30. Where did I ask you to "bury it"? I merely asked what's the relevance? I know your main purpose...

Jul 2012

here is to constantly bash both parties as the same, but why you're allowed to continue with this campaign is perplexing. No one here has any delusions that you're trying to draw some connection from this woman to the Obama administration. It's what you do.

For most "Democrats", however, job #1 is getting the president reelected. Your goal seems to be somewhat different.

Top Donor/Receives presidential pardon...Gosh. You think there might be a connection? Tierra_y_Libertad Jul 2012 #1

Why bring Holder into this? Rich's pardon happened on Clinton's watch. There are lots... Tarheel_Dem Jul 2012 #10
Maybe because Holder advocated for Marc? Or do you want us to bury our heads again? Huey P. Long Jul 2012 #12
A lot of us advocated/voted for these guys too. Now they're disgraced. What does that make us? Tarheel_Dem Jul 2012 #27
Hilarious. First you want to deny the info, bury it. Huey P. Long Jul 2012 #28
