WASHINGTON — A House committee is voting on whether to hold a former Internal Revenue Service official in contempt of Congress for refusing to answer questions at a pair of hearings.

Well, maybe we should introduce our own “buzz-word”

Gowdy-ism

?

[Jane Long]

Yes. Haven’t you heard? The Pubs are the new McCarthy’s - “running roughshod” over our Bill of Rights.

Goebbels would be proud.

I really don’t think Americans understand what happened here. Our reps in their campaign need to broadcast it far and wide. What if, say, Occupy Wall St. was happening under Bush and he sicced his IRS on the applicants, denied their applications and sent OSHA, FBI, etc to investigate THEM like what’s happened to Englebrecht of True the Vote?

If the public doesn’t know it’s because the GOP leadership just hasn’t been interested in being engaged on the IRS issue. All we get from them are occasional hit and run hearings.

When the kenyan lied during the super bowl interview Issa or Camp should have immediately called a hearing to prove him a liar and keep the Dems off balance. Instead they continued tip toeing as the Dems slow walk this.

[Jane Long]

Don’t mess with Slow Lerner’s “God given rights!” ....baloney from Maloney.

They get away with more twisting than Chubby Checkers ever thought about.

Agreement in Full, lodi. The time for walking is over for the democrats.

[Jane Long]

Agree. Issa has led this entire debacle from behind.

[txhurl]

Probably because Boehner, Cantor, McConnell and all the other traitors can be found in this investigation as Lerner accomplices. Hell, they’re witch-hunting we TEA people as we speak!

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

:: If the public doesn’t know it’s because the GOP leadership just hasn’t been interested in being engaged on the IRS issue wets their collective pants when dealing with the national media.

Might be a bit more accurate.

and I’ll add ... The time is over for the republicans walking away too is over. Time for justice for all as is guaranteed under our Constitution.

Maloney needs to fire her plastic surgeon! Gack!!!!

[Red_Devil 232]

Gee Wiz this break is going on for a long time!

[Norm Lenhart]

This scenario today is why principle matters.

[no-to-illegals]

We sing you and I agree.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Bingo!

[no-to-illegals]

Dittos!

[BykrBayb]

When are they expected back?

[Norm Lenhart]

The GOP could earn back some of the good will they trashed doing the right thing here. Every time one of ‘our’ guys/girls fights back on anything there is an explosion of excitement and rallying of the right.

They could spark something big and good here. If they want to.

[txhurl]

Hypocritically, Tokyo Rove will get up on FNC and bitch about his Crossroads application being sat on and investigated. HIS ox wasn’t supposed to get gored... just us real conservatives’ oxen.

[no-to-illegals]

Yes Norm ... May the spark light our fire.

[bonfire]

Excellent! Might want to send Gowdy your comment.
