Republicans are worthless. I am beginning to loathe that spineless wimp Boehner.

"The House on Tuesday admitted defeat after a month-long effort to defund President Barack Obama’s executive action on immigration, and passed a Department of Homeland Security funding bill that leaves Obama’s plan intact.

The vote came after dozens of House Republicans fought to the bitter end to reject the “clean” DHS bill, in an effort to oppose what they see as an unconstitutional action from Obama. The House passed the bill 257-167, and sending it to the White House for Obama’s signature into law.

In the end, 167 Republicans voted against the Senate’s version of the bill. But because the bill was supported by every Democrat, only 30 or so Republicans had to support it to ensure it’s passage, and 75 GOP members voted for it.

The vote marks the end of a bitter fight over Obama’s immigration action that saw Senate Democrats dictate the terms of the dispute throughout the entire process. The House was able to easily pass a bill defunding Obama’s immigration plan, but when it got to the Senate, Democrats refused to provide the six or so votes needed to advance the legislation.

After a few weeks, with pressure building on the GOP to fund DHS, Democrats were able to force the Senate to approve a DHS bill that didn’t include any immigration language at all. On top of that, Senate Democrats refused to negotiate with the House on the bill.

That forced House GOP leaders to concede that they could either force a partial DHS shutdown, or admit defeat.

So glad I voted on Nov 4, 2014 !!
And, these COWARDS did it under THE COVER of the #BIBIspeech Day !!

Once again the GOPe, the voting branch of the U.S Chamber of Commerce, lives down to my expectations.

We need a third party now. Platform of three planks: [1] Destroy the GOP and replace it. [2] Neuter the Democrat Party [3] Restore Constitutional government.

"And, these COWARDS did it under THE COVER of the #BIBIspeech Day !!"

I thought the same exact thing when I discovered the article. Haven't seen much about this on the news, either, though I haven't been around this afternoon.

Tomorrow night is a meeting of my local Republican Party, a very Conservative bunch. I will be attending, since I am a PCO, and am undecided as to whether to bring this matter up for discussion or perhaps just to resign in disgust.

John Carter, huh? He's a self-proclaimed conservative. (*&*%&%!!

Commentary on this betrayal by Jim DeMint, former senator and currently Heritage Foundation president.

"It is never the right time to do the right thing in Washington, D.C.

The phrase I heard most often from Republican leadership while serving in the House and Senate was, “This is not the right time to have this fight.”

Whether the issue was balancing the budget, school choice, patient-driven healthcare, eliminating earmarks, raising the debt limit, ending big, crony handouts like the Export-Import Bank or any stand against the continued growth, favoritism and intrusion of big government, conservatives were always told to wait. Wait until conservatives have the majority. Wait until we have the White House. Wait until we are reelected.

We’re seeing that “wait” attitude in practice today as the House votes on a “clean” Department of Homeland Security funding bill. Despite the fact that Republicans have majorities in both the House and the Senate that were elected on a pledge to fight against President Obama’s executive amnesty, and despite forcing through a big spending bill at the end of 2014 with the promise they would fight later on Homeland Security appropriations, they are now punting the issue entirely...

If the Republican majority in both houses of Congress is not willing to take a stand and fight against the government takeover of America’s healthcare system or the president’s arrogant usurpation of the constitutional powers of Congress, then what will they fight for? Who will stand with freedom-minded Americans who sent this majority to Washington to fight for them? I hope my former colleagues will ask themselves: “If not us, who? If not now, when?”
