REPUBLICAN REBELS STAND FAST AGAINST BOEHNER, AMNESTY
'If it's illegal, it's illegal,' declares member of GOP resistance
House Speaker John Boehner
In the contentious voting over a Homeland Security funding bill Friday night, nearly 50 mostly conservative Republicans openly defied House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio – not once, but twice.
Only a last-minute change of heart by Democrat leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., spared the Republican speaker from an embarrassing defeat and a possible shutdown of part of the DHS.
At issue was whether the three-week spending bill backed by GOP leadership would be passed with or without funding President Obama’s executive action lifting the threat of deportation from millions of illegal immigrants. Many in Boehner’s party were not willing to pass a bill paying for what they’re calling Obama’s unconstitutional “amnesty” action.
“It does not make any difference whether the funding is for three weeks, three months or a full fiscal year,” argued Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala., who voted against the measure. “If it’s illegal, it’s illegal.”
Fifty-one other Republicans joined Brooks in voting against the measure, leading to a 224-203 defeat for Boehner and the GOP leadership.

Later in the evening, the proposal was put forward to pass a bill funding the DHS for just one week, and this time, 55 Republicans voted against the measure.
Pelosi, however, rallied Democrats to switch their votes and agree to what she called “a 7-day patch.”
“Your vote tonight,” Pelosi wrote in a letter to fellow Democrats, “will assure that we will vote for full funding next week.”
Rep. Matt Salmon, R-Ariz., however, continued the resistance from within the Republican Party, voting against the funding for a second time.
“Passing bills that do nothing but kick the can down the road is something that has become commonplace in Washington,” Salmon said. “I pledge to continue this fight in one week, so we can responsibly fund the Department of Homeland Security without funding the president’s unconstitutional actions.”
The Senate immediately passed the one-week funding measure in a voice vote, and President Obama signed the bill just before midnight.
Democrats have been tight-lipped on what brought about the sudden change of heart, and Boehner spokesman Michael Steel firmly denied rumors that a deal was cut between Boehner and Pelosi to get the measure passed.
“We did not make any such ‘deal’ or promise,” Steel said.
Republicans who voted against the three-week measure are listed in alphabetical order below:

It's truly sad that the poster, who knows nothing about republicans OR conservatives, posts an article that would be hilarious were it not so skewed. Boehner is defying MOST republicans in the United States, he is defying the US Constitution, and neither he nor the poster even knows it, and both Boehner and the poster are on the dark side of history. Sad and totally disgusting that so many illiterate Americans support the removal of their own freedoms. The most dangerous Americans are the pseudo educated in the land. Disgusting.

It may be that the party needs to be sunk.

Oh yeah...back to the article you posted; the Republican party has lost its way...big time! They couldn't wait to stab the base in the back as soon as the election was over, which (damn me for being right) I knew beyond any doubt they would do. It wasn't such a difficult prediction. It's what they've done every election for quite some time. But some folks keep hoping the Republicans will straighten up, so they vote for the person with the R after their name, bend over and take it up the arse...sans lube...election after election. I personally believe the Republicans need to be humiliated for more than one election cycle before they'll admit the message the public intended to send them in the last one.

Here's another prediction: In 2016, Presidentially speaking, the Democrat bench doesn't appear to be too deep. Right now, anyway. If the Democrats run another Establishment candidate, Hillary for example, and the Republicans run a candidate not perceived to be Establishment, like Rand Paul or Ben Carson, the Democrat candidate will lose by default.

If the situation is reversed, and the Republicans run an Establishment candidate, like Jeb Bush or Mitt Romney and the Democrats run a candidate that is not perceived to be Establishment (I'm not sure who that would be, but I'm sure there are some potentials out there), the Republicans will lose by default.

If both candidates are Establishment we might as well do away with the two party system and admit we've become a socialist nation!

If neither candidate is perceived as Establishment it will be a helluva horse race! :lol:
