Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan sent out a fundraising plea to supporters Tuesday saying that donating to the Romney campaign will help ensure that Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., whose Justice Department oversaw the botched "Fast and Furious" gunwalking operation, will be kicked out of office.

The email plea comes a day after Univision reported that guns from the U.S. government operation ended up in the hands of major drug cartel leaders and were used to kill 16 people at a birthday party in Juarez, Mexico.

This is a good development. I doubt that we can hope that they prosecute those involved, including Eric Holder. The mere fact that they are using this is positive.

Cnn led off the 10 Central hour with the Libya story and get this anchor Erin Burnett just said to Elise Labott that she knew she had been working “Fast and Furious” on the Libya story. Was that a poor choice of words or a subtle warning to the Obama administration?

I suspect it was a subtle "dig" at conservatives, an "in your face", we are not going there snark.

Hell yes he should campaign on it!

Going after my gun rights by arming narco-terrorists is not my idea of a legitimate government function, being the simpleton that I am.

Obama and his boy Holder should be in a federal prison, in Mexico!!!

Let Michelle then move South of the border too, she can call off the number of tacos and refritos served in the Chihuahua school district! Their new ‘food seniorita!’

Be gone, the lot of you!
