While we had hoped it would not come to this, unless the Attorney General reevaluates his choice and supplies the promised documents, the House will vote to hold him in contempt next week. If, however, Attorney General Holder produces these documents prior to the scheduled vote, we will give the Oversight Committee an opportunity to review in hopes of resolving this issue.

Skittles Withholder was just minding his business when those angry white folks went after him because of the color of his skin.

How long before the race hustlers show up in D.C.?

I’m betting that the Reverends and their rent a mob show up next week in advance of the House contempt vote.

Well, somebody has to start dealing with the arrogance and lack of respect for the rule of law somewhere.

This seems like a logical and reasonable choice and place.

After a day like today, all you can do is disrespect the GOP.

That is disgraceful.

Oh brother rogue yam,
Your love for the GOP is nauseating. RY all you do is cheerlead for the Republican Party....I can’t see how you are even on this site. We are conservatives and not GOPe like you. Most here would like to have the vote today and not next week. You need to be worried about conservatives and not you GOP lovers. After reading your posts since the primary started it is clear you are a liberal Republican at best.

Considering dim districts that are close for election this year, don’t be surprised to see some votes for “yes” on the contmept vote.

What a load of crap.

The House GOP did good things yesterday.

If you can't recognize and acknowledge this it doesn't make you conservative.

It makes you stupid and unreasonable and inept at the game of politics.

I didn’t express any disrespect for the GOP. I expressed uncertainty and unease about our Cry Baby Speaker of the House, John Boehner.

I have tremendous respect for the work of Cong. Issa in this. I have very little confidence in either Beohner or Cantor to proceed with a Contempt vote in the full House and I think their record is plenty of reason to feel that way.

So like I said, I’ll believe there will be a Contempt vote in the full House when I see it on their schedule for next week. Until then it’s up to Boehner to prove me wrong.

Have a nice day.

You are one of the worst we have here. You never are able to back up your nonsense so you call people names. I truly believe that you are liberal and your actions prove this. You are ALWAYS cheerleading the GOPe and RINOs. Nobody does this but YOU!!!!!

What you are doing is sitting in your poopy diaper bawling.

Other people are busy defending the Constitution.

The reason you expect these others to come to you and try to cajole you out of your tantrum is because you haven’t learned to take care of yourself yet.

You are so blinded by your bigotry against Romney that you have no idea what is going on.

We have a national election of profound importance coming up in just 4.5 short months.

Some people are trying to win this election.

You are not.

That is what is going on.

I don’t vote for Liberal Republicans like you do...bigotry? What bigotry? You have no idea about Romney is your problem. He is a mirror image of Obama but your blinded by your crush and his good looks to look at it intelligently.
