Yes its travesty of the misuse of political power by the Teapublicans! But they will try every trick in the book. They wrote the book!
If it happens, it will be and embarrassment for the republican party.
The Republican Party is already a national embarrassment, this will not be any different. Every time they pull a stunt like this it's just confirmation that Democratic Americans need to get ALL their like-minded friends out to the polls in November.
People already make fun of KKKooky KKKalifornians like Issa and a contempt vote would just seal the deal.
Yes...
Fortune Magazine article - The Truth Behind the Fast and Furious Scandal
The truth about the Fast and Furious scandal
June 27, 2012: 5:00 AM ET
"Republican senators are whipping up the country into a psychotic frenzy with these reports that are patently false," says Linda Wallace, a special agent with the Internal Revenue Service's criminal investigation unit who was assigned to the Fast and Furious team (and recently retired from the IRS). A self-described gun-rights supporter, Wallace has not been criticized by Issa's committee.
I so hope these sorry bozos get there butts handed to them! Eric Holder is no fool and he should sue them for slander ! I am so sick of the Republican Party they continue to be about anything but the American people ! They would do anything but what they should be doing !
Yes T M. Republicans are nothing but shameful to this country. Darell, Darell, and another Darrell has no basis for this contemp charge, but they are taking out on Artty.Gen. for stopping voter blocking fraud! I hope that Issa's voters vote him out!
What is a travesty is the black congressis making this a racial issue. Puke. If there is no problem them show share the docs. Seems simple. Guilty. Face it
you are absolutely right!!!! it is a witch hunt!!!!
For sure, it will be a great embarrassment for the Nation.
check this out: 10 Things You Would Miss About Obamacare
1) Access to health insurance for 30 million Americans and lower premiums. More than 30 million uninsured Americans will find coverage under the law. Middle-class families who buy health care coverage through the exchanges will be eligible for refundable and advanceable premium credits and cost-sharing subsidies to ensure that the coverage they have is affordable.
2) The ability of businesses and individuals to purchase comprehensive coverage from a regulated marketplace. The law creates new marketplaces for individuals and small businesses to compare and purchase comprehensive coverage. Insurers will have to meet quality measures to ensure that Americans can access comprehensive coverage when they need it.
3) Insurers’ inability to discriminate against people with pre-existing conditions. Beginning in 2014, insurers can no longer deny insurance to families or individuals with pre-existing conditions. Insurers are also prohibited from placing lifetime limits on the dollar value of coverage and rescinding insurers except in cases of fraud. Insurers are already prohibited from discriminating against children with pre-existing conditions.
4) Tax credits for small businesses that offer insurance. Small employers that purchase health insurance for employees are already receiving tax credits to encourage them to continue providing coverage.
5) Assistance for businesses that provide health benefits to early retirees.The law created a temporary reinsurance program for employers providing health insurance coverage to retirees over age 55 who are not eligible for Medicare, reimbursing employers or insurers for 80% of retiree claims. The program has offered at least $4.73 billion in reinsurance payments to more than 2,800 employers and other sponsors of retiree plans, with an average cumulative reimbursement per plan sponsor of approximately $189,700.
6) Affordable health care for lower-income Americans. Obamacare extends Medicaid to individuals with incomes up to 138% of the federal poverty line, guaranteeing that the nation’ most vulnerable population has access to affordable, comprehensive coverage.
7) Investments in women’s health. Obamacare prohibits insurers from charging women substantially more than men and requires insurers to offer preventive services — including contraception — at no additional cost.
8) Young adults’ ability to stay on their parents’ health care plans. More than 3.1 million young people have already benefited from dependent coverage, which allows children up to age 26 to remain insured on their parents’ plans.
9) Discounts for seniors on brand-name drugs. Pharmaceutical manufacturers are required to provide a 50% discount on prescriptions filled in the Medicare Part D coverage gap. Seniors have already saved $3.5 billion on prescription drug costs thanks to the Affordable Care Act provision.
10) Temporary coverage for the sickest Americans. The law established temporary national high-risk pools that are providing health coverage to individuals with pre-existing medical conditions who cannot find insurance on the individual market. In 2014, they will be able to enroll in insurance through the exchanges. 67,482 individuals have already benefited from the program.

TYPICAL Republican Horse -SH!T = Create A Problem And Then = BLAME Someone ELSE === RIDICULOUS !!!! S-O-CRAP !!! They Just Do Not Have Enuff "Dignity" To Fess-Up To Their Own CRAP !!!!!!!!
it IS a racial issue!!!!
Attorney General have released more than 7K documents to Republican hearing communities; however, they're still saying it's not enough. Thus, I have 3 questions:
1. Fast & Furious was founded by W. Bush, however, there is no one from the Bush administration has called to testify with the house communities hearing?
2. Why is the NRA involved in this Fast & Furious issue? Is this about selling more guns?
3. Why was Republican Sen. John Cornyn from Texas said that he contempt Mr. Eric Holder because Mr. Holder proceeding to stop voter purge in various states like in Florida? How is voter purge in FL has to do with Fast & Furious issue?
By the way, here are bills that GOP had passed in congress in the last 4 years, but there are not bill to bring American people back to work. Take a look GOP rule of Distractions:
30 bills to dismantle the healthcare law
29 bills restricting reproductive rights
4 votes on light bulbs
How about passing the President Obama job bill to produce 1-2 million jobs for teachers, police officers, firefighters, construction workers--to fix our aging infrastructure?
President Bush invoked executive privilege in the following cases:
1) Todeny details about the FBI's misuse of organized crime informants.
2) To protect the secrecy of Dick Cheney's meetings with energy executives.
3) To keep Harriet Miers from testifying in the U.S. Attorney firing
scandal.
4) To keep Sara Taylor from testifying in the same inquiry.
5) To keep Karl Rove from testifying in the same inquiry.
6) To protect documents in an inquiry related to the death of Pat Tillman.
Oh my ! How was President Obama’s executive privilege compare to W. Bush list above?
suzie: I agree its BLACK & WHITE!
Kathe: It would make for a much better economy and employers wouldn't ever need to worry about an employee getting hired with an underlying health condition.
Dont - Be A Deeek - Your Whole Life - GOMER !!!! Perhaps - Some-day You Will WAKE-UP !!! - I Doubt It !!!!!! Some Beings Are Just Simply LOST-Forever !!!!!
I feel the Republicans should all be voted out . And start all over again with people that understand our needs. Congress has always gotten away with evrything they say and do. they make the laws, and if someone uncovers that there law is bad , they will make an other law on top of the first law.and if that law is uncovered they will put another law amendment to cover that law. SO CONGRESS is a one way REPUBLICAN PARTY . there way or the highway. WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO VOTE THEM OUT . THEY HAVE SHOWN THERE TRUE COLORS . THEY ARE NOT IN CONGRESS OR OFFICE TO HELP US . THEY ARE THERE TO KEEP US IN POVERTY. THEY DO NOT WANT TO SEE US GET GOOD PAYING JOBS, SO WE CAN AFFORD TO RAISE OUR CHILDREN, AND GIVE THEM HOPES OF LIVING A GOOD LIFE, SO THEY CAN LEAVE THERE CHILDREN SOMETHING GOOD TO LOOK FORWARD TOOOO. LETS DO OUR JOB, GO OUT AND VOTE. WHAT THEY ARE DOING TOMORROW JUST PROVES WHAT I SAY.DONT LET THEM GET THERE WAY.
Cosmo. Ever heard of Federal Law? If Holder released the documents Isaa had demanded he would be in violation of Federal Law. Issa knew this when he demanded them. Boehner knew it when he demanded them from the President. Get your head out of the sand and do some research.
Not. He was making a point. Sorry you didn't like it. I'll believe your phoney outrage when you call out every GOPer that do that and worse on the House floor. But won't be holding my breath for that.
Hi MD and friends. The Deeks can't help themselves. They are all too self important.
Hey Brothers - A-B and Larry - Hope ALL Is Well With You !!!!! These GOMERS Sure Are Something == WRONG -- hey !!!!! Just Crazy !!!! NO Common Sense = hey !!! JUST CRAZY !!!!
The republicants are an embarrassment. And so are the democrats that plan to vote with them to avoid a mark from the NRA.
@larry74,
Ditto (click here).
Attempting to imprison Holder for obeying the constitution is an act of treason.
@TMom and David H
The Repugs/TEApugs are a National embarrassment, the problem is that only the Democrats and some Independents are embarrassed about them. Once again... the Repugs/TEApugs give America a black eye and make us the laughing stock to the rest of the world... by making a mockery of our democracy. Of course, they fail to recognize they are the cause of the lowering of our reputation, as they fail to recognize the facts about anything.
The Repugs/TEApugs don't get embarrassed themselves about any of the looney, idiotic things they do or say. In fact, when they are openly caught in a lie or hypocrisy, they simply deny it, double down on it and find some way to put the blame on Obama. Because they know that their brain-dead supporters will continue believing their lies, fear-mongering and conspiracy theories no matter what.
They are absolutely shameless and the only way they might start to learn a lesson about their wrong doing is to be held accountable for their actions, by having charges brought against those among them who are breaking laws and over reaching in their actions. Charges based on actual facts, rather than the false charges they bring again and again against Democratic officials.
When Democrats take back the House in November, and as soon as Nancy Pelosi is sworn in, I hope she starts bringing charges against all Repugs who have been disregarding citizens rights and the laws of the land... including forcing the biased GOP Supreme court Justices who have been meeting with and taking bribes from the Koch brothers, etc. then making judgements in their favor to take heat for their bad judgements and even forcing them from the bench. It can be done if enough pressure is put on them and we must do that... their biased judgements to sell the country to the corporations has gone on long enough.
The Repugs forced a Democratic Justice off the Supreme Court bench over a decade ago for far less suspicious behavior than Alito's and Thomas' questionable contact with the Kochs. Not to mention that Thomas should have been forced to recuse himself from the ACA case and should never had had anything to do with it due to his wife's activities against it. After all, Justice Kagan recused herself from the Arizona case I think because of previous involvement in it.
There is one important difference Nixon and his top advisors were directly involved in the break in at the Watergate hotel and subsequently tried to cover up that involvement.
In the case of Fast and Furious there is no evidence that Obama and his top advisors were involved in the planning and operation of the Fast and furious program, nor is thier any evidence that the Obama administration was involved in any subsequent cover up.
By the time congress asked for the tapes there was sufficient reason to suspect the involvement and coverup went all the way to the top.
In the case of fast and furious there is no reason to suspect white house involvment (unless one counts crack pot right wing conspiracy theories.)
You're the one in a fantasy world. Thinking Watergate was no big deal demonstrates your ignorance and the Republican penchant for downplaying their own party's crimes while trying to focus on the minutiae of Democrat behavior.
It also shows how you people are desperate to distance yourselves from Watergate.
Hint: It won't happen by continually bringing it up.
@TheRealChris
Hey henry is a troll. He'll be on the sight tomorrow night 'spiking the ball' because this is all just a game to them. They'll be laughing until after they get hurt by legislation they cannot change because the republcants are in charge.
You original premise is was that this "fast and Furious" investigation is somehow comparable to the Watergate scandal. The evidence in no way leads to that conclusion.
Now why insist in executive privledge? Why not simply release the documents? I can't answer that, as I am not part of the Obama administration. But, the assertion of executive privledge does not constitute reasonable suspicion of wrong doing.
Read my above rep;y for those of you that don't care to find things out before making a fool of yourselves. It would be illegal. Is that simple enough.
@Ethelouise
I agree... any Dems that vote with the Repugs for the contempt vote should be drummed out of the party as traitors.
If they don't have the guts to stand up to the Yahoos at the NRA for what is right and vote NO... the least they could do is simply vote Present rather than giving the Repugs the chance to say "IT WAS A BI-PARTISAN VOTE".
Darrell Issa days in Congress are numbered... we in California are ashamed this absurd self-serving excuse for a Congressman. The idiots in his district who voted for him should be ashamed also.
@suzie and xxx ooo
That's right.... it is a racial issue, but it's also a partisan issue. The Repugs have decided to defeat President Obama, to obstruct and block any legislation they can which would help the country... because the President is a Democrat.
But they've doubled down on their obstruction, even voting against their own ideas... like the Mandate and the Dream Act... which were both Repug ideas originally... because the President is black. And they refuse to let him have the credit for anything.
Since they haven't been able to find anything illegal to pin on President Obama to bring impeachment charges against him directly, they are doing it in a round about way by charging his AG with contempt. Along with the fact that AG Holder is interfering with their voter suppression tactics and they don't like that.
They realize that preventing minorities, the young and the elderly are their only hope of winning the next presidential election since Robme is such a obvious representative of corporate interests and the 1%. They also have to be worried about loosing seats in the House and Senate, since the Yahoos TEAbags in the Congress have made such asses out of themselves.
@Kelly
Great posts and great info... thanks for that. I'm saving them in my file for my fight against the wacko right.
@larry and Crackhead
I agree.... the Repugs are demanding Holder hand over documents that he legally can't hand over or allow to be made public, in a public hearing. And the Repugs know that he can't legally hand them over. Holder has even told them so and offered to meet with them in private I believe.
In fact, if he did make these documents public... they would probably charge him for doing so. They have tried to lay a trap.. which hasn't been successful. So now they are acting like spoiled children that haven't gotten their way.. that is what the contempt vote is all about.
I also agree that the Repugs involved should be charged with Treason for this. But so should the majority of Repugs in the Senate and Congress who have been fighting and obstructing the President's policies for the past 4 years. They have purposely been standing in the way of the country's recovery... and that is not what they were sent to Washington to do or what they agreed to do when they took their oaths of office.
Turtleman McConnell, John Bonehead, Eric Can'tor, Darrell Issa and many more should be put in chains and tossed in the stockade for out and out lying to the American public and blockage of all policies that would help the country recover and aid the citizens... and breaking their oaths of office. I certainly hope the people in their districts back home will finally get their heads out of their asses and pay attention to the damage these idiots are doing to the country and VOTE THEM OUT OF OFFICE!
Yes. It will clearly show that racisim is what repubs are showing in America. They want President Obama to be one time president. They are after another African-American Mr.Holder. They have no plans to address the country's needs, only they are obstructing everything what Democrats are trying to do
yes is it coinsitent that both are african american !!! the rhepicrites do not care if america goes down !!! as long as pres obama gets - no credit !!!!!! the repulsicons have already said that if obama gets re-elcted , they will go for impeachment !!!! on nothing with no evidence !!!!! issa says " i have no evidence obama or whitehouse was involved !!!!!!!! " if it were real , then the originators ( bush ) should be called in for their part !!!!!!!!
i am waiting for one video showing that dems are against the nra !!!! we99% dems have not said anything about guns in 10 years !!!! the most said is we99% want to know - who has the gun !!! occupy the vote !!! straight dem ticket !!!! both houses !!! all for 1 country - the usa !!!!
Just more GOP lies to the citizens of the USA. Whatever it
takes to stop the corruption of GOP that is like for like actions. We are past
being civil and past trying to deal with unethical immoral scumbags like the
leader and Willard of the GOP.
These people are the dung of the earth and how they ever
were allowed to raise this far in the republic give paused to consider treason
and punishment as is the law of the country. Hang them in the public square to
remind them that treason is not going to be accepted even by the more liberal
minded people of the USA.

Everything the Republicans do is an embarrassment. They've turned America into a laughing stock.
Even if it is racist or not......it is still the repulican vendetta and Mafia thinking.
It has been nothing but a republican tactic to distract form idiot romney so we will bee too busy thinking about something else and we will not notice how romeny is making a fool of himself.
How could anybody not notice Romney making a fool of himself? It's a daily performance.
I think what they are trying to do is make Obama look criminal to influence their deluded followers, and to distract from the fact that after two years in charge of Congress, they haven't created a single job.
And it's nice to take a break from redundant abortion bills, that also don't create jobs.
I love this, yesterday's The Daily Show "The Wrath of Cons"
That's good.
John is so astute in a fun way. "Watergate, bay of piggs, Monica"......but this will end up to be the republicans exposing their butts. Do you think Issa and Bodhner will go down the same way as Newt......I hope so. Fake noise just blows this up in hudge porportions.(:-)
T M Just spell Darrell's last name backwards, it says "ASS I". Just like he is backwards. I believe power has gone through his head! Republicans are nothing but conspiracy mongers.
The Republican Party is a disease in this country and must be eradicated. They have no respect for the rule of law, they will not compromise on anything and their long term goal seems to be the destruction of democracy. In my opinion the current radical right wing GOP is the worst thing that has ever come along in the history of America. When the Republican Party of Texas starts making proposals like the repeal of the voting rights act and the elimination of the department of education the true colors of these people really show though. They hate social equality and want the country run by rich, white, evangelicals with everyone else serving them as the UNDERCLASS.
The Republican crime family continues its attempt to steal power.
Issa openly admitted that he has no information that would indicate Holder failed to do anything congress legally asked him to do.
Issa openly admitted that he has no information that would indicate Holder broke the law (or anybody else for that matter).
The only thing Holder/Obama held back are the wiretaps that have information that would allow criminals to hunt/kill agents and informants.
This information was held back because all the other classified information has obviously been leaked to the press, so there is no question criminals would have everything Holder gave Issa within a few weeks.
If he goes through with this, it will certainly be a miss carriage of justice. But we have seen a lot of that lately.
Wiretap release to congress would violate the fourth amendment of any non-criminal communication not subject to public release, so Darrel Issa is attempting to violate the fourth amendment.
Issa would render congress subject to a direct violation of the constitution if any wiretap information is leaked to the press.
Federal law requires wiretap information and transcripts to remain under the control of the original judge that ordered the wiretap for this reason.
Criminal communication should not be released to the press because this obviously compromises any future criminal investigations by tipping off the criminals.
Isa is like a mad dog with a bone and he won't let go! He has nothing and they are spending there time on anything but working to get jobs.
The NRA holding guns to democrats to vote tomorrow. They most of all have no damn business in this ! I believe we are seeing a party show how treasonous they are so when are they going to be charged ?
C.A. Sounds just like what they have been pushing to do to us all. Heaven help us if the Fascist gain power!
The NRA ! Selling a bogus lie in 4 damn years has OBAMA took any ones guns HELL NO! If people buy there lies we are in deep dodo!
Holder has conflicting statements. Recalled his BS. And now has to explain and you all think he is being targeted. What happened to transparency. Jez - Get with it
XXX OOO,Again all they are preaching is there doctrine to come. They will control us and they the Republicans will take our fire arms. What ever they preach always! always believe the opposite. They are so bold and brazen that they do not even hide there agenda! I ask how radical is too radical ? Will anyone have the guts to charge them for treason?
Pam: guess we will need to march to Washington...God that's a long way from here!
WE99% should have CHARGED with TREASON the REPUSICONS WHO SIGNED and OATH TO NORQUIST / NOT AMERICA or WE99% !!! WHO THEN SIGNED an OATH with the PEE PARTY / NOT WE99% !!!! Who said JOBS DAY 1 - BUT DID NOT do ANYTHING about JOBS !!!! EVEN SAYING NO to the DREAM ACT !!!!! Even their DRUGGIE MOUTHPIECE on the RADIO says this is TRUE !!!! OCCUPY the VOTE !!! BOTH HOUSES and PRES OBAMA !!!! Or WE99% are in TROUBLE !!!!!!!!
@KKKozmo KKKlutz;
Republicans are going to commit an act of treason tomorrow by attempting to imprison an African American for obeying US law and the constitution because he can't release wiretap information requested by congress without violating both.
Treason definition:
Article 1 section 8 of the US constitution does not authorize congress the power to coerce the executive branch. Any power not mentioned in article 1 section 8 is prohibited. That means the contempt charge violates the constitution.
One of the reasons that executive privilege exists is so that the identity and home address of law enforcement officials can be kept secret so that the criminals can't hunt them down and kill them.
It is illegal to release wiretap information, depositions, and investigation transcripts because this violates the National Security Act of 1947 and other federal laws.
Releasing wiretaps and transcripts would give aid to enemies involving the war on drugs and terrorists by allowing criminals to gain the true identity of law enforcement officials - the constitutional definition of treason.
Contempt of Congress definition:
Holder provided congress with over 7,600 pages of documents and has made numerous high-level officials available for public congressional testimony, transcribed interviews, and briefings.
DoJ stopped disclosures stopped because sensitive national security information contained in prior disclosures were disclosed to the press.
So US Code 18 Chapter 119 Section 2510 is as follows.
So Holder did not commit any contempt offense, and it is clear that Holder is obeying US law established by congress.
Holder would actually be violating multiple provisions of the constitution and US law if he obeyed Darrel Issa.
XXX OOO , Lord how crazy will this election get. The aliens are the Republican party ! Its why there so wacko! LOL.
Get this straight. HE DID NOT BREAK ANY LAWS. It is all a REPUBLICAN LIE.
Crackhead Awards
cosmo and henry are trolls probably the same person started at the exact same time.
xxx. DC is much farther from here.
Hi Pam! Speaking of the opposite....
I was on a Huffington Post site today and read the following answer from a "conservative" to a person who is against Obama and not for Romney:
Just replace the words refering to Democrats with "right-wing trolls" and the response it truthful. They take what Dems say from Liberal blogs such as this one and mirror it to fence fence sitters. They aren't saying they don't support this crap they posted, they're saying the Dems do.
Always suspected it but, now I know what they come here to learn..... Wow!!
Sounds like something Willard would do. Anything to win an election for a trophy and for his church. No class. No honor. No patriotism either.
Larry Washington (St.) is closer! Ha ha ha

TOYBB: I'm against the guys in the black hats! "The Teatards"!!!
OBAMA BIDEN 2012! CLINTON WARREN 2016!!!
That's right David H,
The republicans are a national embarrassment, like the republicans on the supreme court. Oh wait! That's right, the supreme court is non partisan.
I imagine much of the world wonders why the republicans are so bent on destroying American democracy.
#6.1 forehey, I know I am! It's crazy!
yes it will if it goes through, although i truly believe this will bacfire on the repukes. especially after hearing issa say on fake news there was no evidence of a whitehouse cover up.
Yes, it is a disgrace, something I hope that brood of vipers will regret for the rest of their lives.
I hope this will backfire on the gop and will continue for decades to come. Maybe then they will clean up their act.
Only way it will backfire on the Republicans, is IF every registered voter actually exercises their right and does vote, either by absentee or in person. Republicans are praying that 60% of the eligible voters will stay home. I wonder if California voters will refuse to mark the box next to Issa's name? I hope so.
People who live in California already hate Issa due to the fact that he actually financially sponsered the recall of Gov Grey Davis because he wanted to be gov of the state of California. He managed to recall Davis for no apparent reason at all and in the recall Davis could not even put his name on the ballot unlike Scott Walker in Wisconsin. He allowed Schzenegger to become gov. So issa's name is mud in the state of California...
Yes it will: For republicans afer the Fortune expose'.
Maybe Issa will want to move the next meeting to Salem!
Absolutely xxx ooo- he'll be right at home... lookin' like the original Barnabas Collins from Dark Shadows. Look at their pictures-it's downright scary
Indeed! Dark & Shadowy!
I hope that this will turn out to be an embarrassment for Issa and his witch hunting friends, but then again, nothing seems to shame the repukes.
witch-hunt
n.
1. An investigation carried out ostensibly to uncover subversive activities but actually used to harass and undermine those with differing views.
2. (Government, Politics & Diplomacy) a rigorous campaign to round up or expose dissenters on the pretext of safeguarding the welfare of the public
yes joca i agree and i also read that fortune report,quite interesting reading.
e
I don't the democrats are going to have to do anything to Issa, the Teapublicans will make him the scapegoat. Tar and feathers optional!
I would expect Bonehead to then say, "I'm glad this is over! All we wanted to know was the truth!"
xxx, No Boehner will say "I'm glad that's over, now we can return to creating jobs". lol
So how is he going to accept the truth? He has to make himself look innocent for wasting all this time.
Larry: LOL!!! So much true it hurts!!!
Two bill Obama wanted passed BOTH houses today Student Loans & Highway Bill! You know why...pressure plain and simple!
LARRY 74, You sure pegged Boner right! He all ways back pedals when he gets his ass handed to him. Lord a mercy i hate Ohio has to claim him.
To paraphrase Jack Nicholson...
"BOEHNER CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!"
To accept the truth, Boehner would have to admit the Republicans/TEA Party have been wrong about something... Admitting that would destroy his future in the party...
Do not believe in dogma in stone and dust
From men who lived and loved in ancient lands.
Do not believe what others claim you must,
For thus you leave your future in their hands.
Do not believe in gurus or the Church,
For their beliefs are based on guilt and greed.
The mirror of your mind, you alone must search,
For you alone can shape the life you lead.
Observe, deduce and ponder what is True,
For Truth consists of that which we conceive.
Awareness comes from what is True for you,
And we can each achieve what we believe.
If your Truth can advance the paths of Man,
Then follow it and live the best you can.
Hi David !!
There's another truth that Boehner can't handle. He's powerless over alcohol.
Let's not forget to give a shout
out to--- I mean AT --- the NRA for deciding to score this vote - thus pressuring Democrats in some districts to vote for it.Let's also not forget to give a shout
out to--- I mean AT --- any Democrat that gives in to the NRA pressure and votes for this nonsense!!All Blue Dog Democratic that vote for this impeachment should be voted out of AMERICA. AMERICA VOTE THEM OUT. ALSO N. R. A.
@black
I actually respectfully disagree. They and the NRA are still Americans.
We still have to live with them.
**sigh***
Like everything the GOP has done during this presidency. A big embarrassment and waste of time and money for tax payers.
The gun laws in Arizona are by far the biggest reason this was all allowed to happen. No one is getting on this state about it. The NRA is by far behind all of this period.
Most people ignore the following.
Arizona is the #1 state where Mexican drug cartels get their firearms.
Handguns and assault weapons are against the law in Mexico. They used to have the same constitutional firearms protection we had in the US, but vendettas from the Mexican revolution skyrocketed the murder rate so hight that the only way to get things under control was to outlaw firearms.
Gun store owners in the US and Canada are supposed to refuse to sell weapons to people that hold no US identification. The NRA doesn't like that because they want to continue to make profit by selling illegal firearms to Mexican citizens.
You don't need ID or background check to purchase firearms in Arizona.
only in arizona
Oh absolutely. This is the nail in the coffin to reasonable minded people ever taking these morons seriously for a long time to come. And bravo to the Congressional Black Caucus for having the balls to show what they think of this idiot move. Maybe it's the Republicans should wear the donkey emblem because they have shown time and time again that they have became a group of jackasses.
Yes this will go down in history as an embarrassment. The GOP is acting like rulers of a third world country.
And what pisses me off more is the few rational Republicans who are left just rationalizing this bull$#@% away as being anything other than extreme politics at its worst as if the Republican Party is still in the realm of normal level headed behavior when it's not. Grow balls and admit that your party has been taken over by extremist idiots.
All of the dems should walk off the house floor along with the black caucus, including those who are saying they will vote with republicans to hold Holder in contempt. We the people should hold republicans and those dems who vote with them to continue this witch hunt, which is led by the NRA. in contempt. They are failing to uphold and defend the constitution, and they all should be indicted on conspiracy charges. All this congress has been doing and still is doing is conspiring to encourage attacks on President Obama and AG Holder, and the American people. All elected officials who feel beholden to their special interest groups over the best interest of the people, should be prosecuted. They lie and cut and take away everything from the people who have worked so hard, not only for our own personal gain, but also for gain for this nation. Shame on all republicans. I could continue on, but my BP says stop!
Jajuan, as it turns out the agents were trying to catch the gun runners, and the NRA, did nothing to stop it. The Arizona gun laws was making it easy for one to buy guns, as many as they wanted and sell them to anyone they wanted. The NRA was selling alot of guns. They were trying to catch the gun buyers and see what they were doing with the guns. Oh My, and that is what it was all about.
Yes the Fortune Magazine article pointed that travesty out. And Henry do you really want to try and go there with that bs given the long racist history of this country?
