John Boehner is trying to pass a $1 trillion spending bill before conservatives can read it

John Boehner is on one hell of a roll: First, it appears as if he tricked the conservatives in the House to vote for a bill which actually gives the President the legal standing with the Congress to grant Executive amnesty and now it appears as if he is trying to pass the $1 trillion “cromnibus” spending bill before anyone can read it. In case you have not heard the term “cromnibus” before it is a combination of a Continuing Resolution and an omnibus spending bill, and he claims it is a compromise designed to appease conservatives who want to fight Barack Obama’s Executive amnesty.

Here is more on John Boehner’s attempt at pulling a Nancy Pelosi on the spending bill:

House conservatives are griping that Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) is putting the squeeze on them by rushing through a $1 trillion spending bill in Congress’s last week in session. Appropriators are expected to roll out the legislation early next week, giving critics scant time to figure out what’s inside before they cast their votes by the end of the week. The government would shut down on Dec. 12 without a new funding bill. “Here we are doing the appropriations bill the last couple days” before a government shutdown, conservative Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-Kansas) said in an interview this week. “That’s not to squeeze Harry Reid. That’s to squeeze us.” Boehner critics say there’s no reason the Speaker couldn’t have brought the spending package to the floor this past week, giving the House more time to consider it. But doing so would also give more time for the right to build a case against it. “They don’t want you to read it, that’s why! You think they want you to analyze all the mischievous items in there?” Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.) told The Hill.

But Representative Walter Jones did not stop there:

Asked if the timing of the plan was aimed at jamming the Senate or House conservatives, Jones replied: “I think its aimed at screwing over the American people. You can quote me on that.”

Forgive me if I am wrong but did not the Republicans, in their Pledge to America in 2010, promise that all bills would be posted online for three days before a vote was taken? I thought so, so what happened?

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, the Republicans are now in power and they have the same goal as the Democrats–staying in, and expanding, their power–that is all they really care about, and to do this they have to play us against each other for their own benefit. (Hegelian Dialectic anyone?)

John Boehner is simultaneously trying to “squeeze” the conservatives while working with the likes of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Steny Hoyer and lest you forget he has already punished conservatives in his caucus for not falling in line with his big government statist agenda.
