Thought we were told if we give these clowns a majority, they would stop amnesty, Zerocare in it's tracks and get the Keystone pipeline passed. I don't see any difference in the Senate and House than when Pelosi and Reid ran the place.
ZitatEven as reports emerge demonstrating that President Obama’s executive amnesty will precipitate voter fraud by granting driver’s licenses and social security numbers to illegal immigrants, Republican leaders are already preparing to cave on the immigration issue.
The House of Representatives has passed a bill that would fund the Department of Homeland Security except for President Obama’s executive amnesty program. Now, the Senate is stonewalling, with Democrats voting repeatedly not to take up the bill, insisting instead that Republicans pass a bill funding the executive amnesty along with the rest of the DHS.
Which means that we’re nearing Republican surrender.
Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) maintains that it is time for Democrats in the Senate “to get off their ass and do something other than vote ‘no.’” But Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is preparing the groundwork for the cave, stating, “I think it’s clear we can’t go forward in the Senate unless you all have heard something I haven’t. And so the next move, obviously, is up to the House.”
That’s nonsense. When Republicans represented the Senate minority during the Obamacare shutdown, the media declared that Republicans were obstructionists. Now that Democrats are in the minority, the shoe is on the other foot. And despite Republican fears that the Obamacare shutdown would crush electoral prospects, Republicans won a sweeping victory in 2014.
But Republican leaders are frightened nonetheless. They are frightened of media members blaming them for any flaws in security stemming from DHS funding, and too afraid to say what Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL) has correctly said:
It’s a very dangerous game. If we have a successful terrorist attack – all the dead Americans from that should be laid at the feet of the Democratic caucus…In the end, [Democrats] have to defend the country. They have sworn the allegiance to do that. They need to live up to their oaths of office. In the Democratic mind, politics is everything. I would say to them, politics is not everything. If you don’t have a country to defend, what is the purpose of politics?
Many top Republicans don’t have Kirk’s backbone. And so they fall into the trap of blaming other Republicans for a DHS shutdown even though Democrats are fully responsible for that shutdown. Or, more cynically, they seek to garner mainstream media love for throwing their colleagues under the bus.

As usual we was lied to. There is no difference. The names change, the actions are the same.
The only effective FED GOV led war going on these days is not the one taking place in the so-called war against terrorism or in the mid-east.
It is instead the war between the elites of the Ruling Class (made up of both Ds and Rs) and the rest of us. Here's how it works:
The dems are the shock troops. They attack and invade - taking new territory (like imposing Social Security, Medicare, Zero Care). Corresponding with the dems taking new territory is a reduction in our freedoms and an onslaught on our wallets.
Once the dems have taken the territory, the refugees in the occupied zones (i.e. us) think we can "revolt" by electing repubes. Silly us. While the pubbies whisper promises in our collective ears about repealing Zero care and stopping the one man wrecking ball known as Emperor Zero, they are in fact all about solidifying the gains the dems have made.
They are the mop up forces - the occupying army. They ensure that none of the gains the dems have made are ever ceded back to "we, the people."
The system is broken. It doesn't matter if we get 70, 80, or even 90 GOP senators. It doesn't matter if 8 of the 9 justices on the SCOTUS are appointed by 'pubes. It doesn't matter if Scott Walker, the Jebster, Hil-liar-y, Cochise Warren wins in '16. It doesn't even matter if Zero declares martial law, cancels the '16 elections, and stays in the WH.
Kiss the country goodbye. It was nice while it lasted.
Hillary's 2016 campaign slogan: Elect Clinton in '16 - believe it or not, there's STILL some of the country that hasn't been "fundamentally changed".
