We’re speechless.
No, we’re not, Julie. We just don’t want to give the site an “X” rating.
Brace yourselves! Obama’s victory last night, along with Boehner’s capitulation, has given the Dictator-in-Chief new momentum! Fasten your seat belts – he’s on a rampage!
Obama to go ‘quickly’ for immigration and gun control this month.
The Huffington Post quotes a Democratic aide who believes “Good news for immigration advocates may have come Tuesday night, when Boehner broke the so-called ‘Hastert Rule’ and allowed the fiscal cliff bill to come for a vote without support from a majority of his Republican conference. Given opposition to immigration reform by many Tea Party Republicans, the proof that Boehner is willing to bypass them on major legislation is a good sign.”

I don’t think anyone capitulated–it was just a stopgap, artificial “victory”–you’ll see….this is one battle of a four-yr war.
