GOP ESTABLISMENT: CONGRESS SHOULD GIVE OBAMA 'BLANK CHECK' TO ADDRESS BORDER CRISIS

While liberal activists keep pushing Democrats to make more concessions regarding the flood of illegal immigrant children across the border, GOP consultants in D.C. are suggesting that Republicans roll over and approve President Barack Obama's request for $3.7 billion without any concessions.

And they are doing so to liberal outlets like the Huffington Post.

POLL: Do you support sending armed troops and drones to secure the border?

Since only $400 million of those funds would actually go to strengthen border security, Republicans have been wary of giving the Obama administration a "blank check" without getting some concessions, like having National Guard troops on the border or changing a 2008 law that prevents the federal government from immediately deporting illegal immigrants who are not from Mexico or Canada.

Al Cardenas, the Chairman of the American Conservative Union, told the liberal outlet that the border crisis is actually an excuse to pass comprehensive amnesty legislation. He said this is a "crisis in need of a solution, and that's what you go to Congress for."

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Republicans should just roll over and not ask for concessions because doing so would make them "get blamed for perpetuating the problem."

Frank Luntz, the establishment Republican strategist, said "being right is not enough" and Republicans have to "be for something, not just against the President." That usually is code for more government or being Democrat-lite.

Like the fat guy delivering pizza.

Hey. Easy on the fat guy thing. If it wasn't for us holding the planet in place the whole thing'd just go spinning off into space.

Errrrrr.....wait.

As for the pizza delivery guy, at least he gives us something we can stomach.

Usually.

Let’s start by limiting “charitable deductions” to $1MM in cash (or check) and to zero dollars for “artwork”, “papers” and anything else whose “value” is “determined” by an appraiser.

But please hold off until I “contribute” my finger-painting of The Lyin’ King to the White House’s art collection. The $20MM “deduction” I plan to claim for that “beauty” should keep me tax-free for YEARS...

Congress should impeach Traitorobama on multiple charges of giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

“GOP has gone completely over the edge.”

The GOP was infiltrated long ago. All part of the evil plan.

Blank Checks- The UNIPARTY’s favorite form of scrip.

I don't think there will be more than two main parties, but that doesn't mean we have to roll over and take it. We're just going to have to continue to get rid of guys like Cantor, Luntz and Graham.
In the interm resist them, and fight. It's always going to be a battle.
They say the right things to get in and then step all over the people who worked hard and gave them their money to get in.
Backstabbers, we have a lot of them. John Roberts comes to mind. What a massive mistake.

Barry will be going through the taxpayer dollars pretty damn quick paying his Hispanic voter base (You’re going to have to speak Spanish) $6054 bucks a month for each invader they house in their homes. Even the illegals will be coming “out of the shadows” to clean up on this big money, government give-a-way.

Proof positive that Acirema is a one-party dictatorship.

I can’t think of a bunch more stupid bastards than the Republican Establishment. It is easy to see why they richly earned the moniker of The Stupid Party!
