When the House of Representatives held the vote on whether
or not to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress, most of the
Democrats chose to take the low road.
Instead of coming down on the side of integrity and demanding that Mr.
Holder cooperate with the House Oversight Committee, they chose to play the
race card. Nancy Pelosi declared that it
was all about denying minorities their right to vote. Her comment indicates that either Ms. Pelosi
is either an idiot, or she is so far out of touch with reality, she ought not
to be in the Congress.
When the 108 or so Democrats decided to “take their marbles
and go home”, because they couldn’t control the proceedings, they demonstrated
just how immature they really are. As
Herman Cain said, “They acted like spoiled children.” He nailed their behavior as accurately as
anyone has.
It is a shame that, of the 193 Democrats in the House of
Representatives, only seventeen possess the integrity to demand that Mr. Holder
abide by the law and provide the information necessary for the House Oversight
Committee to investigate what took place in the Fast and Furious operation that resulted in the deaths of Agent
Brian Terry and untold numbers of Mexican citizens.
When the Democrats such as Nancy Pelosi say that the
Republicans are on a witch hunt and should be concentrating on jobs, they
choose to ignore a number of facts. They
ignore the fact that the Republican-led House has already sent some thirty jobs
bills to the Senate for action that are languishing in the Senate, where
Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) chooses not to bring them to the floor. They ignore the fact that Mr. Holder has been
stone-walling the Oversight Committee for approximately eighteen months. Most of all, they ignore the fact than an
American Border Patrol Agent and a number of innocent Mexican citizens paid for
the botched operation with their lives.
To Ms. Pelosi and her Democrat colleagues, I say, “Shame on
you. You are failing to do your duty,
the duty to which you were elected, the duty which you swore an oath to
fulfill! Shame on you!”
