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.

Representative John A. Boehner of Ohio, the House Republican leader, and Representative Eric Cantor of Virginia, the Republican whip, summoned Mr. Barton and he “was told to apologize, immediately, or he would lose his spot, immediately,” a senior aide said. “We’ll see what happens going forward.”

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.

Listening to the Democrats question's made me so angry. These people seem to forget they were elected to represent the American people. The rude, arrogant manner in which they acted was a total embarrassment. They could certainly accomplish a great deal with quiet reserve and thoughtful questions. They didn't need to pretend they were such big shots. I hope they all get voted out of office.

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.

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.

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.

What an UGLY, but effective machine to suck up the oil.

The only apology needed here is from Republicans who didn't back Barton---the only person to call the shakedown what it was.
