conversation eric holder known leads whether
I don't think the president had anything to do with Fast and Furious. I'm not sure Eric Holder did, which leads to a conversation about whether he should have known about it.
columbia district searching ways
I'm not searching for ways to tell the District of Columbia what to do.
testify
You don't get John Gotti to testify against his driver. You get the driver to testify against John Gotti.
badass thinking president
The president already has a Nobel Prize for peace. I think he's shooting for one in fiction.
bad-ass differences people
I am not surprised that the President of the United States called this a phony scandal. I'm not surprised that Secretary Clinton asked, "What difference does it make?" I'm not even surprised that Jay Carney said that Benghazi happened 'a long time ago.' I'm just surprised at how many people bought it.
bad-ass law president
If a president can change some laws, can he change ALL laws? Can he change election laws? Can he change discrimination laws? Are there any laws, under your theory, that he actually HAS to enforce?
bad-ass years priorities
These last few years we've seen an unacceptable abuse of power, having a president whose priority is expanding his own power.
bad-ass law giving
No law can give Congress a backbone if it refuses to stand off as the coequal branch the Constitution made it.
running country jobs
Members of Congress are incredibly blessed and fortune to have the jobs that we have. Nobody makes us run. Every two years we offer for public office, and if you don't want to do it then don't run. But the notion that you can make $174,000 in this country and be underpaid is laughable.
firsts first-amendment amendments
The notion that the First Amendment has no limitations whatsoever is balderdash.
daughter latin years
My daughter took Latin for three years; she still cant speak it.
stupid bad-ass office
It's really beneath the office of a member of Congress to say something that outrageous. The fact that she was once the Speaker is mind-numbing, honestly... mind-numbingly stupid.
bad-ass thinking blue
Well, I certainly hope the Democrats participate. I continue to think that some things transcend politics like the murder of four of our fellow citizens and whether or not you trust government. That is not a red or blue issue. That is an American issue. As for whether or not they boycott, I hope they don't.
bad-ass media liberty
Congress is supposed to provide oversight, the voters are supposed to provide oversight. And you [the media] were supposed to provide oversight. That's why you have special liberties and that's why you have special protections.
