In the Speaker's lobby just off the House floor, members of Congress were full of recriminations over how the border bill had just died -- until it sprang back to life.
House leadership has announced a 3pm special conference meeting to discuss the issue and raised the possibility of additional votes before the House departs for summer recess.
The change is an abrupt shift from a decision to pull the bill and leave without a vote on it at all. According to Republicans familiar with the matter, the decision prompted a sudden and fierce backlash against Speaker John Boehner from rank-and-file members who wanted to be able to tout passage of the bill to constituents over the summer break.
In particular, members said, the House shouldn't leave without even taking a vote -- raising the prospect that the measure may come to the floor, only to be defeated as House leaders knew it would be hours earlier.

Right.
Have you noticed that when a man walks into a crowded room with a loaded sidearm that everybody pays attention to what he says?
Doc Filmmaker: Illegals told if they dont vote Democrat they would be arrested & deported
Luke and Jo Anne Livingston, former director and producer of our PolitiChicks studio show, have been working with Tea Party Patriots on a documentary about the influx of illegals across the U.S. Jo Anne just posted a statement about their findings on her Facebook page and she has given me permission to share it here. From Jo Anne:
Just arriving home from two solid days of interviewing experts on this immigration crisis. Numbers USA executive director, Center for Immigration Studies, director, Rep Steve King, Rep Louis Gohmert ( Texas) who has spent several of the last weekends on the border TALKING TO THE IMMIGRANTS THEMSELVES! Luke spent 8 days on the border. We talked to a doctor about the diseases coming in unchecked by any medical personnel. Today I SAW the legislation trying to get pushed thru that says that Eric Holder will appoint judges to hear these cases and the bill states that IF they do not appear for their hearing, the judge has no authority to issue arrests warrants or fines. The judge can only set another hearing and another hearing and another hearing into infinity. YOU DONT get that deal for failing to appear in court! Why would ANYONE WANT these people to come here? Because before the LAST election, the illegals were handed voter registrations and told they would be sent to states with NO ID check for voting. If they did not show up and vote the democratic ticket, they would be arrested and deported. I am NOT making this stuff up! We have turned over every rock investigating this stuff and have witness after witness after witness testifying to this to it. For the sake of PETE! Pay attention AMERICA!!!
This is EXACTLY what the Cloward-Piven Plan called for. It is no coincidence that Obama was a signed member of The New Party, co-founded by Francis Fox Piven to carry out that plan, and no coincidence that Obama was the lawyer who carried out the two primary LEGAL planks to implement that plan to collapse America’s economy, elections, and infrastructure so the country would be destroyed and become communist. Making sure the Motor Voter Law superceded all state election laws was the plank Obama himself initiated the lawsuit for - and as Cloward-Piven said, the purpose was to make elections moot.
This is an all-out attack on this nation, its Constitution, its democratic form of government, its laws, and its people.
Treason in the thousandth degree.
Isn't it Muslim Outreach under B. Hussein?
“ON HOLD with Boners Office...patriotic music in the background, however, I hear some weeping and sniffing in the background.”
ROFLOL!
I just called and got through immediately. I was told that McCarthy supports the bill but doesn’t support amnesty.
They lie as much as the libs, these RINOs.
The poor lady answering the phone got corrected on what amnesty is, how we are BROKE as a nation and voting for funding for anyone who does not belong here is shameful.
Despicable.
“Yes, definitely. But, Im asking which committee members - like the Kay Granger committee.”
Call McCarthy’s office. I got through right away. Was told he is not for amnesty, but is for the bill. I told the phone lady that I was not so stupid as to believe he not for amnesty when he’s for spending OUR money on these illegals and letting them stay here. That IS amnesty.
The RINOs think we are as stupid as the dem’s constituents.
I can’t wait to be out of this idiot’s district. 8 months to go.....
“This is EXACTLY what the Cloward-Piven Plan called for. “
Thank you for reminding us. We need to remember - and tell everyone that will listen - that this is just part of the plot.
A very conservative friend of mine was pondering WHY Obama was doing all these crazy things. After I told her about the Cloward-Piven strategy, she gets it. And is even more worried than before. But I know she’ll spread the news ;)
That includes so many, including the media who helps these liberals/progressives lie, cheat, steal, deceive all in the name of more corrupt government power for their movement.
We need our own Nuremberg trials here in America for crimes against our Constitutional freedoms and liberties. It would include politicians, government officials, media editors & their bosses, judges, etc. and bring their corruption to justice.

Good. They deserve an ear full.
LOL! Right.
I have called my Congressman and encouraged him to stand firm against amnesty, no matter who brings the bill up, in whatever form. I am confident he will do so. He is one of the most reliable conservative votes in the House.
I have to leave a voice mail. The IVR said they are experiencing an unusually large call volume.
You betcha.
If only John Boehner retired republican could take a super majority in the House and senate in the midterms.
I think there is a very real chance that the GOPe is going to blow in in November big time. These schemes alienate conservative Americans and if successful, will probably result in the Senate staying comfortably Rat and the pubbies losing some of its majority in the House. Plus, of course, it gives Obama a free hand to destroy us by 2016.

Ted Cruz doesnt care if John Boehner hates him. He likes it.

Well John and those who elect him certainly are playing the Good Little puppet for Obama. Acting quite dutifully upon ever piece of miss-information Obama’s cronies seek to lead him around on a leash with.
John has behaved perfectly as Obama would have desired in efforts that could only divide and destroy our base.
No matter what happens John Boehner needs to step down as speaker, as does the head of the republican Party. Their numerous electoral defeats have proven theses men antithetical to a successful party. If they had any decency at all, any intention not to destroy the republican party they WOULD step down!
Replacing Republicans with Tea Party Members is the only answer....
