Nothing illustrates just how corrupt and utterly CRIMINAL the Obama Misadmistration truly is. It is criminal from top to bottom with pause and there is nothing of redeeming value in anything that Braying Jackazz does.
He’ll invoke Executive Privilege? He might as well stand atop his tallest soapbox and shout “I AM GUILTY OF CRIMINAL USE OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT”. Unfortunately, even if he does so the Yellow Journalists in the corrupt American Media will white-wash him clean.
And in the end, nothing will come of this unless the COWARDS in the Republican Party and their RINO allies take action. With Ol’ Weepy Eyes Boehner in charge the worst that will take place is that Obama will get a stern fatherly talking to about killing hundreds on both sides of the border. Then he’ll told to run along and play nice now.
Pathetic. Truly pathetic. In 2010 the Republicans asked for the power to make them lions in Congress and We the People gave it to them. Unfortunately the GOP turned that power over to sheep in Congress and RINO Globalists. The Leftists took one look at the meek and mild sheep and ran roughshod over them in every way.
And WE are paying for it. God help us because Obama sure as he !! wont.
I’ve known since Feb. of 2010 that Obama was involved in this. He’s too much of a micromanager to allow something involving a foreign country go on without his complete knowledge and “go ahead”. There are a few patriotic Congressmen trying to get to the bottom of this, as they know also that the Imposter is dirty, but the RINOS are keeping them in check. We The People need to let those select few, that we are behind them. We may need them when the SHTF and we have to clean out all of the traitors.
Agree! So it will be interesting to see which way the snake strikes now. Even more interesting will be to see in which way Congress will waffle and weasel.
Do I have confidence in Congress? NO.
They have done NOTHING to curb Obama’s criminal over-reach and overt destruction of the Checks and Balances. My own Rep is more interested, he says, in the economic situation. All well and good, but if our Republic suddenly finds its Caesar dictatorially running the show, nothing the House does will have mattered on the economic front.
Congress MUST do its Constitutionally mandated job and stifle Obama’s grab for power. The huge majority of those 900+ Illegal Executive Orders that usurp the power of the other two Branches must be overturned and Obama’s Shadow Government of Czars must be unseated NOW. Not next year, not in 2014 but NOW.
The House is showing a twitch of courage in Issa’s committee citing Holder for contempt. However, I can see Obama simply ignoring it and going on, Executive Privilege and criminal business as usual. Perhaps Holder will turn his legal wrath against Issa and the Congress in general by calling on Obama for a state of emergency then firing Congress.
Can’t happen? Nobody believed that over 40 (?) Czars could ever take the place of our elected Reps or that a serving president would issue over 900 power grabbing EOs either.
In 2010 the American voters sent some of the problems in our Congress packing. Some of those we put in positions that would enable them to start cleaning out the slim and sludge turned coat on us and joined the good old boys.
We can’t do much about them until 2014, but there are many we were unable to rid ourselves of because they were untouchable until 2012. If we continue our cleansing process in 2012 maybe those placed in office in 2010, those that deserted us will get the message and start looking for the hand writing on the wall. If they don’t then we the people can and should make one termers out of them. Send their undesirable a$$es back to the private sector.
The Democrats crucified Scooter Libby who did nothing with no evidence at all and they say Holden is being wrongly vilified? I blame Boehner’s weak speaker-ship and the sooner he’s gone the better!
I am certain that had America had men of equal character to the caliber of those that stood firm on their moral beliefs and integrity at the early beginning of this nation, there would never be such a greedy money hungry and power grabbing idiots in the three branches that we have today. And had we men of this caliber today in the military’s top brass I would expect to see them take control of this government until it was completely turned around from what it is today. All three branches, Executive, legislative and Judicial needed to be cleanse of the godless men who are destroying our government… Any other idiot who thinks that going into debt can improve our economy and anyone that thinks they must pass a bill before they can find out what is in it should be ran out of America and never allowed to return.
Man’s ignorance in thinking he knows all that there is to be known has always amazed me. True wisdom is gained from what we have experienced in life. There is nothing in this life that you can say for a certainty, unless you have seen, or experienced directly or indirectly that which pertains to your statements, beliefs, or faith. In other words, to say you know God dose not exist just because you personally have not experienced a life changing event is nothing less than pure ignorance.
I am sorry that I can’t explain this any clearer than this… I am not a smart man. I just barely graduated from high school. I hated school and now today I am reaping the benefits of that behavior. But in God’s great mercy He has opened my eyes to so many things.. I know (And this is His Promise.) God can do the same for anyone else who seeks Him with all of their heart.
Don’t sell yourself short, watchman, you reason and communicate very well. There are people in High Places in this sorry country who can do neither.
So 17 democrats think he did nothing wrong? Really? they don’t think the First degree Murder of a Boarder Agent isn’t enough to find out what Holder knew and when he knew it. Sure Glad my Senator isn’t on that panel.
Seventeen demo’s vote hold the party machine line to a standard higher than that of killing of a Border Patrol Agent. Great ! And I’m sure all will go home and have a good nights sleep. I don’t want to hear any ‘spin’ that there is another reason they voted this way…… the bottom line is that they think it’s okay to kill Americans. May they all rot in hell. My opinion.
To the cowards that voted no. We The People curse you. Traitors. Scum.
And not only do we “curse you” but when your Imposter in the WH declares martial law this fall and the SHTF, you all will be well taken care of, along with the thugs that currently have put us in this situation. America will be vindicated!
17 people in Congress just showed their disdain for American Law and Order and think that the murder of two Americans and countless innocent Mexicans if just fine! Pathetic!
The question is…Will Holder suffer any punishment in this matter, or will he get the soft glove treatment of being issued a letter of rebuke in lieu of actuall jail time? If Holder isn’t sent to prison, then this whole matter is just a Dog and Pony Show amounting to nothing of substance.
Indeed. They all have blood on their hands, but nothing will come of it.
Gee, that wasn’t a partisan vote at all, was it; everyone was thinking for themselves, right?
I’m proud of Daryl and all the Repubs who voted ‘AYE’; despite the weak-sister RINOs such as Boehner, they did the right thing. The Demos are reprehensible scoundrels and accessories to mass murder. Luckily there is a higher law than man’s.
Now let us see if the rest of the house has any balls at all and willing to back this committee up. If they don’t they just need to go home with their tails between their legs.
And Elijah Cummings is the worst because he made the statement he wanted the truth no matter how high up it went or where it went. I guess he only meant if his precious Eric Holder and Obama was not invovlved, but now we both know they were.
