Rookie Democrat draws fire for Holder vote
By CHARLES MAHTESIAN | 7/1/12 8:00 AM EDT
More fallout on the left against Democrats who voted last week to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress.
In this case, it’s newly elected Rep. Ron Barber who is under fire just weeks after he won the special election to replace Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
From an open letter to Barber posted on the liberal Blog for Arizona:
**SNIP**
True, you voted against the worst of the two contempt measures against Holder, the one calling for criminal contempt. But your vote for the civil contempt measure, which allows Darrell Issa's committee to file a lawsuit demanding withheld documents, was a disturbing choice...
Your contempt vote was a very bad call. I hope it's a rookie error which occurred because you were thrown into some major votes before you had a chance to get your bearings. If, however, you plan to cast similarly indefensible votes in the future in the interest of your concept of "bipartisanship," you can count me out as a supporter.

In Mr. Barber’s district, AZ08, it’s about ‘reconquista’ and elevating the illegals above the taxpayers. I live in his district but not in an urban area (those are too dangerous). He’s a lib and mayhap we can get rid of him in November (he just won a special election to fill the rest of Giffords’ term).
Barber is a moron and not very bright. It was the azzes who voted for him down in Azzlan that screwed up.
This story is a microcosm of the media slant in this country “ ....draws fire for vote against holder” Then read the comments 80% of them support charges against Holder. And this isnt on free republic, this is Yahoo. The media is trying like hell to show everyone is in lock step with the regime, but the facade is crumbling....
In the USSR, Mao’s China and North Korea an individual’s first loyalty was expected to be to the Communist Party.
The Communist Party demanded that one abandon personal honor, ethics, morality, the constitution, and the well being of the nation for the will of the party.
In the United States of Obama an individual’s first loyalty is demanded by the Obama led democrat party.
The Democrat Party demands that one abandon personal honor, ethics, morality, the constitution, and the well being of the nation for the will of the party.
Well said.
