Conservatives revolt against Boehner on immigration

“We have to man the watchtowers 24/7,” said Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), referring to a feeling among hard-liners that House leaders will try to sneak through immigration measures.

I've said for years that both parties actually play to lose. It's far better politics to nip at the heals from behind than it is to LEAD. GOPe understands that as they were punished in 2006, democrats are about to be punished just the same. If that party is given control of the Senate - especially 60 votes, to go along with the House majority, they KNOW they will be expected to actually LEAD. The age old excuse "their obstructing" won't fly and it scares the crap out of every member of the Old Guard.

Amnesty is viewed as a way to keep (and even increase) division and set up decades more of the status quo. Better watch them indeed!

Enough is enough.
