The Dems are shooting themselves in the foot with a howitzer...........

Contempt for Congress?

GUILTY!

‘The Dems are shooting themselves in the foot with a howitzer...........’

True. And Conyers isn’t listening to Pelosi, Hoyer, or anybody else.

Works for me.

[wastedyears]

Let’s hope not just in the foot.

[Red Badger]

Pelosi has totally lost control of the House and, I for one, am glad........

[chimera]

Investigations and subpoenas are all they have to show for a year of being in power. Shows what happens when you put ‘Rats in charge. I hope the sheeple are paying attention, but my guess is they’re not. Pretty pathetic.

While millions of illegals are pouring over our borders, the Dems are playing the fiddle around the campfires.............People, even normally liberal voters, have taken notice.............

[McGruff]

White House spokeswoman Dana Perino ridiculed the Democratic congressional leadership for spending so much time investigating the White House when they still have a string of appropriations bill to pass.

This administration finally growing some testicles? Better late than never I guess.

PS: I'd keep her on if I were the next president.

[Red Badger]

... but my guess is they’re not. Pretty pathetic.

Oh yes they are paying attention. Illegals infest every neighborhood and town from Boston to San Diego to Miami and the Dems want to investigate crap about firing some damn lawyers. People are getting VERY fed up with the illegal immigration problems, even liberals............

Here's what this is about:

House Democrats and the White House moved closer to a constitutional showdown Monday when Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) readied a contempt-of-Congress citation against the White House for failing to comply with subpoenas for documents and testimony from two top staffers.

The Dems are just playing politics. The year is almost over and they have failed even to fund the federal government's operations. Pathetic crew of losers!

Separation of Powers, anyone?

Cono (Conyo) strikes again!

The WH wouldn't be taking any chances because by the time Cono finishes his opening remarks, the '08 Congress will be sworn in.

Hemming and Hawing Cono, haw...aww...aww, quite a vocabulary!

[smonk]

the more time the dems spend on meaningless hearings and investigations that will lead nowhere, the less time they will have to get into real mischief.

although the federal attorney firings were not only legal, but SOP, and the dems have still managed to fabricate the appearance of a scandal from whole cloth.

[zimfam007]

No...it is just about the fact that these people are complete idiots and totally out of touch with America...these people look at the rest of the country as “The Great Fly-Over”.....nothing matters between New York and Los Angeles....

I don’t know that she ever had control, considering how her first decision, Murtha as Leader, blew up in her face the first day out.

Contempt for Congress? GUILTY!

Apparently about 84% of Americans are also guilty. What's their approval rating now? 16%?

[melancholy]

Contempt for Congress? GUILTY!

Nothing wrong with contempt for a contemptible Congress. Au contraire, it’s patriotic.

[massgopguy]

That is contemptible!
