The Speaker's Opportunity

King's racism has given the GOP a chance to go ahead and present the immigration bill. It would be a repudiation of King and at the same time a win for the GOP in the long run. Not doing anything on immigration now is basically validating King and the Republicans will just cut their throat if they do not pass a reform bill.

The stakes are even higher. I cannot believe any member of Congress in 2013 could say the things that King has said. I hope there are some Republicans left in Congress who have the courage to do the right thing.

The House will not be party to anything that could be construed as a victory for Obama. Period.

And there is the easy answer for Whell's unemployment and jobs questions.....why is it so hard for some to see when they were told point blank by those involved?

The only thing Boehner is capable of doing is holding another repeal vote for Obamacare. He would have more success herding cats than he would trying to line up enough supporters of immigration reform from the right side of the aisle in the House. I don't believe there's any courage to be found in Washington D.C. anymore.

Boehner: Judge Congress on how many laws it repeals

From: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...arity/2572839/

Here is the stack of paperwork for Obamascare as dramatized by Mitch McCon.

It's grown. Remember when they were trying to shock us with the stack that was ~6" tall? It didn't work.

Turtleman apparently thinks making it bigger every few months will do the trick. Maybe in October he'll drive a truck onstage?

Agreed.

It's because they don't want to see it, Paul.

I've brought it up recently in two active threads and not a single response from those that know Obama is destroying jobs.

Pretty sure from other responses I'm not on their ignore list, no idea why they keep glossing right over it.

Because they know what the game is, as well as we do. They just won't admit it.
