QuoteUpdated 5:01 p.m. - Republicans in the House voted Thursday to cite Attorney General Eric Holder for contempt of Congress in a politically-charged vote stemming from an investigation into alleged gun-running by the U.S. government.

The House voted 255-67, with one member voting "present," to cite Holder for criminal contempt. Most Democrats, led by the Congressional Black Caucus, abstained from the vote and staged a walk-out. But 17 conservative moderate and Democrats voted in favor of the resolution; two Republicans broke ranks to oppose it.

I'm convinced that the democratic party is that fat kid in high school that gets his ass kicked every day, and never lifts a finger to defend himself...Telling himself that pacifism is the "moral" thing to do, when in fact, he just helplessly gets his ass kicked.

Yep.  There won't be an iota of retaliation for this.  Hell, 17 democrats voted in FAVOR of it.

Between this and Obama's refusal to even CONSIDER prosecuting people for torture (they were only "following orders", if you recall), Obama gets the coveted Mike Dukakis Award For Being A Great Big Pussy.

Most of my co-workers are registered Democrats.  When we were riding to the capital yesterday I took the opportunity to educate them on the error of their ways citing shit exactly like what TGRR posted.  They are completely worthless and only serve to make things worse.  It is precisely because of the stupid Democrats that I have to suffer Governor AssFace in my Blaine House.

But the Democratic Party does exactly what they say they will do: nothing. They're a Centrist party, not a "Liberal" one. Just because they're the closest thing we have to a liberal party doesn't mean it's their fault when they fail to live up to liberals' hopes. It's still the fault of the Actual Left for not forming and promoting an Actual Leftist Party.

No just any old litter. I think while he was running umb. Which makes him one of the "strange people you run into"- one of the background characters you find in any city along with the late mr butch and the guy who thinks his cane is a sniper rifle.
