The only reason Republicans would do anything in lame duck is because they think misguided maybe that they would get a better deal than the next congress. But I don't see that happening, I don't think Bohner is evil just cowardly and dumb.

If Boehner thinks amnesty is such a great move for the GOP, why would he wait? Maybe because the GOP would have a smaller majority in the House next year? After the Dems took over congress, didn't didn't GWB say he could get things done now?

Along this same train of thought, if Boehner doesn't push amnesty in the lame duch session, it musr mean he is confident he will bee Speaker next year. But I am still going to tell my Rep to vote no.

Meanwhile, Lindsay Graham was on TV today explaining how amnesty will be great for the GOP.

Didn't you predict that with a Dem in the white house, the GOP would resist amnesty? Do you still believe that?

It might be like that freeper defending him said "Maybe no one will oppose him". Being Os bitch is not a rewarding job.

That example is not a good one to use to argue a lame Duck push. If anything Bohner would have better luck next year with that with 6 more Dems.

Its a pretty ugly situation now but that is what delusion and fantasy gets a party. “We are winning. Romney will win big. Most Americans are conservatives and will vote Republican. Congress will impeach O ” wishes do not make reality change,.

If Republicans don't reality check and come up with real ideas that they know how to sell voters, and learn how to fight smart, then 2008 to 2012 will be the standard. Big losses with an occasional mid-term win.

I don't remember that exactly but it does make sense. IF Obama gets amnesty and the GOP helps him Republicans get nothing, nothing good. Dems get the credit.

That would be pretty stupid.

I probably pinged you on this but I pointed out yesterday that Romney in one of the Obama debates said he is for a ‘path to citizenship’. Having won the primary being toughest on illegals he decided he needed to say this to win.

Its hard to believe facing a re-election that Mitt wouldn't have tried something on this.
It could be that Bohner wanted a Romney to do this versus Obama to get the credit but the election results scared the daylights out of him. Bohner just pulled this out of the blue so who knows?,
