Thune also wants to increase gas taxes.
FReep You John Thune (FUJT)!
I'm for it firing them at any point.

John Thune: a reasonable republican, a pragmatic republican, a common-sense republican. He’ll be praised now in the media...until they can destroy him. Fool.
Well, the plan is to send a bill that funds DHS but not the amnesty.
As the blog pimp ‘Allahpundit’ states himself after he finishes pushing the “shiny bauble” in the headline.
Make sure new members of Congress understand the fraud diversion that is coming!
Read them the following:
“There is a chilling development that you need to know about. And it’s not fantasy or conspiracy. The news is already circulating about how Boehner and McConnell are going to play their hand on Executive Amnesty.”
“If you are being told to vote for Boehner, you must know he is a ringleader of the Executive Amnesty fraud diversion now in preparation.”
“First, how do you excuse Boehner’s ramming through more than a trillion dollars of funding in a Lame Duck session rather than a simple stopgap measure until the new Congress is seated?”
“Second, will you vote for a ‘Border Security Bill’ that also continues to fund Executive Amnesty?”
“What Boehner is going to do is to introduce a ‘Border Security Bill’ that promises to control the border. But he is going to continue funding Executive Amnesty which will be buried in the Border Security Bill.”
“Boehner and his people will coach you, the new and returning members, to say that if you don’t fund Executive Amnesty, then Obama will veto the Border Security Bill.”
Here’s an example of how the fraud game will be played:
*********************************************
Rep X: “Well Mrs. Smith, I just wanted us to finally get some control of our borders and that was my priority. I didn’t want to see us lose out on a chance like that.”
Mrs. Smith: “Yes, but you voted to fund for all those millions to get ID Cards and SSNs, and federal benefits and..and .. they are illegally here! You are rewarding them!”
Rep X: “Well I agree it’s a concern, but given a veto by this president or at least trying to get some border control security, well I just had to get what I could get, but certainly your concern I won’t forget and I will strongly consider that when funding comes up again next time.”
*********************************************
You see how the game is played?
And lastly ask the incoming rep if he/she knows what happened to all the previous border security legislation that was passed?
IT WAS NEVER IMPLEMENTED!!!!!!!
And he’ll marry you in the morning....
These guys just don’t realize that an eleven percent congressional approval rating applies to them. Vote out all incumbents because they just don’t qualify as “representatives.”
When is the Republican party going to fight something (anything) other than its base??????????????????
Thune: RINO.
As an alternative to Daschle, you may argue he is an improvement.
I view them as two different sides of the same coin.
In the election, he ran as a conservative.
He governs as a RINO.
The only use for Homeland Security is to hassle legal American citizens ... it will not do anything about illegals who are known to be part of terrorist organizations.
Is Homeland Security a non-essential item??
A government shutdown MIGHT be harmful to the nation. Executive amnesty WILL be harmful to the nation.
It’s really an easy call. Fight executive amnesty and take the risk on a government shutdown. To do otherwise is to validate executive tyranny.
Thune: exempt RINO, ill with Beltway *yellow* fever.
Thune showed his hand the first time he ran for the Senate against Johnson and let the Indians on the reservation stuff the ballot box on him. He let Johnson get away with that but came back 6 years later to take the seat. He displayed weakness then and is showing his RATy Rino self now.
Who is shutting down Homeand Security? They just won’t be allocated any money to work, they will have to work for free.
Thats not a bad deal compared to what the NYPD got from Obama , Sharpton,and DeBlasio....2 dead cops with more to come.Thune is whistling the Obama tune.
I thought John Thune was a conservative, but he’s just a RINO. (sigh)
Maybe they'd like to explain why we're paying for non-essential personnel in the first place?
I know we don't pay for those in the oil patch.
Surprise surprise but didn’t they say that this provision was the one that they were going to use to put pressure on the white house? I didn’t believe it then and those who did were willful fools. I haven’t trusted Thune for a long time.
But they can shut down a piece of Homeland Security. They just don’t want to admit that. They’re getting their soundbites in early so they can shape the discussion in their direction.
