“While a student at BYU, he was a Utah co-chairman for Michael Dukakis’s 1988 campaign for U.S. President.”

Hard to hold that against him. Remember what P.J. O’Roarke said.

On another note, I believe he’s getting a little taste of real DC. His expression was priceless today when he found out 24000 of Lois Lerner’s emails were erased while under subpoena. Wonder if he’ll get tired of these govt agency heads pi$$ing down his back and calling it rain?

You were way ahead of your time. I’m sure you caught some slack here then.
However, things have changed.

Whatever it takes to get the current GOP leaderless team out, I’m for it!

The GOP is not the “lessor evil” anymore.

A small victory. Nice to be sure, but I’d rather see the gop kleptocrat brigade rendered irrelevant and impotent.

Time for a PURGE, first of RINOS, then of Demo Marxists. It can be done between now and Nov. 2016 elections if it is done right. RECALLs.

Why do I dislike these RINOS that have an agenda that puts America, our freedom, and our rights last....all so they can advance their theft of our sovereignty and get rich?

Got a lot of heat. The point is to get rid of him any legal way we can. Personally I doubt it will happen.

Just like I doubt anything will happen about the confederate flag being used as a way to kill the political will of an entire region of the country. A few will protest but that’s about it. I’ll mail my confederate flag postcards to the traitors in the republican party and won’t expect a reply. And I’ll put a decal on my truck and will expect some blowback and maybe vandalism. Hopefully not. Because I know if it happens and I call the cops they’ll tell me I’m inciting violence by exercising my right to free speech.

Likely due to the threat by Conservatives to caucus with Democrats to oust Boehner as Speaker. It was NOT out of the goodness of his heart.

Unfortunately that is the only way to beat entrenched corrupt politics. The new guys that haven’t been corrupted need to organize and collaborate.

It’s hard to hold the fact that he actively supported and campaigned for one of the most liberal candidates up until that time for POTUS???

Anyone with a quarter of a brain knew he was an idiot.

Chaffetz is a liberal sleazy slimeball cut from the same cloth as Boehnor, Romney, and Dukakis.

Bigger, but the resolution is not any better.

So, when it matters little, THEN ‘listen’ to the base, else, F* off, eh?

You must have missed the P.J. O’Roarke comment. He said, “If you’re not a liberal in your 20’s you have no heart, and if you’re not a Conservative by 30 you have no brain. “

Chaffertz didn’t have a quarter of a brain then, it was busy in his trousers at the time.

Chaffetz actions haven’t demonstrated that he has anymore of a brain than he had back then.
