[bdtex]

The House voted today to fully fund DHS through Sept. 30,with none of it's own immigration poison pill provisions included. All 167 no votes were House GOPs.

The Senate bill passed 68-31. All nay votes were GOPs.

Thank God for Democrats.

 

[as seen on tv]

so in other words, about half the republicans voted with democrats, to make this a bipartisan effort?

great!

too bad democrats rejected bipartisanism when ACA was being drafted, and obama rejected it when he issued an amnesty executive order, eh?

I think that bdtex's point was that Boehner is toast.

So, the republican run house and senate are going to pay for Barry's illegal executive order?

I hope there is one or two I can vote against in the 2016 elections.

A bipartisan immigration bill passed the Senate 68-32 in June 2013. The House GOP leadership refused to bring it up for a vote. In 2013 Boehner proposed to do immigration reform piecemeal in the House. Dems agreed. House GOPs did NOTHING other than attach immigration poison pills to a DHS funding bill..

Thus proving the vast majority of Republicans don't have the balls to be in the offices they hold.

Not really. The Tea Party doesn't have enough muscle or brains to toast Boehner and he knows it.

There's a reason I won't vote GOP. This is what we get...

It's either that or a blank check to the emperor. I hold my nose and do my duty.

Exactly. A bunch of pansy-arsed liars more interested in pandering to the powers that be than honoring the wishes of their own constituents.

Either that or they're smarter than the vast majority of voters who elected them to the offices they hold. I'm not the decider though and I really don't have a dog in that hunt.

Doesn't matter if they or you think they are smarter. Their job is to represent the people that sent them there. Not to pander, not to make nice, to not build their legacy.

I was just funnin' lol. Remember how the cons here talk about how Boehner needs to go?

Help me out here.....what were all those wondrous GOP ACA proposals, that the Obama/Dems turned their backs on?.....D'oh!

Now, that's FUNNY!...and true.

Yep. They're saying it now too but they don't have the muscle in their own party to do it. Will they try to burn down the whole country now just to toast Boehner?

They were in The Heritage Foundation papers back in the late 80's- early 90's. Most of 'em made it into the PPACA.

Wow...so the House and Senate voted to fund an illegal activity based on an Executive Order that Obama never signed because he knew it was illegal.

Makes sense.

 

[JuliefromOhio]

good for the House. it finally dawned on a sufficient number of republicans that it was ridiculous for them to mess with Homeland Security funding since the Court was already reviewing Pres Obama's immigration EO.
the question is.....why did it take them so damn long to figure that out?
