And oh yes. I called boner, pence and cantor too.
And it wasn’t to say thank you.
Why is everyone supporting Barton? Really, he apologized. yes, he was told to but he still apologized. A real man would have said no way and stuck to his principles. That is what Im talking about. He is as wrong for apologizing as Boehner is for asking him too. Sorry.
and by the way, I will explode with fury if Boehner removes him from the committee. Im talking EXPLODE
Under pressure from the limp wristed old guard leadership.
When the good guys are willing to speak out we need to support them. More of them will stand up. It is the RINO old guard leadership that is OUT OF TOUCH.
You are either a Patriot or a slave. I for one like Patriot and freedom best.
I was able to reach his office today to support him.I called our congressman and senator, as well as Boehner and Cantor and another congressman on his behalf.
The fascist in the oval office decided not to use tire guages this time.
After life vest and fire extinguisher checks halting operations made the following announcement:
If Barton doesn’t have the sack to stand by his own words, he’ll get no support from me.
“Man up” is the phrase I believe.
Why?
Eric Cantor 202-225-2815
Mike Pence 202-225-3021
When Mr. Barton soon did issue a statement of contrition, Mr. Boehner’s office also distributed it, for added effect. Then Mr. Boehner, Mr. Cantor and another party leader, Representative Mike Pence of Indiana, together publicly rebuked their colleague.

These are the people who should be apologizing or forced to step down.
lol. I just got off the phone with Boehners office. The gentlemen believed fully Barton’s apology was the correct thing to do. He said Barton should not have apologized to BP. WTF? These folks are stupid and completely out of touch. Everyone that is up for reelection must be voted out. EVERYONE. This crop is crap.
Obama needs to be impeached, tried for treason and sent to Gitmo to rot with his muslim buddies.
Emailed him last night, after Happy Hour...
told him NOT to apologize or listen to the Repubs...
THAT’S why there’s a Tea Party!!!!
This is sad. The truth was told. But, the the “truth teller” came under pressure to recant, and wimped out and did so due to threats to lose his personal position. This is craven cowardice of the first order by Rep. Joe. He knows the truth, he spoke the truth; and then, he was so weak and cowed that he denied the truth. We are so screwed in this country.
Lol, ‘Nostrilsarous’, sucking up fossils.
Good you did the phone calling!
He should NEVER have agreed to the Chicago Shakedown! The “Reverend” Jesse Jackass did a similar shakedown on Texaco 13 years ago...and they NEVER recovered! Now Texaco is GONE.
I got told Barton retracted on his own. I believe that as much as I believe in the tooth fairy.
BP will be by the time this oil disaster is finished.
Because I agreed with his apology.
I’ve said the same things to several British friends.
I hate that our spineless Rep leaders forced Barton to apologize... but, I understand why he agreed.
Me too.
The only apology needed here is from Republicans who didn't back Barton---the only person to call the shakedown what it was.
