Republicans Backing Off Holder Contempt Charges, Exemplifies Systemic RINO Problem M Catharine Evans May 24, 2012 americanthinker.com Republicans in Congress better wake up and start freezing some of their own targets against the left if they hope to see a GOP victory in November. The level of corruption, from murdered federal agents to looting taxpayer monies got green companies like Solyndra to the war on religion should be enough to have our elected representatives up in arms. Yet, there are still legislators who remain squeamish in the face of our constitutional republic's impending demise. Sarah Palin got it right on Monday while on Fox News' "Hannity." "This phony, hypocritical, one-sided call for a cease-fire by the left and their lapdogs in the media. These leftists politicians saying 'that's going to be off the table, that's going to be off the table...And then for the Republican operatives who are high-paid consultants to candidates agreeing to take things off the table - that's no battle plan for victory on our side - on the common-sense constitutionalist side. It's ridiculous." These Republican operatives, Palin maintained, "seem to have the fighting instinct of Mr. Snuffleupagus[.]" Think Palin is off the mark? An AP reporter at The Hill is now reporting certain Republican congressmen on Issa's House Oversight committee are "wary of going forward" in citing Attorney General Eric Holder with contempt for his part in Fast and Furious. If true, the first Snuffleupagus awards should go to the following: Not committed Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) - plans to hold off making his decision until afinal draft is put forward Rep. Frank Guinta (R-N.H.) - nocomment Did not respond Rep. Todd Platts (R-Pa.) Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio) Rep. Connie Mack (R-Fla.) Rep. Tim Walberg (R-Mich.) Rep. Patrick Meehan (R-Pa.) Mike Vanderboegh of Sipseystreet has issued Speaker John Boehner a challenge to disprove the AP story as a disinformation campaign by the Obama administration. One of Vanderboegh's inside sources flatly states the GOP congressmen are scared of Holder's race card, but not afraid of a firestorm of criticism from the conservative blogosphere if the measure fails to get enough votes. Politico is reporting committee Republicans have moved the deadline for Holder to turn over missing documents from Memorial Day to mid-June. Sounds like Vanderboegh's source is dead on. In contrast to the cowering RINOS on the Hill there was one act of courage this week. A high school junior in North Carolina stood up for the First Amendment and didn't back down against a leftist Obama-obsessed teacher. How far off the track have legislators gotten when a teenager shows more cojones than House Oversight officials? Read more M. Catharine Evans at Potter Williams Report Read more: americanthinker.com

DOJ Not Even Pretending to be Nonpartisan Anymore Posted by Jake Walker (Diary) Thursday, May 31st at 6:00PM EDT The Obama Justice Department isn’t even trying to appear to be non-partisan anymore (did they ever try in the first place, though?). Eric Holder is doing his best to scare black pastors into encouraging their congregations to vote for Obama using the Voter ID ruse. Our “sacred” right to vote is in danger of being taken away thanks to evil Voter ID laws and other trumped up charges. Says Politico: The attorney general told them his office is “aggressively” taking on the task of protecting that right, including challenging several state lawsuits that would overturn key provisions of the Voting Rights Act involving redistricting in Southern states and strict new voter ID laws that strips away the guarantee of equal access to the ballot box in the 2012 election. But this is just a classic example of projection. The only mass, organized assaults on voting rights today are being perpetuated by the Democratic Party. But don’t take my word for it. Take the words of newly-minted Republican former Congressman Artur Davis, an erstwhile member of both the Democratic Party and the Congressional Black Caucus: The truth is that the most aggressive contemporary voter suppression in the African American community, at least in Alabama, is the wholesale manufacture of ballots, at the polls and absentee, in parts of the Black Belt. Voting the names of the dead, and the nonexistent, and the too-mentally-impaired to function, cancels out the votes of citizens who are exercising their rights — that’s suppression by any light. If you doubt it exists, I don’t; I’ve heard the peddlers of these ballots brag about it, I’ve been asked to provide the funds for it, and I am confident it has changed at least a few close local election results. So what I’m trying to figure out is why a black Attorney General who serves under a black President is telling black ministers to tell their congregations to support what is essentially the disenfranchisement of black voters. Wait…what? Or perhaps they want it that way. What is important is that our nation’s leading law enforcer is opposing the surest way we now have to ensure that people are who they say they are–that they are a living, breathing U.S. citizen who is qualified to vote. Somehow, this is discriminatory. Now, Mr. Holder might not be telling them outright who to vote for, but by these scare tactics, he’s implying with all the subtlety of a dumptruck crashing through a nitroglycerin plant that voting Republican is definitely a no-no. Republicans support Voter ID laws, the evil racists. http://www.redstate.com/ironchapman/2012/05/31/doj-not-even-pretending-to-be-nonpartisan-anymore/ credit to Brumar
