Contempt
For Holder? Not a Wise Move
by Jeff
Carter
April 29, 2012
Republicans
actually have a nice story to tell. The economy sucks. Anyone with a
brain
knows it is being floated with money printed by the Federal Reserve.
The world
economy sucks. Europe is going to go into a deep slow down. Italy,
Spain,
Greece and France will go off the cliff.
The
economies of Britain and Germany will be on a hamster wheel. All their
production and growth will go into a state of “just staying even”. They
will be
like traders that have a bad position, losing you money each day, but
your day
trading keeps you afloat.
It is
painfully obvious to the casual observer that the attorney general
Obama
selected, Eric Holder, is nothing more than a political hack with some
extreme
biases. Fast and Furious is a horrible way to try and get back door gun
legislation. Sort of a “by any means necessary”, version of politics.
But,
instead of using him as a punching bag to defeat Obama, they may make
him a martyr
for the left to rally around. Holder definitely lied. But unlike the
1970’s
when the press helped House and Senate Democrats go after the Nixon
administration, the mainstream press today will support Holder.
It is
highly doubtful that there will be a Deep Throat in the Obama
administration.
Political machines don’t work that way. They sniff out potential Deep
Throats
and turn them into chumbalones. Textbook example, Rod Blagojevich. You
need to
be well versed in the ways of Chicago politics to understand how the
White
House works.
Theoretically,
the House Republicans are correct. Holder ought to be held in contempt.
It’s
the politics and how it spins where they are over reaching.
Tom Delay
screwed up back in the Clinton administration when he shut the
government down,
and they will be screwing up today because Holder and his followers
will charge
racism, and hold this instance up as some sort of lynching-which it’s
not.
While now
is the time to press your bets at the political casino, this isn’t the
table
that you should be doing it at.
The odds
aren’t in Republican favor.
