Democrats’ Support for Holder Collapsing

Cracks have started to appear in the wholehearted Democratic support for embattled Attorney General Eric Holder as he faces possible contempt hearings for refusing to hand over papers relating to the Fast and Furious gun-running scandal.

Three House Democrats and one Senate candidate have added their voices to the growing clamor for Holder and his Justice Department to come clean on the scheme that allowed thousands of guns to fall into the hands of violent Mexican drug cartels.

The move comes the day before congressmen will be given the opportunity to vent on their feelings in the case in a “special order” session which is expected to result in a concerted Republican call for Holder to quit or be fired.

The three congressmen, Nick Rahall of West Virginia, Gene Green of Texas, and Ron Kind of Wisconsin, were among 31 Democratic representatives who signed a letter last summer urging the Justice Department to cooperate with investigations being spearheaded by Republican Rep. Darrell Issa of California and Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa.

But they are the first to say that Holder and his department have failed to live up to the expectations they expressed in the letter which was sent to President Barack Obama in June last year. “I know there’s embarrassment at ATF, and I know this program is not just under President Obama,” Rahall told The Washington Times. “It was going on previous to that, but they ought to deal with it. They ought to clean it up and make sure that doesn’t happen.”

West Virginia and Wisconsin Rats . . . they are finally admitting the massive “chink” in the Rat armor. I feel a landslide of epic proportions coming

WV and WI are two states where it is becoming increasingly obvious that support for the administration has slipped. In WV, the assault on the coal industry, power generation, and the local economy has opened eyes, and if that isn't enough to damn the Obamites, the latest 40+% primary vote for a Felon over Obama pretty much tells the tale.

In Wisconsin, support for Walker also shows which way the wind is blowing.

Given those indicators and the recent 'coming out' of Obama supporting 'gay marriage' (far more unpopular than the media would have us believe), and I think this is just the beginning of dissociation from the criminal acts of the administration in order to keep up individual chances of reelection.

I never was big on buses. Now, dominoes are another story...

The bus has been started and it has Holder's name on it.

Based on the dark greasy looking little cloud in that picture, I submit that the bus has already run down Holder.

He just doesn't know it yet.

Just sent this to Rance and the boys (via email so as to save them the postage -- SINCE THE COUNTRY'S BROKE!).

Most of you who have ever voted Pubby probably get these things. I hope to God you don't actually send these elitist clowns any $$$. Better to give it directly to YOUR local guy and work in his campaign if he's an improvement over the incumbent. Sending it to the NRC is right up there with sending it to the DNC, Move-On.org or ACORN.

Might I suggest that you send your next "Survey" form back in similar fashion? Perhaps if the "money" dries up and they get a few million of these, they just might get the picture -- but don't hold your breath.

LOL! You mad, bro?

What they fear most is losing their seats....they are from where? West Virginia, and Wisconsin. If one of these Rats was from Califoria or Massachusettes, then I would take notice.

West Virginia has a rat governor, two rat senators, and a rat-controlled state legislature where the Senate is 28-6 rat, and the House is 65-35 rat.

And West Virginia just gave 40% of the Dem Primary vote to a Texas prison inmate in preference to Obama. West Virginia must worry them.

Holder isn’t going anywhere.
He and obama are fully dependant on each other.
Mutual assured destruction.

You would be mad too if you were in the GA-4th. Trust me, I was for a couple years, too.

Hale!

The guy who’d replace him, West, was a John Walker Lindh/terrorist lawyer. He was/is involved in the Kuwata goings on.

That said, Holder should be thrown in jail forever. Waco, Elian, Ruby Ridge, and now this hideousness.

Boehner has come out in support of Issa’s F&F investigation...

They never fail to find the lowest common denominator over there on that side, do they....

This should be called “The No Dirtbag Left Behind” admin.
