John Boehner: ‘Open’ House on immigration (200 RATS + 18 RINOS = Amnesty)
Politico ^ | 6/11/13 | JAKE SHERMAN |

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.

I see this Country going down the drain because those that took an oath to uphold the Constitution when elected are giving their fellow Americans the finger.

if so, it clear that the only option is a national third party that local republicans and conservatives can jump into. no dems. should be run by local conventions from the ground up for nominations.

forget about national republican primaries as the GOP-e will fix that game from now on.

I believe you are right, and I’m damn mad. I’m mad for my kids, my future grandkids, my fellow American citizens and those that came here legally and followed the laws (or they get deported). I’m ticked off.

And Boner’s talking point from Karl Rove on the RAT-RINO amnesty vote bloc is he’s letting the House “work its will.”

Garbage.

I can only assume he plans to change parties once the Amerika Will Be Demoncrat For All Time act (a.k.a. amnesty) kicks in. I guess he hopes his Master will throw him some good crumbs — prime tee times, unlimited healthcare, a rad tanning bed, etc.

We all feel that way. The question is....what can we do about it? Vote ‘em out? That’s fine, and we should. However, the damage will have already been complete.

Speaker John Boehner gave a deeper peek into his thinking on immigration reform, telling ABC’s George Stephanopoulos in an interview that aired on Tuesday that it is his job as speaker to “ensure that all members on both sides have a fair shot at their ideas.”

Just like Pelosi did when she had the gavel?

Lying, spineless, sack of ****!

Its obvious they don’t care what Americans want. The Republicans were probably in on the IRS attacks on the Tea Party.

When this passes, America is done and fundamentally over forever.

I believe you are right, and I’m damn mad. I’m mad for my kids, my future grandkids, my fellow American citizens and those that came here legally and followed the laws (or they get deported). I’m ticked off.

The anger I have on behalf of my childrens' future... I can't even begin to describe it. How horrible it is to want to instill hatred in my kids, hatred at those who have sold them into (effectively) slavery. But I do. I want them to learn to hate! I will teach them that these POS "overlords" have nothing but their own comfort in mind, and that the "new Americans" (spit!) are equally feces-covered.

215 Republicans can vote against Amnesty and it will still pass the House with Boner’s RAT-RINO coalition.
