If Democrats would wake up and realize what Rep. Trey Gowdy is saying is true, then we can begin to move the ball in the right direction.
Until they do that, grab some popcorn, folks. When people stop being polite and start getting real, we’ve got some real entertainment on our hands.
She is “The Suck”!!
Trey Gowdy for Speaker of the House!!!
Trey Gowdy: House Can’t Just Defend the Status Quo on Immigration
Representative Trey Gowdy defended efforts by the House GOP to pass an improved version of immigration reform. The South Carolina Republican, who has criticized the comprehensive immmigration bill passed by the Senate, argued that Republican opposition to immigration legislation amounts to a defense of the status quo that is neither responsible nor politically tenable for Republicans: “If I were in California in a swing district . . . I would at least want to say, ‘The party I represent has the following positions.’ And I don’t think that in every case, arguing that the current law is sufficient is the best position.” The House should pass legislation on the issue, but ”that doesn’t mean you go to conference” with the Senate, he explained. (Conservatives have argued in recent weeks that taking House and Senate bills to conference would produce something much more similar to the Gang of Eight bill than whatever the House passes.)
NO! Don't do THIS! It is a trap, for Boehner and Schumer to "make a deal", a la Ryan and Murray.
Why so kind?
Is Gowdy an advocate of open borders? I seem to have read that he is.
Duh! This is news?
Very good point. Maybe Gowdy, from the Stupid Party, was projecting.
Somebody will likely have to explain his statement so that she can understand it.
Hahahahaha!
They didn't just elect her. They've RE-elected her, over and over again!
“Gowdy wants Amnsety, although he won’t call it that:”
You people are posting stuff that is old and inaccurate. Here’s the most recent news on Gowdy and immigration:
Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) became the second GOP congressman initially supportive of some type of immigration legislation to publicly buck any efforts from President Barack Obama to grant amnesty to America’s at least 11 million illegal immigrants.
Here’s more - Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) has joined a House resolution to sue the executive branch for taking action on the health care law, immigration and other matters contrary to what was passed by Congress.
He’s right she is mind numbingly stupid. Lets expand that circle to include Maxine Waters and Sheila Jackson Lee. Then to keep it gender neutral Hank Johnson, John Lewis, and Elijah Cummings.
Really? I oppose any and ALL legislation about immigration, EXCEPT to enforce the laws ALREADY written.
First of all, build the bloody fence! They voted for this years ago, and STILL haven’t done so. Yeah, sure in some areas it’s been built, but if there’s gaps, then no, the fence isn’t up yet. Can one keep a lion in half a cage? Can half a damn hold back a river?
2nd, the president has an obligation and has sworn a Constitutional oath to faithfully enforce all laws. He has broken his oath by not enforcing the immigration laws as currently written.
WHAT IS BEHIND THE IMMIGRATION LAW PUSH? Democrats. There is only one thing that motivates the democrats, Obama included, of course, and the media, which for purposes is the propaganda arm of the democratic party to WANT illegal immigrants to be allowed to stay—votes. Any and all legislation to “address” the “immigration problem” will be twisted by the democrats to get illegals the vote. It is that simple. If ANY Republican, no matter how conservative, allows this camel’s nose to peak under the tent, then they can say goodbye to any conservative majority in this country. Illegals allowed to vote WILL vote democrat.
I know that Impeachment of Obama will fail in the Senate, but sometimes you have to fall on your sword over an important issue. Obama has violated his oath, and therefore, should be prosecuted by the manner laid out in the Constitution.
“Yes, I presume that there are some good and decent Americans
in the central to eastern part of the state.”
There are a lot of us and that would include the good folks who run FR! You can’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.
A neighbors’ eight year old son came home from school upset because he got into trouble for answering the question posed by the teacher, “What is the Seal of the President of the United States?” No one in the class apparently knew so Gus took a stab at the answer by asking, “Nancy Pelosi?”
The left-wing teacher was stunned. She then asked, “Why do you think that, Augustus?” Gus replied, “Well, she has big eyes and claps in front of her all the time.”
Another student said, “No, Gus. A seal balances a ball on its nose!” Gus said, “I bet Nancy Pelosi could do that!”
Gus’ parents are weird even by Austin standards. Let’s just say that they are left of Pelosi and Obama. But to their credit, they did see the humor, albeit unintended humor, in Gus’ guess.
For the record, I think Nancy, Harry the Gray, and Barack not only could balance beach balls on their noses, the country would be better off if they all did and the public threw raw whole fish at them which they would be required to catch and swallow.
