Boehner: Amnesty 2014 Or Bust

I'll just leave this here without further comment.

Speaker John Boehner and other senior House Republicans are telling donors and industry groups that they aim to pass immigration legislation this year, despite the reluctance of many Republicans to tackle the divisive issue before the November elections. Many lawmakers and activists have assumed the issue was off the table in an election year. But Mr. Boehner said at a Las Vegas fundraiser last month he was "hellbent on getting this done this year," according to two people in the room.

Added: Senator who partnered with Democrats to pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill that Obama would sign in a heartbeat, fumbles and flips around on amnesty some more.

�I think this administration has probably reached the point of irreconcilable differences with regards to trust, particularly among Republicans,� Rubio explained during a conversation at a Texas Tribune event on Tuesday. ... �There is a true distaste--and rightfully so--for comprehensive pieces of legislation,� he said. Rubio explained that he believed that immigration would always have to be addressed in a sequential process. �It doesn�t happen all at once, but I think it�s a lot better than continuing to go in circles here, and this all-or-nothing approach that for 14 years has led to nothing.�

So....we're just supposed to forget that less than a year ago he was the GOP poster-boy for what he's now saying is bad policy?

Rubio should stick to giving speeches about how much he loves America. He's very good at that. He's not quite as good at actual politics.

As Churchill once said about returning to the Conservative Party after abandoning it for the Liberal Party, "Anyone can rat, but it takes a certain amount of ingenuity to re-rat.". Rubio, who has gone from amnesty opponent to supporter and is now trying to get back to opponent, does not have Churchill's level of ingenuity.
