Seems to me that the progressives (or whatever they want to be called) NEVER back down after they find their next target to go after. They do not rest until they get their legislation. So why must WE back off?

NO!!! We will not back off any more!
