Boehner Preparing New Sell Out?

This article is about House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's efforts to restablish the Voting Rights Act. The Supreme Court ruled a significant part of this law unconstitutional, which sent liberals into hysterics. The part they desperately want back is the so-called preclearance section, which mandated that a list of southern states submit any changes in their voting laws to the Justice Department for approval priot to putting them into effect.

Now astoundingly, Eric Cantor is apparently beavering away to get it passed again in more limited form. Why? Who knows. It is very unpopular with rank and file members, but you have to think Boehner is on board if Cantor is pushing it. RINOs like it, because it doesn't involve their own states and they can point ot it as evidenc eof their deep commitment to civil rights.

The Justice Department under Eric Holder was using the law to try to block voter ID laws. Basically, reenacting the law would give the democrats a sledge hammer to use against republican efforts to fight vote fraud, plus hamper redistricting efforts. The fact that the law is an affront to the Constitution might also be a consideration.

How int he world did a supposedly conservative party end up with leaders like Boehner, Cantor and Paul Ryan?

Ann Coulter pointed out in her recent column how foolish it was for Tea Party groups to oppose Mitch McConnell, who had fought many tough conservative fights over the years, yet not oppose Paul Ryan.

In addition to trying feverishly to sell us out on amnesty, Ryan negotiated the deal with dems that took away the one republican budget victory, the sequester.

If there was ever a RINO the Tea party groups should oppose, it is this pompous loser.

When the sequester looked like it was going to do real harm, it was a dem idea.

Edit: not just a dem idea, it was Obama's idea. Lol.

Don't expect much from a guy who looks to Ann Coulter on what to think.

the victory was for the conservative idea of cutting spending. the mechanism of sequester was suggested by obama.
the result was govt spending the enonomy never missed.
it was disgusting of ryan and these establishment Rs to sell out a victory in exchange for nothing.

these establishment Rs... seem to be covert agents.

1. by the way this was info on the previous sellout.

only 18 Republicans supported the push for amnesty by Boehner and Ryan... and they were counted in the 18.

According to Roll Call, there are 18 House Republicans who support the leadership's "immigration principles." The principles were released at a House GOP retreat in Maryland, but Republican leaders immediately retreated after senators, including Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Jeff Sessions (R-AL), slammed it as amnesty and said they would not proceed with immigration bills until they could trust President Barack Obama to enforce the country's immigration laws. Amnesty opponents felt the stalling may have been a head fake to cool the temperature on the issue so Republican leaders could try to round up enough votes in support of immigration reform.

2. I listen to what Coulter says because she is smart but the way she is defending the establishment here is odd. Almost like she doth protest too much. Sure she can like McConnell and maybe he has a relatively conservative record. Besides his recent sellout if he was such a friend of conservatives why is does he say he is out the crush the teaparty? The vast majority of republican voters want to see those establishment take the power of the purse and stop Obamacare and fix the spending problem. That is why they were elected.

Lets see some sort of Gingrich like pact for a financial future and the willingness to act on it. How about the elimination of the income tax and the IRS. Lets see something financially conservative out of these lap dogs.

You go girl!

Hell, why stop with just the income tax and the IRS, let's get rid of the government! (Ooops! My bad, I forgot we tried that idea out back when Gingrich was in charge of the House and all those government employees we sent home got burnt out watching soap operas everyday, and we needed our social security checks.)

OK then, let's try this. Let's just get rid of just the parts we don't like. Let's eliminate the President (Muslim liar!), the NSA (spies on us), Nancy Pelosi, The Treasury (spends way too much and lies about it), The Department of education (bunch of damn evolutionists), the ACA (socialist!), the Supreme Court (ignores the Constitution), the CDC (vaccine pushers), the DEA and ATF admin. for sure!, the Department of commerce (too many regs), the SEC, the FDA, the FAA (all way too many regs), HUD and the FHA (definitely commies), the Federal Reserve (thieving bankers and money printers), Harry Reid (punk asshole), OSHA, the EPA (need to mind their own business), DOJ (hates freedom and thinks lazy slackers should vote!), the State Department (spends way too much time in other countries), and the FBI (way too nosey!). We'll keep NSF and NIH (so long as they don't work on anything gay related like AIDS, or anti-Christian like the morning after pill) but we'll dump the rest of PHS (commie socialists).

We'll keep the Pentagon (saves us from Russian invasion and makes us the strongest nation on Earth!), the CIA (necessary to torture info out of terrorists), the Border Patrol (needed to keep filthy Mexicans out), and DOT (no nation is great without good highways for its 16 wheelers!).

Then we'll be in Libertarian Heaven!

Laura Ingraham destroys RINO for selling out on amnesty.

Great clip.

Laura destroyed that woman, Rep. Renee Elmers of NC. Her only real argument was that some landscape contractors and farmers in her district would prefer to hire mexicans for slave wages than pay what Americans want. I'm sure they do prefer to hire mexicans. They work hard, they don't give attitude and they're cheap. Unfortunately, the rest of us have to pick up the tab for that in the form of welfare, school budgets, prisons, gangs, crime, etc, plus making it impossible for American citizens to get these low level jobs. And add 30 mill new democrat voters.

People like Paul Ryan and Ellmers should get their own pink slips from the voters.
