This is the pork-laden sellout trash Grimm voted for at the behest of his crooked RINO boss, Boehner. A must read about the CRomnibus betrayal by GOP leadership. Here are three lessons conservatives should take away from the ordeal: Corporatism is King - Money talks and activists walk. That is the sad lesson from a $1.1 trillion spending bill that included huge payoffs to Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Citibank, and corporations that use taxpayer subsidized loans to invest overseas. Meanwhile, House leaders did nothing to stop President Obamas executive amnesty other than offer up a show vote on a separate piece of legislation that had no chance of even being voted on in the Senate. Republican Leaders Want To Cave On Amnesty - Not only did Republican leaders not even allow a vote on an amendment to defund Obamas amnesty, even though they included plenty of other restrictions on federal spending in the omnibus, but they even included more than a billion in spending on programs to clean up Obamas last amnesty, including $948 million for the Department of Health and Human Services unaccompanied children program and $260 million for the State to Department to spend on Central American countries. Republican Leaders Lie - Not only did Republican leaders lie about Congresss ability to defund the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services office, the agency in charge of implementing Obamas amnesty, but they also lied to Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-IN) in order to get his vote on an early procedural matter, and they falsely claimed that Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Mike Lee (R-UT) empowered Majority Leader. townhall/tipsheet/ConnCarroll/2014/12/15/three-things-we-learned-from-the-cromnibus-n1932140
