Johnny Isakson: I regret Eric Holder vote
Politico ^ | June 4, 2013 | by Tal Kopan

Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) is calling his vote to confirm Attorney General Eric Holder “the worst vote I ever took in the United States Senate,” saying Holder should resign in light of recent scandals.

“I did my due diligence, turned out I was wrong. And everything that’s happened since that has proven I was wrong. … It’s ruined his credibility in terms of being attorney general,” Isakson said. “Something’s going to come to a head, because this is very serious business.”

Isakson was one of 19 Republicans in the Senate who voted with Democrats to confirm Holder.

Too little — too late, Johnny.

Johnny Isakson knew Holder burnt children,
broke into the Columbia office, and was a liar and worse.

That makes HIM an accomplice BEFORE THE FACT.

Three words. Marc Rich pardon. That was reason enough to reject Holder and it was hardly a deep secret.

Sorry, not buying it.

Holder’s rap sheet from the Clinton Administration was
LOOOOOOONG and well-known. No excuse for ANY Pubbie who
voted aye.

Stupid is as stupid does, Johnny — frog and scorpion.

You’re dumber than a box of rocks if you didn’t know Holder slaughtered Americans before his current tenure.

FU Johnny Isakson!

Yet he will be back tomorrow voting for Marco Rubio (et al) and his illegal immigrant capitulation bill.

Johnny, you are out if I have anything to do with it. Screw you drunk.

What a weasel. He didn’t know that Holder was Reno’s go-to guy when the women and children in Waco were burned to death? When Elian Gonzalez was kidnapped by DOJ thugs from his uncle’s closet and sent back to Fidel Castro?

Obviously, the worst vote the conservatives in GA cast was voting for someone so ill-informed. He should be primaried ASAP.

“It’s ruined my credibility in terms of being senator,” Isakson said.

Fixed it for you, Johnny.

I regret your vote too, senator.

It’s really too bad for the rest of us that you, much like the rest of your party, is so staggeringly stupid.

Our side seems to allow the Democrats their ‘creature appointments’ all too often.

John McCain never voted no on a SCOTUS appointee until a couple of years ago.

Their mindset is that the president deserves who he wants.

NO, he doesn’t! He deserves a decent qualified person that will be good for the nation. That’s all.

Predictable dope. He was probably button-holed by Lindsey Graham in the cloak room with words along the lines of “the president deserves to have who he wants in office. You should vote for Holder (even though the democrats had 59 votes at the time).”

careful what you ask for. as soon as holder resigns, there will be a huge outcry to move on, and to call the case closed, that obama will end up skating.

“the president deserves to have who he wants in office” stupidest premise I have ever heard regardless of president or party affiliation.

It is good to learn from your mistakes.

It is much better to learn from the mistakes of those who came before you.

Too bad we see too few of either in Washington.

Isakson says “I did my due diligence”.

Oh really?

Holder had already shown himself to be a charlatan, a racist and a bender of the law when nincompoops like Isakson voted to approve his nomination as Attorney General.

Anyone who knew Holder’s past and listened to his words knew he was a slime-ball who would use the power of his office to further the leftist/racist aganda, get payback and subvert justice.

Yet they voted to make him Attorney General.

They are not excused from the damage Holder has done just because they are gullible or stupid.

“They are not excused from the damage Holder has done just because they are gullible or stupid.”

They saw how well Big Media defended their racist god’s defense:

“We’re portrayed by Republicans as either being lying or idiots. It’s actually closer to us being idiots.”
