House Republican leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) is apparently not a fan of the "comprehensive immigration bill" scam being debated in the senate according to The Hotline http://thehotline.com.
Mr. Boehner is so upset that he has referred to the bill-scam as "A piece of s--- bill." and many of us could not have said it better ourselves.
While he tells it like it is, he is not fighting it and the Bush administration is going to look for Democrats in the house, if it gets out of the senate, to vote for this bill-scam.
That is what is wrong. Mr. Boehner needs to show leadership and tell the president that he will not have the votes, he will not fight for this bill unless there are major changes, which have been outlined here in earlier posts, and let the chips fall where they may.
If Mr. Boehner does not like the bill-scam, he needs to make sure that his imprint is on it and needs to lead the house fight for the changes. If he does not, then he will be seen as nothing but a puppet for President Bush on this issue. I think it is time for Mr. Boehner to lead on this issue. He will be around after the 2008 election, not so Mr. Bush.
I hope that his sentiments will lead Mr. Boehner in a direction to fight rather than just be on the side lines. That is what being a leader, whether it is in the minority or majority is all about. Mr. Boehner, you expressed how you really feel, time to take that with you and lead a fight for a better bill so that we will not have to keep referring to it as a scam, or as you put it, "A piece of s--- bill."
