What compromise?

Mich 'The Rat' McConnell gave the Senate Dems a clean funding bill that INCLUDES funding for Executive Amnesty!

[zerosix]

Corrected copy should read, “Senate Democrats ‘threaten and pretend’ to filibuster but as the GOP don’t make them actually do it, it’s really a joke on the American people!”

[cripplecreek]

I just tell them that if they do the right thing the democrats will blame them but the people will be with them.

The democrats are going to blame the GOP no matter what they do so they might as well do the right thing.

[SharpRightTurn]

Excellent. Lee is one of the few stalwarts.

Most of the Republican senators are mush (I'm trying to be nice here).

[novemberslady]

Our laws don’t authorize this action

IMO, people involved that dare to show their face on the streets after this big charade should be caned.
Every time they show their face.

Defects? Of course the evil Tea Party "Working Americans not on the dole" must
always have a derogatory tag associated with the name in any headline.

[Servant of the Cross]

God bless Mike Lee. He, unlike Mitch McConnell, McQueeg, Graham, et. al., meant it when he swore the following .....

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God."

I was told during the election by some on this board that I had to support the Republicans or the Democrats would get their way. I said that the current leadership was only interested in reaching across the aisle to “get things done in Washington” and I was pretty much told I was selling out and surrendering to Obama’s agenda. Where are you guys now? Let's hear from you! We knew all along the immigration sell out along with more work visas was going to happen didn't we? We elected the Republicans to stop Obama they have told us that they are there to look for ways to work with him and the Democrats.
It's time to go third party if you want conservatism represented period.

One the Repubs could surrender on an issue a large majority wants.

Pray America is waking

[zeugma]

Couldn’t they pass whatever bill they want in the Senate, then have the bill come out of conference defunding amnesty? That way they only need 51 votes to pass. Or they could do like the dems did with obamacare.

[Monorprise]

What is dirty about not funding everything? Is that not the whole point of spending bills?

How is it clean to pass a bill that funds everything much less pass one from the senate?

Is not the technical definition of clean bill to pass many bills each funding many different things so that a majorty may be required to consent to each item, and to do so starting from the house?

The bill disallowing hte ammnesty action will if passed, be vetoed.

the only course is to go forward and provide no money for DHS. Make them work with no appropriation.

Then begin a continuous loud and ever present denunciation of the President as a tyrant, a non American. Drag him through the mud with an all court press.
