1.) $1 billion to aid border migrants [title of thread here at FR in Breaking news], 2.) a roll back of language that currently prevents banks from trading derivatives that are insured by the FDIC, etcetera.

#2 will definitely get noticed by the Tea Party and Libertarians just in time to split the GOP before the 2014 election, and get the GOP the label of pro-banker-bailout just in time to take heat off of Hillary.

Good going, Boehner! /s

Boehner and McConnell sure know how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Grubered by Boehner, again.

The GOP is the most worthless party,
except to the DNC and al Qaeda and criminals.

I used to call Boehner a Chamberlain Republican.

To quote George Carlin “The word ‘bipartisan’ means that some larger-than-usual deception is being carried out.”

2 alternatives

1. A conservative party
2. Devolve much of the Fed power to the states, and because states rights really are more significant under the law than Fed like us to think, and there are so many Republicans in charge of states and they are tired of dealing with mandates, it might just be the best answer to RINOS.

Here we have near record numbers of GOP officials in DC and they ignore after just one month what the people told them that they wish to be done. Stop Obama, and his failed programs.

November 4, 2014 never happened, It is November 2012 and Barack Hussein Obama just one another 4 years and John Boehner is just another Uncle Tom ( He may not be black he sure is an Obama puppet) What goods does Obama have on Boehner. or what has Obama has promised Boehner and others what they get when America collapses. Would you believe that many of the founding fathers lost everything because of what the believed in an Independent America free from English tyranny. What has become of elected officials - career criminals or whatever?

SCREW bipartisanship. The rats didn’t do it. America has spoken! WE NEED fiscal sanity in this nation. The recent way of doing business is literally KILLING America.

Follow the $$.

McConnell tucked in a nice little tidbit for campaign financing...

The bill would dramatically expand the amount of money that wealthy political donors could inject into the national parties, drastically undercutting the 2002 landmark McCain-Feingold campaign finance overhaul. Bottom line: A donor who gave the maximum $32,400 this year to the Democratic National Committee or Republican National Committee would be able to donate another $291,600 on top of that to the party’s additional arms — a total of $324,000, ten times the current limit....and can go to party controlled/affiliated groups.

According to TGO Levin....this insures that incumbents can stay in office. Their campaigns are fully funded. This is why none of them (w/few exceptions) even give a flip about what We the People say, or voted for.
