Because it's not a witch hunt.
Obama-holder's incompetence didn't turn Brian Terry into a newt.
It turned him into a corpse.

The tragedy and cover-up happened on Obama and Holder's watch... Obama-Holder must be held accountable.

Hundreds of Mexicans are dead including an American border patrol agent at the hands of Mexican drug cartels using American weapons. Obama is denying any knowledge of the program and he's lying out his ass. Now he is using his position to hide the truth. If that's a witch hunt from the Republicans, then GOOD FOR THE REPUBLICANS. The parents of Brian Terry deserve an answer.

Republicans are little more than hypocrites. Republicans should concentrate on what happened to all that missing money in Iraq. A main reason why I wouldn't vote for any republican for national office.

who started the program? why don't you admit Bush's part in this? Why haven't any of his people been before this do nothing house in congress? It is a witch hunt. If they really wanted the truth they would question everyone whpo had a part in this program. Wouldn't you agree? I mean to be fair to all. If you don't agree then we can see where you are coming from!

Why would anyone do that - this is owned 100% by this administration. Started in 2009 - You know it, you have been told over and over and you chose to remain stupid. Your choice of course, but no way around facts. This cluster f**k is all this administration

No I didn't know that. 8 years to find it is amazing. But just as it took a democratic administration to balance the budget, get Bin Laden, I guess it is only natural to conclude that it would be under a democratic administration to find out what an incompetent administration did.

reply
Bob, th... to ehrhornp 2012/06/22 20:02:23

are you talking about Clinton and balancing the budget? Remember it was a Republican led Congress that led the debate, reformed welfare, etc...

As for getting Bin Laden, I have given him cred for that...just not crazy about his inserting the "I" word in his praise of the mission...

reply
ehrhornp to Bob, th... 2012/06/22 20:30:15

If the republicans played a meaningful role in those balanced budgets, the balanced budgets would have continued when Clinton left office. They didn't.

As for Bin Laden, I actually do not support Obama on this. I am tired of this country taking the law into its own hands and be damned with legality. I expected more from a law professor. But he did make the decision to go after Bin and that was a gutsy decision considering many of his advisors recommended air strikes.

well, what happened? govt. increased spending after Clinton...that's the problem with politicians..they love to spend more than they take in...there was also the hi-tech bubble burst, the economy was in recession when Bush came into office, the govt. spent more money, there was all kinds of new legislation that cost money such as "No child Left Behind", then of course 9-11 happened, increased military spending, etc..... it goes on and on...Bush signed off on everything Congress sent his way...no vetoes until the final 2 years...Bush should have been loved by Dems, he gave them everything but the kitchen sink...

ehrhornp to Bob, th... 2012/06/23 00:36:30

Now lets not get carried away. Recession didn't start until after GW was already in office. He may not have been responsible for the first recession but it did happen under his watch. Started in March, ended 8 months later.

Congress sent GW everything he asked for. Republicans tend to march in lockstep behind their leaders, right off a cliff. Republicans love to scare people about security so the military industrial complex had to be fed big time. What a waste. And then of course the republicans had to see if the stuff really worked so off to war, two of them. Pot holes around the world, your tax dollars at work.

Oh, please. Stop trying to justify one bad thing (Fast & Furious) by bringing up some other supposedly bad thing ("all that missing money in Iraq").

You've got "missing money" to pin on Republicans. But we've got one DEAD Border Patrol agent and hundreds of DEAD Mexicans to pin on Obama's Fast & Furious thing.

Wow. Missing money vs. people getting killed. You seem to think the former is worse than the latter. That disgusts me.

Bush did not start the Fast and Furious Program . He started a program called Wide Receiver which was a gun walking program , but it was with the cooperation of the Mexican government and the guns were tracked and it was a success. Fast and Furious was just a program where they let over 2000 guns loose to go across the border , no cooperation with that government , and they lost track of the guns .

I fail to see how it's a witch hunt, honestly. ANYONE can draw up a cartoon, doesn't explain a thing. People in our government are lying, and we deserve to trust those in office. I for one am sick of the lies and cheating and we need to stop letting them get away with murder.

Operation wide receiver was different. It had the help & support of the Mexican government. It was ENDED before Bush left office. Plus lets not forget a key issue here. No American citizen died with operation wide receiver. So why are libs desperately trying to tie the two operations together? Is it just another blame Bush agenda?

Over 300 Mexicans died as a result of Obama policies. A more accurate observation would be to conclude that the appeal to give visas to illegals is an operation to divert attention from the deaths of Hispanics as a direct result of administration policy.

yet in the same breath MSNBC will get hysterical when describing Bush policies...and this issue Fast and Furious they want to give it a pass...believing it's a minor issue only because of the politics involved...they are in the tank with Obama..and her claim that 95 percent of Americans aren't watching Fox is beyond ridiculous....I think she has her stats backward...nobody watching MSNBC is more like it, except the small, loud, hysterical LW.....

Well, I have several sources Bob, Who are you in the tank with? This is a witch hunt until everyone involved are questioned. Until then it's politic as usual!

talk about a silly conspiracy theory..this guy is a fringe lunatic...and Maddow trying to link him to Fast and Furious is beyond the pale. 99 percent of Americans never read this guy's blogs about breaking windows or even heard of him...and Maddow is saying that he is responsible for Holder's authorization of giving weapons to Mexican Drug Cartels? Good Grief!! Your sources suck!! She is absolutely delusional.

Carolyn... .this was took up because the program led to an Americans murder . Possibly two Americans and many Mexicans . This is not the same program that Bush started . Bush started a program with the Mexican government and then they tracked these guns. Obamas administration simply allowed guns to walk than they lost track of them or did not even try to follow them . Would we even know about it if one of our border agents had not been murdered with one ? Brian Terrys parents deserve some kind of answer. As do the hundreds of Mexicans . BTW...didn't that video come from the same station that sent out the wrongfully editted tape of that murder in Florida .
