Revolt Among Republicans: 70 Members Plan Showdown with Boehner

As the old saying goes, "Boehner is as useful as tits on a boar hog." Now that I think about it. That can be said for 434 other people in Congress.
 
And which tactics, specifically, are they?



Here’s a good example for ya today. The Supreme s struck down an Arizona voter suppression law(7-2 Arizona v. Inter Tribal Council of Arizona ) monday, a few hours later Ted Cruz is trying a workaround.:2wave:

<Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Monday said he would offer an amendment to the Senate immigration bill to counteract a Supreme Court decision striking down state laws requiring voters to prove their citizenship.>

I don't have a link. It's common sense. The very poorest people vote Democrat in very large numbers. That's indisputable. Their education levels are very low.

Another term for that line of reasoning is "conventional wisdom."
 
While I agree bad decisions are being made, don't you Cons ever get tired of saying "ruin the United States" by now? I mean you use it for everything. First it was, "The United States is finished if we do Obamacare", then it was "The United States is finished if we re-elect Obama" and now this.

It's like the Doomsdayers that keep predicting the End of the World and continuously get proven wrong.

Look, I agree that there are many bad decisions, but when you guys keep going into "Doom and Gloom" mode it just gets old and sounds more like whining.

C'mon, now. If you look at it objectively, you will see that both sides engage in hyperbole.
 
No,it's pretty obvious. The Democrat base are a weird combo of highly educated and those of VERY low educational levels.

I'm not so sure that those very lows vote in any big numbers anyway.

Just speculation, of course, based on what and who I see around here.
 
Wouldn't you love to see A. West run against M. Rubio in a senate primary? Since Repubs have the House until at least 2022, please continue to strangle the Country with your dysfunction.
I think if he tries to pass this immigration bill he will be ousted. Hardly any house Republicans want it.
 
You missed the long lines in key states eh? Virginia, Florida, Ohio

Gerry-mandered states currently favor RepubLies 2-1. Yes this is the Dems' lost decade due to not voting in 2010 and the FOX invention of the TEApees in 2009 along with the coordinated disruptive townhalls.

Not until Friday according to the article, when the petititon is served. This is simple bargaining for something back home on immigration, but less adept than what the Senators are extracting from Reid on both sides of the aisle.
Is there a list of the members? I didn't see it in the article.
 
Sad to see Amnesty for the aliens.
 
Eisenhower had the most correct and sensible approach.
 
Revolt Among Republicans on Immigration Bill: 70 House Members Risk Careers in Planned Showdown With Leadership | TheBlaze.com

Seventy House Republicans are planning a politically risky showdown with Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to try to force additional debate on an immigration bill they say will mean amnesty for illegal immigrants and have dire consequences for the country.


The 70 members are petitioning for a special Republican conference meeting on the bill, a “highly unusual” move to go head-to-head with the speaker, according to Reps. Michele Bachmann (Minn.), Steve King (Iowa) and Louie Gohmert (Texas), who are serving as spokespersons for the group.....

Speaks volumes doesn't it. Members of congress need to ban together in order to speak their mind. What a mess.

I heard about them. There were no lines here.

Do you think the people waiting in lines were poorly educated?
 
Eisenhower had the most correct and sensible approach.

and the last attempt to curtail illegal immigration happened during his administration. Let's see now, 1952-60 was 53 to 61 years ago. Since then, the only thing that seems to pass is amnesty.
 
I believe that has been insinuated by Republikans like Ryan, Romney, and FOX. You are in California, not a state being ruined into the ground as I mentioned with less opportunities to vote. Ohio has been on the cutting edge of cheat for 4 POTUSA elections.

Please excuse my dumb ass stating (PEMDAS) in #68 which was supposed to be to you. As a retired teacher still trying to teach, replace stating with students for a better meaning of PEMDAS.

I've tried, but failed totally to understand the above post.
The only meaning I have for PEMDAS is a mnemonic to help remember the order of operations in algebra, but can't see how that applies here.
 
I meant to quote you in post #68 with that post in response to your post #66. I then threw in a barb about today's techno/texting/non-thinking students with another version of PEMDAS.

Oh, so you think that Ohio is a state where there is a problem with access to the polls.

That may be, I don't know. I've never been there.
 
Less machines and decreased hours in historically Democratic areas. What do you think? You missed the lines in the last 4 elections. And the crap their Secretary of State tried to pull.

You don't hear that on FOX. You do hear Rove going off that there is no way Romneycare could have lost Ohio. The fix was in dude. The long lines simply overrcame it. How about Romney's son having the private contract for election machines in Ohio?

Your governor tried similar tactics in the beginning of his term.

Yeah. Not really. Those sacred government employees are 99% white,upper middle class people. He has though tried to help the inner city black kids by providing increased opportunities with regards to school choice. Actually it's the entitled,aging,angry upper middle class,white people he fought against. And won.

That does sound like a problem, no question. It didn't win the Republicans the election, however.

and I don't see what it has to do with Democrats and their educational level as opposed to that of the Republicans, nor with people with little education voting.

unless, of course, fewer machines and less hours to vote was somehow aimed at people who had little schooling.
