Eric Holder is a marxist disgrace and I’ll tell it to his face.

Let’s roll.

Romney was torpedoed in part by the followers of Huckabee, but more significantly by the anti-Mormon campaign in the wider media. The same media that could barely even utter the word
‘Reverend Wright” and the content of his sermons, picked over long discarded aspects of Mormon doctrine, they tore into unrelated details related to Romney’s erstwhile work with Bain Capital. Just like they made up a passel of garbage, about the Governor of Alaska, nad seeded it on Youtube, wikipedia, every corner of google, which dim witted writers of SNL picked up and fed to the likes of Tina Fey. Which you swallowed hook line and sinker.

So we are not to fight Holder, because they might come up with someone worse, like say former 9/11 commissioner and Fannie mae executive Jamie Gorelick, possible but doesn’t that violate some ethical obligation.

Of course, no one will ever hear it….

Eric Holder is qualified. He effectively ran Justice in the last 4 years of the Clinton Administration as Clinton had nothing but cotempt for the incompetent, palsied Reno. I didn’t like many of his actions, but he is no Reno or Alberto Gonzalez. I was very happy when he backed the Heller decision and said he would not try end-arounding “well-established law of the land”. The pardons? Bill & Hillary’s ideas. And something the Constitution gives the President the explicit authority to do. Holder was the foot soldier that saluted and said “Yessir!”. The pardons are not revokable, are 8 years old, and plenty of opportunity existed to “get” Hillary as she ran and won two Senate elections, then ran for President and almost won, but Republicans (and Democrats) failed to make a good case that the pardons being a big transgression.
My advice, water under the bridge. Screaming about ancient Scandal! will only burn Right-Wingers further and damage Republicans for focusing on the trivial.
The country has far more important things to do now, horrific Bush messes to clean up, to suffer a fringe band of Republican idiots still going on about Bill’s wayward penis, pardons, and “Travelgate”.

As for Obama, with 75% approval and time to reflect on how badly McCain showed himself as a candidate…Obama being black had nothing to do with his election. He was clearly the best Democratic candidate who outfought, out thought, out organized, and out financed his rivals. And against the treacherous, old, sometimes incoherent and erratic McCain, he was the better nominee.
I think it would have been a lot closer a call if Romney had not been torpedo’d by the Fundies, if Fred had any fire in his lazy belly, if a few Rep Governors had more seasoning and more distance from Bush II, DeLay to run – perhaps if Jeb Bush had a different last name, or if Obama had ran against different people in a different year. His lack of experience might have doomed him. But he did not. He ran against weak Dem rivals, one that had a bastard child a-comin’, and one with so much baggage she should have campaigned with a locomotive needed to haul it around behind her.
But he did not. He was the best candidate and the one that best showed he had judgment and leadership attributes and ability to do an effective campaign.

RW – Like we have to give this guy a pass even though he worked to pardon FALN terrorists, Marc Rich and used a local judge’s order to take a kid at gunpoint away from his family on Easter Weekend.

AS mentioned, Holder was the foot soldier executing Presidential powers Clinton was determined to exercise. No different than Robert Bork agreeing to execute Nixons legally valid command to fire Archibald Cox.
As for the Elian Gonzalez affair, it was one of Bill Clinton’s finest acts of political courage. Whenever you go down a path where a country has crazies that claim their ideology justifies taking kids away from law-abiding parents, you have massive problems.

Clinton standing up to the Cuban Exile crazies and the zealots of the far Right was a great American moment. And something Americans now fighting for their parental rights against other countries who have their kids and justifying it on ideology and religion – deeply appreciate. Sweden is holding a couple US kids with relatives of a Swedish emigre who married an American man, then died on a visit, because of concern’s over the kids access to good schools and healthcare insurance in the USA. Well-meaning Swedish socialists have effectively kidnapped the two children to serve as statements of their ideology.
And several Muslim countries have stated it is better for a child of a Muslim NOT to be returned to full or joint custody of an American because they honestly believe returning a child to a good, law-abiding US parent might put the childs very soul at risk of never reaching Paradise.

Bill Clinton believed, as most Americans do, that politics should never destroy parental custody rights – ever. A good parent has a right to raise their child, no matter what sort of politics or religion they live under. As Elians relatives raged (most with criminal and mental health issues) and angry Exiles stormed the streets, I remembered thinking that if Clinton had only had more acts of political courage instead of triangulations, whored out to Wall Street on a Bush II level, Bill’s always lawyering away ethics, and his craven capitulations – he might have one day been remembered as a excellent President, even a great one.

The great Hon. Jeff Sessions did his job and one other Senator late. But the tone of the hearing I caught was fait accompli.

Like we have to give this guy a pass even though he worked to pardon FALN terrorists, Marc Rich and used a local judge’s order to take a kid at gunpoint away from his family on Easter Weekend.

And he later denied that any gun was pointed or present when the Elian was taken. He later found out that was wrong.

Eric Holder does have that marvelous quality to obfuscate on issues and make himself innocent. Maybe that’s the quality we need with an AG.

This is too much for me to stomach. And his comments before and during the hearing on the state’s legal rights on the 2nd amendment were none too impressive either.

More obfuscation. Followed by confiscation.

and read this: “Obama is Mulling His Own FEMA”

We’re screwed.

These people make me gag.

Slop. Crud. Decay. Filth. Crooked. Liars. Frauds. Criminals.

The mafia should be taking lessons from this whole crew; maybe they can recover some of their street power.
