In reply to the discussion: White House Stands By Holder On Fast And Furious [View all]bvar22
(39,909 posts)You really think it is smart for the Party Leadership to burn political capital "Standing By"
the guy who:
*Literally could not get corrupt Republican Ted Stevens out of jail fast enough,
but has never heard of unjustly imprisoned Democratic Governor Don Siegelman?
*believes that Medical Marijuana is a bigger threat to our nation than corrupt Wall Street Bankers?
*tepid about investigating Election Fraud, Voter Suppression, and hackable BBV machines?
*who supported (by his silence, if not actively involved) the nationally co-ordinated brutal suppression
of peaceful OWS Protesters?
My, my.
At least ACORN was doing some good for the Democratic Party before they were so quickly dumped.
If Eric Holder had shown any inclination for Standing UP for Civil Liberties and Constitutional Protections of our citizens, ...
If he had shown an appetite for Taking On the Wall Street Vultures and going to bat for the Working Class,...
IF he had stepped in during the OWS Beat Down and said, "Wait a minute..."
I would have a different opinion.
But he hasn't, and I don't.
Standing UP for Holder is a waste of political capital.
The White House should keep its distance,
NOT embrace Fast & Furious.
Standing UP for Holder is Obama's "Heck of a job, Brownie" moment.
