Oops,my mistake, it was Mconnel, not Orin hatch that said it is the republicans job to make sure that Obama is a one term Pres.

This is great news but I wish it meant more than it probably does. This will now be given back to the Injustice Department and I think we know how that will turn out.

True Steve. But hope springs eternal

Republicans don’t do anything that isn’t political. This is just business as usual for them. They care NOTHING about the country or the people. As Orin hatch said ” our job is to make surebObama is a one term President”. It doesn’t matter that it is bad for the country. Just put a republican in office that will sign whatever we tell him to sign. In other words a PUPET like Romney.

How is it just politics to want answers to why the DOJ purposefully put 2000 weapons into the hands of Mexican drug cartels resulting in the death of 1, perhaps 2, Americans and over 300 Mexican nationals? Do you really not want to know why such an aboniminable action would take place and who authorized it? Are you for real?
June 28, 2012 at 6:53 pm
Except that isn’t what really happened.
June 28, 2012 at 6:30 pm
Oh, I get it…and Democrats never do anything political and they REALLY care about the people. WHATEVER! You are SO brainwashed. Instead of believing everything they (mainstream media) tell you why don’t you use your brain and do your OWN research into the truth. The ENTIRE reason for the contempt is in order to get to the TRUTH of the matter which has been blocked for 18 months by Holder and now supported by Executive Privilege. If there is nothing to hide, then why are they not permitting revelation of the truth? If the truth of the matter is acceptable, then there is nothing to hide. That being the case, releasing the communications would only make the controversy go away and would clear the accusations. The ONLY answer is they do have something to hide.
