Breitbart News Executive Chairman Steven K. Bannon asked the congresswoman, who was a guest on Breitbart News Saturday Sirius XM Patriot channel 125, “Has there been any firm commitment from the leadership of the Republican party saying that this amnesty is not going to happen?” Bachmann replied with a question, “Do you want the truth? Okay, I’ll tell all of Breitbart listeners what happened this week. I was floored!”

In the weekly meeting called “Republican Conference” in the House of Representatives, “we all knew that the big issue for the week was going to be the president announcing his amnesty,” she explained. Bachmann recounted that all of the leadership went to the microphone, including John Boehner.

“They acted as though the amnesty issue wasn’t even an issue. They said that the President is going to do what he’s going to do, and we are not going to get down in the mud with him. We are not going to engage, and what we are going to do is to talk about our positive solutions on jobs, the economy, education, and manufacturing,” Bachmann said.

She added that each congressman who spoke reiterated that not engaging Obama and staying positive was a “brilliant strategy.”

"We will not engage," she reiterated with disgust.

Anyone who thinks the Republicans are going to change the direction this country is headed are delusional. The two party system of government is “heads we win,tails you lose”. I am not optimistic or pessimistic simply realistic.

Obama didn't use an EO to make changes to Obamacare. He has made 24 changes to Obamacare using an unconstitutional so-called "Administrative Action".

I believe that was written into the law, the "authority" to make changes in the law. It was given to the HHS Secretary, but since Obama was her boss, he simply made the decision. Over and over again in the ACA is the phrase, "The Secretary (of HHS) has the authority...", or similar language. Remember Pelosi said we have to pass the law to see what's in it. Congress never even knew what they were approving.

We keep using the term RINOs, but really they are just products of the Republican primary voters, who are nearly as uninformed as their Democrat cousins.

True conservative, but she could not break out of the 2012 pack; Rick Santorum beat her to the punch, and then he folded by not qualifying for the VA ballot, where he lives now. No wonder Republican primary voters flocked to Romney. They were looking for a familiar name.

I know that Tennessee selected both Corker and Alexander (both RINOs) because two conservatives split the vote in the primary.
