If you took the biggest chronic-complainer know-it-alls at the coffee machine in the office break room, the ones who spend most of their time goofing off and talking about how stupid the boss is, and put them in charge of Congress—oh wait, we did that.

It’s not that the GOP can’t define “amnesty,” it’s that they won’t because they’ll end up pissing off either their base or everybody outside their base. They want to leave it nebulous so they can maintain that there’s some solution that will please everybody, some way they can please the loonies who demand every “illegal” out and a wall built while also pleasing those who want to allow hardworking immigrants to stay and get their own piece of the pie.

If I had to guess I’d say their proposed solution will begin and end with electing a Republican president in 2016. That will be the solution for everything. Perfect answers to all the most vexing questions will bloom forth like flowers after a desert rain.

kudos to the congressman for completing the GOP charm school class in not publically sharing your thoughts 101.

The President will use executive privilege and it will be successful. In 2016, Republicans will try to take credit for it (we did nothing so the President would do what WE REALLY WANTED, wink wink, nudge nudge).

More like the guy who gets caught by a secret camera during off-hours pissing in the coffee machine and rifling through everyone else’s desk drawers for spare change and anything else of value he can find, including sniffing the ladies’ spare tampons they keep in the back of the drawer just in case they’re needed. Fucking sociopaths, every one of them.

I thought electing a Republican Senate was supposed to do that.
Reminds me of a conversation I overheard in which a Republican was explaining that “We can’t do amnesty. Amnesty is not at option at all. I think that would be wrong. But we have figure out a way for all of these illegals to be able to stay in the US; we can’t deport them. Deport millions of people? I don’t think so. So, we need a plan where they can stay but that plan can’t be amnesty.”
I kept my mouth shut, but yea, I wanted to scream, “That’s what amnesty IS! Letting people stay!”

MSM is so damn lame. Even that totally inept Mark Halperin should know, since he’s very much a part of it, that MainStream Media doesn’t want to know a damn thing, and further, doesn’t even care about anyone but themselves.
They KNOW the GOP has no alternatives, no desire to do anything for the American people, but continue to push the totally false meme that both sides do it. No, they don’t. Only you do it, you lazy MFers.

It did—cleared up that problem with Ebola-armed ISIS fighters swarming across the border didn’t it, now? Shut that down.

When are one of these pseudo-journalist fucks going to grow a pair and just flip out and say “you know…your blatant evasiveness isn’t clever, it’s not fooling anyone and it just makes you look like a lying ass who is trying to hide things from the American people, so if you’re not going to answer my direct and simple questions with direct and simple answers, then get the fuck off my show and never come back. I’m serious…begone you little troll…you represent everything that is wrong with Washington D.C.”

The interesting thing is that the Senate bill, which Huelskamp and his colleagues have refused to allow a vote on, is not an amnesty. It requires the payment of fines and back taxes. As a result of not voting on this very reasonable, non-amnesty bill, they may get an Executive Action, which probably won’t involve any fines, because the President lacks the authority to fine anyone without a law passed by Congress. So their non-action is the cause of the amnesty.

After watching Huelskamp for a while you could probably guess he’s from Kansas.

You know this, how?

Here’s a wild idea. How about we send them home?
How many citizens are unemployed? How many families are relying on the government
instead of family members for support? And that old line about them
taking jobs Americans don’t want died years ago. Walk on a construction
site. The foremen are the guys that speak SOME English.
Unemployed Mexicans are NOT the responsibility of the Federal Government. Send them home.
Change the topic to Obamacare and ask GOP Congress critters about the second half of their mantra…repeal and replace…just what is the plan you have to replace Obamacare, and you will get the same obfuscation.
They don’t have one…they never plan to have one…they just want to repeal because…Obama and uppity and socialism…and “we never said that.”
