I know that teabagger thing gets you all worked up. I save it for your posts. I'm just responding to the hate you demonstrate in the vast majority of your posts.

"The Dems walked out not b/c they thought they were going to lose..."

Paul, how do you know this, exactly?

" but b/c they recognized that it was a political vote."

Oh, I see. So if it was purely political, why did 15+ Democrats decide to vote to hold Holder in contempt?

"Was the vote really an "important public debate"?"

If the attorney general lied under oath? Yes, I'd call that important. How about a president who promised "transparency", invoking executive priviledge about something that clearly is a domestic matter, not something with national security implications?

"I'm just responding to the hate you demonstrate in the vast majority of your posts"

You keep saying that. Paul, you are confusing hate with common sense. Every time you (or any liberal) backs themself into an intellectual corner from which there is no escape, you call me a hate-monger. I point out one of the many irrefutable facts that makes your side's platform look absurd, and you go back to "racist tea baggers".

You don't fall back on that "teabag" line when I spew hate, you do it when you are in a no-win situation, which is almost every single time. And like so many liberals, instead of admitting your position is indefensible, you lash out. You do it again and again and again. Everyone knows it.
