Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus reiterated his call for Attorney General Eric Holders resignation on Wednesday, and promised Operation Fast and Furious will be an election issue in 2012.
Holder may want to point fingers and play the blame game, but as the Attorney General, he bears the responsibility, Priebus told The Daily Caller. Its past time for the attorney general to come clean and take responsibility and if he doesnt, he has a boss who should.
Obamas leadership deficit in holding the members of his administration accountable demonstrates yet again that the president is taking Washington in the wrong direction and only making things worse, said Preibus.
If Obama wont fire Holder, we will, Priebus added. Well fire the whole team in just 11 months.
Priebus considers Obamas continued support for Holder a sign of a consistent lack of competence in the administration. He said that although Holder is ultimately responsible for Fast and Furious, the president refuses to hold him accountable.
Whether its Attorney General Holder under fire for Fast and Furious or Energy Secretary Chu for wasting taxpayer dollars, President Obama has a competence problem within his inner circle, Priebus said. Despite the facts showing otherwise, Eric Holder has repeatedly denied fault in a reckless scandal that ended with the death of a border patrol agent and 1,400 guns lost in Mexico and the United States.
Priebus also promised to make Fast and Furious a prominent theme during the 2012 election.
So that would be “Wash and Rinse” for the next (election) cycle???
Sorta? Maybe?
I crack myself up...really, I do... :^)
Thanks for the ping and thanks for staying on this.
Merry Christmas
Since we’re offering each other suggestions- if you’d take your head home and boil it for a turnip it might be useful. I can’t say. But it might.
You really do need to find another board somewhere ~
Why? I’m a God-Fearing Christian, White, Heterosexual, Anglo-Saxon, Pro-Life, Pro-Gun, Pro Military, Constitution-Loving, Anti-RINO, Commie-hating son of America.
Learn some manners you slob.
You are still too much to the Left or my taste. You lived in Wisconsin ~ that stuff rubs off on you.
Exactly. We get ‘promises’ of what they ‘will’ do. If they were serious, they would do it NOW and not just talk about it.
This should have already been nipped in the bud, instead we have more and more hearings filled with verbal flatulating. Nothing is being done thanks to the spineless jellyfish in Congress who apparently prefer airtime to performing their Constitutional duties.
That’s all fine and dandy. What I want to know is what laws are going to be repealed as punishment on the Government for F&F? The Hughes Amendment must go and so must sporting purpose. While we’re at it, repeal the NFA. We can do it the easy way or the hard way. If we have to do this through the courts, we’re taking it all... we won’t stop until ALL gun control is gone.
I want a commitment from the GOP on repealing these laws as punishment for F&F. If they can’t do it, why should I bother voting for them?
I never got why folks said Steele was so bad. All he did was take over a party many said was finished and proceeded to lead it wins in 2009 in NJ and VA, winning the MA seat in early 2010, then winning the most seats the GOP had won since the 30s along with 7 Senate seats, huge numbers Governorships and in state houses and he kept the tea party on board throughout 2010 and helped builed excitement and enthusiasm.
It’s early yet but I’d suggest the party will not do as well on any level in 2012 as it did in 2010.
Sorry to offend you .........
Life is a Matter of Degrees ... the world, despite your opinion, is NOT binary, and I said “... most people”, NOT “... ALL people”, which left room for binary folks like you to not relate to Michael Steele in the same manner as the new guy and all RINOs.
Personally, I can relate, despise, approve, support, etc in varying degrees, on most but not all subjects as the situation suggests.
Jumping from a frying pan into the fire just because you don’t like being warm is not necessarily the best course of action in every single circumstance.
(A) “Why don’t you ask us instead of telling us! “
Kind of sounds like offended language to me - I wasn’t “TELLING” anyone, just stating my opinion.
(B) I ain’t no f$$$$$g liberal you moron. I spent three years behind the iron curtain in Budapest from 1950 to 1953 so I’ve seen firsthand where Ob’s BS leads to buddy - can you say the same thing?
(C) Keep your insults and personal attacks to yourself.
Oh, and BTW, your FR ID of “presently no screen name” says something about you as well, whether or not it’s intended to be “cute”
Never fight in an outhouse unless you want to win, because you know whats at the bottom of that outhouse.
