'WE WILL NOT ENGAGE': MICHELE BACHMANN REVEALS GOP PLANS TO IGNORE EXECUTIVE AMNESTY




by ROBERT WILDE 22 Nov 2014 POST A COMMENT

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn) revealed on Saturday that Republican leadership, led by Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Oh), has no intention of resisting President Obama’s executive amnesty that he ordered on Thursday.

Breitbart News Executive Chairman Steven K. Bannon asked the congresswoman, who was a guest on Breitbart News Saturday Sirius XM Patriot channel 125, “Has there been any firm commitment from the leadership of the Republican party saying that this amnesty is not going to happen?” Bachmann replied with a question, “Do you want the truth? Okay, I’ll tell all of Breitbart listeners what happened this week. I was floored!”

In the weekly meeting called “Republican Conference” in the House of Representatives, “we all knew that the big issue for the week was going to be the president announcing his amnesty,” she explained. Bachmann recounted that all of the leadership went to the microphone, including John Boehner.

“They acted as though the amnesty issue wasn’t even an issue. They said that the President is going to do what he’s going to do, and we are not going to get down in the mud with him. We are not going to engage, and what we are going to do is to talk about our positive solutions on jobs, the economy, education, and manufacturing,” Bachmann said.

She added that each congressman who spoke reiterated that not engaging Obama and staying positive was a “brilliant strategy.”

"We will not engage," she reiterated with disgust.

Bachmann, who was elected to Congress in 2006 and is ending her service this year, is stupefied by the Republican leadership not taking action or having a plan. “While the country is talking about amnesty, and the president is taking unconstitutional actions, our leadership wants to change the subject and not engage,” she said.

Bannon said he was “stunned” that, on the walk-up to a day that is going to go down as “one of the most important days in constitutional history,” there was no pre existing plan or course of action by the GOP. The Congresswoman asserts that Boehner and the leadership “think that the smarter strategy is to not engage.”

Earlier in the broadcast, co-host and Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow said that, after reading Breitbart News’ report on Friday about Republicans flying out of town after Obama’s speech without devising a plan, is evidence that "the Republican establishment doesn't care about Obama passing executive amnesty.”

Marlow mused, “We're having this debate: should there be a lawsuit? Should there be impeachment? Should the government be shut down? What should we be doing?”

Breitbart’s EIC deduced that Republicans don’t have a coherent plan for a reason. “I actually think this is by design. Republicans have wanted comprehensive immigration reform, they wanted cheap labor… they knew this was coming for nine months, and they did absolutely nothing to get the conservative base on the same page. It’s such a colossal failure that I don’t think that it’s possible to fail this badly. All they had to do was pick a plan and rally everyone behind it. They never did it. Now everyone has a different idea of what needs to be done, and they are leaving town without making a decision.”

Bachmann says that her plan is to “frame the debate so that we fight about the president’s unconstitutional power grab on issuing work permits, despite what the president says. It is an illegal action, and he cannot do it. We would win on that fight, and we would win on that argument.”

Breitbart News reported that the Congresswoman is organizing a rally on Wednesday, Dec. 3 at high noon on the western steps of the capitol in Washington, D.C. to fight back against the president. Bachmann is asking for all to come to the capital to show solidarity, as well as urging listeners to “melt the phone lines” of our representatives to defund executive amnesty. The Congress will be in session from Dec. 1-11, so this will be the window during which to call them.

Details on the rally will be forthcoming at Breitbart.

Confirmation of P-WAPS, "party without a plan" soon to have majority of both houses in January! If the of majority of P-WAPS there now cannot sway leadership, how will adding a few more to the House make it improved?
I just heard Lindsey Graham criticize Obama for being a poor leader a few minutes ago (and I agree), but its again the pot calling the kettle black. We have dammed poor leadership in the P_WAP's, too.


One correction we might consider is that if they have a law degree is not vote for them, regardless of party. But, I truly recommend that we destroy the two party system. Either ban parties from congressional elections or create a credible third party.

So what we have is the Republicans' brilliant plan on how to deal with Obamas illegal and immoral amnesty plan is to do nothing, that is to let him do it.

Yes talk about everything else but do not use the "a" word. Patriots, fight, fight! Many Congressmen and a few Senators will accept an appointment to meet with them in person. Especially if somebody creates an ad hoc committee of whatever (pick a name).

Veterans, the American Legion is on record as being opposed to amnesty; you can see it online; it is really quite good.
How about going to your local Legion Post and assembling an ad hoc veterans committee to meet with your Congressman or possibly Senator? You don't need to be a member of the legion to attend a meeting and sell your idea; you only need to be a veteran.

Call the American Legion's national office and tell them to be more active on this travesty and that they should take active measures to stop Obama.

Patriots give the Republicans no peace on this issue, call, call, call! Recruit and motivate others to call.

An after thought, is it possible that the GOP leadership had a closed door meeting with Obama and told him they would not fight an amnesty by him? Is it possible that such a meeting emboldened him to move ahead with his unconstitutional dictate?

If the Republican Party does not fight Obama like hell on his illegal abuse of power than it is time to intentionally destroy the Republican Party. At that point what do patriots have to lose? Either way patriots and America lose.

All patriots need to talk with one voice: "Republican Party, fight amnesty or die." We will bring it down with our own bare hands. Never put somebody into a position where he has nothing to lose because he will have no choice but to fight to the bitter end.

The Battle for America is on! Now is the biggest battle for national sovereignty in all of our history. Patriots do not shirk you duty.

I expect this will become a talking point in the '16 campaign for president. "Obama did it unfairly and illegally. Give us a republican president and we will correct it, make it right." Code talk for watch us amnesty all legislatively. Than we will be right with our corporate contributors.

The GOP-French raise the white flag again, the GOP hierarchy who works for the Chamber of Commerce wants open borders, cheap labor and bodies to purchase made in China junk, my grandchildren do not have much of a future under this system.
