House Republicans Request Special Counsel to Probe Holder on 'Fast and Furious'

[Atman]

Hey, Republicans...WHERE ARE THE FUCKING JOBS?

An entire year running (or is that ruining?) The House and what do you have to show for it? NOTHING. ZIP. NADA...oh, except for that you been able to obstruct the president at every turn. But you came to power with the promise of JOBS and turning the country around. WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU DONE? 1,000 anti-abortion bills. I can't think of anything else. NOTHING. Where are the jobs -- or, where is your jobs bill?

And now, with all the pressing issues facing the country...THIS is what you focus on. WHERE ARE THE JOBS? After all, it is YOUR party leaders who say they will not vote for anything President Obama does in the way of job creation.

5. Oh, right. Okay.

We (they, he) ignored illegal wars, criminal activity in the WH for years, on and on...you know the score. I'm not saying that one offense negates the other. My point is simply that the Republican-led House has been unable to do ANYTHING except legislate abortion and now, go after Holder. Those are their priorities. Meanwhile they stonewall Obama, and outright get in his face and tell him they won't even vote on anything he does. But they have time to go after holder.

Un-rec all you can. I could give a fuck. I want the House to actually DO SOMETHING that affects the lives of the millions of Americans who are suffering. Please explain to my un-employed sister how this helps her. PRIORITIES.

3. Fast and Furious was a bad program, but the joblessness is the real problem.

Republicans want to create a scandal (and the program is a scandal) to distract from the fact that they are merely paid employees working for the multinational corporations and not for Americans.

4. The ATF created this scandal

Along with the justice department. Personally, I don't want any Congress to ignore its oversight responsibilities as that is one of their primary functions.
