(Page 2 of 2)
Holder cares little about electoral fraud. "I think there is a feeling among Republicans that there is a widespread amount of voter fraud out there. I don't think the statistics actually would substantiate it," he told Fox News in 2004.
Holder rarely misses an opportunity to advocate expanding the size and scope of the federal government. He told the 2004 ACS gathering, "Government has been the primary force for positive social change in our country's history. It can be again."
Holder's nomination was approved Jan. 28 by the Senate Judiciary Committee on a 17 to 2 vote. Only Sens. John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Tom Coburn (R-Oklahoma) voted in the negative. After initial grumbling about Holder's role in the Marc Rich pardon, Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pennsylvania) flip-flopped, as is his wont, and bipartisan euphoria broke out.
The full Senate could take up the nomination as soon as today
drudge ette obama| 1.29.09 @ 6:38AM
Recall the old phrase that "people who talk about class don't have any"? Well, when Holder used the word arrogance with respect to conservatives, I think he is the arrogant one.
When I hear "postive social change" in the same sentence as goverment, my eyes blur. How unoriginal and what a great clue into Holder's head.
I am long- tired by the 1970s and 1980s terms which were drummed into our heads in school, I view Holder as the stereotypical liberal. That he is black is secondary. He is liberal first, black next? Like Obama, these types use their race to further their liberal policies. Their comfort group isn't the local chapter of the NAACP - it is the Sierra Club, NARAL, MOVEON...
Nothing about Holder makes me believe he has an ounce of reverence for the founders of this country or the Constitution they crafted . Law schools are populated by these same types - and the students are indoctrinated in the living constitution garbage. Just ask a lawyer to explain the right to privacy which justified the decision in Roe.
My instinct says Holder is contemptuous of America, its people, business, free enterprise, and that he will do everything possible to defeat it.
My instinct also thinks that he won't last long.
Arlen Spector should be whiplashed.
Melvin| 1.29.09 @ 7:08AM
To a certain extent we have no room to whine. The electorate had a chance to get rid of that octogenarian political weasel Pennsylvanian Arlan Specter but he was reelected.
The damage that Eric Holder will cause is incalculable. This man is full of anger and will be bent on revenge to Americans, and to rub salt into the wound President Obama will use his political gravitas to cover for Holder's abuses of the Constitution.
The ruling political class in Washington D.C. is using the Constitution as toilet paper and we as Americans are letting them to do it.
What is it going to take for Americans to rise up and fight back? Federal troops searching our homes for firearms, political reeducation camps, joing the European Union,the elimination of private property rights.
Mark my words people, this issue is going to come to a head and explode and the results won't be pretty. Then where will that bastard Specter be then.
Rocco| 1.29.09 @ 7:09AM
I thoroughly agree, Drudgette. Methinks Holder suffers from what psychiatrists call "projection."
As Rush and Hannity say, elections do have consequences, and we are seeing them more and more each day, and they're not pretty.
Pocono Joe| 1.29.09 @ 7:40AM
Melvin
Yes you may blame the electorate for Arlen Specter. Don't discount the fact that George W. and the elites of the Republican Party rushed in to save the day for Specter when Pat Toomey started looking too strong in the primary challenge. Their thinking being that they couldn't stand to lose such a reliable, senior Republican Senator. This on top of his past performance. I'm registered as "no party affiliation" in Pennsylvania. Except for Ronald Reagan, I never had any use for the Republican party and despise the other one.
Griff| 1.29.09 @ 7:56AM
It's more of the same old liberal tactic: accuse others of doing exactly what you're guilty of doing. Judging from some of Holder's comments, it's difficult to say that he's misinformed. Saying he's a liar is probably a more accurate statement.
Anthony| 1.29.09 @ 10:30AM
Wow!! Holder has the Orwellian doublespeak down perfect. What a great job of transference, it's no wonder he was able to make Marc Rich and Puerto Rican terrorists seem so pardonable. After all, as long as they weren't conservatives. Even Holder has his standards!!
Massgopguy| 1.29.09 @ 10:37AM
The more I hear Democrats speak of "equality" the more I am reminded of Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut.
Jay| 1.29.09 @ 10:41AM
They all can be removed one way or another. It just takes time and research.The achilles heal will make itself known eventually to the ones who seek it the most earnestly. It is time for the calculated personal investigations to start, cladestinely of course. The skeletons will rattle out and Barry and his cromies will be discredited and ostracized.
Anthony| 1.29.09 @ 10:48AM
Melvin is right, but it goes beyond Specter. Holder's nomination is a fait accompli and Specter, the McCain Republican that he is, can't stop him. But a little principled push back would be nice, but that's not how RINOs operate, except against other Republicans. Obama made all things clear to congressional Republicans and us when he told them to take a hike on tax cuts and business investment with two words, " I won". Indeed he did, and Holder is just another spoil to the victor, unless of course you're a conservative, then all bets are off. Elections have consequences, and we are just beginning to pay for the folly of 52% of our fellow citizens.
Appleby| 1.29.09 @ 10:51AM
Stand back and let it crash, and bring down ALL the "It be our turn now, honkeys" types with it and bury them under the rubble so deep that they will never get out again. The only way to resolve the whole teetering house of cards is to stand back, as Ayn Rand said 50 years ago, and let it crash.
See you at Galt's Gulch.

It is really depressing to me to realize that Obama likes haters, just like Clinton did.
jax| 1.29.09 @ 4:26PM
Apparently the problem with Holder's nomiation is not that he's wrong in his beliefs or statments, but that there's disagreement regarding said statements. Since when does disagreement validate an argument? Oh, wait. I just had a flashback to the Bush Administration.
p.s. waterboarding is torture and if you disagree, be the first in your neighborhood to have it done to you...your family...your children...your spouse. If neocons can be honest and say that we will use any means necessary to get information from enemy combatants that's one thing, but don't piss on my leg and tell me that it's raining. You're not that smart and I'm not that stupid.
ruth| 1.29.09 @ 5:23PM
Okay, jax, next time I, my children and/or my friends mastermind the murders of 3,000 Americans on a certain September morning, torture and slaughter civilians in India and murder large numbers of civilians around the world, we will submit to waterboarding. You should be waterboarded just for being so stupid. Moron.
HISTORY FOLKS| 1.29.09 @ 5:32PM
Who has been murdering who? Americans have committed more murders around the world than even Adolph HITLER.

That is the most assinine post, EVER.
jax| 1.29.09 @ 6:26PM
Ruth, put the pork chop down and get your head outta your azz. Torture is torture regardless to how/why you justify it. My point, if you can read for comprenhension, is don't lie about it and try to take the moral high ground by calling it something else. No one is fooled, Ruth, except for maybe you who somehow believe that it's okay as long as we do it to "them."
ruth| 1.29.09 @ 7:09PM
Yes, the fearless liberal taking the 'moral high ground' from his cushy lazyboy chair. So easy to be so arrogant when you have nothing at stake. Coward.
Ex-Donkey| 1.29.09 @ 7:09PM
jax,
In typical Lefty Ignorant fashion, "torture is torture" because you say it is?
You define something as torture if I don't want to "be the first in your neighborhood to have it done to you..."
By that standard, having B.H. Obama as president is torture.
And History Folks, please site your sources.
ruth| 1.29.09 @ 7:11PM
Jax and HISTORY FOLKS are both liberals.
Anthony| 1.29.09 @ 7:15PM
Hey HistoryFolks, where did you get your undergraduate degree Harvard? Perhaps you might remember Pol Pot, Mao, and Josef Stalin, you complete moron!!
jax| 1.29.09 @ 7:20PM
Ruth, donkey...wow, it only took two blogs for you to run out of ideas and resort to name calling. I win AND you're idiots.
History |Folks| 1.29.09 @ 7:26PM
Antony.
You think you are smart, which I know you are a total idiot, answer this how many wars has America started since world war 2.
ruth| 1.29.09 @ 8:00PM
Actually, jax, I insulted you on my first post, moron. Poor reading skills ? Public skool education for sure.
ruth| 1.29.09 @ 8:02PM
History, I know you're Daffy Daphne. Put the crack pipe down-your paranoia is showing again.
History Folks| 1.29.09 @ 8:23PM
The Number of country is 84 different countries if we include Afganistan.
For those who do not know their history.
History Folks| 1.29.09 @ 8:26PM
Ruth why don't you get a life, what are you Zionis, and want to distort the truth. Nothing you have to discuss has any revelance to a single subject . Stick your head back up your ass, you may learn something.
drudge ette obama| 1.29.09 @ 8:29PM
Regroup. Go back to the original thread of thought. Stop the "ruth" madness. Ruth, if you are a woman whose mother named you after a biblical woman, you are not drawing people to persuasion because your posts are a bit almondy - nutty to most. Ruth, energy is best spent keeping warm, running cars, not publishing drivel. Which lasts longer? The flame of a nut on fire? Or Ruth on her keyboard?
Goodnight, Ruth.
drudge ette obama| 1.29.09 @ 8:39PM
History Folks and JAX, Ruth has fought a good fight. She deserves a rest. She went down to your level. I encourage her to avoid you, fight better opponents. Goodnight, Ruth. Fight well done. Save your might for another day.
Ruth is not going to
ruth| 1.29.09 @ 8:40PM
Bug off, Drudge ette (stupid name). Who named you thread monitor? Get off your high horse and go lecture someone else.
Ex-Donkey| 1.29.09 @ 8:47PM
jax,
Thanks for continuing to illustrate my point.
History Folks, I'm really trying to understand what your point is...
The U.S. has started 84 wars?
And what's a "Zionis?" If you mean "Zionist," your agenda becomes pretty clear.
Frosty| 1.29.09 @ 9:03PM
Ruth might be a little flippant at times, but someone's got to call liberals out when they lie. Conservatives are too mealy-mouthed and it hasn't worked out very well for us. Liberals are street-fighters; sometimes we should be, too.

Ruth, we're sorry. We apologize. We should know what torture is when we molest little boys or threaten a pregnant unwed mother to be kicked out of welfare if she doesn't abort. We're morally repugnant and we envy you. Just don't ask us to change. Please.
ruth| 1.29.09 @ 9:22PM
I accept your apology, jax, glad I could be of assistance.
drudge ette obama| 1.29.09 @ 9:24PM
Actually Ruth, I always come to the rescue of my liberal, ignorant and brutish brothers, jax and History Folks whenever a smart and fine lady like you gives them a hard time. Since our stint in Ft Leavenworth, we try to stick together. We try hard, if you get my drift!
S.L. Toddard| 1.29.09 @ 10:06PM

Just to keep the record straight.
TN Hunter| 1.30.09 @ 6:18AM
Great Post Melvin
Weasels like Specter will be in hiding like the rest of the elites if the American people ever decide to take their Country back. They will be just like the little piss in their pants liberals out begging for someone to take care of them. America will not last through another 40 years of Democratic Socialist rule. We will either crumble economically or explode into chaos or both. I will be glad to be on the Patriotic side of thought when it becomes necessary to defend what is right and try to preserve the actual Constitution of our founders.
I do have a question for some of our more spineless brethren.
What war was it that our soldiers were never tortured in?
jax| 1.30.09 @ 4:33PM
Several of you morons have high jacked my moniker and posted false comments. Apparently using your own id and ideas to blog are beyond your capabilities. Typical. And while I've enjoyed wading in your ceaspool of drivel, I've got better things to do with my time.
Ruth, is English your first language?
S.L Haggard Toddard, I'm not available to participate in homo erotic fantasies.
drudge, by now your head should be ready to explode trying to come up with something clever. Just stop. You put up the good fight.
ruth| 1.30.09 @ 6:17PM
Jax, you've shown your true nasty liberal self, and it didn't take much effort to bait you into doing it. No one is more vicious than a supercilious liberal. Snark.
ruth| 1.30.09 @ 6:21PM
Oh, by the way, smart boy, that's cesspool; something you should know, since you live in one.

apparently the application of a living constitution, or a document that attempts to hold ideas as their requirements change over time- is a myth- adjusting to circumstance is not a liberal policy, but rather a sane measure taken upon by people in office for good reson. of course this is not always the case. can anyone say 'patriot act'
