In my previous post I explained how I didn't believe anyone with a "sound mind" could defend Attorney General Holder. If he is innocent, then just turn over the documents that PROVE your innocene (seems pretty straight forward, even for a liberal!) That being said, Pelosi has displayed an utter disregard for, well, common sense and any sense of polticial knowledge. I'll delve into her argument soon, but first, a brief digression about understanding how a liberal ends up at these ridiculous conclusions time and time again.
Now I used to be a huge Glenn Beck fan, I tried to watch him everyday for the full hour, as well as read every book he released. As time went on though, I realized watching his show wasn't turning me into an "informed conservative" ,per se, but rather just an arrogant one. The way Glenn presents his points is through a dichotmoty of either "go the conservative route and propser" or "listen to the left and the whole world will end." Although he placed a great emphasis on history and past presidents, he rarely presented the actual Liberal argument. For example, he assumed that there was no legitimate reason that anyone who wanted America to thrive would vote against the extension of the Bush Tax cuts at the end of last year. Honestly, I really couldn't comprehend either, and that's when I turned to Sean Hannity. On his show he routinley invites Democratic Strategists such as Joe Trippi, Democratic pollsters, and then liberal fox news contributors as well. His whole show's premise is basically him presenting his argument (i.e. the conservative view point) and then inviting a liberal to straight up debate the topic. I was immeaditely drawn to this rubric because now I can at least see where the left is coming from on certain issues, even if I don't agree. It helped me better understand the vast differences in political philoshpy between the right and left.
On a side note, wonder why you never hear any liberal trying to smear Hannity or critizing one of his quotes? It's because he backs up everything he says with facts and logic, and then proceeds to win debates against the toughest liberal opponents he can find. He is easily my favorite conservative pundit and demands an enormous amount of respect.
So why the digression? I just wanted everyone to view Pelosi's response with an open mind first and at least see where she's coming from. The point is, you won't be able to. Her argument is so laughbly bad that there is no way I can even begin to comprehend how the hell she arrived at the following conclusion. Pelosi actually believes that the reason why Republicans want to hold the Attorney General accountable is "because of his department's crackdown on State Voter ID laws".... Yes, you read the correctly. Pelosi thinks that Republicans are angry at Holder because he wants to increase voter fraud by making sure people don't have to show an ID at the polls. So what's the perfect way to get back at him? Hold him in contempt of course!!!
Now, while that is an EXTREMELY good argument (HAH!), this proves that Pelosi might indeed just be more out of touch with the American people than Obama. Does she not realize that an American border patrol agent died? Or that his parents are looking for an answer? Or that by Obama issuing an executive privilege, he's basically admitting that the "White House officials were involved in decisions that misled congress and covered up the truth", according to Speaker Boehner.
It's still just unfathomable to me that Pelosi somehow reached the conclusion she did. Really? Voter ID laws are the cause? Obama has remarkably created probably one of the most partisian adminstrations to the point where even when one of their own is clearly in the wrong, all liberals jump to his defense and blame Republicans.
When it comes down to it, I could care less if you have a "D" or an "R" in front of your name, we are all Americans. And as Americans we should come together and demand justice for Brian Terry and the family he left behind. Enough blame games and ridiculous accusations, just turn over the documents and be done with it.
