I’ve been saying -

let these guys pass with ONLY dhimmiRat support,
so the dims have NO COVER when they show their true colors.

They only get one chance to confiscate.

After that, the “remainders” won’t be caught by surprise.

Obama got to watch Janet Reno illustrate how to handle accusations against a Democratic President.

How soon after Holder is confirmed before he appoints Vincent Bugliosi as special prosecutor to see if Bush committed any war crimes?

Count me in. It looks like the “moderates” (Dem-Lites, RINOs, Country Clubbers) have won out. It’s time to reluctantly abandon the Republican Party.

You may have missed the part where Bogliosi demonstrates that he is clearly mentally ill.

I doubt he can maintain coherency more than 5 minutes. Eric would be driven to distraction by that sort of thing and would probably pull out his pistol and shoot the man on the spot to avoid further annoyance

Holder is a political hack from Janet Reno’s chamber of horrors. Republicans should vote no.

There goes our guns and our rights to self defense.

No. The people who occupy the offices of Our Government have no power to take our rights from us, and no ability to deny them except insofar as we allow them to. I will never allow them to.

2 republicans voted against?

The GOP exists only to add insult to injury.

There is no resistance....watch - almost all current R’s will be re-elected in 2010....unless they lose to a Dem. Our leftist government is going to take it to us, rather than the other way around. We will not be able to go on offense....but we can defend. And that’s why gun ownership is so imporant.

It sounds like the Republican Party has caved totally.

Or maybe the "leadership" is just exposing their true colors.

How many people had contacted the members on the committee?

Will anyone contact the members on the committee now?

The Republicans who voted yes then were Specter of Pennsylvania, Hatch of Utah, Grassley of Iowa, Kyl of Arizona, Sessions of Alabama and Graham of South Carolina.

I don’t know. I did contact Cornyn and he did vote against, but you can be assured there’s no causality there.

Makes me feel better about him tho’...

Specter of Pennsylvania: Blatent RINO.
Hatch of Utah: Known RINO, getting more RINO like w/ age.
Grassley of Iowa:
Kyl of Arizona:
Sessions of Alabama:
Graham of South Carolina: Flagrant RINO, McCain understudy.

I don’t know much about the other three. We should (again) target these guys for ejection IMHO. Now is a great time to clean house. We are already so weak that losing a few RINOs ain’t gonna make much difference.

American Conservative Union’s voting ratings:
Grassley:84% conservative for 2007/83% conservative lifetime
Kyl: 100% conservative for 2007/97% conservative lifetime
Sessions:83% conservative for 2007/96% conservative lifetime

“Un-f#@*ing believable.
Is there anyone left in Washington with a pair of balls?”

It looks like all the freepers missed the part where many conservative Republicans were swept out of office and replaced by liberal Democrats in the last election. And those few who are left are subject to an unrelenting MSM campaign that daring to oppose The One is tantamount to racism and wanting America ‘to fail’. So Obama getting everything he wants is a done deal.

As a result, some Republicans are choosing their fights.

Two Republicans in committee voted no. What is their reward for voting no if all they get is comments that are negative towards the Republican party?

Sure he is ~ he attempts to make people think he's sly and wily but if he gets the idea that something outrageous (like the shootings at the Starbucks down the block from the White House) might have actually involved someone in the White House he'll drag his feet and begin a cover up.

That is naivete on steroids.

I fully expect him to continue in the same manner with this new regime.
