| The New GOP Leadership Logo |
Actually, for those who have followed the Republican Congress, it wasn’t much of a bombshell. In a nutshell, she said the House GOP was going to run around, make a lot of noise and do absolutely nothing about Obama’s Executive Amnesty.
Since 2011, this has been the House GOP strategy. They scheduled meaningless votes and finally now the GOP leadership is saying too much time has passed and we can’t repeal Obamacare.
Now establishment Republicans, instead of trying to fight him, are trying to come up with ways to surrender.
From the Washington Examiner:
Many Republicans, particularly conservatives who affiliate with the Tea Party, are skeptical of this claim, delivered like a bombshell late last week by House Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers, R-Ky. His argument that defunding Homeland Security was insufficient to stop Obama was viewed as a possible ruse to convince rank-and-file Republicans to support an omnibus spending bill to fund the government through next October.Someone should remind the Republican leadership that they did not lose the government shut down. Obama did. If the GOP leadership had not surrendered on the shutdown, it might have broken Obama’s political back.
After all, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Rogers’ fellow Kentucky Republican, incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, are determined to avoid a government shutdown. Removing the fight over Obama’s executive immigration action from the spending process would ensure that Republicans don’t end up in another losing battle over funding the government, as they did last year during their politically disastrous attempt to defund Obamacare.
Now Ted Cruz has a simple idea to retaliate against Obama. It is certainly better than the idea of “censuring” Obama. Obama wants to bring America down. He could care less if he is “censured.”
From CNS News:
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said Sunday that incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) should announce that the new Republican-led Senate will withhold confirmation of all administration nominees apart from crucial national security posts, unless President Obama “ends this lawless amnesty.”Cruz is right. The American people did not elect Republicans to get along with the Democrats. If they wanted people to get along with Harry Reid and Barack Obama, the American people would have voted for candidates from the Party of Treason.
Cruz’ proposed response to Obama’s executive action on immigration comes at a time when the State Department, for one, has been appealing to Congress to approve dozens of backlogged diplomatic nominations, describing the need as a desperate one.
“We need to impose real consequence,” Cruz told “Fox News Sunday.”
“Step number one that I have called for is the incoming majority leader should announce if the president implements this lawless amnesty, that the Senate will not confirm any executive or judicial nominees – other than vital national security positions – for the next two years, unless and until the president ends this lawless amnesty,” he said.
America expects the Republican Party to stand up and act like real conservatives, not Washington insiders.
