Not all of the dictators in Washington DC are openly Democrats. John Boehner has an R behind his name. Even though Republicans control the House, de facto Democrats are controlling them. According to Arizona Republican Rep Matt Salmon, the fix is in. Speaking of the deliberately-constrained time the Congress has in which to read, debate and vote on a $1 trillion spending bill to fund the federal government, Salmon is more than just a little upset. He said, Ive implored them. Ive begged them. Ive spoken in various meetings so that we wouldnt be up against some crisis.
This is not the way its supposed to be done. A December 12th deadline for a government shutdown that really isnt a shutdown is the supposed basis for rushing the vote.
The belief that the American people are all stupid and little more than cattle to be wrangled by the Ohio RINO is obvious. Boehner is no different from Obama, Pelosi or Reid. He wont allow a vote because it is his job as an agent for the Obama regime to stifle and prevent any debate from taking place. He is also ushering Obamas amnesty through the House and has orchestrated a meaningless vote on an inconsequential bill by Florida Rep Ted Yoho which proposed to attach a provision to the illegal Obama amnesty, tacit acceptance of the Obama abuse of power.
It is clear that on November 4th the people sent a message to the federal government. Equally clear is the response from Speaker John Boehner, which is Shut the Hell up.
A Congressman who was believed to have been the chief rival at the time for the continuation of Boehner as Speaker of the House, Rep Tim Huelskamp (R-KS) said, Here we are doing the appropriations bill the last couple days before a government shutdown, thats not to squeeze Harry Reid. Thats to squeeze us.
Boehner blames the calendar and the Senate for his delay. More stupid people wrangling.
Rep Walter Jones (R-NC) put it clearly, saying, They dont want you to read it, thats why! You think they want you to analyze all the mischievous items in there? According to the Hill, Jones was asked if he thought the timing was designed to obstruct Senate or House conservatives. He replied, I think its aimed at screwing over the American people. You can quote me on that.
Work on the specifics of the spending bill is continuing through the weekend, but the general construction will be an 11-bill omnibus which runs through the end of the year coupled with a separate Homeland Security Department funding package that runs through February.
While the short-term funding for DHS is designed to provide an opportunity under Republican control of both houses of Congress to restrict or prevent funding for Obamas dictatorial amnesty, the truth is that failing to fund Homeland Security in any fashion would have still allowed for critical enforcement functions to continue. Language which would have prevented the spending of money in implementing his illegal dictates in the current short-term package was not included by the spineless Republican leadership in response to Obama declaring himself as our emperor.
Speaker Boehner instead chose to roll over like an inebriated puppy dog hoping for a tummy rub. He is not a leader, he is a puppet of the socialist Democrats and puppets by definition cannot lead.
Many Democrats are expected to join with the RINOs in support of Boehner bill. Why wouldnt they, hes one of them and they are getting what they want.
Boehner isnt finished. Hell find a way to cave in an amnesty proposal next year. That much is certain.
