Carry on.

Yeah, that's all we hear from the right wingers - bark, bark, bark.

On the other hand, all we hear from the left is - gimme, gimme, gimme, racist!, racist!, racist!

As if the left has NEVER complained about the right's "agenda".

How are so many able to succeed when the congressional investigations have shown themselves to be unproductive witch hunts?

Could very well be that it's a phony scandal, useful to Pubs for some childish mudslinging, which is why they persist without producing any results. Their unsubstantiated allegations keep many Obamaphobes foaming at the mouth, which very well may be the GOP's objective. In that sense, it's working.
I do realize that Mexican lives don't matter to Obama and apparently not to you either since you agree with this coverup.

Since you're picking up that well-beaten strawman, tell me about the number of Mexicans in your family.

Please.

Thank you.

Carry on.

Democrats through their own actions are saying that Mexican Lives don't matter.

Democrats are content with Eric Holder lying to congress under oath on this issue, they won't convict him - they would play the race card if the GOP tried.

Democrats are thrilled with Obama lying about it and blaming it on Bush.


Mexican lives matter, I wish Democrats could agree
.
Only if it can cause them to riot!

This is becoming quite silly.......notice how the left is asking how many other races are in your family or your friends. Do they ask this of other races, or just white people? Star Bucks has even offered a quiz on the back of their cups.

I would be very leery of a dem who wanted to be my friend if I wasn't white, seems they choose friends by race and not by actually being a friend.

My grandmother was 1/2 Spanish, with her blue eyes and white skin most would have called her European....

You have an emotional attachment to Obama.

You ignore Obama's own actions and blame Bush.

Obama's administration chose to give significantly (~5 times) more guns to drug lords.
Obama chose to lie and blame Fast and Furious on Bush.
Obama chose to use executive orders to block transparency.
Eric Holder lied to Congress under Oath.

And you enable it, by sweeping it under the rug, since Obama is dreamy and has a D after his name.

Mexican Lives Matter.

The entire premise of the thread is moronic.

Just another Obama-bashing fest among the dozens started by the rabid right each and every day.

Spaniards are European. I've been there and can confirm that Spain is definitely in Europe.

Stop diverting the blame around:

Obama CHOSE to LIE about his gun program.
Obama CHOSE to FALSELY BLAME BUSH for his own gun program.
Obama CHOSE to use EXECUTIVE ORDERS to STOP Investigations.
HOLDER CHOSE to LIE to Congress while under Oath.

It is sickening that you look at hundreds of people shot with Obama's guns and say it is a phony scandal. I realize that you just think they are mostly Mexicans so it doesn't matter, but if one of your loved ones were shot with an Obama gun, I bet you aren't sheep and callous enough to keep excusing it away as phony - it would become real to you at that point.
It's a waste of time to try and reason with O-cult members.

Nope. Don't even really like the guy much.

Nope. But it is Bush's program. That's a fact. And when Obama came into office he inherited it along with several hundred other terrible policies.

What? You mean to tell me he blamed it on the guy who started it? Holy cow!

Yeah okay. Because this was his priority when he came into office...

I enable it? WOW, I must be pretty important if I am personally enabling the President and Attorney General to do anything. My mother would be proud!

Carry on.

You have yet to provide why this is a straw-man discussion?

Why is that?

Carry on!
