He may be registered Democrat but it is Democrat in name only.

DeFazio often votes more like an independent. His justification must be in protest to a stupid program and a stupid use of executive privilege. I'm sure he would have voted against Bushs' AG's for Plame and Attorney-Purge if the democrats had had the muscle/balls to pull the same stunts. Not my favorite name to see on the list, but I support his vote for a more transparent government, if that's what it is!

They just provide the last names without any other identification such as their state unless there are more than one with the same last name.

Decisions, decisions.............I guess I'll just have to get an extra large clothespin when I go to vote for him in November (against Richard Mourdock).

is working on. One of the Congressmen that walked out today
called this "overkill." Seems like an awful lot of people in Congress
from both sides of the isle want Holder to shut-up and be shut-out.

Keep thinking of Spitzer, prepared to investigate some of the irregularities
on Wall Street and the next thing you know he's doing the perp walk with the
wife for something he did in his personal life which was none of our business.

"Overkill" is a perfect word to describe what is happening to Holder.

what could these Democrats gain from piling on? If they're willing to play these stunt games while drawing a salary, this has to be litmus test of their being blue dogs. They're wasting taxpayer money putting on this show and should be eliminated from the party.

Racist people in these reps' home districts are being pandered to in a most disgusting way, and they'd all better get behind this president or just admit they're Republicans and stop wasting taxpayer money on such stupidity.

They must be taking in many campaign contributions from the NRA. You are correct about racist people. I live in WV. I'm not working for any of these Dems that oppose the President.

couldn't even bother to vote. He's such a wank, a real DINO. God, I wish we could find someone who's a real Democrat to replace him with.
