Do you ever get the feeling that our less-than-stellar House leadership may actually be trying to sabotage whatever chance it is that the Republicans may have to takeover the Senate this year? Because I gotta tell ya, the thought certainly has crossed my mind on more than one occasion. And apparently I’m not alone of that opinion. Because, you see, Sen. Ted Cruz also seems to think that the House GOP leadership’s renewed push, just this week, to grant amnesty to illegal aliens could very well destroy the Republican Party’s chance to retake the Senate in 2014. So at what point do we at least try to yank Boehner up by his short hairs?
Cruz questioned how establishment Republicans, who have unilaterally caved to Democrats on everything from the farm bill to the budget to the debt ceiling and more, could possibly think that amnesty is in any way a good idea at this particular time. Cruz said in a statement provided exclusively to Breitbart News on Thursday, "Right now, Republican leadership in both chambers is aggressively urging members to stand down on virtually every front: on the continuing resolution, on the budget, on the farm bill, on the debt ceiling." And he said they may or may not be right, but their argument is that we should focus exclusively on Obamacare and on jobs.
He went on to ask, why on earth, then, would the House choose now to dive into immigration? It makes no sense, unless you're Harry Reid. Republicans seem poised for an historic election this fall--a conservative tidal wave much like 2010. The biggest thing we could do to mess that up would be if the House passed an amnesty bill--or any bill perceived as an amnesty bill—that would demoralize voters going into November. And he’s exactly right, IT MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE! And yet, all we continue to hear from those geniuses over in the House is how we need to get our immigration situation fixed and fixed as soon as we can.
He said that rather than responding to the big-money lobbying on K Street, what we need to do is to make sure working-class Americans show up by the millions to reject Obamacare and vote out the Democrats. Amnesty will only ensure that they stay home. Cruz added that granting amnesty now--while wrong in his opinion at any time--would ensure that ‘Dingy Harry’ Reid would remain in his position after the 2014 elections. I mean it kind of makes you wonder if maybe Boehner & Co. might actually be on the payroll of the Democrat National Committee or the White House, or maybe even both! It’s another example of their political incompetence!
Sen. Cruz said, "Amnesty is wrong in any circumstance, and if we are going to fix our broken immigration system--and we should--it makes much more sense to do so next year, so that we are negotiating a responsible solution with a Republican Senate majority rather than with Chuck Schumer." And he went on to say, "Anyone pushing an amnesty bill right now should go ahead and put a 'Harry Reid for Majority Leader' bumper sticker on their car, because that will be the likely effect if Republicans refuse to listen to the American people and foolishly change the subject from Obamacare to amnesty." And he’s 100 percent right!
Why is it that we seemed to be cursed with having our most inept politicians in positions of leadership at this very crucial time? Crucial for both our country and our party. It’s just all so frustrating. If these guys in the House insist on moving forward with this insanity then, and as much as I hate to say this, maybe it is time to simply cut our loses and send the Republican Party to the bone-yard, and to then focus all our energy on creating a new political party and one that would be a true conservative alternative to the Democrat/Communist Party. Even with all the risks involved in doing that, we’re simply going nowhere fast under the current party structure.
