The Washington Post: Has the liberal line on the chances of the Immigration reform passing the Republican House, the article notes the following, " ..that House Republicans may kill reform on behalf of a GOP base that can’t accept it. ".
Lets Get Real:
This is a tricky problem for Speaker Boehner, he wants to see a Republican in the White House in 2017, thus the Republican Party needs to get more of the vote from those than consider Immigration a deal breaker, on the other hand in the 2014 Mid Terms he needs the Party base to come OUT to VOTE, those on the right of the Republican Party see the latest reform idea as a blanket amnesty to those in the US in an illegal context. On this issue the Speaker should stand up to his base, its right when looked on as a morel issue, and its right when it comes to the politics, so it is time for Speaker Boehner to show leadership, if the Gipper can do it, then Boehner can take a stand, lets see what matters more to the Speaker, his job or the Republican Party, in this case they are not the same thing folks.
