House GOP Leaders: We Can Pass Gun Control, Immigration, Without Republican Support

Checked the first two pages, sorry if it's a re-post.

With more and more conservatives in the House rebelling against John Boehner’s increasingly questionable Speakership, Republican House leadership is now moving to quash in-house concerns by reaching across the aisle for support. Leadership is moving in the wake of a surprising move by 16 House Republicans to vote against a Republican leadership-crafted closed rule on a government funding bill. The rule was designed to limit amendments to the government funding bill, but some House conservatives, concerned over the Boehner team’s refusal to consider a floor vote on an amendment to defund Obamacare implementation, bucked Boehner on the rule.

After undergoing that unpleasant shock, House leadership hasn’t responded by listening to the concerns of the more conservative members of its caucus. Instead, House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said on Sunday that he would be open to ramming through bills without the support of a majority of his own Republican caucus. Not just on small bills. On issues like immigration and gun control, McCarthy said, he’d be open to taking rogue Republicans across the aisle to work with Democrats.

Proof the party has been infiltrated and is no longer being run by republicans.

See, they are all the same all they care about is themselves.

Pick your party, the party for big government or the party for bigger government.

That is exactly right. BTW, did you find your menudo?

There's more than two parties. Register as independent. Unfortunately, that's all you can be in Oklahoma if you're not an elephant or an ass.

The only reason I am still registered as a republican is because republicans win most of the elections in Oklahoma (especially where I live) and if I switched to independent I couldn't vote in the most important election, the republican primary. And Oklahoma republicans tend to not be the problem as much as republicans from other states. Even some of the democrats here tend to be more conservative than some republicans from other states.

So, you're registered republican because you want to win and decide which candidate is going to represent the republican party in the primary? I'm just trying to wrap my head around this. If your party shares your core values, that's fine, but if they don't, then you should get out. Until we can break the monopoly of the two party system, not much is going to improve.

Or you can get off your ass and get involved. It ain't gonna change itself!
