From the linked article...

But it appears, according to liberal blogger Greg Sargent, that the public appearance of immigration reform being “dead” may be a coordinated leak system from the House GOP leadership in order to distract conservatives.

“Either GOP leaders are leaking that there will be no vote, in order to quiet fears on the right while they decide what to vote on,” Sargent wrote on Friday. “Or they are letting it be known that they “hope” to have a vote, to defer any political fallout that might come from killing reform, in the full intention of doing just that. Take your pick.”

Sargent, a liberal blogger connected in Democratic Party circles, said aides to leftist lawmakers believe the House GOP leadership is faking this appearance of amnesty being “dead” to give them clearance to shore up support—all part of a plan to distract conservatives.

Don't usually put stock into what a *liberal blogger* has to say, but...NOTHING to do with RINO's surprises me anymore, either. Sad thing...when your party leaves you :(

Yes, this is the key takeaway from the article

"...the public appearance of immigration reform being “dead” may be a coordinated leak system from the House GOP leadership in order to distract conservatives."

Keep the pressure on. Contact your Representative and tell him you don't want any immigration legislation moved in this Congress. The danger of something that can be conferenced with the Senate into amnesty is too great.
