On day of contempt vote Eric Holder skips town, heads to Disneyworld
On the day in which the U.S. House of Representatives has determined that Attorney General Eric Holder’s actions are egregious enough to warrant a criminal contempt vote, the AG has skipped town and headed to … Disneyworld.
According to the National Journal’s Daybook, Holder will be addressing the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) during a convention at a Disneyworld Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.
Members of Congress will decide in a series of contempt votes whether Attorney General Holder will be held in contempt of Congress for his refusal to turn over a substantial number of the documents related to the Fast and Furious scandal that caused the death of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.
Last week, Obama claimed executive privilege on the documents related to the Fast and Furious Investigation, a move that has angered many Americans and indicated the possibility of a cover-up.

Can't help laughing ...
(wasn't there enough 'Mickey-Mouse-ing' around in his office .. now he's got to go to the Corporate Fantasy Land?)
This is par for the course ..
doesn't matter the locale ..
"Mickey-Mouse"-ing around .. is what Holder as DoJ does best ..




















then impeached ...and obama to follow !
contempt charge ......according to him ...."you cant hold me in conpempt " just who do you all think you are anyhow ?
just the house of reps. that all ......
Saddam and all of the world knew we were coming. Mexico didn't have a clue we were arming their most vicious killers.
**** Bonus question: If the purpose of going to war with Iraq was "for Stock and oil profiteers" what was the purpose of Fast and Furious?
Tell me something, are you a leftwing extremist? A Socialist and essentially everything the political right says about the political left... or are you an American first?
If you say you are an American, you can view this as being a political witch hunt... but then, we do have a man who was killed as a result of actions Eric Holder may be involved in.
As for the right, it is possibly political for them... no different than the left wanting to go after Bush and Cheney was political but most on the left saw that as justified not because they believed they would get the two men convicted of anything... but because they were motivated by political reasons.
Because a man died as a result of these actions and how this idiotic Fast & Furious program was handled, Eric holder may have put thousands of guns in the hands of the very criminal element he is sworn to stop... that alone is enough to call him incompetent, but when deaths are caused by this program he's involved in, then it becomes something different where this man is getting...

If he is innocent of wrong doing as you claim, then step forward and cooperate as if there's nothing to hide and this is a joke as you claim... then he has nothing to worry about.
Prove the Republicans wrong rather than giving them something they can use to win election victories in 2012 with. Suspicion has done a lot of damage to the Democrats because for all the lefts claims of innocence, laughing things off and attacking the Republicans... all it's done is inflamed their voting base and pushed Moderates and rightwing Democrats to support them. All this BS from the left has done is serve to split your party against itself as Obama hasn't spent four years trying to win Republican support, he's spent four years trying to put his political party back together after idiot Progressives and Liberals went on the attack against Republicans unifying them and inflaming them to vote where you also went too far by attacking rightwing Democrats splitting your party against itself.
The Democrats are an extremely weak political party because the Republicans are almost 100% rightwing where you are left right and center... while they unite giving them majority control over the country for the past 40 years, every damn time the Democrats gain power they fall against one another, split their party against itself and give power back to Republicans in the next election cycle. The rightwing Democrats aren't splitting the Democrats against one another... it's the leftwing Democrats who instead of fixing the country like they brag they're gonna do, they get bogged down with hatred trying to get even with Conservatives and rightwingers for all the years the left was out of power.
You play right into their hands with issues like this with Holder because YOU are the one playing politics and they're the ones coming off concerned about the death of Brian Terry. You can argue they don't give a damn and it's all politics... but at least they seem concerned about the death where you brush the whole thing off as a joke.
Who would you support if this were a Republican Administration and a rightwing AG?
You would be acting just like the rightwingers. So maybe it is political... and you're going to be on the losing side because the average American is alarmed by this fiasco and they want something done about it so those accountable are brought to justice.
The problem here is that the Neo-Con Right has no platform to run on, a candidate that cannot win, and is finding that more and more people are becoming aware of their ways. The only way they feel that they will regain what they have lost is to do their best to smear. Good Luck with that.
