GOP Leaders Stomp GOP Voters on Amnesty9:08 PM 12/16/2014, Neil Munro White House Correspondent “The allegiance that Republicans have in Washington is to [lobbyists on] K Street, to big business, and they don’t give a damn about their constituents,” said Brent Bozell, chairman of the ForAmerica advocacy network. “Executive amnesty is what they were elected to stop… [but] they punted on first down,” said Jenny Beth Martin, co-founder of Tea Party Patriots. dailycaller.com/2014/12/16/gop-leaders-stomp-gop-voters-on-amnesty/

Boehner strips foes of political postsIt makes perfect sense for House Speaker John Boehner to reward GOP loyalists with key committee assignments, both to bolster his own power and to make it easier to pass the leadership’s agendaBy James Joyner, Decoder contributor January 7, 2015 A move by insurgent Republicans to oust John Boehner from the Speakership fell laughably short. Now, it’s his move.

Conservative rebels trouble GOP-controlled CongressBy Tom DeLay January 9, 2015, Washington Times They say you only get one chance to make first impression, and right now, I’m a little worried about how the new Republican majorities in the House and Senate are coming off in the very first days of the 114th Congress. If you’ll permit me a short trip down Memory Lane, Tuesday’s pomp and circumstance took me back to my first swearing-in as a member of the House in 1985. I vividly remember how our caucus leader, Rep. Bob Michel of Illinois, would note (proudly!) in nearly every speech he gave that he was the “longest-serving minority leader” in history. Well, some of us that year were determined not to be in the minority much longer, and we had to buck our leadership every step of the way to get what we wanted. “Speaker John Boehner” and “Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell” have a real nice ring to them, but the bigger question is what the Republicans plan to do with the mandate the voters handed them in November. I’m seeing some worrying signs already. canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/68860

An Open Letter To Mitt RomneyAOS, January 12, 2015 Dear Mitt, I know we haven't always seen eye to eye. And I've been tough on you in the past but you need to hear this from someone...drop the idea of running again. It must stick in your craw that you lost to an idiot like Barack Obama. But that's the problem, you...lost...to….an…idiot…like...Barack...Obama. Yes, defeating an incumbent President is hard but ace.mu.nu/archives/354295.php

Just like the GOP wants their own version of Obamacare, just like they want their own version of 'immigration reform'(amnesty). The GOP now wants their own version of 'net neutrality'. Republicans Plan Net Neutrality Bill to Counter FCC ActionWednesday, 14 Jan 2015 09:31 PM Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., and Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., plan to introduce legislation that they say will offer net neutrality protections such as prohibiting broadband providers from blocking and throttling content, or charging for premium delivery to consumers. "We need unambiguous rules of the road that protect Internet users and can help spur job creation and economic growth," wrote Thune and Upton in a Reuters op-ed. "The rules we propose would prohibit blocking and throttling (the selective slowing of data), and also ensure that Internet service providers could not charge a premium to prioritize content delivery." www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/FCC-net-neutrality-bill/2015/01/14/id/618677/

How to know when you are the wrong side of an issue... Politico praises the GOP on 'net neutrality' about-face. GOP makes U-turn on net neutralityBy Kate Tummarello, 1/15/15 3:55 PM EST Updated 1/15/15 6:40 PM EST Republicans in Congress are doing a 180 on net neutrality as the Federal Communications Commission prepares to issue new rules within weeks. For years, GOP lawmakers have adamantly opposed any rules requiring Internet service providers to treat all Web traffic equally, calling them unnecessary and an example of Washington overreach. But now that the FCC is moving toward issuing a tough net neutrality order that would subject broadband to utility-style regulation — an approach endorsed by President Barack Obama — top Republicans in both chambers are making plans to legislate their own rules to ensure the agency doesn’t go too far. www.politico.com/story/2015/01/republicans-congress-net-neutrality-fcc-114296.html

New GOP Border Security Bill Removes Border Fences3:06 PM 01/21/2015, Neil Munro White House Correspondent The new border bills drafted by Republican leaders require the actual removal of at least 66 miles of weak border fencing between Mexico and the United States. The border bills also only require for the construction of 27 miles of effective double-layer fencing along the 2,000-mile border. “It is a remarkable that the direction of our progress is going backwards, from a goal of building 700 miles of double-layer border fencing [in 2006] to only 27 miles [in 2015],” said a Hill staffer who opposes the leaders’ bills. dailycaller.com/2015/01/21/new-gop-border-security-bill-removes-border-fences/

John Boehner-Mitch McConnell retreat in Obama amnesty funding fight alarms conservativesBy S.A. Miller - The Washington Times - Sunday, January 25, 2015 Conservatives saw it as raising a white flag when Republican congressional leaders pledged not to withhold funding for the Department of Homeland Security in the fight over President Obama’s deportation amnesty, stoking fears that for the next two years House Speaker John A. Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will consistently surrender. For the Republican base, Mr. Obama’s unilateral move to grant legal status and work permits for up to 5 million illegal immigrants was an unlawful power grab that created a constitutional crisis. If Republican leaders were not willing to use Congress’ power of the purse — the most potent weapon possessed by lawmakers to restrict a president — to stop a brazen unconstitutional act, conservatives reasoned, would the GOP-controlled Congress ever go to the mat to fight Mr. Obama? www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jan/25/boehner-mcconnell-retreat-in-obama-amnesty-funding/

Dirtbag Republicans ensure that another Obama radical replaces Holder at DoJ... AG Nominee Gets 2 GOP Endorsements After Witnesses Attack DOJThursday, 29 Jan 2015 11:33 PM, By Todd Beamon The endorsements, which appeared to guarantee Lynch's approval by the Judiciary Committee in coming weeks, came a day after two other Republicans, Sens. Jeff Sessions of Alabama and David Vitter of Louisiana, said they would not support the nomination because of her support of President Barack Obama's amnesty orders. If the Judiciary Committee approves Lynch, her nomination would move to the full Senate, where she also is likely to win approval. www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/Loretta-Lynch-Eric-Holder-attorney-general-nominee/2015/01/29/id/621622/

Why does the GOP have a problem with conservatives?By Todd Starnes, Published January 30, 2015, FoxNews.com Establishment Republicans want our votes, not our values. That's the topic of Friday's "Todd's American Dispatch," as Todd Starnes reacted to the National Review accusing former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee of trying to emulate Larry the Cable Guy. "The fact is, the down-home values of the gun-toting, Bible-clinging, cast-iron skillet cooking crowd are just not welcome in the hoity-toity world of martini-sipping, country club Republican rubes," Starnes said. www.foxnews.com/opinion/2015/01/30/why-does-gop-have-problem-with-conservatives/

GOP Senate Leaders Take A Dive On Amnesty Fight11:21 PM 02/12/2015, Neil Munro White House Correspondent Senate Democrat leaders are using every tool they’ve got to defend the president’s top-priority November amnesty, including emotional threats to civil society, dire warnings of another 9/11 atrocity, and campaign-style hits against four wavering Republican senators. But the Senate’s GOP leadership has used only low-emotion floor speeches and low-drama press conferences with hostile political media to scratch at the Democrats’ triple-filibuster of the Department of Homeland Security’s 2015 budget. dailycaller.com/2015/02/12/gop-senate-leaders-take-a-dive-on-amnesty-fight/

GOP DOUBLE-CROSSING TRAITORSFebruary 18, 2015 Since at least 2006, voters have insistently told pollsters they don't want amnesty. Seemingly bulletproof Republican congressmen have lost their seats over amnesty. President Bush lost the entire House of Representatives over amnesty. What else do we have to do to convince you we don't want amnesty, Republicans? Make it a host on "The View"? www.anncoulter.com/columns/2015-02-18.html#read_more Tom Tancredo: Why Isn't GOP Cheering Obama's Judicial Setback?Wednesday, 18 Feb 2015 07:27 PM, By Bill Hoffmann Republican lawmakers should be cheering a judge’s decision to slam the brakes on President Obama’s immigration reform plan — but sadly, they don’t have the guts, former Rep. Tom Tancredo told "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Wednesday. Asked if the GOP should "take to the airwaves, stand out there and say we won," in the wake of U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanan’s blocking of Obama's executive action shielding millions of illegal immigrants, Tancredo, a Colorado Republican, said on the Newsmax TV program: "Certainly, I think so. Will they do it? Of course, not. It's a matter of guts and the guts aren't there buddy. They just don't have the b---s to do this stuff." www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/tom-tancredo-republicans-barack-obama-executive/2015/02/18/id/625595/

Bloomberg extols not only his friend jeb bush, but also hitllery clinton in the same sentence... and the GOP groupies will still willingly pull the lever for such a dirt-bag. Just like the socialists dems have their sycophants, so do the Republicans; who will pull the lever for anyone with an R by their name. Michael Bloomberg Declares His Friend Jeb Bush the Best GOP Candidateby AWR Hawkins12 Apr 201537 On April 9, Michael Bloomberg delcared his friend Jeb Bush the best GOP candidate for president. To be precise, Bloomberg cited Bush and Hillary Clinton as the only truly “worthy” candidates, in his view. According to The New York Times, Bloomberg was attending a party in his honor after receiving an honorary knighthood from from Queen Elizabeth II. During the party, at which Bloomberg said he had “always admired the sophistication and fortitude of the British people,” the former mayor also singled out Bush and Clinton as the only two candidates for him. “Hillary and Jeb are the only two who know how to make the trains run,” said Bloomberg. www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/04/12/michael-bloomberg-declares-his-friend-jeb-bush-the-best-gop-candidate/

Congress Tells Court That Congress Can’t Be Investigated for Insider TradingBy Lee Fang, 7 May 2015 11:28 AM In a little-noticed brief filed last summer, lawyers for the House of Representatives claimed that an SEC investigation of congressional insider trading should be blocked on principle, because lawmakers and their staff are constitutionally protected from such inquiries given the nature of their work. The legal team led by Kerry W. Kircher, who was appointed House General Counsel by Speaker John Boehner in 2011, claimed that the insider trading probe violated the separation of powers between the legislative and executive branch. firstlook.org/theintercept/2015/05/07/congress-argues-cant-investigated-insider-trading/

Chris Christie Calls Snowden Supporters "Civil Liberties Extremists" In His Latest Desperate Neocon Diatribe
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/18/2015 22:30 -0400 via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog, So Christie is deliberately using language that essentially calls Edward Snowden supporters domestic terrorists. We can therefore be certain that a President Christie wouldn’t hesitate for a second in using mass surveillance on segments of the population he disagrees with politically. After all, they are in his words “extremists.” Naturally it doesn’t matter to Christie that bulk collection hasn’t stopped a single terror attack. As the Star Tribune itself noted: Independent reviews have found that the bulk collection program did not foil a single terrorist attack.In fact, all of the thwarted terrorist plots you hear about on the news aren’t real terrorist plots at all. Rather, they are all FBI created setups. Don’t believe me? Read the following: www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-05-18/chris-christie-calls-snowden-supporters-civil-liberties-extremists-his-latest-desper

Go GOP, Go GOP, Go GOP... Governor Walker Breaks Silence On Patriot Act, NSA StanceBy Truth In Media Team - May 19, 2015 Appearing on Fox News’ Special Report with Bret Baier, presumptive Republican presidential candidate Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker gave Americans their first preview on where a President Walker would stand on civil liberties issues such as NSA spying authorized by the highly controversial Patriot Act. Baier pushed Walker to give a “yes” or “no” on whether or not he would reauthorize the controversial NSA spying program by asking him whether or not he would vote for it if he were currently a sitting Senator. Walker, responding with typical political rhetoric, never actually answering Baier’s question, but instead said, that the meta-data collected was necessary and access to it was needed. Earlier in the month, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the NSA spy program is illegal. truthinmedia.com/governor-walker-breaks-silence-on-patriot-act-nsa-stance/
