Rubio Vows To Pass Immigration Reform

Marco Rubio SC Rubio vows to pass immigration reform

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said Thursday he wouldn’t abandon immigration reform until a bill gets passed.

“I won’t abandon this issue until it’s done, until we get a bill passed,” Rubio said, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

Rubio’s commitment to the Gang of Eight was called into question this week after he said on the Hugh Hewitt radio show that he wouldn’t vote for the bill he co-authored in its current form. Rubio and many Republicans believe the Senate bill needs a stronger focus on border security.

Rubio has also questioned whether the Gang of Eight legislation has enough votes to pass the Senate, where immigration reform supporters need a strong showing to build momentum for the bill.

“I’m working as hard today on immigration reform as I ever have,” he added. “That’s what I’m committed to trying to accomplish, and that’s what I’m spending all of my time on, figuring out how we can get a bill that passes the Senate and serves as a starting point to get it passed in the House as well.”

Schumer’s Desperate Prediction For Amnesty Bill

Chuck Schumer SC Schumers Desperate Prediction For Amnesty Bill

Last week, Senator Robert Menendez (Democrat Santa Domingo) said the Gang of Ocho’s plan to erase our borders did not have the votes to pass in the Senate. That technically could mean 59 votes; but if that was the case, we would know about it. It’s more likely that there are at best 56 votes lined up, but that might be a generous interpretation of where it stands just a month from the Senate’s July 4th recess.

Getting this bill passed is a top priority for the Democrats as it will lead to millions of new robotic voters who don’t care about Democrats shredding the Constitution (and in fact will be only too happy to help them sacking what remains of America’s white majority’s wealth.)

The scandals swirling around Barack Obama could very well push Democrat support among the majority white population down to under 30%, but bringing in these new robotic leaches would render that development meaningless.

So what is a poor destructive liberal psychopath like Marco Rubio’s boss, Chuckie Schumer (Democrat Mexico City) to do? Use his every Sunday announcement to beat his chest and predict that his “Democrat Registration and Free Stuff Forever For Illegal Aliens” bill will pick up at least eleven new Senate votes – many Republican in the next thirty days of course!

Schumer’s announcement (which stinks of desperation) shows his GOP puppets have not been able to move fellow Republicans. Moreover, his accompanying threat that unless the House Republicans pass this monster, “Republicans will become a permanent minority Party,” reinforces the point.   Nevertheless, this begs some questions: Why wouldn’t Chuckie like that?  He’d have no more fundraisers, no more troublesome Constitutional issues, no more Fox or internet, and certainly no more NRA! For Chuckie, what’s not to like?

Shakespeare’s famous line “thou doth protest too much” works well for explaining Chuckie’s gum flapping these days. He is talking through his sombrero.

The Boston Marathon Bombing and the London beheading showed Americans what erasing our borders will bring us, and we don’t like it. The malevolent Mister Schumer is in for a rude awakening.

Mr. Rubio, Fold Up Your Tent And Go Home

Rubio SC Mr. Rubio, fold up your tent and go home

When Lyndon Johnson lost the support of Walter Cronkite for his prosecution of the war in Viet Nam, he was sufficiently impressed that he pulled out of the 1968 presidential election. Recognizing the gravity of this defeat, Johnson said, “If I’ve lost Cronkite, I’ve lost Middle America.”

While the squishy “Republicans” at the “Weekly Standard” are in no way as influential as “Uncle Walter” was in 1968, the advice from William Kristol of the Weekly Standard to Marco Rubio to “get out” of this effort to “fix” immigration is nonetheless quite telling.

During a recent interview about the Senate’s efforts to provide amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, Kristol spoke directly to the Gang of Ocho’s Senator Marco Rubio – a Cuban American from South Florida, saying “He should walk away from it. He should say, ‘I made a good faith effort, but you know what, this is not a piece of legislation [I should support after all].’”

Labeling the Gang of Ocho’s “Schumer/Menendez Amnesty and Democrat Party Registration” legislation a “big government’ bill,  Kristol warned Rubio that what he was helping to create is in fact just another bill that will not do what it was intended to do.

In a surprising moment of clarity, Kristol – a RINO in good standing himself – implored Rubio to reconsider his quixotic effort to grant amnesty to those who are here illegally, saying,  “Think of the trust you have to have in bureaucracy to make all this work. There’ll be certifications and border security, there’ll be tests of whether people paid back taxes. … If you like Obamacare, you should like this immigration bill. And I honestly think conservatives should oppose it on those grounds alone.”

The money quote in this interview came toward its conclusion when Kristol added, “I’m a liberal, as you know, on immigration reform. I was more liberal than you were, I think, in ’06, ’07. I’ve got to say, I couldn’t vote for this bill. I just don’t think it’s good conservative governance, and I don’t think there’s any need to compromise with Chuck Schumer and Barack Obama at this point. There’s no crisis.”

Mister Rubio, you have lost “Walter” Kristol. The next move is up to you.

McCain Out Of Touch With Senate GOP, Cruz Says

Ted Cruz SC McCain out of touch with Senate GOP, Cruz says

Senators who John McCain, R-Ariz., once called “whacko birds” are the real Republican mainstream, said Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, daring McCain to prove him wrong.

Cruz, a freshman senator endorsed by the Tea Party movement and the libertarian Republican Liberty Caucus, said on the Senate floor Thursday he and fellow deficit-hawk Republicans Rand Paul of Kentucky, Mike Lee of Utah and Marco Rubio of Florida were not a crackpot fringe for standing in the way of negotiations with the House to reconcile the two chambers’ competing U.S. budget proposals.

Indeed, they represent the GOP majority philosophy, Cruz said.

Cruz, Paul, Lee, Rubio and other conservative lawmakers with close Tea Party ties say they adamantly object to the appointment of a House-Senate conference committee to bridge the vast gap between the House and Senate budget versions unless the lawmakers are guaranteed negotiators won’t agree to link a budget deal to a debt-limit increase.

If that were to happen, such an agreement would let a debt-ceiling increase be approved in the Senate with a simple 51-vote majority, rather than the 60-vote supermajority usually needed for controversial measures.

Games People Play–Obama’s The #1 Game Player

Obama Social Security Chess Game SC Games People play  Obamas the #1 Game Player

Life is all a game to Obama. Like playing chess. The game is politics–above all else–at any cost.

Too often, he checkmates his opponents–the Republican leaders. He appears to have about all the cards–so far. But how much longer before his “House of Cards” falls? There are already cracks in his armor, just into his second term–the ones where he could ace out all the Republicans and be in complete control again as he was in the first two years of his first term. He bet on the Republicans folding over the sequestration, but they did not.

He bet that Benghazi’s mistakes would take little notice, as the Republicans would not pursue that, especially after he reportedly “stole” the 2012 election (by only 2.8%–large margin).

He bet they wouldn’t pursue the IRS scandal and the Dept. of Justice AP scandal. After all, he knew nothing about any of these scandals.  But now the liberal reporters are bristling. They are even asking questions (finally) about Benghazi, as it appears it will not go away. He loses the liberal media on his side, and he loses all.

He has bet that winding the war down in Afghanistan and bringing all the troops home at once in 2014 will ignite his base and be a part of his legacy–that he won the war (but with no forethought of how they will get jobs or even medical care, let alone the mess this leaves Afghanistan in.)

He’s bet  that the economy will turn around to make him look good, if they just tax the rich some more–yet we are facing even higher oil prices and possibly high inflation (and still high unemployment.)

He’s bet on amnesty for illegal aliens–11 million of them, and more and more will come then–buying votes in his bid to remake America (so he will have millions more indebted to him and to the liberals.)  He’s stopped deporting aliens and stopped the border fence.  However, Sen. Marco Rubio is working on a path to citizenship for these illegals.  Maybe someday, Hispanics and other illegals will realize that it is not the land of the free and that the Republicans represent their family values (and the liberals don’t really care for them, just for their votes.)

He’s bet that the liberal media will continue to cover up his scandals, his birthplace, and past. But the ‘chickens may come home to roost’ as the media are catching on now and may turn on him so that he could end up his second term either early–after impeachment– or be booted out at the end of his failed Presidency, going down as one of the worst and least experienced Presidents who tried to bring down America (the greatest nation there ever has been.)

All bets are off, Obama! We’ve come back from worse than what we’ve been experiencing today. It’s karma, and right will prevail!

The American Eagle will soar again!
