Remember the Clinton years. One special committee after another, one made up scandal after another.

I thought it couldn't have gotten worst but I was wrong. This time it isn't even hidden. From day one, the GOP said there number one goal was to make President Obama a one term President. Issa said he wanted one hearing each day. He planned when he took his position to hunt for something, anything.

At one time we could have some confidence our elected officials would put aside politics to do what was right for our country. Not any more!

But you have got to give the GOP credit. They know how to stay on message.

If Holder were the Attorney General of a Republican president, and his department had knowingly allowed guns to be smuggled into Mexico so that they could "track them", and then those guns killed American citizens, everyone here would be screaming for his head.


Partisanship goes both ways.
