[MDC 7,888]

Wow.

 

Back to this lameass schtick?

 

Good for you.

 

Not original enough for you, Sybil Pilot?

Not original enough for you, Sybil Pilot?

No..no.... I love it.

 

It's good for you. Run with it.

[Voltaire 5,491]

Let's get the record straight:

 

RP likes/applauds invasions/occupying/nationbuilding Muslim countries for as long as it takes (ten+ years not nearly long enough)

doesn't like drone strikes

doesn't like blowing up terrorists that haven't filled out paperwork renouncing US citizenship

Thinks cheapo wars we won with zero casualites like Libya and Bosnia were failures

 

Whereas I'm the exact opposite.

 

Is this accurate?

Wrong on all counts.......but other than that you are spot on.

Can you clarify these because I remember you showing the pertinent unequivocal support or condemnation on all these issues.

You made the charges, it's up to you to "clarify" and support them.

[5-Points 3,766]

Holder caught in more lies. This fukkweed needs to go.

RP won this thread

[Voltaire 5,491]

Alright, since you insist, I'll take a stab at it first ... the reason you took all of these stands, or any other stands is easy and predictable. You never give two sh*ts about right or wrong or about what's good or bad for America. You don't even focking know or waste time thinking about that sort of thing. It's amazing, according you you, even blowing up terrorist is bad. Obama does it, so therefor you constantly criticize him for it.

 

The reason you've taken all of these positions is because everything is political to you. What happens with the decisions and the events and the consequences of action or inaction doesn't matter. All that matters is the spin to make it best for the GOP.

 

You knee-jerk supported everything Bush did just like you are also knee-jerk opposing everything Obama does. What's good or bad for America never concern you. All issues/events/reports are filtered into the political prism of what's good for the Republican Party or bad for The Dems and whatever comes out of that gets spun by you to your own ends. Whatever the GOP president does is always good. No matter what that is, no matter how focked up it turns out, there's always a silver lining. Meanwhile, whatever the Dem president does is always bad, no matter how successful, there's always a dark cloud.

 

This is forever where you stand on every issue in every situation in every post you make ever.

I told you that you were wrong on all counts, so explaining why you came to the wrong conclusions doesn't accomplish much.

 

Like I said, you have made a lot of charges about my stance on issues (all of them wrong), so it's on you to prove your charges.........not tell us how you arrived at the wrong conclusion.

 

HTH

It's about time.

 

 

 

House committee schedules contempt vote against Holder

 

 

(CBS News) CBS News has learned the House Oversight Committee will vote next week on whether to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress. It's the fourth time in 30 years that Congress has launched a contempt action against an executive branch member.

 

This time, the dispute stems from Holder failing to turn over documents subpoenaed on October 12, 2011 in the Fast and Furious "gunwalking" investigation.

 

The Justice Department has maintained it has cooperated fully with the congressional investigation, turning over tens of thousands of documents and having Holder testify to Congress on the topic at least eight times.

 

However, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., says the Justice Department has refused to turn over tens of thousands of pages of documents. Those include materials created after Feb. 4, 2011, when the Justice Department wrote a letter to Congress saying no gunwalking had occurred. The Justice Department later retracted the denial.

 

"The Obama Administration has not asserted Executive Privilege or any other valid privilege over these materials and it is unacceptable that the Department of Justice refuses to produce them. These documents pertain to Operation Fast and Furious, the claims of whistleblowers, and why it took the Department nearly a year to retract false denials of reckless tactics," Issa wrote in an announcement of the vote to be released shortly. It will reveal the vote is scheduled for Wednesday, June 20.

 

 

Issa says the Justice Department can still put a stop to the contempt process at any time by turning over the subpoenaed documents.

 

If the House Oversight Committee approves the contempt citation, the matter would likely be scheduled for a full House vote.

 

For several weeks, there has been closed-door discussions and debate among House Republicans as to whether to move forward with contempt. Some have expressed concern that it could distract from the Republican's focus on the economy in this election year.

 

Led by Republicans Senator Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, and Issa, Congress' investigation into Fast and Furious is now in its second year. In the ATF operation, agents allowed thousands of weapons to "walk" into the hands of Mexican drug cartels in the hope it would somehow help ATF take down a major cartel. Some of the weapons were used in the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry at the hands of illegal immigrants crossing into Arizona. Mexican press reports say hundreds of Mexicans have died at the hands of the trafficked weapons. The story was exposed nationally for the first time by CBS News in February 2011.

 

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have called the Republicans' move to find Holder in contempt a politically-motivated "witch hunt."

 

In 1983, Congress found EPA administrator Anne Gorsuch Burford in contempt for failing to produce subpoenaed documents.

 

In 1998, the GOP-controlled House Oversight committee found Attorney General Janet Reno in contempt for failing to comply with a subpoena on campaign finance law violations.

 

In 2008, the Democratic-led House Oversight Committee found former White House counsel Harriet Miers and Chief of Staff John Bolton in contempt for failing to cooperate with an inquiry into whether a purge of federal prosecutors by the Bush administration was politically motivated.

 

Congress went to federal court to seek enforcement of that contempt action, but a compromise was reached with the Executive Branch before any court decision was final.
