Sessions: House GOP Is On the Verge Of Breaking 2014 Campaign Promises

Senator Jeff Sessions (R., Ala.) suggested that House Republicans are on the verge of breaking their campaign promise to fight President Obama’s administrative amnesty, judging by the legislative text currently being circulated.

Sessions said that the proposed language “fails to meet [the] test” established by Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus, who promised earlier this year that the GOP would do everything possible to thwart Obama’s executive orders.

“The executive amnesty language is substantially weaker than the language the House adopted this summer, and does not reject the central tenets of the President’s plan: work permits, Social Security and Medicare to 5 million illegal immigrants — reducing wages, jobs and benefits for Americans,” Sessions said in the statement expressing his dissatisfaction with the results of a House Republican conference meeting today.

In the meeting, “the lawmakers began coalescing around a two-part plan that would allow a symbolic vote to show their frustration with President Obama’s executive action on immigration, before funding the government ahead of a Dec. 11 deadline,” according to the New York Times.

Sessions wants Congress to attach a rider to the government-funding bill that prohibits Obama from implementing the orders; his office released a list yesterday, compiled with the assistance the Congressional Research Service, of instances of Congress doing just that on a variety of issues last year.

“Congress must respond to the president’s unlawful action by funding the government but not funding illegal amnesty,” Sessions said. “This is a perfectly sound and routine application of Congressional authority. In fact, the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service reports that last year’s omnibus spending bill included 16 such funding restrictions on fee-based programs.”

To those inclined to worry that using the spending power would backfire on Republicans, Sessions suggested that economic populism would lead to a GOP victory.

“Polling shows voters believe that Americans should get preference for available jobs by almost a 10–1 margin,” Sessions said. ”Republicans should not be timid or apologetic, but mount a bold defense of struggling Americans.”

Thanks, Philip.....

Obama will do everything he possibly can before the new Congress gathers next year.

Boehner has got to GO......we need strong leadership....not a wimpy cry-baby with no leadership qualities.

Have a peaceful, Happy Christmas. God Bless!

Tend to your family first Kathryn. They need you more than our country needs you at this point.

Take a break. You've worked hard. You're such a wonderful patriot.

Hopefully Obama will see fit to douse the political fires until after the New Year.

Philip......you or I really do not KNOW if this is true or not.......I am inclined to believe this article but am dealing with the pending loss of my dear, sweet, brother in law.

I receive multiple daily 'reports' of all of this pending "DOOM".................I have actually been deleting them.

All of the 'fear mongering' is making me crazy......I think that God keeps bringing me back to family matters....helping me to focus on that which is close to me.

Who, among us, has not heard that "ALL politics are LOCAL"??????............

Here we are at the most wonderful time of year that reminds us of the sacrifice  God, our Father, was willing to make so that we could obtain Heaven.

These moronic politicians stand on their soap boxes for personal fame, name recognition, wealth or whatever.....their statements have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with "US".....it is all about their personal power, status or whatever it is that gets them out of bed in the morning...they listen to a few "SMART PEOPLE" who tell them which way the wind is blowing and how it will benefit THEM.....they care NOT, one scintilla, about the peasants who repeatedly place their trust in them.....only to be put off....'we can't do it NOW".....the TIME isn't RIGHT"......seriously???????? Exactly WHEN will the TIME be "RIGHT"?????

If the Founders had behaved at these rabid, power hungry creatures do....this great nation would have been born lifeless and breathless and faded into obscurity. Those brave men had bold dreams.....they looked at the existence under Kings, who behaved exactly as today's Senators and Congressmen did. This president has been ALLOWED to play the Dictator....by BOTH parties. They ALL make me SICK!

I have said numerous times that today's political class is ISOLATED and INSULATED from the lives of those they were elected to "REPRESENT".................they REPRESENT only themselves and the lobbyists whose bid is highest.......the only beneficiary being themselves.....NEVER "WE THE PEOPLE"...................

It is heartbreaking to witness the downfall of this greatest experiment in the history of mankind......the land where the promise of Liberty from Tyrannical government and the freedom to pursue their dreams was a reality.

We who contribute to these wonderful sites "GET IT".. but are sharing with like minded folks.

We have called, written, spoken publicly understand the 'STAKES' for which we play......we are few......
