This is a shame. Joe Barton tells the truth and he is excoriated for it.

I stand with Joe Barton.

[Uri’el-2012]

Rep. Jo Bonner

This Quisling and others need to stand down !

[Mr. Silverback]

Even if I completely disagreed with Rep. Barton, it takes a grandstanding butthole to call for him to resign over this.

Messrs. Bonner and Miller, get bent.

[dalebert]

this tells me the republicans are as dumb as a stump..they missed a perfect opportunity .....dont they care about the rule of law in this country...we have laws and the obama administration is constantly making up its own laws to suit themselves and it looks like Republicans are supporting them

[rockinqsranch]

So called Republicans acting like Democrats in the locker room isn’t acceptable behavior.

RQSR stands with Joe Barton.

[ExTexasRedhead]

Join me in calling these RINOs on Monday.

[Faith]

What is wrong with these people? I am amazed at their arrogance and ignorance.

[SootyFoot2]

ME TOO!
Our country will continue this terrible downward spiral (fall) until the Republicans - ALL of the Republicans - get sense enough and spine enough to acknowledge right from wrong and WRONG from RIGHT!!!

[FreeAtlanta]

20 Billion buys a lot of RINO Amunition... not that I am saying Bonner and Miller have been bought... but, have they?

[RoadKingSE]

Rep. Jo Bonner, an Alabama Republican, is calling on Rep. Joe Barton to step down as the ranking Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

Jo Bonner, I'd like you to meet Heywood Jablomie. RINO punk.

[funfan]

I thought he was told if he apologized he would not be kicked off the committee? Well that is why he should have stood by his statement in the first place stand for your convictions gosh darnit. Serves him right for folding under pressure

[bereanway]

This is a perfect illustration of just how pathetic certain elements of the Republican Party have become. These guys are as much a part of the problem as the dims.

[NYCslicker]

This is the first time I’ve felt physically sick over Republican leadership.

[Myrddin]

Barton was correct. Those who are criticizing him are RINO appeasers. Remember that in November.

[Fantasywriter]

I haven’t been this furious in a while. Boehner led the charge. He needs to pay.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Screw those little wimps.

Joe Barton is a man who speaks the truth
and deserves a badge for it.

[hondact200]

Resign. Hell No. The clown in the Whine House needs to resign. Tell the GOP to STFU.

[NotSoModerate]

Joe Barton tells the truth and he is excoriated for it.

Joe Barton and many FReepers have failed to ask one question: did BP cut a deal with the Obama administration: $20 billion for a slap on the wrist concerning a criminal investigation, and tons of other goodies like cap and trade and federal bailout guarantees?

If Barton and his supporters can't even muster the strength to consider BP and Obama cut a deal then we're all doomed.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Why can’t these pathetic traitors STFU for once in their lives?

[EternalVigilance]

I stand with Joe Barton.

You do? Has he apologized for his apology for apologizing and I missed it?

[freekitty]

Don’t resign
