He said he has allowed the House to work its will “more than any speaker in modern history, to the point where there are some bills that have passed — with a majority of Democrats — in favor, and a minority of Republicans.”
He said he doesn’t believe that he’ll have to bring a bill with more support from Democrats than Republicans. Asked if he was “open to it,” Boehner said “we’re going to let the House work its will.”
Boehner has gotten into hot water this year about violating the so-called Hastert Rule — that every bill has to have the support of the “majority of the majority.” His aides have countered that even Denny Hastert, who the rule is named after, violated the rule himself. And Boehner only violates it in rare circumstances, his team says.

These people will not do anything until there is massive pushback. There are just not enough of us old conservatives left to make a difference at the voting box or in protests. We will die off and these young Obama supporters will have to deal with the mess. Screw them all.
Traitor John.. Is that Trader Joe’s brother?
He’s right. There was an article on the wiggle-room in this mess. Then there are the exemptions. One bill Illegals are exempt from Barry Care, but they are now “demanding” Obamacare. Most of the Illegal Immigrants are low wage. They will continue to get health care paid for by middle income Americans, be eligible for Earned Income Credit, etc. It will be even more of a DRAIN on the Economy.
Girlymen shouldn’t be SOTH.
Give the Republican party half a chance and it will commit suicide.
“Mr President, this is your moment. We’re ready to be led. Not as Democrats or Republicans but as Americans. We want you to lead not as a liberal or a conservative but as president of the United States of America. We want you to succeed. Let’s challenge ourselves to find the common ground that has eluded us. Let’s rise above the dysfunction and do the right thing together for our country.”
----John Boehner, Republican, Nov. 7, 2012
This is exactly the reason why I still maintain that if McCain and Kennedy had pushed the Immigration bill of 2007 to a vote, it would have passed.
There are more than enough turncoat republicans to peel off and help the Democrats gain victory.
This really sucks.
All you folks out there that justify your votes for a Snow or a McCain, this is where it kills you. It’s you folks more than any of the rest of us, who have ushered in this era of near complete Democrat rule.
My worry is about them voting.
He’s bought and paid for.
Boehner must have one bad*ss file. He’s hell bent on selling out and watch our country be destroyed against the will of who elected him. That’s his legacy - the sell out, the traitor to the Constitution. In DC illegal = do what you want, illegal means nothing anymore. Right from the top down!
Blubbering pu**y traitor John...
What kind of immigrants are we talking about? Murdering muslims or Christian Mexicans? Anybody know?
There is no difference between the Dems and the GOP.....and folks are hallucinating if they believe so
Both parties want Illegal Alien Amnesty
Illegal Alien Amnesty is Anti-American Bigotry
BINGO!!! We have A Winnah!

“Mickey Kaus sounds the alarm: It’s panic time.
It’s time to wake up! Conservatives–while you are (rightly) excited about NSA snooping and partisan IRS corruption, the Congress is about to change America in a more profound, permanent way right under your noses. In the process it will hand President Obama the major second term achievement that will help him overcome the very scandals that are distracting you–or, rather, make his survival or re-ascendance unimportant. He will have won. Democrats will have shaped the future electorate to their own liking. They’ll have transformed what America is.
Please forget about Benghazi and Cincinnati and Edward Snowden’s girlfriend for a minute and pay attention to the main event.
You have one weapon in your arsenal that can trump the big money behind the Gang of 8 bill (S.744). That weapon is fear. It’s not as if the Republican elite has suddenly been persuaded that an amnesty-first immigration bill is a good idea, after all. They’ve always preferred amnesty. They were just too scared to pursue it. What stopped them was the prospect of swift retribution from the electorate, not limited to the Republican primary electorate…
Ignore the f—ing scandals for a few days and save the country from Chuck Schumer.”
Clueless and spineless!
I think you actually hit the nail on the head. Government monitoring systems having dirt on all these stinking crooks is the only logical explanation for their blatant ignoring of their voter mandate and Constitutional duties.
Boycott the entire state of Ohio until Boner is gone. Screw the Cincinnati Reds!
Traitor John, the tanned rock sucker.
