To think McCain was our option against Obama. Almost seems like a setup, especially when Palin was not allowed to talk about Obamas background.

After McCain made that townhall comment that America had nothing to fear of an Obama presidency, I lost all doubt that he (McCain) was not interested in winning. He was wayyyyy too enthralled with Obama to mount a serious challenge.

YOU GO GOWDY!!!

My crush on Trey Gowdy just grew..
He’s on fire!! The RATS better be shaking in their birkenstocks

[opentalk]

Trey Gowdy, R SC. ....This is about the law. She doesn't care about politics, race .....it is about equal justice. Congress has time to investigate baseball. We have time to investigate lethal Fast and Furious.

He is on fire speaking the truth.

Link to Grassley statement today:

“The assertion of executive privilege raises monumental questions. How can the President assert executive privilege if there was no White House involvement? How can the President exert executive privilege over documents he's supposedly never seen? Is something very big being hidden to go to this extreme? The contempt citation is an important procedural mechanism in our system of checks and balances. The questions from Congress go to determining what happened in a disastrous government program for accountability and so that it's never repeated again.”

Gowdy is a leader in the ‘kick butt and take names’ club.

Link to Grasssley statement regarding Holder's second retraction of Fast & Furious assertions (Mukasey was not briefed as Holder previously testified - under oath?)

Obstructor of Justice Holder is far more evil than any Bulger.

The DOJ has lost all respect by honest people.

The fact McCain had $9 million left over from the 2008 race is telling. He did not give it is all to win. Just donated it to his charity on global affairs, and not to help Republicans win 2012 race.

Lugar is gone..thanks to fellow Hoosiers.

BaROCK needs to remember “It’s the cover up, stupid!”

[abner]

Gowdy is awesome!

[reaganaut]

If we had an assault weapons ban this would not be an issue!

Ummm...Mr. Connoly, the weapons that were sold WERE ALREADY BANNED and confiscated by the US Gov’t under those bans.

/facepalm

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

OK. I have a crush on Gowdy. ;-)

[Hoodat]

Yep, both of my Georgia RINOs made the list.

Thanks MM for all the “contempt/executive priviledge pings.

I’m still trying to figure out what happened. Had Bozo’s EP announcement been planned for the day of the contempt hearing? as a last-ditch effort to stop the contempt vote?

Then why wasn’t the appropriate letter sent to Issa’s committee? During the hearing, Issa said he received nothing except word from the Deputy Atty Gen that Obama was asserting executive privilege. Issa said he needs a log of what documents Obama is claiming EP over.

OT: mamelukesabre, you will appreciate this in light of your post (#38)

When the EP news came across the wires, I was flipping through channels looking for coverage. I had the hearing taping on C-SPAN3. CNN broadcast some of the live hearing, and I presume they announced the EP news, but if they did, it was ever so briefly because when I flipped back to CNN they were broadcasting a segment asking the question: Did Sarah Palin “poison the well” for all future women Pres candidates?

Can’t make this stuff up.

BTW: this thread has also been covering the live hearing

Me too, add to Gowdy to Jason Chaffetz, two of the good guys standing up for law, Justice for murdered agent, not politics

[Tennessee Nana]
