Boehner hints a back down on 'amnesty'
The Washington Times ^ | March 29, 2006 | Charles hurt

Posted on 03/29/2006 7:15:28 AM PST by surely_you_jest

House Majority Leader John A. Boehner refused yesterday to rule out compromising with the Senate to expand the House border security bill to include a guest-worker program or provisions that opponents call "amnesty." "Let's wait and see what the Senate can produce," he told reporters yesterday when asked whether House Republicans would reject the Senate Judiciary Committee's proposal to allow the estimated 12 million illegal aliens now in the U.S. to seek citizenship after paying a fine.

Was this before or after Bush called the house bill's 700 mile long border fence "impractical"?

Actually he said the whole border, every square inch of it, would be impractical.

Damn straight.

Notice, no eagle or serpent emblazoned on that flag fluttering in the background.

If you hurry, you could probably get a Mod to ban me before I write an opus.

You all love to say crap like that, don't you? You all think that it MUST be somebody else's fault that you all get in trouble on here.

And, really, if I could get somebody banned, you're hardly worth the effort.

My error. What about the increase of border personal to almost 12,000 in three years?

Here's the question. What should be done from here on out? We aren't going to deport 12 million people. It's just not going to happen. (unless I was dictator). What happens now? The border has been screwed up for 25 years. Do we start over and give everyone here a gimme? I'm all for troops along the border, but that includes canada, a fence will be breached someway or another, but troops every 100 feet will help. So, what do we do going forward?

Yes, usually it's the people who go out of their way to pick fights-often on peripheral subjects-with other users.

Not that I'm casting blame on anyone here.

*cough*

Well, that or comrade Bush.

Or Jorge Arbusto, or perhaps the always juvenile phrases like "chimp" and "shrub" just to name a couple.

I am probably not the best person to be saying this, but has it occurred to all of you that we have spent more time in the last couple of months fighting each other then we have spent fighting liberals?

I know nobody asked me, but if it was the agenda of outsiders to divide this place, it appears to be working quite well.

Every thread gets personal, and none of it furthers the original reason for why we are here. Does anyone have a solution to this other then for us to all remain at each other's throats until one by one we all just leave?

(I feel like that dude who started the slow-clap, and nobody joined in)

Somebody? Anybody? Cant we all just get along? That is not sarcasm either. It is getting nuts around here, and it aint helping anyone or anything.

What outsiders? I see the usual people fighting with the people they usually fight with.

And why not Rome is burning and this beats fiddling.

Of course not. Give 'em a HUD house. And somebody's stolen car. And Aztlan.

"Why should I dispute with facts, when facts are ignored? The point is, your mind is made up, no facts will sway you (or the abb crowd, aka, lib infiltrators) one way or the other. At least with me, I'll read information, and make my own decisions based upon facts, and yes, I'll change my mind based on facts. So far, I don't think Bush is a traitor or should be impeached, and I'll vote for the republican party again (even though I'm not a republican). I don't do knee jerk."

Yeah, right.

Nowhere did I say anything about "abb", or call President Bush a traitor or call for his impeachment. While I think he is way wrong on this particular issue and a couple of others, overall I support him and think he is one of the best of the politicians in Washington.

I'm smart enough to realize that without him as President this country would be in much worse shape than it is.

I don't ignore facts; I have opinion based on direct observation of my little microcosm, and when other peoples reasonably presented 'facts' conflict with what I observe, I make quite an effort to reconcile those differences into something approaching reality.

I literally spend more time attempting to learn facts by watching the news and reading FR, lucianne.com and several other news sites and blogs trying to gain worldwide perspective than anything else I do.

Yet your only reply to all of my year and a half registration and 940+ contributions to the public discourse in this forum was: "Another noob chimes in."

If that isn't knee jerk' (and a totally lame comeback) I don't know what is.

Oh, arasina - I do so hope you don't leave the forum.

We're going through a periodic self adjustment period and, I think, the Democrats discovered this place and are following the dictates from a memo they wrote some time ago to disrupt conservative sites.

So we have disruptors pretending to be conservatives and stirring up trouble. We have DU'ers coming here. And then there are just the malcontents who will never be happy.

And they get us all fighting each other and it's ridiculous.

We should be working together and if there is a lot of fighting and it upsets you, as it does me, just stay away from those threads where it's so prevalent. I do hope you reconsider, arasina. Peach

LOL...just because you posted all of that, it doesn't change the content. It was never anything but a pathetic attempt by you an onyx to bait and insult me.

Nothing new about that.

You're right, the same crowd always fights the same crowd, and if a new thread is posted, those same people show up to fight those they feel are dissing them. So the question is, is it the topic, or the posters who want to trash each other? Kind of looks like the later, keep the home fires burning and all that.

Wow.

That appeal to comity lasted for a whole-what, thirty seconds-before it was shot down.
