The text of the 1,603-page, $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill was released yesterday after House and Senate leaders wrote it behind closed doors.
Instead of fighting for a provision that defunds the president's unlawful amnesty, Republican leaders fought for other riders.
For example, they airdropped a political earmark into the bill that increases the amount the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) can collect from individual donors from $32,400 per year to $324,000 – a tenfold increase.
Since the NRSC takes sides in primaries, the new donation limit will help the DC establishment do more to support liberal incumbents.
RINOIt's an earmark for RINOs!
The provision will help Senator Mitch McConnell do more to "punch" conservatives "in the nose" and to "crush" conservatives everywhere.
Remember how the NRSC worked closely with Senator Thad Cochran's race-baiting campaign in Mississippi this year, which attacked conservatives and recruited Democrats to hijack the primary election?
If the omnibus becomes law, conservatives can expect even more of these treacherous tactics from the NRSC.
TAKE ACTION NOW
Congress will vote on the omnibus this Thursday so this is your last chance to stop the RINO earmark and to force lawmakers to defund the president's amnesty.
Republican leaders in the House do not have the votes to pass the bill so there's still time to defeat it.
Please call conservatives in the House and urge them to oppose the omnibus and to vote against the "rule" that brings it to the floor for debate.
Some lawmakers say they want to wait until next year to fight amnesty. They're making excuses. If this omnibus bill passes, Republicans will immediately lose their leverage to stop the president's unlawful action.

The Republicans just won large majorities from the people that voted for them. Immigration, Obamacare and fiscal conservatism were front and center on the minds of every one who voted for them. With a single vote, they pissed away one year of this mandate.
Yes...a flaccid, feckless, torbid loser.
They refuse the ‘mandate’. They want no part of ‘the mandate’.
They want to instead ensure their seat at the Table of the New Order Obama has fundamentally transformed us into.
That is what this is.
Conservatives are going to be made politically, culturally and socially, IRRELEVANT - by design and intent.
How long is it going to take us to wake up to this reality of fact? Are we truly plagued with such a virulent and fatal case of Normalcy Bias that we cannot even recognize where we have arrived?
Sadly I fear, too many apparently think that is the only way that it can be done.
Inside-the-Beltway Party bump for later...
There aren't enough. That's why it all has to be done legally ( No one can hold anything against a righteous man). Only when the majority of people start to notice the suffering will something change (and they ARE starting to suffer).
We the few can do something rather than nothing, and legally refusing to pay any and all avoidable taxes can only help. The more who join us ( because it it beneficial to the individual who does join us), the better it will work.
The communist/socialist section of our government (democrats and RINOS) know the only way to usher in a socialist/communist society is to destroy the one in existence first (through incrimentiaslism it will go unnoticed). So what if WE decide to destroy the socialist/communist society we have now as well? It needs money to survive. Without money it dies. What we can do is try to starve it any way we can without giving them a tool to attack us with. Everything starts with one small step. Now that the American people are starting to wake up - NOW is the time to get that ball rolling. Because it's all legal - no one will be afraid to join a small movement such as this. It can be turned into a "savings" game. It could be "fun."
Just starve the beast. It's easy and it's free!
You cannot possibly be this ignorant of fact and history. There has NEVER been a resistance movement to tyranny that has EVER been "legal". Not a single one. Not ever.
Not our own Revolution either. The Founding Fathers were in complete defiance of the Crown and the "Law". They were seen by the King as traitors and rebels, as EVERY SINGLE resistance to state tyranny has ever been seen as.
It is our obedience to the 'Higher law" that matters, inasmuch as it requires we defy the law of men to maintain obedience to the Higher Law.
( No one can hold anything against a righteous man).
Tyrannies ALWAYS hold the righteous in contempt and in criminality. It is how Christians are slaughtered en masse. It is how a once-free people are subjugated by an unholy state. Our own government ALREADY holds contempt against righteous men, so I do not have any idea where you get these platitudes from. They are not based in history or reality.
Only when the majority of people start to notice the suffering will something change (and they ARE starting to suffer).
You are ignoring another aspect of history. Tyrants know and understand that imposing mass misery and suffering on a people serves the impetus to getting those same people to trade what little they have left for the mere promise of bread and safety, or the empty promise of a return to 'normalcy'.
If a majority of the American people only care about their 'stuff' and cable and beer - the table is already set for the majority to surrender what remains of liberty for a promise - while the tyrants will place blame on their enemies for 'causing' the misery everyone is suffering from. This is how genocides against a declared target are accepted by the masses.
When suffering reaches a level that a people will risk confronting the tyranny - the tyrant is already prepared to use that as the justification to bring down an iron fist and get the populace to accept their actions under the pretense of returning to normalcy.
The longer it takes for a people to realize they have nothing left to lose, the less chance there is to overcome the preparations a State has made against them, and 'change' becomes only a dream.
We the few can do something rather than nothing, and legally refusing to pay any and all avoidable taxes can only help. The more who join us ( because it it beneficial to the individual who does join us), the better it will work.
"Avoidable taxes"???? You are living in fantasyland. There is no such thing as "Avoidable taxes" in the eyes of a tyrannical state.
But to extend you some slack, your litmus test of how limited and ineffective such an idea of yours is going to be is watching how many hundreds of millions comply with ObamaCare and all it's demands, edicts, regulations and limitations.
The communist/socialist section of our government (democrats and RINOS) know the only way to usher in a socialist/communist society is to destroy the one in existence first (through incrimentiaslism it will go unnoticed). So what if WE decide to destroy the socialist/communist society we have now as well?
There is no way to do that via the method you suggest unless 100 years of suffering and incrementalism while being subjugated is your plan.
It needs money to survive. Without money it dies.
When a tyranny can print money out of thin air - there is no limit to it's endurance except a total collapse of a civilization, which may indeed be our fate the way things are shaping up.
What we can do is try to starve it any way we can without giving them a tool to attack us with.
Come on man! You cannot be that ignorant of how Statism and tyranny works. A tyranny will create tools to attack us with. What was once lawful becomes ILLEGAL in a tyranny. What was once a right of the people, becomes BANNED by judicial and executive fiat, and refusal to comply BECOMES the tool they will attack us with. Just ask bakers, photographers and businesses that dare assert their right to refuse service to homosexuals.
Because it's all legal - no one will be afraid to join a small movement such as this. It can be turned into a "savings" game. It could be "fun."
Try talking to a Tea Party or Conservative group trying to get an IRS tax exemption to see how 'fun' they think it was.
Methinks your thinking is 20 years too late.
Depressing reality bump.
The cryin oompah-loompah is as Liberal as Nutters Nanners.
Did the vast majority of Republican Conservatives think McConnell was only speaking ‘metaphorically’ when he said he was going to ‘crush’ Conservatives wherever we are found and need a ‘punch in the nose’???
Methinks they did, or assumed he was just kidding.
Now the reality is being revealed.
Conservatives, you are on the way to political and cultural irrelevance.
And you voted them into office.
It is why I call them Judenrats.
They are going to do Obama and the MarxoFascist Democrats’ work of eliminating you for them.
These MF’ers are going down hard. Take them to the woodshed and waterboard the stupid out of ‘em.
I hate the Republican Party. There is no salvaging this cabal of aspiring socialists.
>> Oh my, Boehner leaves no doubt he has sold out.
The fraud was never on the team.
Boehner is a traitor to the people who elected him. Why does’t someone challenge him and call him out for the rat the he is? I would take just about any truly conservative republican as his replacement. If we don’t clean up our own house and get rid of this fool we might have just as well lost the Senate since this idiot will never side with conservatives. He will side with Obama, his buddies across the isle, democrats, elitist GOP members, and just about everyone except the people who elected him. This POS needs to go now!
If you read the linked OP - you will discover that 'cleaning our own house' is no longer going to be an option (and maybe has not been for some time).
We now exist under an Oligarchy that exists alongside a dictatorship. At what point will that reality sink in for most of us, or are we going to continue to delude ourselves that 'electing more Republicans' is going to save us from the tyranny that is already here and beginning to tighten the noose????
Anyone who voted GOP thinking things would change in the conservative direction are damned fools.
The responses on this thread and others over the past week would seem to indicate, yes.
Bend Over Here It Comes Again
If his Speakership goes unchallenged after this traitorous act, then you will know for sure the Republic has been sold into slavery.
We tried to warn them, but we were declared to be operatives for Pelosi and Reid- when the reality is that the very Republicans they were voting for are the actual operatives.
America has a fatal case of Normalcy Bias.
