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.

Thanks for seeing the bigger picture and putting America before party talking points.

And thank you for using our nation's veterans to score weak political points. Very classy!

Seceding and revolution are not the only answers.

They can stand up and tell the pols that enough is enough and either force them to do what is right...or give them the boot and put people in who will. They can counter protest and make sure that the pols see it...they can contact them directly, and they can raise holy hell over this...which is exactly what all of us should be doing.

What's more important

1) Proper respect and display of the American Flag

2) Party talking points

Gosh, tough question. To really get at that answer we'd have to decide which is more important:

a) What is America's best-selling brand of toothpaste?

b) Which teams are in this year's men's tourney Final Four?

He's already answered that question.

This whole debate has been illuminating.

Now we actually know who's willing to stand up and defend the values and sovereignty of this nation, and who is merely mouthing meaningless partisan banalities.

That's a nice story. What on Earth does it has to do with my post about how people see the Democrats changing things if they get into power in November, I don't know, but it's a nice story.

Back again, little one? Still having problems with that whole "ping" concept, I see. Perhaps if we got JimRob to convert the forum to Latin!

Why the hell would I ping you?

A. Engaging you in a conversation is about as intellectually stimulating as crushing beer cans with my forehead.

B. You're already on this thread. In fact, it seems that you never leave, in spite of the fact that you seem to make a fool of yourself with each comment you post.

C. I didn't even mention your handle, so I don't see why I would need to "ping" you-whatever that process entails in your bizarre imagination-even if I subscribed to your absurd ping etiquette in the first place.

Because you're all about etiquette, Miss Manners!

And you're right, I'm always on this thread. As long as you and your little posse (the ones who haven't been sent packing, anyways) keep calling names and then crying and sending hypocritical complaints to the mods when I throw your medicine right back at you!

Your friendly neighborhood Kool-aid drinkin', terrorist-lovin', trollish, Bushbot, newly promoted mod!

You're welcome Tonk...and that's my answer to your direct post to me.

The idea currently afloat is that the Klamath farmers water now must be turned off to provide for the Salmon. I do not believe or subscribe to that either.

and that's my answer to your direct post to me.

Cute, Jeff. But we both know it was a direct answer to all of us, just as Tonk's insulting use of veterans to score political points was to all of us.

Direct message? FReepmail! :-)

Hey guys, which makes more of a fashion statement?

OR

And if you answer incorrectly, it means you hate America and spit on veterans!

"And you're right, I'm always on this thread."

Yeah, but you never say anything. At least not anything that indicates that you are a patriotic, Constitution-loving, law & order American.

That's not true. I've mentioned guns and bunkers many times.

No, you're here because you derive some sort of bizarre masochistic pleasure from being publicly humiliated.

Why you like embarrassing yourself is anyone's guess.

BTW, when have I complained to the moderators about anything that's taken place on this thread?

Would you care to point to the specific post, or cite the time stamp?

That's much more effective, Buford, when you bring in your "neutral observer" to state how you're kicking my arse all over the thread. Especially with his use of witty boxing references.

BTW, when have I complained to the moderators about anything that's taken place on this thread? Would you care to point to the specific post, or cite the time stamp?

Are you a posse of one? No? Then get over yourself. Ask the mod who got rid of two of your cheerleaders. (Not that they won't soon be back under different names...) I heard they both found a way to voice their opinions fairly quickly after their abrupt departure from here. :-D

Now where do you think they might have gone, Buford?!?
