Coulter on Amnesty
Awesome.
Coulter comes on at 1:30. The amnesty discussion begins in earnest at 3:30, but watch it all, because she is delightful here — especially when Hannity tries to talk about other issues, and she says: “This better be about immigration.” And then unilaterally moves Hannity off of the other topic onto immigration.
Brilliant.
You see, Ann Coulter has her eye on the ball. She understands that defeating amnesty is the most important issue right now. And she warns:
“You should know that John Boehner secretly wants to pass amnesty because his idiot consultants are telling him: ‘Oh, it’s going to be a great boon for Republicans having 30 million voters who will never vote for a Republican.'”
Exactly.
Ding.

Elephant Stone (99328f) — 6/21/2013 @ 7:24 pmProtip – Democrats are not pushing immigration reform because it will help Republicans electorally. D’oh!
daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 6/21/2013 @ 7:26 pmYeah, daley, if Chuckie Schumer, Hairy Reid, and Barry O believed for a minute that this was an electoral advantage for the GOP, they wouldn’t be pushing the bill.

Colonel Haiku (1539f2) — 6/21/2013 @ 8:23 pmelissa… the guy truly does believe his own BS. The nerve of this incompetent, ne’er-do-well, narcissistic idiot from Chicago rolling into town and lecturing his Irish hosts about the troubles really does take a major lack of self-awareness on his part.

Congressional Democrats want an electoral majority and a little something in their wallets.
Congressional Republicans are just happy with the something in their wallets.
Ag80 (eb6ffa) — 6/21/2013 @ 8:48 pmDefeat of the bloated farm bill may have implications for Immigration bill in the House.
Sixty-two Republicans bucked their own party to vote against the bloated bill. Coupled with a large bloc of Democrats who wanted more spending on food stamps, the bipartisan opposition was enough to sink the measure. It’s unclear if or when House leaders will bring the bill back to the floor for a vote.
Remember, there are no permanent victories in Washington. But this is one for conservatives to celebrate as a win for taxpayers and a reaffirmation of fiscal responsibility.Nearly a year ago, Heritage Action CEO Michael Needham and Representative Marlin Stutzman (R-IN) wrote in the Wall Street Journal that the unholy alliance between food stamps and agriculture policy must end.
Congress failed to take that advice, preferring to stick with the status quo. The farm bill was not only loaded with expensive programs and subsidies, but it would have also locked in President Obama’s massive expansion of spending on food stamps

Is the only thing that could move the GOP on immigration that it be good for the GOP?
grant (728423) — 6/21/2013 @ 9:00 pm“Is the only thing that could move the GOP on immigration that it be good for the GOP?”
grant – Certainly not. If it was good for the country or bad for Democrats, which are pretty much the same thing, it would be worth supporting.
daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 6/21/2013 @ 9:18 pmThat doesn’t seem to be the argument folks make though.

under Clinton then under bush, then under Obama in his first term the democrats had the ability to pass amnesty, but didn’t – for two decades let the issue languish
But now they need to take back the house, and hold onto the senate and the presidency, and now there is this sense of urgency…
E.PWJ (1cedce) — 6/22/2013 @ 3:26 amYes, and Coulter supported Chris Christie in 2012. She is not part of the solution, she is part of the problem.
SD Harms (b0bcd5) — 6/22/2013 @ 5:10 amConcur with #24.
And here is another RINO unmasked.
Time after time, we see Republican pols put up who claim to be conservative, true to the Constitution.
And then with a little time, the imposter is revealed – unmasked.
Here is the latest – Marco Rubio.
Read it and weep. Watch it and weep.
Marco Rubio in 2010 – Earned Path to Citizenship, Nothing More Than Code For Amnesty
http://cnsnews.com/news/article/candidate-marco-rubio-2010-earned-path-citizenship-basically-code-amnesty
Now Rubio is the leading Repub pushing the latest version of the tired old Amnesty bill.
Others? Charlie Christ. John McCain. Jeff Flake. Lindsey Graham. Mitt Romney. Mitch McConnell. John Boehner. Chris Christie. The Bushes. …
But don’t forget – both major parties have gone APE.

Don’t forget Freeman I mean Dean Heller, he’ll probably end up like Ensign.
narciso (3fec35) — 6/22/2013 @ 7:45 amIf the USG can’t process either existing visa applicants or the newly legalized Dreamers now how in the world is it going to process 11m+ existing shadow people?
If Congress and the USG can’t answer that how can any proposed changes possibly work?
Nothing proposed so far makes it easier to follow the law than it is to ignore it and wait for absolution. Any proposed new law that can’t do that is pointless.

Senator Sessions Slams Bill O’Reilly For Immigration Misconceptions.
http://dailycaller.com/2013/06/21/sen-sessions-slams-bill-oreilly-for-immigration-misconceptions/
The federal government is too big, has too many secrets, tells too many lies, invents too many boogeymen, engages in too much mischief, has too little fidelity to the Constitution (Rule of Law) and there is too little (to no) accountability of it.
At present federal government scandals abound.
Take a moment and go read the Declaration of Independence. It’s only a few pages.
The ObamaCare bill was over 2,300 pages. This new version of the tired ‘ol Shamnesty bill is over 800 pages.
Life just is not as complicated as how our federal government, federal legal system, has made it.
“It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.” – Thomas Jefferson.
“A government big enough to give you everything you want is strong enough to take everything you have.” – Thomas Jefferson.
Gary L. Zerman (95c896) — 6/22/2013 @ 9:05 amOh, settle down with your ridiculous “Ann Coulter is an apostate !” nonsense.
She wanted Christie to get in the 2012 nominating process because she knew instinctively that it would take a fighter to dethrone Obama and his nasty machine.
She was right about that—Mitt was too congenial to do the fighting requisite to beat the Democrat Mafia.
If Ann were a “RINO,” she wouldn’t be blasting the GOP for this bill.
Elephant Stone (6a6f37) — 6/22/2013 @ 12:49 pmWell Christie is even more of a blanc mange, on a whole host of issues, then Romney.
narciso (3fec35) — 6/22/2013 @ 12:52 pmnarciso – Is Christie running for anything other than governor at the moment?
daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 6/22/2013 @ 1:20 pmIt seemed and still does, out of character with her stances on most issues, and certainly he was being bandied about and in some circles, still is for 2016.
narciso (3fec35) — 6/22/2013 @ 1:30 pm“It seemed and still does, out of character with her stances on most issues”
narciso – Not if you go back and review who was in the race the summer of 2011 who had a shot at winning.
And exactly what part of Romney’s platform was blanc mange? The tax reform? Social security reform? Defense?
Seriously, you can do better than that.
daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 6/22/2013 @ 1:37 pmWe are told those who do not strongly criticize the noxious basis behind Obama’s policies have a best chance, let’s review that theorem, and Christie, is worse in that department,
narciso (3fec35) — 6/22/2013 @ 1:40 pm“We are told those who do not strongly criticize the noxious basis behind Obama’s policies have a best chance, let’s review that theorem, and Christie, is worse in that department,”
narciso – You can choose to believe whatever you want.
You need to review what Christie was saying in 2011 when Coulter was plugging him, not late 2012 and now when he was looking for federal disaster aid for his state and running a reelection campaign.
Unless he says he’s running for a different office, I assume his focus is one New Jersey and don’t give a crap about the speculation.
daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 6/22/2013 @ 1:46 pmI think Ann knows Christie has pandered on some issues and goes easy on him because she thought he had the best shot in 2012 and probably thinks he has the best shot in 2016.
Who do you guys think can beat Hillary in 2016 from our side? Rubio?
Patterico (9c670f) — 6/22/2013 @ 2:12 pmHow about run someone who doesn’t concede the point from the beginning, so a Cruz or a Walker,

daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 6/22/2013 @ 2:23 pm“Who do you guys think can beat Hillary in 2016 from our side? Rubio?”
Patterico – It definitely does not look like Rubio to me at this point. He may appeal to the middle, but he would alienate too many on the right.
The last election was way too long, I don’t even want to start thinking about 2016 yet.
daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 6/22/2013 @ 2:27 pmWell he’s doing a very good Lindsey Graham impression, so there’s that.
narciso (3fec35) — 6/22/2013 @ 2:31 pmI admire Walker for doing the hard thind over the easy thing in his state. I would vote for him in 2016 if he runs for the presidency.
felipe (6100bc) — 6/22/2013 @ 6:33 pmBut, on topic, Has anyone started the meme “This is what immigration looks like!”?
felipe (6100bc) — 6/22/2013 @ 6:35 pmJeb Bush, maybe Paul Ryan, and possibly Haley Barbour.
Whoever does it will have to make sense on Obamacare, immigration, foreign and military policy and the general economy. The person will ahve to be knowledgeable on issues and able to think on his feet.
