It shouldn’t be long before we are reminiscing over the good old days when John Boehner was Speaker of the House and amnesty for illegal aliens couldn’t get past House Republicans:
“WASHINGTON — Representative Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin was elected the 54th speaker of the House on Thursday, taking the gavel that he never sought to wield from John A. Boehner, who gave it up under fire.
Mr. Ryan received a comfortable margin of victory that included several of the hard-line conservatives who had worked to oust Mr. Boehner. In his address to Congress after the vote, he implored members who had been fighting so bitterly to find a way to work together. “Let’s be frank: The House is broken,” Mr. Ryan said. “We are not settling scores,” he added. “We are wiping the slate clean.” …”
Now we have one of the Kemp boys, a true believer in open borders, free trade, and supply-side economics, in charge of the House of Representatives. At least he has promised not to pass amnesty until Obama leaves office. A huge victory for us, right?
