Who are the Two? Why did we work so hard to give them the Majority?
Two of the committees 23 Republicans have declined to support the measure at this point, while five other GOP panel members did not respond
Can we name names please?
“After spending nearly all of last year quiet on the issue, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) wrote Holder last week to prod him to turn over the thousands of remaining documents requested under Issas subpoena.”
Yeah, that prodding sure is effective. /s
“The Republican leaderships hesitance to fully back the contempt measure is due in part to the drastic nature of the rarely used maneuver and those members desire to make certain all other diplomatic attempts at getting the documents are exhausted.”
“All other diplomatic attempts” weren’t just exhausted - they were DOA. It’s been a year since they first called for documents!!!
“But their hesitance might also be due to Issas outspoken nature. The powerful lawmaker frequently takes to a wide array of cable news shows to lob verbal attacks at Democrats and the White House.”
They should ALL be so outspoken in attacking! Jeez - no wonder we keep getting shafted. WHEN will we ever fight fire with fire????
200+ and climing daily dead Mexicans, and at least 1 US Border Agent, because of Ricky H and his man friend Racky 0.
What's the Mexican govt gonna do? Declare war? We are already under an invasion siege from them.

In the true sense of what we are doing, this is how the system is supposed to work.
Where it breaks down is when (say) the ‘leader’ states “We don’t want the sun to shine anymore” his ‘followers’ automatically lock step with him.
The opposition will be 100% against it but will not give you a reason why, while we all know it is just ‘politics’ as usual.
The ‘sad part’ of it all is if the guy that wants no sunshine ‘changes his/her mind’ the other side will change theirs also.
‘Cry me a River(on cue)’ Boner should either get a pair or step down, neither will happen so it is up to the citizens of Ohio to unelect him and the rest of us to elect people with gonads to unseat him if he sneaks in again.
They have stalled this long enough so if it opens now the ‘other side’ can claim election year politics (the reason they stalled anyhow - if they ever intended to go forth).
Much like “I work so hard so I can earn money buy to more coke to make me work harder to earn more money so I can buy more coke etc..”
One Party Rule.
Don’t tip the boat?
or just another slap
In your face Communism?
My question is: why didn’t this list come out when there was still time to put up primary opponents against them?
Todd Platts is not going to rock the boat, he is not running for reelection. We need to clean all those people out, they probably have so many skeletons in their closets they can’t close the doors.
” One word: Boehner. “
Bingo!
The answer lies within your question.
Even if we don’t have enough votes, having the vote at all is embarrassing to Holder and the Obama Administration.
Probably because it's the US Att'y General.
Your USG; become a criminal organization. Many USAians support crime when it _supports_ their beliefs.
