Senate Judiciary Committe Ok's Holder!
Only two Republicans grew a set and voted against confirming Eric Holder as Attorney General? WHERE HAVE ALL THE REAL REPUBLICANS GONE TOO! Look if the "Republicans," and I use that term very loosely, are too scared to take on Obama, Pelosi, and Reid they need to be run out of office! I say if your too scared, don't know how to handle these radical, far left wing, libs, then step aside!
From Politico 01/28/2009:
"The Senate Judiciary Committee has voted 17-2 in favor of Eric Holder’s nomination to be Barack Obama’s attorney general, sending the nomination to the full Senate for consideration.
Only two Republicans – Sens. John Cornyn of Texas and Tom Coburn of Oklahoma – voted against Holder.
Holder had been under fire from Republicans, including Arlen Specter, for his involvement in the 2001 Bill Clinton pardon of fugitive financier Marc Rich. Holder also faced tough questions about his views on waterboarding and detainee treatment at Guantanamo Bay. But Specter, the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee, voted with most of the panel to recommend his confirmation.
The full Senate could take up Holder's nomination as early as Thursday."
Congratulations to Senators John Cornyn of Texas and Tom Boburn of Oklahoma for sticking to their values and principles. What happened to Senator Arlen Specter? He was opposed to the confirmation of Holder! How disappointing! It is like a bad Twilight Zone episode.
Here is another reason we need to infiltrate our local Republican Committees and bring these "Republicans" back to their grassroots!
